12/07/2015 EXHIBIT "A" Housinq Impact Fees for Residential Development Prolects Calculation of Square Footage: Housing impact fees for residential projects shall be calculated using the net new square footage of Residential Floor Area for the dwelling unit to which the housing impact fee relates. As used in the Nexus Study, "Residential Floor Area" for Single-Family Detached Homes, Townhomes, Duplexes, and Triplexes includes all horizontal areas of the several floors of such buildings measured from the exterior faces of exterior walls or from the center line of party walls separating two (2) buildings, minus the horizontal areas of such buildings used exclusively for parking. As used in the Nexus Study, "Residential Floor Area" for Apartments and Condominiums includes all horizontal areas of the several floors of such buildings measured from the exterior faces of exterior walls or from the center line of party walls separating two (2) buildings, minus the horizontal areas of such buildings used exclusively for covered porches, patios, or other outdoor space, amenities and common space, parking, elevators, stairwells or stairs between floors, hallways, and between-unit circulation. Affordable Units: Square footage of units that are affordable in the moderate, low, very low, or extremely low income ranges are exempt from this calculation. For a unit to qualify as affordable, it must be deed-restricted. State Density Bonus: For Residential Development Projects that are granted a density bonus pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915 et seq. (the "State Density Bonus Law") and Chapter 32.19 of the Redwood City Municipal Code, the Housing Impact Fee shall apply to all market-rate units, including any additional market-rate units provided under the State Density Bonus Law and Chapter 32.19. The required Housing Impact Fee shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that any Affordable Units mitigate the market- rate units' impact on the need for affordable housing in the City. The Community Development Director may issue guidelines from time to time regarding the calculation of any fee reduction. Time of Payment: Fees shall be paid that are in effect at the time of issuance of the building permit for the residential development, based on the effective rate at the time of building permit issuance.
