Staff has analyzed the proposed <br />of the project or impact the project, which exarclses its right under AB 744, and finds that <br />surrounding community? there is potential that the project and neighborhood may be <br />impacted by the reduced parking. The City has identified the <br />MEMU area for high-intensity, mixed use development in <br />order to reduce demands for parking and traffic impacts. <br />However, the MOM area is still in transition, and portions <br />including the project site have yet to redevelop and produce <br />the pedestrian -scale environment envisioned by the <br />document. To mitigate these impacts, staff has added a <br />condition or approve:[ requiring the developer to enter into an <br />agreement with p property within 500 foot of the project site <br />to provide additional guest and/or resident; parking during off- <br />peaktimes. <br />Density Bonus Agreement <br />The California Density Bonus Law applies to projects proposing five or more residential units and <br />giants density bonuses to those meeting certain requirements for affordability levels and types of <br />housing (family, veterans, etc.), Rental units in such developments that are designated "affordable" <br />must remain so for at least 55 years. For affordable senior housing projects, a developer may seek a <br />density bonus up to 20 percent frons base density, The City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance (1100), <br />last updated in 2015, augments the density bonus concept by allowing a developer to seek an. <br />additional 35 percent density bonus calculated from base density (SAMG Sec. 41-1904.1), A summary <br />of the proposed project's density calculation is provided in Table 4: Project Density Calculation. <br />Table 4: Project Density Calculation <br />Density or Bonus ( Allow d for�ect Proid!ed _. — <br />Base Density 1 285 units (3.17 acres x 90 unitsdacre 285 units <br />base density used as a standard for <br />developments In areas designated DC <br />by the General Plan Lend Use <br />Under the state's Density Bonus Law, a developer may seek incentives or waivers (sometimes called <br />concessions) to increase the viability of the proposed project. Revisions to the Density Bonus Law, as <br />recent as January 2017, allow developers to seek an unlimited number of waivers from development <br />standards insofar as such waivers are not detrimental to public health or safety, do not negatively <br />11�� EXHIBIT 2 <br />60A630 <br />
