ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
The California Environmental Quality Act provides an exemption for this project under section 15305,
Minor Alterations in Land use Limitations.
Z 06-01 2 1/24/2006
BACKGROUND
In December 2005, South County Housing processed a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to section
50.62 (b) (3) to allow flexibility in the number of units exempted for non -profit developers [Ref: Z 05 -151.
Motions to approve and deny this application failed; therefore, the City Council took no action on this
project. During deliberations, the City council expressed the following concerns about the proposed
Zoning Ordinance text amendment:
-0 The Ordinance amendment appears to primarily benefit South County Housing;
4 The Ordinance amendment could potentially allow large clusters of affordable housing units,
contrary to Council direction; and
The Ordinance amendment could potentially allow for -profit developers to form non -profit
corporations and process applications under this exemption.
South County Housing has submitted the current Zoning Ordinance text amendment to address the
concerns raised by the City Council.

consistent with the "Neighborhood District Policy." Projects requesting residential
allocation under this exemption shall be specifically approved by the City Council, with
such approval or disapproval at the sole discretion of the Council., Such projects may not
be immediately adjacent to another project exempted under subsection (3) or (4) of this Section
within the previous (3) years except where the City Council approves a specific exemption.
Z 06-01 4 1/24/2006
Staff Analysis
The City Council originally adopted Zoning Ordinance section 50.62 (b) (3) due to concerns that
developers were clustering affordable rental housing in concentrated geographic areas. The Council
intended this section of the Zoning Ordinance to allow development of large -scale affordable projects, as
long as they consisted of diverse housing types and density. As written, this ordinance section precludes
affordable housing developments that do not exactly adhere to its requirements and restricts creativity in
project design.
The following analysis describes how the applicant has addressed the concerns previously expressed by
the City Council:
-> Concern: The Ordinance amendment appears to primarily benefit South County Housing
Applicant's Response: Any non - profit developer could benefit from this exemption.
4 Concern: The Ordinance amendment could potentially allow large clusters of affordable housing
units, contrary to Council direction;
Applicant's Response: The applicant proposes changing this exemption to 75 units. The City
Council could make exceptions to this unit cap on a case- by-case basis, at their discretion. All
developments granted more than 75 units would be submitted as a Master Plan or Specific Plan
and would have to be consistent with the "Neighborhood District Policy." Note also that the
applicant proposes removing the restriction that limits developments to a maximum of 75 units of
each housing type.
Concern: The Ordinance amendment could potentially allow for - profit developers to form non-
profit corporations and process applications under this exemption.
Applicant's Response: The applicant has proposed narrow language that would restrict this
exemption to non - profit developers. Specifically, beneficiaries of this exemption must be a
organizations funded by federal, state or local government, defined as "1) organizations that
receive annual operating grants in excess of $100,000 from government sources, including
government chartered intermediaries, 2) organizations operating under the Single Audit Act, as
defined by Office of Management and Budget Circular A -133, or 3) organizations that qualify as a
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), as defined by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development." The City's Housing and Community
Development staff has reviewed this language, and confirms that this definition will restrict this
exemption to non -profit developers.
The proposed text amendment will facilitate construction of affordable housing by reducing regulatory
barriers, and is therefore consistent with the intent of the City's Housing Element.

CONFORMANCE OF REQUEST WITH GENERAL PLAN:
The proposed project conforms to the land use designation for the property on the General Plan map, and is
consistent with the intent of the text of the General Plan document, particularly the Housing Element portion.
ENVIRONMENTAL UVIPACTS•
This application examines the proposed project's consistency with the City's Residential Development
Ordinance exemption process; it does not result in granting any entitlements for residential development.
Therefore, the City's action on this application does not constitute "approval of a Project" for purposes of
CEQA review. The City will require CEQA review if the applicant receives approval of this Small Project
Exemption, and submits subsequent applications to develop this property.
