That the proposed adjustment would not be detrimental to the neighborhood in which the property is located. D. That the proposed adjustment is consistent with the General Plan and the zoning and development standards of this chapter that pertain to the subject property. Section 4. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.26 (Residential Density) is hereby amended to read as follows: Sections: 18.26.010 Purpose 18.26.020 Incorporation of State Regulation 18.26.030 Definitions 18.26.040 Eligibility for Density Bonus 18.26.050 Application Requirements 18.26.060 Density Bonus Allowance 18.26.070 Incentives and Waiver/Modification of Development Standards 18.26.080 General Development Criteria 18.26.090 Required Findings 18.26.100 Affordable Housing Agreement Required 18.26.110 Administrative Fee 18.26.120 Violation of Affordable Housing Cost Requirements The purpose of this chapter is to provide incentives, consistent with State law, for the construction of housing units that are affordable to very -low, low-, and moderate -income households. A density bonus is an increase over the otherwise maximum residential density allowable under the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan. It provides developers an opportunity to increase the number of units within a proposed residential development in exchange for including within the project a specified number of units that are affordable to very low-, low-, or moderate -income persons and families. The density bonus provides a private market incentive to encourage the development of affordable housing in Redding. State law also allows the City to provide incentives other than, or in addition to, an increase in density if requested by an applicant. Accordingly, the purposes of this chapter are to: A. Establish procedures for allowing an increase in density above the maximum residential density allowed by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. B. Provide for flexibility in applying zoning regulations and development standards in order to facilitate the development of affordable housing. C. Provide incentives to developers to encourage the inclusion of affordable housing within residential projects. D. Implement the goals and policies of the General Plan relative to providing housing opportunities and meeting community housing needs. 18.26.020 Incorporation of State Regulations The density bonus provisions of California Government Code (CGC) Sections 65915-65918 (State Density Bonus Law), as may be amended from time to time, are incorporated by reference into this chapter. In instances where the provisions of State Density Bonus Law are more restrictive than this chapter, the City reserves the right to review applications for a density bonus in accordance with the aforementioned CGC Sections. Pursuant to state law, the granting of a density bonus or the granting of a density bonus together with an incentive(s) (e.g. concessions, waiver or modification of development standards) shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, or rezone. For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings and are in addition to the definitions contained in CGC 65915. A. "Affordable Housing Agreement" is defined as a legally binding agreement between a developer and the City to ensure that the density bonus requirements of this Chapter are satisfied. The agreement establishes the number and type of affordable units, affordability tenure, and the terms and conditions of affordability. B. "Density Bonus" is defined as an increase in density over the otherwise maximum allowable gross residential density under the applicable General Plan designation and/or zoning district as of the date of filing of a request for a density bonus with the City. If elected by the applicant, a density bonus also includes requests for a lesser percentage of density increase, including, but not limited to, no increase in density based on a request for approval only of development incentives or waiver/modification of development standards necessary to achieve project affordability for lower income individuals or families. C. "Development Standard" is defined as the site, development, or construction standards and/or conditions of approval that apply to a residential development. D. "Incentive" is defined as a reduction in any site development standard or a modification of Zoning Code requirements or architectural design requirements that exceed the minimum building standards approved by the California Building Standards Commission. One or more incentives can be requested by the applicant in accordance with Section 18.26.070. The term "incentive" includes the term "concession" as that term is used in California Government Code Section 65915(k)(1). E. "Waiver/Modification of Development Standards" is defined as eliminating or modifying a development standard that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a development at the density or with the incentive(s) permitted by this chapter. A developer of a housing development may qualify for a density bonus and/or at least one other incentive as provided by this chapter and CGC Section 65915. Density bonuses may be granted in the following circumstances: A. At least 5 percent of the units are restricted to very low-income households. B. At least 10 percent of the units are restricted to low-income households. C. At least 10 percent of the units in a for sale common interest development are restricted to moderate -income households, provided that all units in the development are offered to the public for purchase. callfornia Erili Barnhart Redding City Of 777 Cypress AVE Redding CA 96001-2718 STATE OF WISCONSIN, COUNTY OF BROWN The Record Searchlight, a newspaper published in the city Of Redding, Shasta County, State of California, and personal knowledge of the facts herein state and that the notice hereto annexed was Published in said newspapers in the issue: 10/30/2024 and that the fees charged are legaL Sworn to and subscribed before on 10/30/2024 e0al Clerk -- Notary.
