On page 12, after line 23, insert the following:

"(b) For the purposes of this subsection (5), "affordable housing" means residential housing with a monthly cost, including utilities other than telephone, that does not exceed 30 percent of the monthly income of a household whose income is no more than 80 percent of the median household income adjusted for household size, for the county where the household is located, as reported by the United States department of housing and urban development."

EFFECT: Requires a city to allow an additional 1.5 floor area ratio for any building within a station area in which all rental or owner-occupied units are affordable to households with a monthly income that does not exceed 80 percent of area median income, rather than 60 percent of area median income for all rental units and 80 percent of area median income for all owner-occupied units.