OVERVIEW OF THE RANCHO DEL SOL PROJECT:
The Rancho del Sol project, a master - planned residential community, will have the following components:
► 260 Homes
► Commercial Component
• 23 live/work units (living portion is included in the residential tally for condominium/loft units)
► Private Open Space Areas
ANALYSIS OF REOUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval of an Affordable Housing Exemption from the RDO under the provisions
of Zoning Ordinance section 50.62 (b) (3), to allow the construction of 260 affordable housing units, as
follows (see Exhibit A for details):
• 66 Market Rate Homes
61 single-family homes ($750,000 - $825,000)
n 5 condominiums lofts ($695,000)
• 104 Affordable Homes
104 single-family homes ($250,000- $525,000)
• 90 Condominiums or lofts
67 condominiums ($225,000-$400, 000)
23 lofts ($205,000 - $250,000)
AHE 06 -01 3 1/24/06
Zoning Ordinance section 50.62 (b) (3) governs affordable housing developments that are constructed by
agencies that receive government funding. Under this section, up to 75 units within each of the following
categories of housing may be exempted from the City's Residential Development competition process: (a)
single family homes, (b) condominiums or townhouse ownership units or (c) rental units. [Note: South
County Housing is currently processing a Zoning Ordinance text amendment (see Z 06-01) that will provide
flexibility in the number of units an applicant may propose for an exemption. This Affordable Housing
Exemption request cannot be approved as proposed unless the City Council approves Z 06-01.]
\,s stated in section 50.62 (b) (3), the City Council may grant RDO exemptions for affordable housing projects
if the project is determined to meet specific criteria. This Zoning Ordinance section states that the City
Council shall consider the following elements in determining whether to grant this exemption:
a. The number of exempt units which have already been granted during the current RDO
cycle, and the number of years left in the cycle;
b. The affordability of the project;
C. The need for the types of units which are proposed;
d. The number of affordable housing projects constructed or proposed within the project
vicinity;
e. The diversity of unit type and architectural styles which are proposed in the entire
development; and
f. The site design and proposed building elevations.
Staff s determination of this project's consistency with these exemption criteria follows:
A. The number of exempt units which have already been granted during the current RDO cycle, and
the number of years left in the cycle
The City Council allocated 530 affordable housing units in the 2004 -2013 RDO cycle (see Exhibit B).
Applications have been submitted for 436 of these units. If the City Council awards 260 units to South
County Housing for the Rancho del Sol project, only ninety-four (94) affordable housing units will be
available for the eight years remaining in the RDO cycle. The City Council has not set a policy
restricting allocation of affordable housing units. Therefore, Staff believes this project is Consistent
with this criterion.
B. The affordability of the project
The sales prices of the homes in this development are delineated in Exhibit A. As proposed, the
development will meet the full spectrum of incomes, from very low to market rate. However, the
percentage of units at each income level differs from the percentages listed in the City's "RDO
Affordable Housing Exemption Procedure." The following chart compares the applicant's proposal
with the City's policy:

The applicant proposes to sell 25 % of the units at market rate prices, which is not a part of the price range
included within the "RDO Affordable Housing Exemption Procedure." In addition, the applicant proposes
far fewer units in the "50 to 60 %" and "60 to 100 %" categories than the policy's standard. The applicant
provides the following rationale for proposing prices do not strictly comply with the ranges set forth in the
"RDO Affordable Housing Exemption Procedure ":
► South County Housing needs market -rate units to provide the deep subsidies needed to construct the
very low- income units, which is an affordability level the City does not require developers to meet;
and
► Providing homes at all levels of affordability will create a mixed- income community that is likely
more sustainable than a strictly low- income neighborhood.
► The market -rate units will offset the cost of amenities, such as private parks and a bridge to the
future City park.
AHE 06-01 5 1/24/06
The City's Housing & Community Development (HCD) staff has reviewed the proposed price structure
and determined that the approach to providing affordable ownership units to a wide range of lower income
households is appropriate, because fifty -two percent of the units are affordable (defined as being below
eighty percent of median income).
The City's policy does not address the issue of providing market -rate units in exchange for providing very-
low income units. However, because of the large number of affordable units in this geographic area, staff
believes that allowing market -rate units in this development will create a more sustainable project (see
criterion D for discussion of this issue).
Staff believes this project is Marginally Consistent with this criterion.
C. The need for the types of units which are proposed
The City's Housing Element has documented the need for very low, low, and moderate income housing.
Staff believes this project is Consistent with this criterion.
D. The number of affordable housing projects constructed or proposed within the project vicinity
The following affordable projects have been constructed in the vicinity of this project:
► Sobrato Transitional Center: 140 -bed homeless shelter and 60 transitional apartment units
(Monterey Road north of Farrell Avenue; Developer. South County Housing)
► Alderwood: 60 low- income single - family homes [Note: 17 of these homes have been sold, and
are now market rate.]
