I guess my initial comment in reading this is that you are limiting both waiver and incentives to 2. State law has limits on incentives (financial constraints) but the waivers (physical constraints) are typically unlimited. When “competing” for the attention of the developer to utilize Cotati Bonus versus State Bonus, you may have to match the unlimited waivers.
But frankly, the 25% affordable at varying rates is already a good bonus. On big enough projects, that may move the needle enough in the proforma. I would just consider more flexibility on the waivers, and just limit incentives.
Are there other stated goals outside of expanding the mix of low income and moderate income?
