Overview
This bill modifies the Density Bonus Law to ensure that incentives and concessions offered to developers building affordable housing include labor standards. Specifically, it excludes reductions in site development standards, zoning code modifications, and other regulatory incentives that incorporate labor standards from the definition of ‘incentives or concessions.’ The bill also updates posting requirements for local agencies to include examples of junior accessory dwelling units and housing developments ministerially approved, and clarifies provisions related to replacement units for existing affordable housing.
