SB827 (2018) is proposed California legislation that would create a "transit-rich housing bonus" to exempt certain new housing, within certain distances from transit, from a variety of current zoning limitations such as maximum density or parking requirements. It was introduced by San Francisco State Senator Scott Wiener on January 3, 2018. (Principal coauthor: Senator Skinner; Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Ting).

@Hyper_lexic<br/> I think it might go too far in the reach - minimum 45’ zoning on current residential side streets would be a real shock.<br/> |

Sandy Johnston @sandypsj<br/> "This would treat frequent peak service+infrequent off-peak equally, whereas we should probably be incentivizing frequent all-day service." |
||
@alon_levy<br/> Counterpoint: it's easier for NIMBYs to cut off-peak than peak frequency, because their own transit use is very peaky. |

== Proposals == |
|||
=== Add inclusionary (and/or other affordability & anti-displacement) measures === |
|||
Shane Phillips @shanedphillips<br/> “By far the biggest [concern] I've heard, and it's something I agree with, is the lack of any inclusionary requirements. This is a significant upzone for most areas, and a windfall for current owners. Should be relatively easy to require 10-15% affordable. |
|||
Dragonfly on Deck @IDoTheThinking<br/> "I would just prioritize <br/> 1) Provisions for tenants displaced by larger projects for guarantee return residency. Could maybe exempt this for smaller dwelling conversions, say a duplex into a 2-story apt." |
|||
<br/> @matthewplan<br/> Replying to @YIMBYwiki @housingforla and 2 others<br/> "3) density bonus housing replacement policies should be expanded to include housing relocation assistance and right of first refusal for new unit at same rent in new building." |
|||
⚫ | |||
=== Better/alternate qualifications for transit-rich locations === |
|||
@MarketUrbanism [https://twitter.com/MarketUrbanism/status/949747331099918338 6 Jan 2018]:<br/> "15-min headways needs to be defined more specifically. I would recommend defining it as total service along a route (so interlining is okay), and define it as, say, four buses within the 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. hours." |
|||
Bjorn @Zmapper [https://twitter.com/Zmapper/status/949777447456772096 6 Jan 2018]: <br/> "Suggestion: Count frequency by number of buses per stop per day (set to equal roughly 15-min/hour frequency) to minimize political service cuts." |
|||
Sandy Johnston @sandypsj<br/> "This would treat frequent peak service+infrequent off-peak equally, whereas we should probably be incentivizing frequent all-day service." |
|||
=== Better defining height limits === |
|||
@MarketUrbanism [https://twitter.com/MarketUrbanism/status/949747033795153921 6 Jan 2018]. <br/> "Setbacks and lot coverage rules that make the height limits weak. I would recommend forcing cities to accommodate FAR 2 within 45' zones, FAR 2.5 in 55' zones, and FAR 4 in 85' zones. |
|||
|
|||
=== Address if/how this measure affects or enables multi-use (mixed residential/commercial) projects<br/> <br/> Matthew Plan @matthewplan<br/> Replying to @YIMBYwiki @housingforla and 2 others<br/> "I’ve commented on 1) need to make clear this can apply on sites that don’t allow multifamily today like SF and C zones . Density bonus usually requires a site that allows 5 units before any bonus. Could amend 5 unit limit for all projects (not a bad idea) or remove Use limits." === |
|||
|
|||
=== Don't apply in historical districts === |
|||
Matthewplan @matthewplan<br/> Replying to @YIMBYwiki @housingforla and 2 others<br/> "5) Make clear this does not apply in historic districts or allow more than 1 extra floor in a specific plan area - unless allowed by jurisdiction." |
|||
|
|||
Favor 100% Affordable or cooperative housing |
|||
matthewplan @matthewplan<br/> Replying to @YIMBYwiki @housingforla and 2 others<br/> "6) maybe bring down heights 10 ft but provide this 10 extra height to 100% affordable projects or housing cooperatives." |
