A.

The Housing Element of the Jurupa Valley General Plan has identified the need for affordable housing as one of the most significant housing problems in the city. It is the intent of the City Council in enacting the R-6 Zone to establish a specialized zone that will, through incentives and consideration of a specific housing proposal in connection with a proposed zone change, facilitate construction of affordable housing. Pursuant to the Housing Element, the density of a project shall be determined by the physical and service constraints of the parcel being considered, during the hearing process, and may exceed the density permitted for standard projects by the Land Use Element.

B.

The City Council finds and determines and declares that it is its intent that the R-6 Zone be used and applied in areas where basic services such as water, sewer, other utilities and adequate road circulation already exist or can be reasonably extended. The City Council further determines that the R-6 Zone shall be applied to a specific geographic area only in conjunction with an approved plan for development, including any necessary land division maps, site development permits or other approvals, as required by the city, and that applications for the R-6 Zone and related projects are to receive priority processing by all city departments involved in the review and issuance of permits for the development.

C.

The City Council further determines that when the R-6 Zone is applied to a specific area, it shall be used only for the construction of the project approved in connection with the granting of the zone classification, or for a project that is thereafter specifically approved by the City Council as an affordable housing project to replace the previously approved project. This requirement shall not prohibit the city from allowing nonsubstantial changes in an approved development plan that become necessary in the actual engineering of a project, provided that such changes shall not increase the density of an approved project.

D.

The provisions of this chapter shall apply in all R-6 Zones.
