§ 24-131. Standards for affordable units.

All affordable units built under the provisions of this article shall meet the following requirements:

A.

Concurrency. Affordable units shall be built concurrently with market rate units unless the County and the applicant agree within the density bonus housing agreement to an alternative schedule for development.

B.

Location. Affordable units shall be built on-site wherever possible and, where practical, shall be dispersed within the housing development.

C.

Unit Size. The average number of bedrooms of the affordable units shall be equivalent or greater to the bedroom mix of the housing development's other units.

D.

Design. The design and appearance of the affordable units shall be compatible with the design of the housing development as a whole.

E.

Development Standards. Housing developments shall comply with all applicable development standards, except those that may be modified as permitted by this article.

F.

Linked Sites. Circumstances may arise in which the public interest would be served by allowing some or all of the affordable units associated with one (1) housing development to be produced and operated at an alternative development site. If the developer and the County agree to allow the production and operation of affordable units at an alternative site, the resulting linked developments shall be considered a single housing development for the purposes of this article.
