American Canyon leaders will discuss on April 16, 2019, whether or not to reinstate the city's inclusionary percentage housing ordinance provisions applicable to rental residential developments. Since 2016, American Canyon has required rental developers to pay an affordable housing impact fee of $3.68 per sq. ft.. Under the proposed ordinance, developers of projects with five or more units would be required to provide 10 percent onsite as affordable, equally split between low-income and very low-income households. The draft ordinance allows developers to propose alternative compliance methods such as payment of the in-lieu fee or offsite units but they are subject to city approval.

The Richmond City Council is poised to join its West Contra Costa Transportation Authority partners and adopt an increase in the sub-regional traffic impact fee on April 16, 2019.

If adopted, the single-family rate will increase from $3,768 per unit to $5,439, while the multi-family fee will jump from $2,392 per unit to $2,679.
