Ownership Housing
Developers are required to set aside 20% of total project units as designated below market rates (BMRs) for moderate-income households.
For ownership residential projects partially in Emeryville, 20% of the total project units in Emeryville shall be set-aside units or 10% of all the units in the project shall be set aside with those units located in Emeryville, whichever is greater. In applying these percentage, any decimal fraction less than or equal to 0.50 may be disregarded and any decimal fraction greater than 0.50 shall be construed as requiring one dwelling unit.
Developers of projects requiring development bonuses must set aside project units as designated BMRs for very low-income households, low-income households, and moderate-income households in accordance with Section 9-4.204 (d)(1) of the Planning Regulations.
Rental Housing
Developers shall pay affordable housing impact fees to mitigate the project's impact on the need for affordable housing in the City or may instead provide on-site rental affordable units.
For on-site rental units, the developer shall set aside 12% of total project units as designated BMRs, of which 4% of total project units shall be designated as BMRs for very low-income households and 8% of total project units shall be designated as BMRs for low-income households. In applying these percentages, any decimal fraction less than or equal to 0.50 may be disregarded and any decimal fraction greater than 0.50 shall be construed as requiring one dwelling unit.
