2006/11/28 City Council Resolution (9)RESOLUTION NO. 2006- 277
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
APPROVING AND ADOPTING FEES FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING LINKAGE
FEE FOR NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, on November 14, 2006, the City Council introduced an Affordable Housing
Linkage Fee for non - residential development by Ordinance No.771; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance specifies that the amount of the Affordable Housing Linkage
Fee will be set forth by city council resolution; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the affordable housing linkage fee is to assist in the
provision of affordable housing for workers employed in the City or Rohnert Park ( "City ") as a
result of non - residential development; and
WHEREAS, the affordable housing linkage fee will be used to provide affordable
housing in the City; and
WHEREAS, there is a reasonable relationship between the affordable housing linkage
fee and non - residential development because the nexus study conducted in 2001 for the County
of Sonoma and cities in Sonoma County and updated in 2006 for the City of Rohnert Park,
copies of which are incorporated by reference, demonstrate the number of low- income employees
generated by non - residential development; and
WHEREAS, there is a reasonable relationship between the need for affordable housing
and non - residential development because the 2001 nexus study and the 2006 update demonstrate
that workers employed as a result of non - residential development need affordable housing in the
City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park as follows:
