Article 7. 14.4 Density Bonus for Affordable Housing <br /> 35 This presentation was made by Mary Scearbo. In summary this item was <br /> 36 presented to receive citizen comment on a proposal to provide incentives for the <br /> 37 development of housing affordable to low and moderate income families. The Report of the <br /> 38 Low-Moderate Income Housing Task Force, completed September, 1987, included a <br /> 39 recommendation to amend the Zoning Ordinance to increase incentives for new construction <br /> 40 of low and moderate-income housing. The proposed amendment provides such an incentive <br /> 41 by offering a density increase when affordable housing opportunities are created by a <br /> 42 developer. The density bonus provisions apply only to Planned Developments located <br /> 43 outside of a protected watershed, and could be applied in one of several ways: <br /> 44 1) A density increase of up to 25% if a percentage of the units or lots are sold or rented <br /> 45 to low or moderate income households. <br /> 46 2) A density increase of up to 25% if off-site land area is donated to Orange County for <br /> z7 future development of an equivalent number of affordable units. <br /> 48 3) A 50% density increase if all of the lots/units are reserved for qualifying households. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Occupancy would be restricted by a contractual agreement with the Orange County Department <br /> 51 of housing and Community Development, and should be binding for at least 15 years. <br /> 52 <br />
