Redondo Beach, CA Zoning Overlays & Bonuses: Density Bonus Law (2026)

2101 expressly defers to Government Code Section 65915, providing that state law controls whenever it conflicts with this article. What the City does control is the permit process. 2108. The application must include the project's gross acreage, total and affordable unit counts, the current and proposed general plan and zoning designations, a calculation of the density bonus claimed under state law, and a description of every concession, incentive, or development-standard waiver requested, with a detailed explanation of why the standard would otherwise physically preclude the project.

2106 then commits the City to grant the state-formula density bonus, any requested parking-ratio reduction under state law, and the specific concessions or incentives requested, unless the City makes the written findings Government Code Section 65915(d) allows, and to grant any requested development-standard waiver unless it would not actually enable the added density, would create a specific unmitigable health or safety impact, would harm a listed historical resource, or would conflict with state or federal law. 2107 gives any person 15 calendar days from the mailing of a Director or Planning Commission decision to file a written appeal with the City Clerk, stating the grounds for appeal and paying the applicable fee, with the City Council's decision on that appeal final.
