§ 1610-0060. CONCESSIONS OR INCENTIVES

In accordance with Government Code section 65915(h), concessions or incentives shall mean any of the following:

(a)

A reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements which exceed the minimum building standards approved by the State 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.

(b)

Approval of mixed use zoning in conjunction with the housing project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce the cost of the housing development and if the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with the housing project and existing or planned development in the area where the proposed housing project will be located. In the event of mixed use zoning approval, the project shall be appropriately conditioned to ensure that the housing project will be completed before, or concurrently with, any other use approved.

(c)

Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the county which result in identifiable cost reductions.

This subdivision does not limit or require the provision of direct financial incentives for the housing development, including the provision of publicly owned land by the county or the waiver of fees or dedication requirements.
