   AB 2556, as introduced, Nazarian. Housing density bonus.
   The Planning and Zoning Law requires, when a developer of housing
proposes a housing development within the jurisdiction of the local
government, that the city, county, or city and county provide the
developer with a density bonus and other incentives or concessions
for the production of lower income housing units or the donation of
land within the development if the developer, among other things,
agrees to construct a specified percentage of units for very low,
low-, or moderate-income households or qualifying residents.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation relating to housing density bonuses.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
