The purpose of this chapter is to provide incentives for the production of housing for lower income households (which, as set forth in California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5B, includes very low and extremely low income households) and senior households in accordance with Sections 65915 through 65917 of the California Government Code. Section 65915 directs the town to provide density bonuses and/or other concessions or incentives under certain circumstances, as set forth in Section 65915 et seq., in order to encourage the construction of low income housing. (Density bonuses essentially allow more units per acre than would otherwise be permitted. Other concessions or incentives, for example, could include the reduction or waiver of permit fees and/or utility fees and/or the provision of financial assistance in constructing public improvements.) Section 65915 also directs the town to adopt an ordinance specifying how the town will comply with these provisions. (Ord. 606 § 1 (part), 2014)
