The need for Concessions or Incentives will vary for different Housing Developments. Therefore, the allocation of Concessions and Incentives shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. The Concession or Incentive may include, but is not limited to, any of the following: A. A reduction of site development standards or a modification of zoning code or architectural design requirements that exceed the minimum building standards provided in Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13 of the California Health and Safety Code and that results in identifiable, financially sufficient and actual cost reductions. These may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: 1. Reduced minimum lot sizes and/or dimensions. 2. Reduced minimum lot setbacks. 3. Reduced minimum outdoor and/or private outdoor living area. 4. Increased maximum lot coverage. 5. Increased maximum building height and/or stories. 6. Reduced on-site parking standards, including the number or size of spaces and garage requirements. 7. Reduced minimum building separation requirements. 8. Reduced street standards, e.g., reduced minimum street widths. B. Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the Housing Development; C. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City which result in identifiable cost reductions or avoidance; D. A Density Bonus of greater than the amount required by this Article; E. Deferred planning, plan check, construction permit, and/or development impact fees (e.g., capital facilities, park, or traffic fees); or F. Direct financial aid (e.g., redevelopment set-aside, Community Development Block Grant funding) in the form of a loan or a grant to subsidize or provide low interest financing for on or off site improvements, land or construction costs. The City may offer an Equivalent Financial Incentive in lieu of granting a Density Bonus, a Concession or Incentive, or both. The value of the Equivalent Financial Incentive shall equal at least the land cost per dwelling unit savings that would result from a Density Bonus and must contribute significantly to the economic feasibility of providing the Target Units pursuant to this Article. For projects that qualify under California Government Code Section 65915(d), upon the specific request of the development the City may grant more than one Concession or Incentive.
