As part of Vallejo’s commitment to expanding housing opportunities and promoting equitable development, the City is undertaking two complementary studies to support the production of affordable housing.
Inclusionary Housing and In-Lieu Fee Feasibility Study: This study will evaluate the feasibility of adopting an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance that would require a portion of new residential development to be set aside as affordable units. It will analyze local market conditions, development economics, and policy alternatives — including potential in-lieu fee options — to determine inclusionary requirements and fee structures that balance affordable housing goals with project feasibility.
Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study: This study will examine the relationship between new commercial development and the demand for affordable housing in Vallejo. By analyzing employment generation, wage levels, and the housing needs associated with commercial growth, the study will establish a legally defensible fee structure to ensure that economic development contributes to the City’s affordable housing goals.
