§ 8116-3.1. Qualifications for incentives.

Subject to Section 8116-3.4, all of the following applicable requirements must be satisfied for an incentive(s) to be granted pursuant to Sections 8116-3.2 and 3.3:

(a)

The applicant for an incentive must qualify for a density bonus pursuant to Section 8116-2 (Government Code Section 65915(d)(1));

(b)

A specific written proposal for an incentive(s) must be submitted with the application for density bonus in accordance with Section 8116-7 (Government Code Section 65915(b)(1) and (d)(1));

(c)

If an incentive(s) pursuant to Section 8116-3.2(a) or (c) is sought, the applicant must establish that each requested incentive would result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions for the qualified housing development (Government Code Section 65915(k)(1) and (3));

(d)

If an incentive(s) pursuant to Section 8116-3.2(b) is sought, the applicant must establish that requirements of Section 8116-3.2(b) are met (Government Code Section 65915(k)(2)); and

(e)

If an additional incentive for a child care Facility is sought pursuant to Section 8116-3.3(d), the applicant must establish that requirements of Section 8116-3.3(d) are met (Government Code Section 65915(h)(1)(B)).

The granting of an incentive shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a General Plan amendment, local coastal plan amendment, zoning change, or other discretionary approval. (Government Code Section 65915(j).) An incentive is applicable only to the project for which it is granted. An applicant for an incentive may request a meeting with the Planning Director and, if requested, the Planning Director or designee will meet with the applicant to discuss the proposal. (Government Code Section 65915(d)(1).)
