Findings and Recommendations
3 findings
In-lieu fees, when offered as an option, are too low to produce the needed number of BMR units and delay their creation. Response: The City of Campbell agrees that in-lieu fees are generally too low to produce affordable housing units.
Related Recommendations (1)
Cities with an in-lieu option should raise the fee to at least 30% higher than the inclusionary BMR equivalent where supported by fee studies, Response: The City of Campbell partially agrees with recommendation 6, recognizing that raising fees is an option but finds that requiring a developer to build a unit is far superior than collecting in-lieu fees. Timeframe for implementation / further study: The City of Campbell participated in a multi-city effort with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation for the preparation of a nexus study and feasibility analysis. Campbell's nexus study was completed in August 2016 and presented to the City Council on October 4, 2016. The City Council accepted the methodology and findings of the Nexus Study, but determined to not proceed with housing impact fees without also considering all other impact fees and the potential impacts collectively. The City Council will consider a general discussion on impact fees within the next six months. Notably, Campbell's in-lieu fee is only permitted for low- density residential projects (six or fewer units per acre) with 10 or more market rate units.
NIMBY (Not in My Backyard) opposition adversely affects the supply of BMR housing units. Response: The City of Campbell agrees with finding 7.

A task force to communicate the value and importance of each city meeting its RHNA objectives for BMR housing should be created and funded by the County and all 15 cities, by June 30, 2019. Response: The City of Campbell agrees with recommendation 7 and supports educating the public and elected/appointed officials in this regard; however this finding would be better supported if it applied to all housing, not just BMR housing. . City of Campbell response to Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury Report Page <b>7</b> of <b>7</b> Timeframe for implementation / further study: The City of Campbell will consider joining a regional task force following an invitation from the County.
It is unnecessarily difficult to confirm how many BMR units are constructed in a particular year or RHNA cycle because cities and the County only report permitted units. Response: The City of Campbell agrees with finding 8 and supports a consistent reporting program.

All 15 cities and the County should annually publish the number of constructed BMR units, starting in April 2019. Response: See response to finding 8. Timeframe for implementation / further study: In January 2018, as requested by the California Department of Finance, the City submitted a Housing Unit Change Form identifying newly constructed units built in calendar year 2017. . ţ . . . . . . 4
