'''SB 827''' (Senate Bill 827, "Transit-rich Housing Bonus") is proposed [[California_legislation_2018|2018 California state legislation]] that would '''encourage high-density housing development in locations served by regular transit service'''. It would grant a "transit-rich housing bonus" to residential developments in such areas, allowing exemption from certain typical zoning limitations such as a) maximum density or b) provision of parking or c) height limits below the specified minimums in the bill. It was introduced by San Francisco State Senator Scott Wiener on January 3, 2018, and a major revision introduced March 1. See: [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB827 Bill text].<br/> <br/> '''
#85 feet buildings, on streets within 1/4 mile of a major transit stop, or stop on a high quality transit corridors, that are wider (70' or more between property lines).
Line 9:
#45 feet, on less wide streets.

The bonus granted by SB827 could also, in many cases, be combined with a state or local [[California_State_Density_Bonus_Law|Density Bonus]], which typically allows an additional 20% or 2 stories height. As a common rule of thumb, buildings are about 10 feet per floors ('story'). Therefore if buildings use both SB827 and Density Bonus, they could in theory be allowed ''from around 65 to 105 feet, or 6-10 stories''.
