The purpose and intent of this chapter, which shall be known as "the County of Santa
Barbara Inclusionary Housing Ordinance," are the following:
1.
To increase the supply of affordable housing units by requiring specified types of
discretionary residential projects to provide a portion of the development as price
restricted affordable housing units;
2.
To retain the long term affordability of these affordable housing units within the
county; and
3.
To implement policies of the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan to:
a.
Enhance the diversity, quantity, and quality of the housing supply;
b.
Promote new housing opportunities adjacent to employment centers, and the revitalization
of existing housing to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community, including
extremely low income households, while bolstering the County's rural heritage and
supporting each unincorporated community's unique character;
c.
Increase the effectiveness of the inclusionary housing program by establishing an
inclusionary housing ordinance.
