To help make constructing on -site affordable units <br />feasible, the law allows developers to seek up to five incentives/concessions and an <br />unlimited number of waivers or reductions in development standards. The <br />concessions/incentives are generally reductions in site development standards or <br />modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, and waivers <br />are essentially variances from development standards (a site or construction condition). <br />The first version of the Density Bonus Law was adopted in 1979 and has since been <br />amended at various times. In early 2017, the law was amended to restrict the ability of local <br />jurisdictions to require studies to "justify" the density bonus and requested <br />incentives/waivers and places the onus on local jurisdictions to prove that the <br />incentives/concessions or waivers are not financially warranted. <br />
