Summary

Changes the requirements to qualify for a density bonus under the Density Bonus Law

The old scheme of the law required that 20% of the units be set at an affordable rent and that rent for the remaining units be at an amount consistent with the maximum rent levels for a housing development that receives an allocation of state or federal low-income housing tax credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC).
The new scheme all applies to 100% lower income developments, but requires the rent for the remaining units in the development be set at an amount consistent with the maximum rent levels for lower-income households, as those rents and incomes are determined by CTCAC.

Local government must award a height increase of 3 additional stories/33 ft in “a very low vehicle travel area” and is prohibited from imposing any maximum control on density in such an area and in designated counties.

The act defines a ‘very low vehicle travel area’ as a US Census Bureau-designated urbanized area where the existing residential development generates vehicle miles traveled per capita that is below 85 percent of either regional vehicle miles traveled per capita or city vehicle miles traveled per capita.

Prohibits local gov from imposing any “vehicular parking standards if a development is for a project where 100% of all units are for lower income households and meets defined criteria.
