Update local density bonus law to match new state requirements
In Plain English
California recently changed its statewide density bonus law, which allows developers to build more housing units than normally permitted in exchange for including affordable units. Richmond's current local rules don't match the updated state law. If approved, the city's regulations align with state requirements for these housing incentives.
