State Density Bonus Law (2021): SB 290, SB 728, AB 634 The local approving government has the burden of proof in defending the denial of a requested concession or incentive. These projects are not subject to an appeal. Density bonus ordinance: Density bonuses allow developers of market-rate housing to build higher-density housing, in exchange for having a certain portion of their units offered at affordable prices. New legislation that took effect on January 1 of this year provides for up to a 50% density bonus to be granted to housing projects consisting of a mix of affordable and market-rate homes, up from the previous maximum 35% density bonus for mixed income developments. Some local jurisdictions adopt implementation ordinances that modify or add to the requirements of density bonus law, and many jurisdictions fail to update their implementation ordinances when density bonus law is amended. Provides parking standards of one-half space per bedroom for housing developments which include at least 40% moderate income units that are located within a half mile of a major transit stop. . Department Memorandums 0000012326 00000 n The court found that a City of Los Angeles ordinance requiring density bonus applicants to submit information to show incentives and concessions are needed to make the project economically feasible was preempted by state density bonus law because the requirement was based on a former version of the law that has since been revised.
