First, the assumed 50% <br /> density bonus is a "worst-case" assumption - it is not a certainty that every project will <br /> seek or achieve a density bonus, or at the maximum level. Additional density achieved <br /> via State Density Bonuses comes with additional amounts of required affordable <br /> housing (in most cases, well above what would be required by the City's Inclusionary <br /> Zoning Ordinance), and larger projects may incur additional costs in terms of <br /> construction, fees and other burdens. Second, raising the "base" density to 65 du/ac <br /> offers more potential for projects to be viable without necessarily seeking density <br /> bonuses, improving the viability of projects overall, and helping to support the types of <br /> amenities and improvements sought in the Framework. <br /> Page 8 of 11 <br />
