A. Child care facility density bonus. When an applicant proposes to construct a housing development that is eligible for a density bonus under Section 17.28.040 of this Chapter and California Government Code Section 65917.5, and includes a child care facility that will be located on the premises or adjacent to the housing development, the City shall grant either:
1. An additional density bonus that is an amount of square feet of residential space that is equal to or greater than the square footage of the child care facility up to a combined maximum of 35% of the project square footage without the density bonus; or
2. An additional incentive that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the construction of the child care facility.
B. Child care facility requirements. The City shall require, as a condition of approval to the housing development, the following:
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 affordable units are required to remain affordable per this Chapter; and,
2. Of the children who attend the child care facility, the children of very low income households, lower income households or families of moderate income households shall equal a percentage that is equal to or greater than the percentage of affordable units in the housing development that are required for very low, low or families of moderate income households.
C. Child care facility criteria. The City shall not be required to provide a density bonus or incentive for a child care facility if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the community has adequate child care facilities.
