Author: Catherine S. Blakespear

Summary
SB 92, as amended, Blakespear. Housing development: density bonuses. Existing law, commonly referred to as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city or county to provide a developer that proposes a housing development, as defined, within the city or county with a density bonus, other incentives or concessions, and waivers or reductions of development standards, as specified, if the developer agrees to construct specified percentages of units for lower income households or very low income households, and meets other requirements.This bill would specify that certain provisions of the Density Bonus Law do not require a city, county, or city and county to approve, grant a concession or incentive requiring approval of, or waive or reduce development standards otherwise applicable to, transient lodging as part of a housing development, except as specified. The bill would also specify that a city, county, or city and county is authorized, but not required, to provide concessions or incentives or waivers or reductions of development standards allowing for an increase in floor area to apply to the nonresidential portion, or specified parking, of a housing development.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
