Los Angeles City Council votes to boost housing development in existing high-density residential neighborhoods and along commercial corridors.

Incentives to build in single-family zones would only apply if a property is owned by a public agency or a faith-based organization.

The plan provides incentives to build both market rate and affordable units.

Some housing advocates say denser housing is needed to reduce racial segregation.
