Of those units, 40% must be affordable to very low income households (translates to a very low income requirements of 6% of the total units). The units must remain affordable for the longest time feasible, but for not less than the period of the land use controls established in the Redevelopment Plan, which would be enforced through CC&R's and deed restrictions on the specific properties. In addition, Policy 1.4 of the Housing Element promotes dispersion and integration of housing for low and very low income families throughout a community as opposed to within a particular geographic area or neighborhood. Based upon 145 proposed units, 21 units would need to be identified as affordable to satisfy the requirements of Redevelopment Law. Of those 21 units, 13 units would need to be affordable for low and moderate income households and 8 units would need to be affordable for very low income households. The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) publishes figures which are the accepted standards to determine income eligibility requirements. 'Moderate income groups would be those households with incomes between 81% and 120% of area median; Low income groups between 51% and 80% of area median; and Very Low income groups below 50% of the area median. Based upon published HCD figures as of June 1994, the median income for a family of four in Orange County is $58,800. Based upon the median income, the affordable units would need to affordable to those households of four with the incomes as follows: Moderate Incgme (120% of median) $70,560 Low Income $47,040 (80% of median) Very Low Income $39,900 (50% of median) Renaissance Planned Community District Regulations 8 These HCD figures vary depending upon household size and are adjusted annually to reflect the change in median income over time.
