Measure JJJ created the Transit Oriented Communities program (LAMC Section 12.22 A.31), offering four tiers of density, FAR, and parking bonuses for income-restricted projects within half a mile of a major transit stop.
Voters approved Measure JJJ in 2016, which directed the Department of City Planning to publish TOC Affordable Housing Incentive Guidelines under LAMC Section 12.22 A.31. The program assigns each parcel within one-half mile of a major transit stop to Tier 1 through Tier 4 based on bus and rail proximity. Tier 4 (within 750 feet of a Metro rail station or rapid-bus intersection) grants up to 80 percent density bonus, 55 percent FAR bonus, four base incentives, height bonuses, and substantially reduced parking minimums. Set-aside requirements scale by tier, ranging from 8 to 11 percent extremely-low-income units.
TOC projects that fail to record affordability covenants or that under-deliver income-restricted units face permit revocation, fines, and recapture of bonuses.
