A concession may be a reduction in a site development standard, modification to a zoning code requirement or a modification to architectural design requirement that results in identifiable cost reductions. A waiver is for a standard that would physically preclude development from being built at the permitted density and with the granted concession/incentives. A development standard is defined in California Government Code Section 65915 as a site or construction condition, including, but not limited to, a height limitation, a setback requirement, FAR, an on -site open space requirement, or a parking ratio that applies to a residential development pursuant to any ordinance, general plan element, specific plan, charter or other local condition, law, policy, resolution or regulation.
