Cover Letter pt. 2

Builders Remedy: The applicant applied for the project under Builders Remedy. As described in Government Code Section 65589.5(d), a local government can not disapprove of a housing project as long as the project provides at least 20% affordable housing for very low, low- or moderate income households and the jurisdiction does not have a compliant Housing Element. 

Density Bonus: By including the affordable housing units for low-income households, the project qualifies for two incentives or concessions from local development standards. It also qualifies for density bonus waivers for any standards that would prevent a project from being built.
