AMENDED IN CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY APRIL 07, 2026

(1) Existing law, commonly referred to as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city or county to grant a density bonus, other incentives or concessions, and waivers or reductions of development standards, as specified, to an applicant for a housing development when the applicant seeks a density bonus for the housing development, as specified, if the applicant agrees to construct, among other things, a specified percentage of units for very low income, lower income, or senior citizen housing, and meets other requirements.
This bill would, instead, require a city or county to grant a density bonus, other incentives or concessions, and waivers or reductions of development standards, as specified, to an applicant for a housing development when the applicant submits an application for a housing development that a city, county, or city and county determines meets specified criteria, including, among others, the housing development includes specified percentage of units for very low income, lower income, or senior citizen housing.
(2) Existing law defines various terms for the purposes of the Density Bonus Law, including, among others, moderate-income households, lower income households, and very low income households.
This bill would provide that the definition of moderate-income household includes lower income households, very low income households, and extremely low income households, as defined.
