What is the density bonus ordinance SunCal wants to use?

A Density Bonus Ordinance was adopted by the city council on December 1, 2009.
The ordinance allows developers to exceed current zoning density limitations by five to 35 percent in exchange for constructing affordable housing, senior housing and child care facilities.

The Density Bonus Ordinance brings Alameda in line with current state code regarding this form of developer incentive. We don’t know how many units would be possible at Alameda Point using the density bonus ordinance because we do not know what land plan this would be applied to at this time.
