Texas — Travis County
Density bonus strategy and
permitting built for San Antonio’s
UDC
San Antonio’s density bonus is formula-based and as-of-right — no council
vote required if you hit the table. JDJ models the bonus math and runs the
DSD submittal so you capture every unit you’re entitled to.

What JDJ handles in San Antonio
San Antonio’s UDC rewards developers who hit its density bonus tables — no discretionary vote needed.
JDJ handles the bonus modeling, the DSD submittal, and the county-level due diligence around it.
How this differs from Austin or Dallas: San Antonio’s bonus is purely formula-based (BD = TD × Y) — there’s no MVA lookup, no City Council hearing, just a calculation tied to your affordability set-aside.
