§ 8116-3.2. Types of incentives.

For the purposes of this Article, incentive means any of the following:

(a)

A reduction in site development standards or a modification of Zoning Code requirements or architectural design requirements that exceed the minimum building standards approved by the California Building Standards Commission as provided in Part 2.5 (commencing with section 18901) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code, including, but not limited to, a reduction in setback and square footage requirements and in the ratio of vehicular parking spaces that would otherwise be required that results in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. (Government Code Section 65915(k)(1).)

(b)

Approval of mixed use zoning in conjunction with the qualified housing development if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce the cost of the qualified housing development and if the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with the qualified housing development and the existing or planned development in the area where the proposed qualified housing development will be located. (Government Code Section 65915(k)(2).)

(c)

Other regulatory incentives proposed by the affordable housing developer or the County that result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. (Government Code Section 65915(k)(3).)

Nothing in this Section limits or requires the provision of direct financial incentives by the County for the qualified housing development, including the provision of publicly owned land, or the waiver of fees or dedication requirements. (Government Code Section 65915(I).)
