Amendments to California's
State Density Bonus Law

The law outlined in Section 65915 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/face=
s/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=3D65915&lawCode=3DGOV) of the Cali=
fornia Government Code=2C also referred to as the State Density Bonus Law=
 "SDBL"=2C offers a comprehensive framework for promoting the construction=
 of affordable housing units through density bonuses. It provides guidelin=
es for calculating these bonuses based on factors like the percentage of a=
ffordable units within a development. While this law has been around since=
 1979=2C there have been significant amendments in the past few years that=
 are changing the way multifamily projects are designed and developed.

The SDBL was amended in 2020 by AB 2345=2C encouraging affordable housing=
 production by expanding the density bonus development incentives. In 2023=
 AB 1287 was signed into legislation to further incentivize housing produc=
tion by allowing an additional "layered" density bonus.

The amended law includes provisions for concessions and incentives=2C such=
 as height=2C stories=2C and FAR increases=2C to encourage developers to p=
articipate in affordable housing initiatives. Additional incentives are of=
fered for projects that incorporate childcare facilities=2C senior housing=
=2C and 100% affordable units. This legislation underscores a balanced app=
roach=2C aiming to incentivize affordable housing construction while consi=
dering public benefits. It's a crucial piece of regulation shaping archite=
cture and urban development in California.


** NEW AMENDMENTS TO THE STATE DENSITY BONUS LAW (https://leginfo.legislat=
ure.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=3D202120220AB1287)
------------------------------------------------------------

You can press on the link to read the full law. Here are some important co=
nsiderations and key takeaways: The AB 1287 amendments to the State Densit=
y Bonus Law require California cities and counties to allow developers to=
 seek an additional 'layered' density bonus for projects that have already=
 allocated the maximum amount of affordable housing units through an initi=
al density bonus.
* The additional 'layered' density bonus allows an additional 20% to 50% d=
ensity bonus of moderate income (80% to 120% of local area median income '=
AMI') or very low income ( 30% to 50% of AMI) units.
* In combination with the maximum 50% of the initial density bonus=2C a pr=
oject may now obtain up to a 100% density bonus when providing the require=
d percentage of affordable units.
* Before the adoption of AB 1287=2C projects that provided moderate-income=
 affordable units in exchange for a density bonus were required to offer t=
he units for-sale only. Moderate-income rental units are now an option for=
 developers under the amended SDBL.
* Like the initial density bonus=2C the additional density bonus is provid=
ed on a sliding scale. The additional density bonus ratios of affordable u=
nits and density percentages are more favorable to developers in compariso=
n to the initial density bonus.
* Additional concessions and incentives are awarded to developers when app=
lying the additional density bonus.
* The intent of the SDBL amendments are to allow developers to 'supersize'=
 a project in order to make the development economically feasible and "pen=
cil out=E2=80=9D in today's market of high interest rates and soaring cons=
truction and insurance costs.

Beyond Accessibility: Universal Design Standards
https://thekelsey.org/


** THE KELSEY STANDARDS  (https://thekelsey.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08=
/TKHousingDesignStandards_070522.pdf)
------------------------------------------------------------

In a remarkable trend gaining momentum=2C a growing number of clients are=
 embracing The Kelsey Standards for their architectural projects=2C transc=
ending the mere confines of accessibility code compliance. This movement h=
eralds a profound commitment to cultivating environments that embody true=
 inclusivity=2C prioritizing the diverse needs and perspectives of individ=
uals with disabilities.

The Inclusive Design Standards consist of over 300 Elements=2C which refle=
ct design operations and choices that include development strategies=2C bu=
ilding features=2C or operational policies that support accessibility and=
 inclusion. The Inclusive Design Standards organize elements by Design Cat=
egories=2C Impact Areas=2C and Additional Benefits.

According to The Kelsey website:

26% of people have a disability=2C yet it=E2=80=99s estimated that less th=
an 6% of the national housing supply is designed to be accessible. As hous=
ing communities are created=2C they don=E2=80=99t often meet the diverse a=
ccessibility and inclusion needs of people with disabilities. While code s=
ets the baseline for what=E2=80=99s required=2C no holistic guidelines def=
ine an implementable=2C progressive approach to creating truly accessible=
 and inclusive housing. The Inclusive Design Standards aim to equip design=
ers=2C builders=2C and developers with guidelines and frameworks for disab=
ility-forward housing creation.

