Summary

The bill amends the state’s Density Bonus Law so that developers who receive a density bonus must set aside a portion of for‑sale units for low‑ and moderate‑income buyers, and it creates equity‑sharing agreements to preserve affordability over time. It also clarifies application procedures, adds new incentives for land donations, childcare facilities, shared‑housing projects and transit‑adjacent sites, and sets specific percentage and duration requirements. The changes aim to increase the supply of affordable homes while giving local governments clear rules for granting bonuses.
