Item 202 – California Coastal Commission Amendments to the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Regulations – On December 10, 2019, the City Council adopted the Inclusionary Affordable Housing regulations as amendments to the Municipal Code and Local Coastal Program.  State law requires the California Coastal Commission (CCC) to certify the code amendments to the Land Development Code before these can be effective in the Coastal Zone.  City and CCC staff worked collaboratively on three modifications which include an increase to the applicability of the program for projects in the Coastal Overlay Zone and changes to two types of off-site alternative compliance measures.
