CF 24-0147     AT CITY COUNCIL  04/26/2024

PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE relative to requesting the Department of City Planning (DCP) to prepare an ordinance that would establish density bonus incentives for large family units in multi-family buildings, and related matters.

Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Krekorian – Raman – et al.):

INSTRUCT the DCP to prepare and present an ordinance that would establish density bonus incentives for large family units in multi-family buildings, with the following provisions, in addition to any other concepts that would result in more family-sized units:

Exemption of the square footage of the third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms and third and fourth restrooms from the floor area calculations of large family units.

Allow for an additional story of height beyond existing zoning restrictions and bonuses for developments consisting primarily of large family units. The square footage of the additional story shall be limited to the total exempt square feet in the project.

Requirement for a 99-year covenant on the units utilizing this density bonus, ensuring that the units will maintain the same unit mix and bedroom count of large family units and be available to households at 120 percent of the Area Median Income.

This bonus will be additive to existing bonuses and Transit Oriented Communities provisions, and shall be an administrative signoff.

INSTRUCT the DCP to incorporate the above actions and incentives into the City’s Housing Element Rezoning Program.
