REGULAR BUSINESS ITEM 3 3. VOLUNTARY WORKFORCE HOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM ORDINANCE AND IN-LIEU FEE Ordinance No. 1491 was adopted in September of 2018 by adding Chapter 913 to the Tustin City Code entitled "Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program".

At its August 17, 2021 meeting, the City Council requested that staff return to the October 5, 2021 meeting for the Council to discuss potential policy direction options regarding the City's Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program Ordinance and In-Lieu Fee. During that meeting, it was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Lumbard and seconded by Council Member Gallagher to continue the item to the October 19, 2021 Council meeting. At the October 19, 2021 meeting, the item was continued again. Recommendation: Direct staff to do one of the following: 1 . Prepare a draft ordinance revision for Council consideration at a future meeting (and provide specific direction on what the revisions should/should not include); or 2. Prepare a draft temporary moratorium on the current ordinance for Council consideration at a future meeting (and clarify whether the City should continue to allow "up-zoning" to residential uses via the Residential Allocation Reservation process while the moratorium is in effect); or 3. Prepare a repeal of the current ordinance for council consideration at a future meeting; or 4. Take no action; or 5. Provide alternative direction at the pleasure of the City Council.
