§ 699-a. Definitions. As used in this article:

1. "Affordable workforce housing" means housing for individuals and
families at or below one hundred thirty percent of the median income for
the Nassau-Suffolk primary metropolitan statistical area as defined by
the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. For the
purposes of this article, the affordable workforce housing units shall
be of consistent design to those of the rest of the development.

2. "Density bonus" means a density increase of at least ten percent
over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density or floor area
ratio if part of a mixed-use development under the applicable zoning
ordinance and comprehensive plan as of the date of the application by
the applicant to the local government. All density calculations
resulting in fractional units shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number. The granting of a density bonus shall not require, in and of
itself, a comprehensive plan amendment, zoning change or other
discretionary local approval. The density bonus shall not be included as
part of the calculation which determines the number of affordable units
that constitute ten percent of the total.

3. "Local government", for the purposes of this article, means any
village, city or town within the county of Nassau or Suffolk acting
