The purpose of this density bonus ordinance is to provide a means for granting density bonuses and incentives in compliance with Government Code Sections 65915 through 65917, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended. This chapter provides density bonuses and incentives for projects that are affordable to very low, low, and moderate income households and projects restricted to occupancy by senior citizens.
(Ord. C-15-10 § 1(Exh. A(part)), 2010)
Unless otherwise specified in this chapter or unless the context plainly requires otherwise, the words and phrases used in this chapter shall have the meanings defined in Chapter 18.02 and the meanings attributed to them in Government Code Section 65915 et seq.
"Affordable housing unit"
means any extremely low, very low, low, or moderate income unit created pursuant to this chapter.
"Density bonus"
means a density increase over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density as of the date of application by the applicant to the city, county or city and county. If a residential development qualifies for a density bonus under both the California Government Code and this section, then the applicant may use either the state or local density bonus benefits, but not both. The granting of density bonus benefits shall not, in and of itself, require a general plan amendment, zoning change or other separate discretionary approval.
"Project" or "development"
as used in this section means a residential or mixed-use (e.g., mixture of residential uses with commercial, office, or other uses) project for five or more residential units. For the purposes of this section, "project" also includes a subdivision or common interest development, as defined in Section 1351 of the Civil Code, approved by a city, county, or city and county and consists of residential units or unimproved residential lots and either a project to substantially rehabilitate and convert an existing commercial building to residential use or the substantial rehabilitation of an existing multifamily dwelling, as defined in subdivision (d) of Government Code Section 65863.4, where the result of the rehabilitation would be a net increase in available residential units.
"Senior housing unit"
means any housing unit restricted to occupancy by a senior citizen household pursuant to this chapter.
(Ord. C-15-10 § 1(Exh. A(part)), 2010; Ord. C-2014-10 § 8(A), 2014)
For purposes of calculating base density, any area of land on a given site that is not potentially developable due to hazards or other environmental and resource factors (including but not limited to areas of sensitive habitat or buffers to that sensitive habitat, steep slopes, significant views, public access ways, or geologic instability) shall not be considered potentially developable lot area and shall be excluded from the base density calculations (i.e., base density shall be determined based only on the potentially developable portion of a given site).
In order to be eligible for a density bonus and other incentives as provided by this chapter, a proposed project shall comply with the following requirements and satisfy: (1) all applicable provisions of the certified LUP and (2) except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all applicable provisions of this zoning code.
A. 
Types of Projects. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to:
1. 
New residential projects of five or more dwelling units, regardless of the type of dwelling units proposed;
2. 
New mixed-use developments which include at least five dwelling units;
3. 
Renovation of one or more multifamily residential structures containing at least five units so as to result in a net increase of the number of residential units;
4. 
Development that will change the use of an existing building from nonresidential to residential and that will provide at least five residential units;
5. 
Developments that include the conversion of at least five residential rental units to ownership housing.
B. 
Affordability and Age Requirements. Projects receiving a density bonus, incentives, and/or concessions under this chapter shall include at least one of the following:
1. 
A minimum of ten percent of the proposed dwelling units are for low income households; or
2. 
A minimum of five percent of the proposed dwelling units are for very low or extremely low income households; or
3. 
A minimum of ten percent of the total dwelling units in a common interest development, as defined in Civil Code Section 1351, are for persons and families of moderate income; provided, that all units in the development are offered to the public for purchase.
4. 
A senior citizen project or a mobile home park that limits residency based on age requirements for housing older persons in compliance with Civil Code Sections 51.2, 51.3, 798.76, or 799.5.
5. 
Length of Affordability. Projects that provide extremely low, very low, and low income units shall provide the units at affordable rents to eligible households for a minimum period of thirty years, beginning at the initial occupancy of each affordable housing unit, or a longer period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program. Projects that provide moderate income units in a common interest development shall ensure the initial occupancy of the unit by a moderate income household and the occupancy and resale of the unit shall be governed by an affordable housing agreement. Senior citizen projects shall be restricted to occupancy by senior citizens in perpetuity.
C. 
