The new law that went into effect this year allows for a second density bonus whereby if you were to deed restrict another 26 units as moderate-income units, a second +50% bonus would be stacked on top of the first, in effect this would equal a +100% bonus allowing for 344 maximum units on the sites at 200 units per acre.

For a rental project, the City of Concord requires either 10% low income or 6% very low-income units.
