Developments providing affordable housing within Transit Priority Areas may be eligible for a bonus up to 100-percent of the allowed density if they are providing micro-units. To qualify as micro-units the average unit size is no more than 600 square feet with no dwelling unit exceeding 800 square feet. The micro-unit density bonus applies to rental or for-sale mixed income developments; senior housing developments; or housing for transitional foster youth, retired veterans, or those experiencing homelessness.
