(A) Owners and occupants of property subject to restrictions pursuant to this chapter shall permit county employees or others designated by the county to inspect the property in order to ensure compliance with restrictions on the property upon two business days’ advance written notice. Owners of property subject to restrictions pursuant to this chapter shall retain all records related to compliance with obligations under this chapter for a period not less than five years, and make such records available to county employees or others designated by the county for inspection and copying upon five business days’ advance written notice. The county shall be further entitled to monitor compliance on an annual basis with this chapter as provided in the Administrative Manual and documents executed with respect to any residential development and/or inclusionary unit.
(B) Homeowners will receive an annual monitoring notice from the county to confirm the owner occupancy requirement and prohibitions against rental of the dwelling.

For rental units, an annual monitoring notice from the county will be sent to all management agencies to confirm residents are eligible to affordable units.
(C) Periodic evaluation. Unless funding or staff is not available, the Director shall at five-year intervals, or more often at the director’s discretion, at Board request, and any time the County Housing Element is updated as required by state law, prepare and submit to the Board of Supervisors an evaluation of this chapter and its effects.
