Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee

“The City of Jurupa Valley adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance ("Ordinance") in 2022, adding Chapter 9.267. – Inclusionary Housing Requirement and Affordable Housing In-lieu Fee to Title 9 – Planning and Zoning of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code ("Code"). The purpose of the Ordinance is to encourage the development and availability of affordable housing by ensuring that the addition of affordable housing units is in proportion with the overall increase in new housing units.”

“Housing in-lieu fees collected by the City pursuant to the Ordinance will be deposited into an affordable housing trust fund maintained by the City for use in the site acquisition, development, rehabilitation, program administration, or preservation of affordable housing, either directly by the City or in partnership with a third-party affordable housing developer.”

“The Ordinance applies City-wide to all residential development, including mixed-use projects where the lots or units will be offered for sale or for rent effective September 17, 2022.”
