Summary
The Planning and Zoning Law requires, when a developer of housing proposes a housing development within the jurisdiction of a 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 prohibits a city, county, or city and county from requiring a vehicular parking ratio for a housing development that meets these criteria in excess of specified ratios. This prohibition applies only at the request of the developer and specifies that the developer may request additional parking incentives or concessions. Notwithstanding these vehicular parking ratio requirements, existing law additionally prohibits, at the request of the developer, a city, county, or city and county from imposing a vehicular parking ratio in excess of specified ratios on a development that meets specified criteria, including that the development meets specified affordability criteria and is located within ½ mile of a major transit stop, as defined. This bill would delete these additional vehicular parking ratio provisions. Existing law specifies that the provisions relating to maximum vehicular parking ratios do not preclude a city, county, or city and county from reducing or eliminating a parking requirement for development projects of any type in any location. This bill would delete this specification. Existing law authorizes a city, county, or city and county to impose a higher vehicular parking ratio based on substantial evidence found in an areawide or jurisdictionwide parking study, as specified. Existing law requires that any higher vehicular parking ratio under this provision not exceed specified ratios. This bill would delete this limitation.
