A Restricted Affordable Unit is defined for this section as a residential unit for which rental or mortgage amounts are restricted so as to be affordable to and occupied by Very Low, Low or Moderate Income households, as those income ranges are defined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) or any successor agency.