Any housing development approved pursuant to this chapter shall be consistent with the certified local LUP policies and with all applicable development standards. Further, all development approved pursuant to a density bonus or other incentive shall be developed in a manner most protective of coastal resources (including but not limited to areas of sensitive habitat, agriculture, steep slopes, significant views, public access ways, or geologic instability). If the city approves development with a density bonus or other incentive, the city must find that the development, with and without the density bonus or other incentive, would have been fully consistent with the policies of the certified LUP. If the city determines that the means of accommodating the density bonus or other incentive proposed by the applicant will have an adverse effect on coastal resources inconsistent with the LUP or the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act, the density bonus or incentive shall not be approved.
D. 
For development approved within the coastal zone pursuant to this chapter, the required density bonus and any requested incentive(s), concession(s) and/or waiver(s) or reduction(s) of development standards shall be consistent with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act and all applicable requirements of the certified Half Moon Bay LUP.
(Ord. C-15-10 § 1(Exh. A(part)), 2010; Ord. C-2014-10 § 8(B), 2014)
A project that complies with the eligibility requirements of Section 18.42.030 shall be entitled to a density bonus. The applicant shall elect whether the density bonus shall be awarded on the basis of subsection (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), or (F) of this section. The applicant may request a smaller density bonus.
A.

The density bonus for land dedication shall be in addition to any other density bonus allowed by this chapter, up to a maximum total density bonus of thirty-five percent.
2. 
Eligibility for Land Donation Bonus. An applicant shall be eligible for the increased density bonus described in this section if all of the following conditions are met:
a. 
The applicant donates and transfers the land to the city no later than date of approval by the city of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or residential development seeking the density bonus.
b. 
The developable acreage and zoning classification of the land being transferred are sufficient to permit construction of units affordable to very low income households in an amount not less than ten percent of the number of market-rate residential units of the proposed development.
c. 
The transferred land: (i) is at least one acre in size or of sufficient size to permit development of at least forty units; (ii) has the appropriate general plan designation and is appropriately zoned for development of very low income housing; (iii) is or will be served by adequate public facilities and infrastructure for the development of very low income housing; (iv) has appropriate zoning and development standards to make the development of the very low income housing units feasible; and (v) has all of the permits and approvals, other than building permits, necessary for the development of the very low income housing units, except that the city may subject the proposed development to subsequent design review, if the design is not reviewed by the city prior to the transfer.
d. 
The transferred land and very low income housing units shall be subject to a deed restriction, which shall be recorded on the property upon dedication, ensuring continued affordability of the units for a thirty-year period.
e. 
The land is transferred to the city or to a housing developer approved by the city.
f. 
The transferred land is within the proposed development or, if approved by the city, within one-quarter mile of the boundary of the proposed development.
g. 
A proposed source of funding for the development of very low income units shall be identified not later than the date of approval of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or residential development application.
F. 
Bonus for Condominium Conversions. When a development is the conversion of an existing apartment complex to a condominium complex and the applicant agrees to make at least thirty-three percent of the total units of the development affordable to moderate income households for thirty years, or fifteen percent of the total units of the proposed development affordable to lower income households for thirty years, and agrees to pay for the administrative costs incurred by the city to process the application and to monitor the continued affordability and habitability of the affordable housing units, the city shall either:
1. 
Grant a density bonus of twenty-five percent, or
2. 
Provide other incentives of equivalent financial value as determined by the city.
An applicant shall be ineligible for a density bonus or other incentives under this section if the apartments proposed for conversion are part of a project for which a density bonus or other incentives were previously provided under this chapter or Government Code Section 65819 et seq.
G. 
Calculation of Density Bonus.
1. 
All density calculations resulting in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
2. 
For the purposes of this chapter "total dwelling units" does not include units added by a density bonus awarded pursuant to this section or any other density bonus allowed by the city of Half Moon Bay or state law.
3. 
If the site of a development proposal that requests a density bonus is located in two or more general plan designations or zoning districts, the number of dwelling units permitted in the development is the sum of the dwelling units permitted in each of the zones. The permitted number of dwelling units may be distributed within the development without regard to the zone boundaries.
4. 
If the applicant desires to develop a density bonus project available to a mix of income levels or age groups, the project may combine its allowed density bonus, based on calculations approved by the community development director, to a maximum density bonus of thirty-five percent.
5. 
The density bonus shall be based on "maximum allowable residential density" which means the density allowed under the zoning ordinance and land use element of the general plan, or if a range of density is permitted, means the maximum allowable density for the specific zoning range and land use element of the general plan applicable to the project. Where the density allowed under the zoning ordinance is inconsistent with the density allowed under the land use element of the general plan, the general plan density shall prevail.
