(A) No effect on other sites. Nothing in this Division 7C prevents all or partially affordable housing developments being developed on non-AHP and -AHD zoned sites pursuant to the applicable 2030 general plan and zoning designations, density bonus permit process, development standards, CEQA review, and applicable permitting procedures.
(B) Development standards. Nothing in this Division 7C shall be interpreted to require the city to waive or reduce development standards if the waiver or reduction would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined by Cal. Gov't Code, Section 65589.5(d)(2), upon health, safety, the physical environment, or any real property listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.
(C) Design. Nothing in this Division 7C shall be interpreted as authorizing or encouraging the development of affordable housing with lower quality design compared with market-rate projects. Affordable developments are held to the same building codes, landscape requirements, and exterior architectural standards as comparable and contemporaneous market-rate developments.
