Multifamily housing and density bonus

Torrance's housing demand and limited vacant land create opportunities for residential infill, redevelopment, and mixed-use housing. JDJ helps developers assess base zoning, allowable density, State Density Bonus Law, affordable housing obligations, parking, height, setbacks, and entitlement requirements.
