Plain English

Section 19.02.010 of St. Charles Title 19 Inclusionary Housing establishes the overarching goal of the city's inclusionary housing program: to expand and preserve affordable housing opportunities within St. Charles. The provision accomplishes this by requiring that new residential developments either include a proportionate share of affordable units or contribute fees in lieu of building those units. This foundational statement of purpose and intent shapes how the rest of the ordinance is interpreted and applied.

For Property Managers

Under § 19.02.010, the city's inclusionary housing framework signals that developers and property owners bringing new residential projects forward in St. Charles will generally be expected to either incorporate affordable units into their developments or pay an in-lieu fee. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with the proportionate-share requirements early in the project planning process to account for these obligations in their financial and design decisions. Understanding this stated purpose can also help operators anticipate how city officials may interpret ambiguous provisions elsewhere in Title 19.

For Tenants

Section 19.02.010 reflects St. Charles's commitment to maintaining an adequate stock of affordable housing for residents, which forms the legal foundation for the protections and requirements found throughout Title 19. Tenants who believe a new development in their community has not met its affordable housing obligations under this framework may find it useful to contact the city's planning or housing department to understand how the inclusionary requirements were applied. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with St. Charles municipal code can also help residents understand how this stated purpose and intent may support broader housing access in the city.
