The application shall <br />include reasonable documentation that all of the requirements included in Government <br />Code Section 65915.5 can be met. <br />17.38.040 Application review process. <br />A. All requests under state density bonus law shall be part of the planning application and shall be applied for, <br />reviewed, and acted upon concurrently with the planning application by the approval body with authority to <br />approve the development, within the timelines prescribed by Government Code Section 65950 et seq. or <br />other statute. Appeals of the planning application in accordance with the requirements of chapter 18.144 of <br />this code and shall include all requests under state density bonus law if appeals are authorized for the <br />discretionary or ministerial permit applied for. <br />B. To ensure that an application for a housing development conforms with the provisions of state density <br />bonus law, the staff report presented to the decision-making body shall state whether the application <br />conforms to the following requirements of state density bonus law, as applicable: <br />1. The housing development provides the housing required by state density bonus law to be eligible <br />for a density bonus and any incentives, parking reduction, or waivers requested, including housing <br />required to replace units rented or formerly rented to very low- and low-income households as <br />required by Government Code Section 65915(c)(3). <br />2. If applicable, the housing development provides the housing required by state density bonus law to <br />be eligible for an additional density bonus under Government Code Section 65915(v)(1). <br />3. If an incentive is requested, reasonable documentation has been presented showing that any <br />requested incentive will result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable <br />housing or costs or rents; except that, if a mixed-use development is requested, the application must <br />instead meet all of the requirements of Government Code Section 65915(k)(2). <br />4. If a waiver is requested, the development standards for which a waiver is requested would have the <br />effect of physically precluding the construction of the housing development at the densities or with <br />the incentives permitted. <br />5. The housing development is eligible for any requested parking reductions under Government Code <br />Section 65915(p) or other statute. <br />6. If the density bonus is based all or in part on donation of land, the requirements of Government <br />Code Section 65915(g) have been met. <br />7. If the density bonus or incentive is based all or in part on the inclusion of a child care facility or <br />condominium conversion, the requirements included in Government Code Section 65915(h) or <br />65915.5, as appropriate, have been met. <br />C. The decision-making body shall grant an incentive requested by the applicant unless it makes a written <br />finding, based upon substantial evidence, of any of the following: <br />Page 31 of 658
