This affordability will be governed by a regulatory agreement for the project and affordability covenants will be recorded against the project’s property. 2 Any requested incentive or concession will result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions based on appropriate financial analysis and documentation as described in Section 9512.22. The requested concession to develop 25% of the parking stalls as compact spaces helps bridge the project's affordability gap. If the City of Downey does not grant the requested concession, the project would have to provide another level of subterranean parking to satisfy required parking. However, a second level of subterranean parking is prohibitively expensive. Therefore, the absence of a concession will render the project infeasible WHEREAS, State Density Bonus Law 65915 requires that when a housing developer meets certain criteria for a density bonus, the local jurisdiction must grant regulatory concessions (unless the city makes a written finding that the concessions or incentives are not required in order to provide for affordable housing costs as defined by state law); and WHEREAS, the proposed project is requesting a regulatory concession: 1) permit the applicant to develop 25% of the project’s parking spaces as compact spaces instead of 15%, which ii the maximum permitted under the Downtown Specific Plan; and I NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. that the City Council of the City of Downey approves Density Bonus Application No. 09-72, an eleven (1 1) unit density bonus over the otherwise allowed density, for a total of 50 units at 96 units per acre, and one (1) concession for the View Housing, located at 8314 2nd Street, more specifically described as Assessor Parcel Numbers 6254-020-902 and 914 SECTION 2.