Architects=2C designers=2C and developers alike are recognizing the transf=
ormative power of integrating these standards=2C not merely as obligatory=
 checkboxes=2C but as pivotal elements in crafting spaces that empower and=
 embrace every member of society. This progressive shift mirrors a broader=
 cultural awakening towards inclusivity=2C highlighting the pivotal role o=
f collaborative endeavors in shaping the future landscape of architecture=
 and design.

lifornia Government Code=2C also referred to as the State Density Bonus La=
w "SDBL"=2C offers a comprehensive framework for promoting the constructio=
n of affordable housing units through density bonuses. It provides guideli=
nes for calculating these bonuses based on factors like the percentage of=
 affordable units within a development. While this law has been around sin=
ce 1979=2C there have been significant amendments in the past few years th=
at are changing the way multifamily projects are designed and developed.<b=
r>
<br>
The SDBL was amended in 2020 by <strong>AB 2345</strong>=2C encouraging af=
fordable housing production by expanding the density bonus development inc=
entives. In 2023 <strong>AB 1287</strong> was signed into legislation to f=
urther incentivize housing production by allowing an additional "layered"=
 density bonus.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
The amended law includes provisions for concessions and incentives=2C such=
 as height=2C stories=2C and FAR increases=2C&nbsp;to encourage developers=
 to participate in affordable housing initiatives. Additional incentives a=
re offered for projects that incorporate childcare facilities=2C senior ho=
using=2C and 100% affordable units. This legislation underscores a balance=
d approach=2C aiming to incentivize affordable housing construction while=
 considering public benefits. It's a crucial piece of regulation shaping a=
rchitecture and urban development in California.</p>

ust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;">You can press on=
 the link to read the full law. Here are some important considerations and=
 key takeaways:&nbsp;The <strong>AB 1287</strong> amendments to the State=
 Density Bonus Law require California cities and counties to allow develop=
ers to seek an <strong>additional 'layered' density bonus</strong> for pro=
jects that have already allocated the maximum amount of affordable housing=
 units through an initial density bonus.</p>

<ul>
=09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-=
webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">The additional 'layered' density bonus all=
ows an <strong>additional 20% to 50% density bonus </strong>of moderate in=
come (80% to 120% of local area median income 'AMI') or very low income (=
 30% to 50% of AMI) units.</li>
=09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-=
webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">In combination with the maximum 50% of the=
 initial density bonus=2C a project may now obtain <strong>up to a 100% de=
nsity bonus </strong>when providing the required percentage of affordable=
 units.</li>
=09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-=
webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Before the adoption of AB 1287=2C projects=
 that provided moderate-income affordable units in exchange for a density=
 bonus were required to offer the units for-sale only. <strong>Moderate-in=
come rental units</strong> are now an option for developers under the amen=
ded SDBL.</li>
=09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-=
webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Like the initial density bonus=2C the addi=
tional density bonus is provided on a sliding scale. The additional densit=
y bonus ratios of affordable units and density percentages are more favora=
ble to developers in comparison to the initial density bonus.</li>
=09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-=
webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>Additional concessions and incenti=
ves</strong> are awarded to developers when applying the additional densit=
y bonus.</li>
=09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-=
webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">The intent of the SDBL amendments are to a=
llow developers to <strong>'supersize' a project </strong>in order to make=
 the development <strong>economically feasible</strong> and "pencil out=E2=

In a remarkable trend gaining momentum=2C a growing number of clients are=
 embracing The Kelsey Standards for their architectural projects=2C transc=
ending the mere confines of accessibility code compliance. This movement h=
eralds a profound commitment to cultivating environments that embody true=
 inclusivity=2C prioritizing the diverse needs and perspectives of individ=
uals with disabilities.<br>
<br>
The Inclusive Design Standards consist of over 300 Elements=2C which refle=
ct design operations and choices that include development strategies=2C bu=
ilding features=2C or operational policies that support accessibility and=
 inclusion. The Inclusive Design Standards organize elements by Design Cat=

 housing creation.</em><br>
<br>
Architects=2C designers=2C and developers alike are recognizing the transf=