6. 
For the purposes of calculating a density bonus, the residential units shall be on contiguous sites that are the subject of one development application, but do not have to be based upon individual subdivision maps or parcels. The density bonus shall be permitted in geographic areas of the project other than the areas where the units for the lower income houses are located. Any areas deemed undevelopable due to hazards or other environmental and resource factors (including but not limited to areas of sensitive habitat, steep slopes, significant views, public access ways, or geologic instability), shall be excluded from the developable portions of the lot suitable for density increases over the maximum allowable residential units.
H. 
Accessory Dwelling Units. If desired by the applicant, the density bonus may be used to construct one accessory dwelling unit per lot. The unit must comply with Chapter 18.33, except that the accessory dwelling unit may be constructed on a lot that does not contain an existing or proposed single-family dwelling.
(Ord. C-15-10 § 1(Exh. A(part)), 2010; Ord. C-2014-10 § 8(C), 2014; Ord. C-2015-04 § 1(part), 2015; Ord. C-2018-04 § 2(Att. A)(part), 2018)
When an applicant seeks a density bonus or seeks to donate land for housing, the city shall provide the applicant with incentives or concessions for the production on housing units and child care facilities. The applicant must submit a density bonus application, as described in Section 18.42.100, identifying the specific incentives or concessions that the applicant requests.
A. 
Granting of Incentive. When an applicant seeks a density bonus or seeks to donate land for housing, the city shall provide the applicant with incentives or concessions for the production of housing units and, if applicable, child care facilities. The city shall grant the incentive or concession requested by the applicant unless the city makes any of the following written findings, based upon substantial evidence:
1. 
The incentive or concession is not required to provide for affordable housing costs as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5, or for rents for the targeted units set as specified in Sections 18.42.030 and 18.42.040; or
2. 
The incentive or concession would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2), upon public health and safety, the physical environment, or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rending the development unaffordable to low and moderate income households; or
3. 
The incentive or concession would be contrary to state or federal law; or
4. 
The incentive or concession cannot be accommodated in a manner consistent with the local coastal program land use plan or the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act.
B. 
Number of Incentives. The city shall grant the following number of incentives, except as provided in subsection A of this section:

D. 
This section shall only apply at the specific written request of the applicant to a development that meets the requirements and the criteria of Section 18.42.030. An applicant may request parking incentives or concessions beyond those provided in this section pursuant to Section 18.42.050.
(Ord. C-15-10 § 1(Exh. A(part)), 2010)
For the purposes of this chapter, "child care facility" is defined as a child day care facility other than a family day care home, including, but not limited to, infant centers, preschools, extended day care facilities, and school-age child care centers.
A. 
Allowable Density Bonus and Incentives. When an applicant proposes to construct a development that conforms to the requirements of Section 18.42.030 and includes a child care facility located on the premises, or as part of, or adjacent to, the development, the city shall grant either of the following:
1. 
An additional density bonus of five percent; provided, that the total density bonus for the project does not exceed thirty-five percent. The density bonus is an amount of square feet of residential space that is equal to or greater than the amount of square feet in the child care facility and shall not exceed a maximum of five square feet of floor area of new structures for each one square foot of floor area contained In the child care facility; or
2. 
An additional incentive or concession designated by the city that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the construction of the child care facility.

In addition to addressing the requirements of Section 18.42.070, a child care facility agreement for a project shall provide the following conditions governing the use and operation of the child care facility during the use restriction period:
A. 
If the developer uses space allocated for child care facility purposes, in accordance with this chapter, for purposes other than for a child care facility, an assessment based on the square footage of the project shall be levied and collected by the city. The assessment shall be consistent with the market value of the space. If the developer fails to have the space allocated for the child care facility within three years from the date upon which the first temporary certificate of occupancy is granted, an assessment based on the square footage of the project shall be levied and collected by the city. The assessment shall be consistent with the market value of the space. If the assessment is levied against a consortium of developers, the assessment shall be charged to each developer in an amount equal to the developer's percentage square feet participation. Funds collected pursuant to this requirement shall be deposited by the city into a special account to be used for child care services or child care facilities.
B. 
Once the child care facility has been established, the facility shall not be closed, undergo change in use or be reduced in physical size unless the city makes a finding that the need for child care is no longer present, or is not present to the same degree as it was at the time the facility was established.
