Applicant says 2 very‑low and 2 moderate‑income units proposed under density‑bonus plan
Summary
The applicant told the commission the project seeks to use California's density bonus law to reach 26 units and is proposing two very‑low‑income and two moderate‑income restricted units; staff said legal and entitlement questions will be resolved during formal application review.
The applicant said the 560 Avenue of the Flags project would rely on state density bonus provisions to increase the allowable units on the site to 26 and to qualify for incentives or concessions.
Carol Florence of Oasis Associates told the commission "2 units are restricted to very low income households and 2 units for moderate income households," and said the team would pursue the incentives and parking reductions that density bonus law allows. Staff noted the project's qualification under California Government Code section 65915 will be determined at a later stage and that city staff would consult with the city attorney on legal interpretations.
Commissioners raised procedural and entitlement questions about how a density bonus request interacts with nearby, previously approved entitlements for the Avenue Heights Apartments and whether certain affordability provisions require for‑sale units in some stacking scenarios. Staff said those issues will be clarified during the formal application and review process.
