Density Bonus to be
Continued Again
The San Diego City Council is expected to
continue consideration of the Density Bonus ordinance currently scheduled for
the March 27th Council Meeting. Questions remain regarding how much control
the City can have over the granting of the requested density bonuses and the
additional incentives and concessions.
Sacramento
News
Next Tuesday, Senate Transportation and Housing
will hear two major bills, SB 303 (Ducheny, D-San Diego), which substantially
rewrites housing element law to require cities to plan for 20 years of growth,
and SB 2 (Cedillo, D-Los Angeles), which requires "by right" zoning for
homeless shelters. The San Diego Housing Federation supports
both of these bills.

The Federation Roundtable on Supportive Housing

accommodated.

Early Registration for
Housing California Ends on March 30
Aside from the Federation's Annual Conference,
the Housing California Conference being held in Sacramento on April 23-25,
2007 is the best place to learn the latest and greatest information about
creating homes for the low income residents of California. With over 80
workshops over 3 days, this conference has something for all members of the
Federation. As importantly, it is an opportunity to network with developers
from other parts of the state to share war stories and build valuable
relationships.
