The proposed Affordable Housing Plan for the Willowgrove development in Davis, California is advancing through city review, with the Social Services Commission set to consider its approval.
The proposed Village Farms PIP does not meet the requirements of Section 18.05.050 and does not provide the range of housing types and qualitative land use that the city would get under normal standards, and the proposed LEHC is not feasible to meet 100% -120% of median income.
Despite Davis’ strong inclusionary housing laws, a new staff report shows the city is still falling far short of its affordable housing goals due to rising costs, limited funding, and slow production.
The city of Davis is considering a revised affordable housing plan that will reduce the number of units by 21, but increase the number of bedrooms, resulting in a measurable loss of project-based income to the city and an increase in municipal usage costs.
The City of Davis Social Services Commission is considering the Village Farms Davis affordable housing plan, which includes a proposal to dedicate roughly half the amount of land normally mandated, and a package of alternative contributions to offset the reduction.
