§ 24-136. Housing with child care facilities.

A.

Additional Bonus or Incentive. A development project eligible for a density bonus or incentive that includes a child care facility as part of the project is entitled to one (1) of the following:

1.

An additional density bonus equal to the amount of square footage of the facility; or

2.

One (1) additional incentive that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the child care facility.

B.

Conditions. The County shall require, as a condition of approving a housing development with a child care facility, that the following occur:

1.

The child care facility shall remain in operation for a period of time that is as long as or longer than the period of time during which the density bonus units are required to remain affordable.

2.

Of the children who attend the child care facility, the percentage of children who reside in affordable units shall equal or exceed the percentage of dwelling units that are available for very low-income, low-income, or moderate-income households.

C.

Basis for Denial. The County is not required to provide a density bonus or incentive for a child care facility if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the vicinity of the proposed project is adequately served by existing child care facilities.
