For the purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “Affordable residential housing” shall mean a purchase price or rental price that is affordable to a “moderate,” “low” or “very low” income household, as those terms are defined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, as applicable to Santa Clara County.
(b) “New development” shall mean, with respect to residential development, any development that creates additional residential units. “New development” shall not mean replacement of an existing residential unit.
“New development” shall mean, with respect to nonresidential development, any development that creates additional square footage. Where a development project includes replacement of existing square footage, the “new development” shall mean only the portion that constitutes additional square footage.
