STATE DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM: INDIVIDUALLY REQUESTED. (a) Purpose and Findings: This Section 206.6 details the review, analysis and approval process for any project seeking a density bonus that is consistent with State Law, Government Code Section 65915 et seq., but is not consistent with the pre-vetted menu of concessions, incentives or waivers, or other requirements established in Section 206.5 as analyzed by the Planning Department in coordination with David Baker and Seifel Consulting, and shall be known as the Individually Requested State Density Bonus Program. California State Density Bonus Law allows a housing developer to request parking ratios not to exceed the ratios set forth in Government Code Section 65915(p)(1), which may further be reduced as an incentive or concession. Because in most cases San Francisco regulates parking by dwelling unit as described in Article 1.5 of this Code, the minimum parking ratios set forth in the Government Code are greater than those allowed in San Francisco. Given that San Francisco’s parking ratios are already less than the State ratios, the City finds that the State’s minimum parking ratio requirement does not apply. (b) Applicability. A Housing Project that does not meet any one or more of the criteria of Section 206.5(b) under the Analyzed State Density Bonus Program, but meets the following requirements, may apply for a Development Bonus under this Section 206.6 as an “Individually Requested State Density Bonus Project” or “Individually Requested Project” if it meets all of the following criteria: (1) contains five or more residential units, as defined in Section 102;
