Consider recommendations regarding County Inclusionary Housing Ordinance - Affordable Housing Inclusionary Housing Requirements and In-Lieu Inclusionary Housing Fees Annual Updates, as follows:
a) Receive and file the "Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Update" memorandum providing the Board with an annual update and adjustments of the County's in-lieu inclusionary housing fees, pursuant to the recently adopted County of Santa Barbara Inclusionary Housing Ordinance No. 4855 with fees reflective of current market values, effective July 23, 2013;
b) Receive and file the "2013/2014 Annual Adjustment of Inclusionary Housing Requirements" memorandum, providing the Board with an annual update and adjustments of the County's inclusionary housing requirements; and
c) Determine that receipt and filing of annual updates and adjustments to Inclusionary Housing requirements and In-Lieu Inclusionary Housing Fees are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3), finding that the activities are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activities in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
