Section 2. Findings. The City Council hereby makes the following findings
concerning the proposed amendments to Chapter 17.07.020(N)—Footnotes, Inclusionary
Housing, of the Municipal Code:
1. That the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code are consistent with the
General Plan 2020.
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed amendments to the Municipal Code are consistent
with the General Plan 2020 Goals and Policies of avoiding unnecessary costs to
housing development(HO-3.5). The proposed amendments are also consistent with
Programs HO-3.0 and HO-3.D which call for the development of an in-lieu fee and
the amendment of the inclusionary housing ordinance to remove requirements for
market rate rental projects.
2. That the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance will be beneficial to the
public health, safety or welfare.
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed amendments to the Municipal Code will provide
for the health, safety and welfare of individuals living in Rohnert Park by continuing
to provide mechanisms for the creation and funding of new affordable housing and
the preservation of affordable housing.
Section 3. Environmental Review. The City Council finds that adoption of this
ordinance is not a project within the meaning of section 15378 of the Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA Guidelines") because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, either directly or ultimately.
The City Council also finds the approval of this ordinance is exempt under Section 15061(b)(3)
of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Lastly the fee
provisions of the proposed ordinance do not constitute a project under CEQA pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines section 15378(b)(4),which says that the creation of government funding mechanisms
that do not involve a commitment to a particular project do not fall under the auspices of CEQA.
Section 4. Amendment of Municipal Code Chapter 17.07.020(N)—Footnotes,
Inclusionary Housing. The City Council hereby amends and replaces Rohnert Park Municipal
Code Section 17.07.020(N)—Footnotes, Inclusionary Housing, in its entirety with Section
17.07.020(N), as shown in Exhibit A attached hereto.
Section 5. Severability. The City Council hereby declares that every section,
paragraph, sentence, clause, and phrase of this ordinance is severable. If any section, paragraph,
sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason found to be invalid or
unconstitutional, such invalidity, or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or
constitutionality of the remaining sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases.

Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective 30 days
after its adoption.

review and approval by the city council. An alternative equivalent action shall be
considered on a case-by-case basis and may be approved at the city council's sole

compliance with the express requirements of subsection 17.07.020(N)(3).
b. An alternative equivalent action may include,but is not limited to,donation of vacant
land suitable for housing to a non-profit housing developer, transfer of inclusionary
unit credits, construction of affordable units on another site, enforcement of required
rental/sales price restrictions on existing market-rate dwelling units, and/or

be satisfied by acquiring inclusionary unit credits that are transferable from
one residential development project to another. The city council may
approve issuance of a specified number of credit certificates for that number
4
of affordable units provided by a particular residential development project
in excess of the minimum number required for the project. Credit
certificates shall be issued for specific income categories and may only be
used to satisfy the requirements for affordable units within that same income
category. All credit transfers must be approved by the City Manager and
documented in a form suitable to the City Attorney.
(3) Second dwelling units. Not more than fifty percent of the requirements of
this section may be satisfied through the development of second dwelling
units at a ratio of two second dwelling units counted as one affordable

dwelling units shall only be allowed for meeting the affordability
requirements for very-low and low-income households.

17.07.020(N)(3) and/or for rental residential projects that propose to include
affordable units within the project, the city council may consider, in its sole
discretion, the provision of the following additional concessions or incentives
identified in Government Code Section 65915 which are consistent with state law
and the housing element of the city of Rohnert Park general plan.
(1) An additional density bonus or other incentives of equal financial value

trust fund or other appropriate available funds subject to the
recommendation of the city manager.

housing element of the city of Rohnert Park general plan.

a. Developers of for-sale residential projects proposing 50 units or less,which are not
part of a larger project, and developers of for-sale residential projects with
fractional inclusionary housing requirements may elect to pay a residential
affordable housing in-lieu fee in the amount set forth by City Council.
b. Unless otherwise preempted by law, the housing in-lieu fee shall be paid prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
5
C. In establishing the residential affordable housing in-lieu fee,the City Council shall
consider the affordability gap between development costs and the value of the
affordable units, based on income levels.

a. Developers of all new rental residential development projects must pay a rental
affordable housing fee in the amount set forth by the City Council.
b. Unless otherwise preempted by law,the rental affordable housing fee shall be paid

proceed without payment of housing impact fees pursuant to state law.

section for such project has already been satisfied including, but not limited to,

destroyed by fire or natural catastrophes so long as the square footage and use of
the building remains the same.

9. Adjustment or Waiver Procedures
a. A developer of any project subject to the requirements of 17.07.020(N)may appeal
to the city council for a reduction,adjustment,or waiver of the requirements based
upon the absence of any reasonable relationship between the impacts of
development and the amount of the fee charged or the inclusionary requirement,
as applicable.
b. A developer subject to the requirements of this chapter who has received an
approved tentative subdivision or parcel map, use permit or similar discretionary
approval and who submits a new or revised tentative subdivision or parcel map,
use permit or similar discretionary approval for the same property may appeal for
a reduction, adjustment or waiver of the requirements with respect to the number
of lots or square footage of construction previously approved.
C. Any such appeal shall be made in writing and filed with the city clerk not later
than ten calendar days before the first public hearing on any discretionary approval
or permit for the development, or if no such discretionary approval or permit is

permit or approval,the appeal shall be filed within ten calendar days after payment
of the fees objected to.

waiver, reduction, or adjustment. The city council shall consider the appeal at the
public hearing on the permit application or at a separate hearing within sixty
calendar days after the filing of the appeal, whichever is later. The appellant shall
bear the burden of presenting substantial evidence to support the appeal including
comparable technical information to support appellant's position and shall bear the
cost of the appeal.
e. No waiver shall be approved by the city council for a new tentative subdivision or
parcel map, use permit or similar discretionary approval on property with an
approved tentative subdivision or parcel map, use permit or similar discretionary
permit unless the council finds that the new tentative subdivision or parcel map,
use permit or similar discretionary approval is superior to the approved project
both in its design and its mitigation of environmental impacts.The decision of the
council shall be final. If a reduction, adjustment, or waiver is granted, any change
in the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment, or reduction of the fee or
inclusionary requirement.

segregated account and all expenditures of these funds shall be documented and
included in an annual report which shall be available for public inspection.
