Council adopts municipal code changes to density bonus and incentives (Ordinance 13‑72)
Summary
Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 13‑72 to update city rules governing density bonuses and incentive provisions in Title 9 of the municipal code; council found the amendments exempt from CEQA.
On second reading, the council adopted Ordinance No. 13‑72 to amend portions of Title 9 of the Simi Valley Municipal Code governing density bonus and incentive provisions. The ordinance was presented as a city‑initiated text amendment (Z‑S‑2026‑0002) and council determined the changes are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Council member Judge moved the second reading and council voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance. Council members noted that state legislation continues to shift density bonus rules but said updating the municipal code was necessary to maintain compliance.
The ordinance updates local incentive and density‑bonus implementation language; staff will publish the text amendment and implement the changes when the code is updated.
