Latinos Unidos Del Valle De Napa Y Solano v. County of Napagreen

2021(Latinos Unidos Del Valle de Napa y Solano v. County of Napa (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 1160, 1169 [voiding ordinance requiring larger percentage of affordable housing than provided 9 in § 65915].) The ordinance here does so; it conflicts with the state density bonus law to the extent that it requires an applicant demonstrate that an incentive is needed to make the project “economically feasible.” It is therefore preempted by state law.3 Substantial evidence Appellants contend the CPC’s determination is invalid because it is not supported by substantial evidence.

2022(Wollmer, supra, 193 Cal.App.4th at p. 1347 .) “If the project were not built, it goes without saying that housing units for lower-income households would not be built and the purpose of the [D]ensity [B]onus [L]aw to encourage such development would not be achieved.” (Ibid.) Thus, unless one of the statutory exceptions applies, so long as a proposed housing development project meets the criteria of the Density Bonus Law by including the necessary affordable units, a city may not apply any development standard that would physically preclude construction of that project as designed, even if the
