Housing development: density bonuses: rent.

Existing law, commonly referred to as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city or county to provide a developer that proposes a housing development, as defined, within the city or county with a density bonus, other incentives or concessions, and waivers or reductions of development standards, as specified, if the developer agrees to construct, among other options, specified units and meets other requirements.

This bill would prohibit land improved with an operating hotel or motel from being valued by the landowner, for purposes of establishing, adjusting, or resetting ground rent under an existing lease, based on residential density or density bonuses, unless those density increases are entitled and vested as of the valuation date, as provided. The bill would also prohibit its provisions from being construed to alter the existing requirements for obtaining a density bonus.
