S.A. - Page 6 of 302 FIGURE 4 - AFFORDABLE MIX * includes 22 replacement studios The offsite units on Parcel F would serve as partially satisfying the commercial requirement (16 units) and would provide the required replacement units (22 units). It would also provide specialized housing for people with developmental disabilities for some of the units (approximately 25% or 10 units, based on demand). These 38 units are separated from the other residential units to facilitate financing, ownership and management of the units. Parcel F will have amenities and services to serve the needs of their tenants. While Parcel F is offsite (approximately 1,000 ft. north of Parcels A-E), it is located closer to the downtown and Transit Center (Caltrain station and SamTrans bus depot), providing easier access to shopping and services. Staff has analyzed the proposal and finds that it satisfies the required findings, as outlined in the attached resolution. State Density Bonus Law — The State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) and the City's Density Bonus regulations allow an applicant to request density bonuses and concessions or waivers of development standards if needed to financially offset the cost of developing the project based on the level of affordability provided. Local jurisdictions cannot consider these to be inconsistent with the general plan or local zoning standards if they meet the SDBL provisions. In addition, this law allows reduced parking ratios by right (0.5 spaces per bedroom for Parcels A and D and 0.5 spaces per unit for Parcel F). The project qualifies for density bonuses and concessions under the SDBL as noted below. Staff has analyzed the requested bonuses and concessions, based on the required findings as reflected in the attached resolution. Parcel A - The applicant requests the maximum 35% density bonus and two concessions: 1. Increased height from 6 to 7 stories. The project would meet the existing maximum bonus height of 85 ft. 2. Redistributed uses between Parcels A & B in order to construct one residential building on Parcel A, with office uses consolidated on Parcel B. Parcel D —The applicant requests a 20% density bonus and one concession: 1. Redistributed uses between Parcels C, D & E in order to construct one residential building on Parcel D, with office uses consolidated on Parcels C and E.
