Summary
Ninety-nine percent of developers pay the $2.50-per-square-foot in-lieu fee instead of building affordable units, and there's $2.5 million sitting in the account with no rules for using it. The council wants staff to formalize a housing trust fund to leverage matching state dollars and consider whether the fee should rise — while rejecting an affordable housing overlay.
