density bonuses

Density bonuses are incentives granted by local governments that allow developers to build more housing units than normally permitted by zoning laws. In exchange for this increased density, developers often agree to include affordable housing or contribute to community amenities. This approach aims to address housing shortages and promote diverse, sustainable communities while balancing the needs of developers and residents. The goal is to encourage responsible development that meets both market demands and social needs, helping to create vibrant neighborhoods.
