So we'll begin with a staff presentation from our housing specialist, Ana Reynoso, and affordable housing manager, Julie Bernard, thank you.
Good evening chair and commissioners.
My name is Ana Reynoso and I'm a housing specialist here at the city.
This evening I am accompanied by affordable housing manager Julie Barnard and housing director Wayne Chen.
This evening we will be presenting on the ordinance amendments to the below market rate program also referred to as BMR.
This evening's presentation will be divided into three main parts.
We will provide some background, which includes an overview of the current BMR program, along with the BMR review process.
The second part of the presentation is focused on the seven proposed amendments to the BMR ordinance.
Finally, we will conclude with next steps.
The city's BMR program was originally adopted in 1999 and underwent its first major update in August of 2019.
The BMR program refers to inclusionary units that are integrated within market rate developments, not projects that are 100% affordable housing.
Some key components of the BMR program include any residential project that creates seven or more units must include onsite BMR units.
Projects less than seven units are subject to a fractional in lieu fee.
BMR units are set at different area median income, also known as AMI levels, and are required to be comparable to market rate units, and BMR units remain affordable in perpetuity.
Under the program, developers may pursue an alternative means of compliance, also referred to as alternative compliance, in place of providing onsite BMR units.
For existing BMR tenants, the maximum allowable rent increase is capped at 3%.
The city's housing element program 1.9 requires two reviews of the BMR program.
The first review was completed in December 2023, consistent with the required deadline.
The next review will be completed in 2028.
The December 2023 review included the five evaluation criteria in the housing element as outlined on the screen.
