Inclusionary requirement has always explicitly included Group Housing. But at many point, the Planning Department made an unofficial determination that Group Housing was not subject to the Inclusionary Housing Program. However, this determination was never formalized in a written Zoning Administrator determination, which could have been appealed to the board of appeals. Therefore, we only recently became aware of this unofficial policy. And recently developed and proposed a number of marketrate Group Housing projects that have brought to light the fact that the Planning Department is currently not requiring them to comply with Inclusionary Housing Program. So this ordinance clarifies that the Planning Department is to follow the original language of the Inclusionary Housing Program, and apply it to Group Housing. I believe we have staff, who are also here from the Planning Department to present. And i believe we also have some amendments that i believe you will be prepared to talk abou

I know at least one Group Housing project that was in the pipeline, when this legislation was introduced, converted to a more traditional apartment or condo building. They said it no longer penciled out for their financing and we lost a Group Housing project. I have heard from other Group Housing developers that it can pencil out. So i think its a little unclear here, but clearly having inclusionary Housing Ordinance apply to Group Housing does increase the costs of the projects. That is not to say that we shouldnt do it. I think the bmr program, our Inclusionary Housing Program is a very, very important one and one i support. What i would like to suggest, and after Public Comment i will make the motion to amend, that we have some additional flexibility in terms of ami. 50 of area Median Income and i
