California density bonus law (Government Code 65915) requires Thousand Oaks to grant density increases and concessions to qualifying affordable housing projects, supplemented by AB 2334 and AB 1287 enhancements.
California Government Code 65915 mandates that cities grant density bonuses ranging from 20 to 100 percent above base zoning when projects include affordable units. Thousand Oaks must process applications administratively when statutory criteria are met. Concessions waive specific development standards like parking, height, or setbacks. AB 2334 extended bonuses for very low income projects in opportunity areas; AB 1287 added stacking for moderate-income units. The CDC implements these rules but cannot impose additional discretionary review beyond statutory limits. Projects integrate with Housing Element sites and RHNA targets.
Cities denying qualifying density bonus applications face Housing Accountability Act lawsuits, attorney fees, and HCD enforcement referral.
