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).

SB 827 (Senate Bill 827, Transit-rich Housing Bonus") is proposed 2018 California state legislation that would encourage high-density housing development in the vicinity of transit. It would grant a "transit-rich housing bonus" to residential developments allowed under current zoning, allowing exemption from certain typical  zoning limitations such as maximum density or required provision of parking, and allowing up to 85 feet building height depending on transit quality and street width.  It was introduced by San Francisco State Senator Scott Wiener on January 3, 2018.  (Principal coauthor: Senator Skinner; Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Ting).
