50898. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)  As California moves into the next century, revitalization of our downtown areas is of vital importance to every community in our state.
(b)  Downtown areas generally represent urban cores that are deficient in housing that is critical to revitalization.
(c)  Providing additional housing in downtown areas will allow workers to live closer to their place of employment and minimize the number of workers commuting from other areas.
(d)  Downtown areas frequently have many older, underutilized commercial buildings that are well suited for residential, live-work, and mixed residential and commercial use.
(e)  The development of projects that are in close proximity to transit corridors allows the workforce to use mass transit to commute to work and minimizes the use of private vehicles, easing traffic congestion and wear on our highways, and serves to improve air quality.

These projects shall include residential infill projects, the adaptive reuse of vacant or underused commercial or industrial structures, and the development of higher density housing adjacent to existing or planned mass transit stations, as follows:
(1)  Development projects in which vacant sites, or sites that are scheduled to become vacant, and are located within an established developed area of a community, are used for multifamily rental housing in conjunction with higher densities and flexible development standards that demonstrably reduce infrastructure costs and environmental consequences.
(2)  Development projects rehabilitating existing commercial or industrial buildings that are at least 30 percent vacant that will result in at least 40 percent of the building floor area being used for residential dwelling units, live-work units, or both.
(3)  Rental housing developments located within one-quarter mile of an existing or planned major transit node that are developed at a density level that meets or exceeds density standards to be developed by the department.

(2)  Facilitating updates of general plans and zoning ordinances to encourage adaptive reuse, higher density residential development, mixed-use development, and residential development located within walking distance of schools, shopping, transit nodes, and major employment centers.
