Sec. 26-155. - Design and quality.

(a)

The City may not issue building permits for more than fifty (50) percent of the market rate units until it has issued building permits for all the affordable units, and the City may not approve any final inspections or certificates of occupancy for more than fifty (50) percent of the market rate units until it has issued final inspections or certificates of occupancy for all the affordable units.

(b)

Affordable units shall be comparable in exterior appearance and overall quality of construction to market rate units in the same housing development. Interior finishes and amenities may differ from those provided in the market rate units, but neither the workmanship nor the products may be of substandard or inferior quality as determined by the City.

(c)

Affordable Units shall be built on site and shall be dispersed within the housing development. The number of bedrooms of the affordable units shall be equivalent to the bedroom mix of the non-affordable units of the housing development, except that the developer may include a higher proportion of affordable units with more bedrooms. The design and appearance of the affordable units shall be compatible with the design of the overall housing development.
