Sunnyvale BMR Requirements in Rental Projects
The City of Sunnyvale is processing significant changes in the Inclusionary Requirement on all rental projects over 6 units. Proposed rental inclusionary base requirements would force the builder to deed restrict at least 15% of units as affordable, subdivided as 10% low income and 5% very low income households.
