Calimesa council introduces ordinance to add in‑lieu fee for inclusionary housing, sets proposed $3.40/sq ft The Calimesa City Council voted to introduce Ordinance 4‑18 to add an in‑lieu fee option to the city's inclusionary‑housing rules and adopted a resolution establishing a proposed fee of $3.40 per finished living square foot; council members said funds would be used only for affordable‑housing planning, site acquisition or construction and would not count toward state construction milestones until units are built.

Calimesa's new ordinance could change the game for affordable housing, allowing developers to pay an in-lieu fee instead of building units on-site.
