This Division is intended to implement state law requirements to provide housing opportunities for very low, low and moderate-income persons. All projects qualifying for a density bonus are subject to the city's growth management allocation procedures and requirements. In enacting this Division it is the city's intent to implement Cal. Gov't Code §§ 65915, et seq. as follows:
(A) Allow higher density for residential projects when developers guarantee that a portion of their housing development will be affordable to households of very low, low or moderate income and seniors;
(B) Allow higher density for residential projects when developers donate land to develop dwelling units for very low, low or moderate-income households;
(C) Ensure affordable units are constructed and located to appear similar to market-rate units;
(D) Allow higher density, incentives, or concessions for residential projects where developers provide child care facilities; and
(E) Allow certain concessions when needed to offset the costs of developing affordable housing for very low, low and moderate-income households.
