MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD'F"PROJECT INITIAL STUDY C. POPULATION AND HOUSING The proposed project would be developed in an area currently used for agricultural operations. The proposed residential densities would be within the ranges allowed by the Master Plan. Seven separate housing types would be created, with lots ranging from 3,600 square feet to 7,500 square feet(see Table I1-2). In addition, about 60 second units are proposed on specified single-family lots(see Figure 2)which would be required to be constructed at the time that single-family home are constructed on such lots. The applicant estimates that upwards of 16 individual price points of housing and three to five rental prices would be provided within Neighborhood"F". These prices correlate to pricing assumptions used in the County's Affordable Housing Study as well as the Master Plan's projections of Mountain House employee income levels. Purchase prices are estimated to range from $158,000 to $300,000. Rents are estimated to range from $380 per month to $810 per month. These rental and sales prices would be affordable to those with annual incomes of$17,500 to $32,500 and over(for rentals) and$47,500 to $87,500 and over(sales units)per year. About 25 percent of the units would be affordable to very low and low-income households that require assistance. Ordinance 9-1270.7M of the County's Development Title addresses the Mountain House Housing Trust Fund(MHHTF)that shall be created by the County for the sole purpose of providing funding for affordable housing assistance in Mountain House. The MHHTF shall receive revenues generated by the Affordable Housing Impact Fee. To advise the Board of Supervisors in the administration of the MHHTF, the County established a Mountain House Housing Advisory Board. The Affordable Housing Impact Fee is based on the Affordable Housing Impact Fee Technical Report(AHFTR)and specifies the methodology for the fee computation. The fee itself consists of two components: a fee per dwelling unit square foot and a fee per lot square foot. The fee for each of these fee components is specified by a resolution adopted by the County and shall be revised in accordance with the provisions of the County's Affordable Housing Impact Fee Ordinance.
