Article 7.14.4 Density Bonus for Affordable Housing 37 This presentation was made by Mary Scearbo. In summary this item was 38 presented to receive citizen comment on a proposal to provide incentives for the 39 development of housing affordable to low and moderate income families. The Report of the 40 Low - Moderate Income Housing Task Force, completed September, 1987, included a 41 recommendation to amend the Zoning Ordinance to increase incentives for new construction 42 of low and moderate- income housing. The proposed amendment provides such an incentive 43 by offering a density increase when affordable housing opportunities are created by a 44 developer. The density bonus provisions apply only to Planned Developments located 45 outside of a protected watershed, and could be applied in one of several ways: 46 1) A density increase of up to 25% if a percentage of the units or lots are sold or rented 47 to low or moderate income households. 48 2) A density increase of up to 25% if off -site land area is donated to Orange County for 49 future development of an equivalent number of affordable units. 50 3) A 50% density increase if all of the lots /units are reserved for qualifying households. 51 52 Occupancy would be restricted by a contractual agreement with the Orange County Department
