LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 915, as amended, Ting.
Planning and zoning: density bonus: affordable housing ordinances: City and County of San Francisco.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires, when an applicant proposes a housing development within the jurisdiction of a local government, that the city, county, or city and county provide the developer with a density bonus and other incentives or concessions for the production of lower income housing units or for the donation of land within the development if the developer, among other things, agrees to construct a specified percentage of units for very low, low-, or moderate-income households or qualifying residents.
This bill would require authorize the City and County of San Francisco, if it has adopted an ordinance requiring an affordable housing minimum
percentage for housing developments, to apply that ordinance to the total number of housing units in the development, including any additional housing units granted pursuant to these provisions, unless
the city and county exempts those additional housing units from the ordinance. after there has been an affirmative declaration made by the Department of Housing and Community Development that the affordable housing minimum percentage required is broadly feasible for density bonus projects, as provided. The bill would provide that it would not apply to an applicant seeking a density bonus for a proposed housing development if his or her application was submitted to, or processed by, the City and County of San Francisco before January 1, 2018.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City and County of San Francisco.
