These <br />requirements can add substantial additional cost to affordable housing <br />projects. <br /> <br />Objectives: <br />. Continue to exempt affordable housing projects from the City's <br />park impact fee. <br />. Consider developing an ordinance that exempts affordable <br />projects from specific site improvements and other impact fees. <br />. Continue to offer an in-lieu fee for the undergrounding of <br />utilities to projects that qualify. Ensure that affordable housing <br />developers and appropriate City departments are aware of the <br />in-lieu fee option through the development of educational <br />materials (newsletters and brochures). <br /> <br />Funding Sources: <br /> <br />Ongoing; Create educational brochure by 2010. <br />Community Development Services Department <br />_ Planning Division and Housing Division <br />Departmental Budget <br /> <br />Timeframe: <br />Responsible Agency: <br /> <br />Aeriol1 H.19: Permit Processing <br />lengthy review periods associated with permit processing are perceived <br />as one of the major constraints to housing development in any city, with <br />delays in project development increasing the holding cost of <br />developments. Complicated procedures may also discourage new <br />development especially by affordable and special needs housing <br />developers. To facilitate residential development, the City provides <br />development pre-application review and offers a streamlined <br />processing system that simplifies and expedites development <br />processing. <br /> <br />Objectives: <br />. Continue to evaluate and improve the streamlined processing <br />system to facilitate residential development. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~"MWIJ[.:p.-'~.""ll"~.~~ <br />
