(1) RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL - REDDING MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT TO ADD CHAPTER 18.26, RESIDENTIAL DENSITY BONUS, by the City of Redding. The new code chapter would implement the State Density Bonus Law as found in Government Code Section 65915. The provisions of state law require local jurisdictions to grant a density bonus (i.e., allow more residential units to be constructed than is otherwise allowed under the General Plan and Zoning Code), if the development contains a specified number of dwellings reserved for very low-, low-, and/or moderate-income households. The law also requires that local jurisdictions provide certain incentives to the developer of such units to help offset their development costs. Environmental Determination: Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted for the Zoning Code. Staff Recommendation: Recommend to the City Council adoption of the Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval. L-010-500-050 RECOMMENDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF THE ADDENDUM TO THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND APPROVAL.
