<br /> <br /> <br />4/8/26 8 <br />Good to know: Jurisdictions are not required to amend their zoning ordinances to implement SB 79, resolve <br />inconsistencies with SB 79, or implement an option to modify SB 79’s requirements. If a jurisdiction takes no <br />action, SB 79’s standards apply directly and supersede any conflicting local zoning. <br />State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) (Section 65915) <br />Projects developed under SB 79 are eligible for the full range of benefits provided under SDBL (Section 65915). <br />This includes eligibility for density bonuses, incentives or concessions, waivers or reductions of development <br />standards, and modified parking ratios, using the density permitted under SB 79 as the project’s base density. <br />One major caveat is that local governments are not required to grant additional height increases through SDBL <br />beyond those already authorized under SB 79, except as specifically provided in Section 65915(d)(2)(D) for <br />100% affordable projects. <br />Projects that meet both certain density thresholds under SB 79 and the affordability requirements of the SDBL <br />are eligible for up to three additional concessions. These thresholds and benefits vary by the project’s <br />proximity to a TOD stop, the tier of the stop, and the depth of affordability provided, as outlined in the table <br />below. <br /> <br />8.A. - Page 26 of 97 <br />244
