(A) This subchapter provides requirements and incentives for the development of affordable housing units in conjunction with other residential and mixed-use projects and commercial projects in partnership with affordable housing providers as required under state law. These provisions are intended to implement General Plan policies encouraging the production of affordable housing for all economic groups, and housing for disabled and older residents, transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, and homeless persons, all of which is integrated, compatible with and complements adjacent uses, and is located near public and commercial services.
(B) The incentives offered in this chapter are used by the city as one means of meeting its commitment to encourage housing affordable to all economic groups, and to meet its regional fair share requirements for the construction and rehabilitation of housing affordable to very low, low, moderate, and above moderate-income persons.
(C) This subchapter shall be interpreted in a manner supplementary to and consistent with Cal. Gov't Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.3 §§ 65915 to 65918, as amended (State Density Bonus Law).
