Developments with opportunity housing units must meet the following objectives:
(a) Dispersion. Opportunity housing unit dispersion means the distribution of opportunity housing units throughout all areas of the city in order to avoid concentrations of only affordable housing and to encourage racial and economic integration. Opportunity housing units built pursuant to this chapter must meet all requirements of the city code and any additional requirements for units as specified in this chapter.
(b) Integration. Opportunity housing units in a housing development must be mixed with, and not clustered together or segregated in any way from market rate units in the housing development. Opportunity housing units in a housing development must be distributed across all unit sizes proposed in the housing development, including: efficiencies, one, two, and three or more bedroom units.
(c) Design. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, opportunity housing units must be comparable in construction quality and exterior design to the market rate units constructed as part of the development. For developments in which in-unit amenities are not included with all dwelling units, the in-unit amenities must be offered to opportunity housing units in a proportionate amount to market rate units.
(d) Phasing plan. If the development contains a phasing plan, the phasing plan must provide for the proportionate development of opportunity housing units concurrently with the market-rate units. The phasing plan must not provide that the opportunity housing units are the last built units in a development.
(e) Timing of construction. A certificate of occupancy for market rate units within the development must not be issued until a certificate of occupancy is issued for a proportionate amount of opportunity housing units within the development. In phased developments, opportunity housing units must be constructed and occupied in proportion to the number of units in each phase of the residential development.
