Housing: Density Bonus for very low-income housing
Revises Density Bonus Law to increase the maximum allowable density and the number of concessions and incentives a developer can seek.
This law, among other provisions, would authorize an applicant to receive 3 incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 12% of the total units for very low-income households (i.e., those making less than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI)). It also revises the incentives for 2 to 3-bedroom units by decreasing the parking ratios that are required under current law. C.A.R. supported this measure as it promotes development and will help families aord to live within the communities in which they work.
Assembly Bill 2345 is codied as Government Code Sections 65400 and 65915.

Housing: Furthers the streamlined, ministerial approval process incumbent on local government for approval of development projects
Makes changes to the process for development projects approved by the streamlined, ministerial process created by SB 35 (Wiener), Chapter 366, Statutes of 2017. The change provides a path to modify approved development projects prior to the issuance of the 􏰀nal building permit required for construction, including provisions on how local governments must treat such an application for a modi􏰀cation.
Allows for qualied housing development projects to eectively utilize the streamlined approval process established by SB 35 (Wiener, 2017) a bill that C.A.R. supported to create a streamlined, ministerial approval process for inll developments in localities that have failed to meet their regional housing needs assessment numbers. This law requires that routine modications to an accepted development application be approved in a timely manner without resubmission, renes the permitting process for connecting the project to existing public infrastructure, and claries that the 2/3 residential requirement in SB 35 applies to the project itself, not the zoning for the site on which it is built.
