b. Two to three bedrooms: one and''/z onsite parking spaces.
(2) If the total number of parking spaces required for a development is other than a whole
number, the number shall be rounded up to the next whole number. For purposes of this

parking, but not through street parking.

Income Limits and Examples of Eligible Tenants for Affordable Homes
Very Low -Income Households are defined as households whose gross income does not exceed 50% of
area median income, adjusted for household size. Table 4 below shows the maximum income limits for
2024 determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the California
Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") for Very Low -Income households with
household sizes appropriate for the 1526 Placentia Avenue development:
Table 3
Maximum Income Limits

Income-2024
1 person
$55,250
2 person
$63,100
3 person
$71,050
4 person

Higher income limits apply to larger families; those families however are not considered to be a target
market for 1526 Placentia Avenue, where the unit mix for the affordable homes is anticipated to consist of
two -bedroom apartment homes.
The 1 affordable apartment that Developer will provide will be rented to eligible Very Low Income
Households. As shown in Table 3, Very Low Income Households includes incomes ranging from $63,100
per year for a two -person household to $78,900 per year for a four -person household. As such this could
include retail and food service industry employees, certain City employees, school district employees,
health care professionals, and other occupations which provide needed services to our community.

In order to provide opportunities to workers to live in one of the affordable homes, the City could provide
guidelines providing for acceptance of applications on a priority basis from classes of individuals who
qualify under the income limits in effect. The guidelines could provide for priority treatment for local
residents, City employees, employees of the local school district, and other categories identified by the
City for priority treatment.
Rental Rate Limits for Affordable Homes
The 1 Very Low -Income unit shall be rented at an affordable rent calculated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code. Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code
limits affordable rent to 30% of total income for a Very Low -Income household, as calculated in Table 5
below. That section also requires that the rent for a two -bedroom unit assumes a four -person household
for rent calculation purposes. The rents calculated are then adjusted by a utility allowance as determined
annually by the County of Orange Housing & Community Services Department. As of October 1, 2024,
the reduction for the utility allowance is $352.00 per month for a two -bedroom unit. The utility allowance
utilized assumes gas cooking, space heating, and water heating, as well as electricity, water, sewer,
refrigerator, and trash fees which will be paid by the tenant. The maximum rent levels for 2024 are shown
in Table 5 below:
