Access to Transit (20 pts) Proximity to Amenities (20 pts) Public parks, employment and retail centers, public schools, social services, and senior services.

    20. 20 Guideline Proposal – Points

    21. 21 Per-Unit Grant Limit Chart Added an additional category for units which are 200%+ of the area’s Fair Market Rent (as defined by HUD) or which have projected sales prices exceeding those limits established by CalHFA. Decreased grant amount available to those units

    22. 22 Per-Unit Grant Limit Chart (x up to 1.52 density factor)

    23. 23 Guideline Proposals Section 302(g) and 303(a): Clarifies that a clear connection (nexus) must exist between the infrastructure (CIP) and the housing it supports Section 302(z), formerly 302(y): Clarifies the definition of Urban Uses to not include agricultural uses or land

    25. 25 Guideline Proposals Section 303(a)(3)(C): Clarifies the replacement housing requirements to meet the 15% affordability threshold Example: 100 unit project = 20 replacement units, at 50% AMI (statute prohibits these from meeting the affordability requirement) 15% of 100 = 15 units Total Requirement: 35 affordable units

    26. 26 Guideline Proposals Section 303(c) Clarifies the definition of “discrete development” Section 304(a)(5) Requires parking costs be comparable to like projects in the area.
