This memo describes the changes, clarifications, and additions to State Density Bonus Law, and will serve as interim guidance for staff and project applicants on the implementation of AB 2334, 1551, and 682 until the time the LAMC is updated to include these provisions, or this memo is otherwise superseded. Staff and interested parties are encouraged to refer to state law in Government Code Section 65915 for additional information, as the memo is not exhaustive. Further, this memorandum provides a summary of pertinent sections for reference purposes only and is not intended to conflict with State Law.
