A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
CALIFORNIA, SUSPENDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN -LIEU FEES FOR
CERTAIN TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THE

The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the results of an assessment initiated in 2022 of the Downtown
Commercial Core Specific Plan (DCCSP) and Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan (RHASP)
intended to align development regulations with current real estate market conditions were
presented to the City Council on December 5, 2023 and revealed that inclusionary housing
requirements may hinder development in these areas;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Tustin City Code (TCC) B9923, residential
developments within the DCCSP and RHASP areas must allocate a portion of units as
affordable housing;
WHEREAS, residential developments may provide five (5) or 10 percent of units as
affordable to Very -Low Income or Low -Income households, respectively, at which point an
affordable housing in -lieu fee must be paid; and
WHEREAS, to stimulate development and address findings from the 2022
assessment, a temporary suspension of affordable housing in -lieu fees is recommended
for residential projects located in the DCCSP and RHASP areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Tustin DOES HEREBY RESOLVE as
follows:
SECTION 1. This Resolution, while in effect, hereby suspends the affordable housing in -
lieu fee otherwise required pursuant to TCC B9923 for new residential developments in
the DCCSP and RHASP areas.
SECTION 2. This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") and determined to be exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code of Regs., title 14, Section 15061(b)(3)), as it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the
