12/07/2015 WHEREAS, in recognition of the reduced impact of projects paying Area Standard Wages, the City Council now desires to adopt an Area Standard Wage Policy that will reduce the Housing Impact Fee for all residential and nonresidential development projects that voluntarily enter into an agreement with the City to pay Area Standard Wages consistent with this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the staff report accompanying this Resolution and referenced documents have been presented to and considered by the City Council in support of the findings and approvals set forth in this Resolution; are hereby incorporated by reference in this Resolution; and, together with the above recitals any public testimony received, form the evidentiary basis and establish the analytical route for reaching the ultimate findings and conclusions contained in this Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Redwood City as follows: 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated into this Resolution by this reference. 2. The provisions of this Resolution shall apply to all residential and nonresidential development projects, as such terms are defined in the Affordable Housing Ordinance, where the developer voluntarily enters into an "Area Standard Wage Participation Agreement" (an "Agreement") with the City. The Agreement shall apply to construction of the development project and related public works that are within the customary jurisdiction of the construction trades and crafts, whether performed on or off- site, but need not include off-site work perFormed by materialmen, as defined under California law. 3. Upon execution of an Agreement that conforms to the requirements of this Resolution, a developer of a residential or nonresidential development project shall be entitled to a reduction of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Housing Impact Fee that would otherwise be applicable to the residential or nonresidential development project. 4. All employees performing construction work for a project subject to an Agreement shall be paid not less than the Area Standard Wage or the highest prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined and published by the California Department of Industrial Relations subject to California Labor Code Section 1733 from the commencement of construction until the issuance of the later of either a final certificate of occupancy or a final inspection, but excluding tenant improvements. Nothing in this resolution shall be construed to prohibit payment of more than Area Standard Wages.
