Planning Commission Meeting
7:00 p.m.
Please join us for a Planning Commission meeting on June 8 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom to preview and provide feedback on the proposed modifications to the City of Morgan Hill’s Affordable Housing Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO).
Members of the community that would like to participate in the meeting may do so by joining the virtual meeting at: https://bit.ly/PlanningCommissionMtg or by calling 669-900-9128, then enter the webinar ID#: 862 0324 6251.
The City of Morgan Hill is considering modifying its affordable housing inclusionary program to deepen the overall level of affordability of for-sale inclusionary units. The City’s inclusionary requirements are codified in Chapter 14.04 of the City’s municipal code. The City has retained Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) to evaluate:
- The additional financial cost to new for-sale residential projects to provide the proposed deeper levels of on-site affordable units; and,
- Changes to current in-lieu fee levels that would approximate the cost of providing the proposed deeper levels of on-site affordable units.
Below are links to the Keyser Marston & Associates report and presentation that summarizes the preliminary findings of the evaluation. It reflects the most recent 2021 income levels.
