SUBJECT: Amendment to Bill 156, Proposed Draft 3
Attached for your consideration is an amendment to Bill 156, proposed Draft 3, relating to
affordable housing requirements, which adds additional language (in bold for clarification
purposes only) to chapter 11, article 1, section I1-4(d) as follows:
"(d) Requirements for industrial uses.
The industrial uses that must fulfill the affordable housing requirements are
any uses allowed as of right in an ML or MG district, except for home

district. [T^a~°~a°°' ~°a••°~-~°' °~•°-~w°°° Rezoninys to ML, MG,
or MCX with a potential to eng erate more than one hundred employees on a
full-time equivalent basis must earn one affordable housing credit for every
four full-time equivalent jobs created. At the time of rezoninv, the potential
iob veneration shall be assumed to be ten full-time equivalent iobs per acre
to determine whether subsequent development within the rezoned area must
satisfy an affordable housiny requirement. At the time of plan approval,
pursuant to section 11-9(bl, the affordable housinv requirement shall be
based upon ten full-time equivalent iobs per acre, or one per 1,000 square
feet of yross floor area, whichever is yreater, provided that the administrator,
after consultation with the nlanniny director, shall adiust the number of iobs

all or a portion of the lots created within the rezoned area, provided that in
that case the applicant shall be required to earn one affordable housine
credit for every ten full-time equivalent iobs created, based on ten full-time
equivalent iobs per acre.
When an applicant presents its plan for satisfying an affordable
housing requirement, it shall have an opportunity to demonstrate that
current economic and housing conditions in the region surrounding its
development do not warrant the imposition of the above-stated
generalized requirements. The administrator and County housing
agencv shall consider such conditions in determining whether lesser
requirements are warranted because of a lower demand created by that
particular development or because of sufficient supply in the area. The
administrator and County housing agencv shall also take into account
the extent to which the imposition of these reauirements on private
industrial developments and not upon exempted State industrial lands
that may create an unequal competitive situation for new development."
