Bill > SB92

This bill amends California's Density Bonus Law to clarify and expand provisions related to housing development incentives. The bill defines "mixed-use developments" and specifies that local governments are not required to approve, grant concessions, or waive development standards for transient lodging (like hotels or motels) as part of housing developments. It provides more flexibility for cities and counties in granting density bonuses, allowing them to offer additional incentives for developments that include higher percentages of affordable housing units. The bill introduces new provisions for calculating density bonuses, particularly for projects with significant percentages of lower-income, very low-income, or moderate-income units. It also clarifies parking requirements for housing developments near major transit stops, allowing reduced parking ratios for projects with a certain percentage of affordable units. The legislation aims to incentivize the construction of affordable housing by offering developers increased density and other regulatory benefits in exchange for including affordable units in their projects. Additionally, the bill allows local governments to provide concessions or incentives for increasing floor area or parking for housing developments, though this is not mandatory.
