AGENDA ITEMS
2.
Staff recommending the Task Force receive a presentation on the
County's Traffic Impact Fee Offset Program and engage in discussion.
Public Comment: F. Porter
Staff presented an overview of the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Offset Program to the
Task Force, including background information, Board Policy B-14 (TIF Offset
Program for Developments with Affordable Housing Units), current eligibility
requirements, and potential modifications to the program.
The Task Force discussed possible recommended changes, including the
frequency of program rounds, unit eligibility requirements, and affordability
periods for deed-restricted units.
3.
Staff recommending the Task Force receive an update on the Affordable
Housing Ordinance.
Public Comment: None
Staff provided an update on affordable housing fees to the Task Force following
additional discussions with industry experts. The update included the
clarification that inclusionary housing in-lieu fees are generally more legally
defensible than impact fees; nonresidential fees remain subject to Mitigation
Fee Act requirements; and a recommendation that the Task Force reconsider an
inclusionary housing program with an in-lieu fee rather than establishing new
residential impact fees.
Following discussion, staff and the Task Force agreed to continue researching
alternative approaches and reviewing practices in other jurisdictions before
potentially revisiting the Resolution of Intention (ROI).
