In the event that a sponsor elects to satisfy its child-care requirement under Sections 414.5, 414.6, 414.7 or 414.9 by providing an on-site or near-site child-care facility, or under Section 414.10 by agreement with a non-profit organization, the sponsor, or in the case of a facility created pursuant to Section 414.10 the non-profit organization, may apply to the Department to eliminate the facility or to reduce the floor area of the facility in any amount, providing, however, that the gross floor area of a reduced facility is at least 2,000 square feet. The Department shall schedule a public hearing on any such application before the Commission and provide notice pursuant to Section 306.3(a) of this Code at least two months prior to the hearing. The application may be granted only where the sponsor has demonstrated that there is insufficient demand for the amount of floor area then devoted to the on-site or near-site child-care facility. The actual reduction in floor area or elimination of the child-care facility shall not be permitted in any case until six months after the application is granted. Such application may be made only five years or more after the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the project. Prior to the reduction in floor area or elimination of the child care facility, the sponsor shall pay an in-lieu fee to the Development Fee Collection Unit at DBI to be computed as follows:
(20 - No. of years since issuance of first construction document or first certificate of occupancy, whichever applies) | × | Net reduction gross sq. ft. child-care facility | × $100 | = | Total Fee |
20 |
Upon payment of the fee in full to the Development Fee Collection Unit and upon request of the sponsor, Development Fee Collection Unit shall issue a certification that the fee has been paid. The sponsor shall present such certification to the Director prior to the reduction in the floor area or elimination of the child care facility.

The child care provider operating any child care facility pursuant to Sections 414.5, 414.6, 414.7 or 414.9 shall reserve at least 10 percent of the maximum capacity of the child care facility as determined by the license for the facility issued by the California Department of Social Services to be affordable to children of households of low income. The Department shall adopt rules and regulations to determine the rates to be charged to such households at the same time and following the procedures for the adoption of rules and regulations under Section 414.14.

There is hereby established a separate fund set aside for a special purpose called the Child Care Capital Fund ("Fund"). All monies contributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 414.1 et seq., and all other monies from the City's General Fund or from contributions from third parties designated for the fund shall be deposited in the Fund. All monies in the fund shall be used solely to increase and/or improve the supply of child care facilities affordable to households of low and moderate income; except that monies from the fund shall be used by the Director to fund in a timely manner any nexus study required to demonstrate the relationship between commercial development projects and child care demand as described in Section 414.1. The Fund shall be administered by the Director, who shall adopt rules and regulations governing the disposition of the Fund which are consistent with Section 414.1 et seq. Such rules and regulations shall be subject to approval by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.

If the Commission determines after review of an empirical study that the formulae set forth in Sections 414.5 through 414.9 impose a greater requirement for child care facilities than is necessary to provide child care for the number of employees attracted to office and hotel development projects subject to Section 414.1 et seq., the Commission shall, within three years of making such determination, refund that portion of any fee paid or permit a reduction of the space dedicated for child care by a sponsor consistent with the conclusions of such study. The Commission shall adjust any sponsor's requirement and the formulae set forth in Sections 414.5 through 414.9 so that the amount of the exaction is set at the level necessary to provide child care for the employees attracted to office and hotel development projects subject to Section 414.1 et seq.
