Section 66473.5: The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Tentative Map and land use is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the City's General Plan as described in this staff report. While the state law also references specific plans, there is no specific plan that applies to the project site. Section 6. Affordable Housing Plan (Sections 29.7(C) and (D)): The Planning Commission finds that: 29.7 C: (a) The proposed affordable units comply with the applicable standards in this Article including, without limitation, the requirement that the affordable units be made available for occupancy concurrently with the market -rate units. The proposed project is commercial and not residential, therefore no market -rate units are proposed. With respect to other applicable standards, the applicants are proposing an alternative to paying the affordable housing impact fee directly to the City which the Affordable Housing Ordinance allows for consideration. In addition, the applicant is proposing an alternative method of paying the required affordable housing impact fee that would help finance the purchase of an existing 10 -unit residential building, which would then be converted to deed -restricted affordable housing. (b) The affordable units will mitigate the impact of the project on the need for affordable housing if the units are being provided under the Affordable Housing Impact Fee program. This proposed alternative would pay the required affordable housing impact fee directly to HIP Housing, a nonprofit organization, instead of to the City. HIP Housing would use the funds to purchase an existing 10 -unit residential building and deed restrict the units to be affordable housing for 55 years.