(South of Farrell Avenue, between Church Street and Monterey Road; Developer: South County
Housing)
► Gilroy Garden Apartments: 74 low- income apartment units
(South of Farrell Avenue, east of Wren Avenue; Developer: CBM Group)
► Gilroy Park Apartments: 74 low- income apartment units
(East of Wren Avenue, South of Farrell Avenue; Developer: CBM Group)
As this list shows, there are 251 affordable housing units and a homeless shelter constructed or proposed
near this site. If this exemption request is approved, there will be 445 very low to moderate income
housing units and a homeless shelter constructed within an approximate 1/2 mile area Although this could
be considered an over - concentration of affordable housing units, there are some factors that may mitigate
the impacts of these units:
There are four distinct types of units that will be constructed in this area (rental apartment units,
owner - occupied single family homes, owner - occupied condominium units, and transitional
housing units).
Ql' Taken as a whole, the housing projects in this 1/2 mile area are affordable to Very Low, Low,
Median, Moderate, and Market -Rate income groups. Because these projects are affordable to a
mixture of incomes, people of various incomes and backgrounds are living together. In the long
term, this creates more sustainable neighborhoods, and better planned communities.
AHE 06-01 6 1/24/06
13" This property is planned for a Neighborhood District development, and will be denser than
traditional single - family neighborhoods, regardless of whether the units are targeted toward
affordable households.
v- There are 66 market rate units proposed for this project.
Iv" Seventeen of the units constructed as affordable units in the Alderwood projects have transitioned
to market -rate units, and others will likely transition to market rate in the future.
Therefore, considering these mitigating factors, Staff believes this project is Marginally Consistent with
this criterion.
E. The diversity of unit type and architectural styles which are proposed in the entire development
There will be several different housing types within the Rancho del Sol project. These are:
Single - family market -rate homes
Single family median and below - market -rate homes
Single family low - income homes
Condominiums
Uve/Work units
In addition, South County Housing has worked to create a wide mix of different architectural designs in
this development, which will add architectural interest to the street (see attached elevations). Staff
believes this project is Consistent with this criterion.
F. The site design and proposed building elevations
The applicant has submitted a preliminary site plan. Following is an analysis of the site plan's strengths,
and some of the project's issues and concerns.
Project Strengths:
Staff evaluated this application and determined that the project has the following strengths:
► The project proposes mixed - income, mixed- density development.
► The project appears generally consistent, in terms of design and density, with City standards.
► The developer has proposed to locate the multi- family housing away from established single -
family neighborhoods.
Issues & Concerns:
Staff has the following concerns with this project:
► Staff will need to determine whether the project meets Neighborhood District Standards
► The developer will need to locate the bridge across the channel so that it does not directly abut
residential properties.
Il• 1
7 1/24/06
► This project proposes a higher density than anticipated in the City's water, sewer and storm
master plans. The developer will need to pay for the City's consultant to prepare supplemental
studies, which could require on -site water detention.
Prior To Development, The Applicant Will Be Required to:
#1. Complete a CEQA environmental review
#2. Complete a Tentative Map to subdivide the property
#3. Complete a Master Plan and Architectural & Site Review through the PUD process
Staff believes this project is Consistent with this criterion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This p%iect is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance criteria for exempting affordable housing
units, and recommends that the Plannine Commission forward a recommendation of
APPROVAL of this request to the City Council. H this proiect is approved, staff recommends
that the following conditions be applied to this approval:
Approval of this application is contingent upon City Council approval of Z 06 -01.
2. The developer shall sign a contract agreeing to the provisions contained within the "RDO
Affordable Housing Exemption Procedure," prior to approval of an Architectural and Site review
for this site.
3. The Applicant shall obtain approval of a Tentative Map, Final Map, and PUD Architectural &
Site Review.
4. Time Limits for Approval: If the approvals set forth in condition 3 above have not been obtained
within two (2) years from the date of this AHE approval, then this AHE approval shall be
automatically revoked without further action by the City. Upon application prior to the expiration
of this AHE approval and for good cause shown, the Planning Division Manager may grant an
extension of time not to exceed one year.
