Article III — H Assisted Housing Combining District

The purpose of the Assisted Housing H Combining District is to increase the supply of housing affordable to low and moderate income households by means of the designation of sites for 100 percent affordable housing projects which are to be developed in accordance with the affordable housing policies of the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan. (Ord. 3432 § 1, 1983)

The Housing H Combining District shall be applied to those parcels designated as "assisted housing sites" in the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan. (Ord. 3432 § 1, 1983)

Applications for development projects comprised of 100 percent affordable housing shall be processed by the County on a priority basis. Applications for projects for other than 100 percent affordable housing shall be processed in accordance with the housing site review procedures of the County's housing development fund program guidelines. The County shall have 12 months from the date of application to decide whether to acquire the site for assisted housing. If the County decides not to acquire the property, the owner may proceed with development consistent with the land uses and densities indicated by the General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan; provided, that 35 percent of the units will be affordable. (Ord. 3432 § 1, 1983)
