Key provisions · Claude summary, not statute text

Allows a local agency, if permitted by local ordinance, to require affordability longer than 55 years for density bonus–qualifying units built under a local inclusionary requirement without low-income housing tax credits.

  • Longer affordability. If permitted by local ordinance, § 65915 does not prohibit a city or county from requiring an affordability period longer than 55 years for units that qualified for the density bonus and were developed under a local inclusionary ordinance, when financed without low-income housing tax credits.
