Density Bonus Law

California’s “State Density Bonus Law” is intended to encourage the development of affordable housing options throughout the state by, among other things, giving residential and mixed-use developments that meet certain affordable housing requirements permission to exceed the otherwise maximum allowable number of residential units (a “density bonus”). Along with density bonuses, the law requires jurisdictions to grant concessions, incentives, and waivers to development applications meeting a minimum percentage of affordable units.
