Determine to grant density bonuses or make other con- cessions where the developer agrees to make some sacrifice in profit. 5. Not embark on an aggressive program of providing low and moderate income housing but a means which requires medium and upper income families to pay substantially more than the market value of their units. 4.

Amend the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Policy to limit the possibility of a double density bonus. -2- Held Thursday - 4:00 p.m. April 10, 1980 HUD Financing Director of Community Development commented that both the City of San Diego and City of Chula Vista have been hurt by a lack of allocation of funds from HUD for subsidized housing programs and that Chu]a Vista will not receive its fair share of the Section 8 funds for senior citizens housing until it can provide family units.
