This bill would require that housing developments be a use by right on any land owned by a university, except adjacent to large industrial sites. 100% of the units would be required to be affordable, but 20% may be set at moderate-income levels, and a portion of the units may be used by a manager or staff of the university.

These projects would also be eligible for density bonus and other incentives, concessions, waivers, and parking reductions.
