SUPPLEMENTAL 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2025-____ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN-LIEU FEE NEXUS STUDY FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENABLING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN-LIEU FEES WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark is committed to addressing the affordable housing needs of its residents and ensuring that housing is available for households of all income levels; and WHEREAS, the City desires to introduce Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees for new residential development that provides developers with the opportunity to meet the affordable housing requirements pursuant to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Ordinance No. 515). The establishment of the in-lieu fees offers developers the option to pay an in-lieu fee rather than providing deed-restricted affordable units as part of their development projects; and WHEREAS, the City retained Harris & Associates, Inc. to prepare an Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Nexus Study (the “Nexus Study”, Exhibit A) dated April 2024 to analyze the relationship between new residential development and the need for additional affordable housing and to determine the maximum justifiable in-lieu fees; and WHEREAS, the Nexus Study identifies the purpose of the in-lieu fees, the use to which the fees will be put, demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the development of new residential units and the impact on affordable housing demand . The Study also describes the relationship between new residential development and the fee amounts under assumptions that are consistent with the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the Nexus Study provides the documentation, detail, and other information required by AB 1505 as the basis for the adoption and imposition of the in- lieu fees; and WHEREAS, the proposed in-lieu fees are consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, which was adopted in February 2023, to provide opportunities for the development of adequate housing for all income levels; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the in-lieu fees established herein, and finds that the fees will mitigate the impact of an increase in affordable housing needed from the development of market -rate residential units. ATTACHMENT 2 Resolution No. 2025-____ Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. RECITALS. The findings and recitals set forth in this Resolution are true and correct, and are incorporated herein. SECTION 2. CEQA. The approval of the Nexus Study and the adoption of the in - lieu fees specified in this Resolution, was reviewed in accordance with the criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines. The City Council finds that approval of the Nexus Study and the adoption of the in-lieu fees specified in this Resolution will not have a significant impact on the environment and are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of State CEQA Guidelines because these actions involve the adoption of in-lieu fees and no specific development is authorized by the adoption of the Nexus Study or the adoption of new fees. No physical activity will occur until all required environmental review is conducted at the time the physical improvements are undertaken at a future unspecified date. Therefore, the approval of the Nexus Study and adoption of the in-lieu fees does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. SECTION 3. Approval of the Nexus Study. The City Council hereby approves the City of Moorpark Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Nexus Study prepared by Harris & Associates, Inc. and dated April 2024, and the findings contained therein, attached hereto as Exhibit A. A copy of the Nexus Study shall be on-file with the City Clerk and available during regular City business hours for public inspection. SECTION 4. Establishing the amount of the Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fees for new residential development projects subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. The City Council hereby adopts the in-lieu fees for (1) Single Family For-Sale Units, (2) Multifamily For-Sale Units, and (3) Multifamily For-Rent Units, in accordance with the Schedule of Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fees identified in Table A below and incorporated by this reference.
