Line 4: 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). [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB827 Bill text]. The bill text proposes to add a Section 65917.7 (in Chapter 4.3, "Density Bonuses and Other Incentives") of  California Government Code; see [[California_State_Density_Bonus_Law\|California State Density Bonus Law]] for explanation of Density Bonus. ~~<br/> <br/>~~  [http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV&sectionNum=65917 Section 65917] of that chapter requires that "incentives offered by the city, county, or city and county pursuant to this chapter [4.3] shall contribute significantly to the economic feasibility of lower income housing in proposed housing developments." It is unclear whether the proposed "transit-rich housing bonus" would qualify as a "density bonus" which already has specified affordability requirements;  or if the bill may be revised to qualify so or to add specific affordability requirements.<br/> ''[update 7 Jan 2017:  [https://twitter.com/hanlonbt/status/950155791268429824 clarification] on that point from Brian Hanlon of bill sponsor California YIMBY: "Those negotiations are forthcoming."]. ''
