A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
WAIVING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND METER INSTALLATION FEES FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS.
WHEREAS, the City's General Plan policies encourage the production of housing which
meets the needs of very-low, low, and moderate income households; and
WHEREAS, Program 1.22.15 of the Housing Element provides that the City will amend
its regulations to reduce development review and permit costs for certain affordable housing
projects in order to increase their financial feasibility and reduce actual sales costs to affordable
levels; and
WHEREAS, the City has established development review fees for Planning, Building
and Safety, and Engineering Services pursuant to State and local laws; and such fees add to the
cost to develop housing, thereby reducing the economic feasibility of developing affordable
housing; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Community Development has determined that the proposed
amendment is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
under Section 15273 of the State CEQA Guidelines as the purpose of the amendment is to
modify charges which are for the purpose of meeting municipal expenses;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Fee Exemptions. Residential development projects which meet the City's
affordability standards for very-low and low income households, and for which provisions have
been made to ensure that they will continue to meet affordability standards for the life of the
housing to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director, shall be exempt from all
planning, building, engineering and any other similar development review fees as well as any
water meter or sewer installation fees. Impact fees for funding capital facility improvements
necessary to serve the project shall not be included in this blanket exemption. Whenever a
project includes a combination of affordable and market rate housing units, fees shall be pro-
rated appropriately as determined by the Community Development Director.
SECTION 2. Administration. The Director of Community Development shall administer the
affordable housing fee waiver program.
SECTION 3. Notice and Publication. The City Clerk shall publish a summary of the
resolution in a newspaper of local circulation.
SECTION 4. Environmental Determination. The City Council has determined that the
proposed fee waiver program is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act and the City's Environmental Guidelines.
