City of Downey Goal 4: Remove Governmental Constraints Market and governmental factors pose constraints to the provision of adequate and affordable housing. These factors tend to disproportionately impact lower and moderate-income households due to their limited resources to absorb additional costs. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing and offers a streamlined permitting process to facilitate efficient entitlement and building permit processing. In addition to the density bonuses and flexible development standards already in place, the City proposes revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to encourage housing opportunities for extremely low-income households and special needs persons. Policy 4.1: Policy 4.2: Policy 4.3: Policy 4.4: Review development fees annually to ensure that fees and exactions do not unduly constrain the production and maintenance of housing. Provide for streamlined, timely, and coordinated processing of residential projects to minimize holding costs and encourage housing production. Utilize density bonuses, fee reductions, or other regulatory incentives to minimize the effect of governmental constraints. Utilize the Housing Authority as a tool to provide sites and assist in the development of affordable housing. Program 11 – Remove Development Constraints City Staff will periodically review the development standards for the residential zones to identify standards that may constrain the development of affordable housing and housing for special groups, such as disabled individuals. The City of Downey is flexible and is committed to working with developers to build affordable units, which may require modifications to constraining standards. The City will work with the developer through density bonuses or a PUD if necessary and will further review any standards identified in the Housing Element as a constraint and alter them as necessary to ensure that the development of affordable housing is feasible. In the interim, Staff will continue to, on a case by case basis, identify ways that standards can be relaxed if it is determined that such requirements are in any way impeding the development of affordable housing or housing for disabled residents. The City will also continue to provide 30 2014- 2021 Housing Element
City of Downey development standard modifications, streamlined processing for applications related to the creation of affordable housing, and will offer fee modifications for projects proposing affordable units that are required to apply for variations to the existing development standards. Incentives for extremely low income housing will be encouraged to prioritize the development of units for this income group. Program Objective: On an annual basis, the City will review development standards, to ensure that the development of lower income housing can occur. Revise the development code to address all constraints identified in Section 5 of the Housing Element. Staff will continue to use flexible development standards to facilitate the development of affordable housing through promotion of maximum development densities. Funding Source: General Fund Responsible Agency: Planning Time Frame: 2014-2021 Program 12 - Density Bonus To facilitate development, the City offers developers the opportunity of a Density Bonus Program which is a density increase of 35 percent plus development incentives for qualified affordable projects. To be eligible for the Program, the affordable project must contain: (1) at least 10 percent of the units reserved for low income households; or (2) at least 5 percent reserved for very low income households; or (3) at least 50 percent reserved for senior households. The units must remain affordable for at least 30 years if both the density bonus and development incentives are granted, and 10 years if only the density bonus is granted. Additional incentives are available with planned unit developments. Developers are informed of the Density Bonus Program through contact with Community Development Department staff members and handouts. Program Objective: Inform and encourage developers to utilize the density program by promoting the program on the City’s website and by offering Staff assistance at City Hall.
