All residential development in the county consisting of six to ten units shall be subject to an inclusionary housing fee. All residential development in the county consisting of 11 or more units shall provide inclusionary units on-site or off-site, except that a fee may be paid in-lieu of providing fractional units and in other circumstances specified in § 21.03.008. Applicants may elect to substitute an in-lieu fee if the fraction is less than 0.7. All fractions of 0.7 or greater are required to round to the nearest whole number resulting in an additional unit. The size, design, and location of inclusionary units shall be consistent with a project-specific affordable housing plan, the county general plan, zoning ordinance, and other county ordinances and building standards. To satisfy the inclusionary requirement, the inclusionary housing type is not limited to single family units and based on the appropriate zoning can include mixed-use residential, townhome, duplex, and other housing types proposed by the affordable housing plan. Compliance may be accomplished by the applicant alone or in combination with others, including a non-profit housing corporation, as specified in §§ 21.03.006 and 21.03.007.
