Summary

The Planning and Zoning Law requires, when a developer of housing proposes a housing development within the jurisdiction of the local government, that the city, county, or city and county provide the developer with a density bonus and other incentives or concessions for the production of lower income housing units or the donation of land within the development if the developer, among other things, agrees to construct a specified percentage of units for very low, low-, or moderate-income households or qualifying residents. Existing law requires continued affordability for 30 years or longer, as specified, of all very low and low-income units that qualified an applicant for a density bonus. This bill instead would require continued affordability for 55 years or longer, as specified, of all very low and low-income rental units that qualified an applicant for a density bonus. This bill would also include very low and low-income persons among the initial occupants of for-sale units. This bill also would prohibit an applicant from receiving a density bonus unless the proposed housing development would, for units subject to certain affordability requirements that were occupied by qualifying persons on the date of application, provide at least the same number of units of equivalent size or type, or both, to be made available for rent at affordable housing costs to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same or lower income category as those households in occupancy. For those subject types of units that have been vacated or demolished at the time of application, this bill would condition a density bonus upon at least the same number of units of equivalent size or type, or both, as existed at the highpoint in the preceding 5 years being made available at affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same or lower income category as those persons and families in occupancy at that time, if known. Existing law also requires a city, county, or city and county to grant a density bonus or other incentives, as specified, when an applicant for approval to convert apartments to a condominium project agrees, among other things, to provide a specified percentage of units for low- or moderate-income persons and families or for lower income households, as defined. This bill also would prohibit an applicant from receiving a density bonus unless the proposed condominium project would replace the existing affordable units with at least the same number of affordable units of equivalent size or type, or both, and the proposed development, inclusive of the units replaced pursuant to the requirements described above, contains affordable units according to specified percentages or consists entirely of affordable units.
