• Under the density bonus, a 100 percent affordable project within a half mile of the Sprinter station could be up to eight or nine stories in most of the surrounding zones • On-site requirements for open space are in place; off-site cannot require unless there is a nexus, and the improvements are proportional to the impact of the project • The State waives some development fees; the City collects all eligible fees
