Agenda Item
9. VOLUNTARY WORKFORCE HOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM ORDINANCE AND IN-LIEU FEE
Ordinance No. 1491 was adopted in September of 2018 by adding Chapter 9B to the Tustin City Code entitled "Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program". The Ordinance and In-Lieu Fee are applicable only if a developer proposes to "up zone" property using the "Residential Allocation Reservation" process to add residential units on property not currently zoned for residential uses within the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan and the Red Hill Specific Plan areas.
At its August 17, 2021 meeting, the City Council requested that staff return to the October 5, 2021 meeting for the Council to discuss potential policy direction options regarding the City's Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program Ordinance and In-Lieu Fee. During that meeting, it was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Lumbard and seconded by Council Member Gallagher to continue the item to the October 19, 2021 Council meeting.
