So, now I want to talk about Builder's Remedy.
low-confidence
is one of many provisions of the Housing Accountability Act.
low-confidence
And the builder's remedy provisions apply to only qualifying housing development projects.
low-confidence
What are qualifying housing development projects?
low-confidence
These are projects for which a preliminary application was submitted to the city before it adopted a substantially compliant housing element.
low-confidence
And they are housing projects where at least 20% of the total units will be sold or rented to lower income individuals, or 100% of the units will be sold or rented to moderate income households.
low-confidence
The project you will be considering tonight does qualify
low-confidence
as a builder's remedy project.
low-confidence
The application was submitted before we adopted, so that's why we are here this evening considering this as a builder's remedy project.
low-confidence
And there's no dispute about that.
low-confidence
Let's talk about what does that mean now for your consideration?
low-confidence
What effect does builder's remedy law have on a local agency's decision-making authority?
low-confidence
Builder's Remedy Law limits a city's ability to deny qualifying housing development projects without making certain findings.
low-confidence
It limits a city's ability to condition approval of a qualifying housing development project in a manner that renders the project infeasible.
low-confidence
Infeasible for affordable housing development.
low-confidence
They've provided a definition of feasible.
low-confidence
Feasible means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors.
low-confidence
That's pretty vague.
low-confidence
So it's possible that there may be litigation over that.
low-confidence
It's pretty vague.
