California’s New Affordable Housing Laws – Part ThreeMeyers Nave
Governor Brown signed 15 bills into law on September 29, 2017 that are designed to help address California's affordable housing crisis. The approved bills take different approaches to the housing shortage in California, including providing more funding for affordable housing development, streamlining local government approval of housing projects, restoring local government's authority to impose inclusionary housing requirements on private housing developers, and strengthening the state's anti-NIMBY laws.
The new laws have implications and obligations for municipalities, housing related public agencies, and private developers. To help explain the new affordable housing regulatory landscape, Meyers Nave presented a three-part series addressing the most critical issues under the new laws. This presentation focuses on tightening state requirements for local housing including:
-New Housing Element Law Requirements and New “No Net Loss” Requirements – State Tightening Local Accountability for Accommodating Fair Share of Housing Production (AB 1397, SB 166, AB 879, AB 72)
-New Housing Accountability Act requirements – Putting Teeth in State Anti-NIMBY Laws (SB 167, AB 678, AB 1515)
-Accessory Dwelling Unit Requirements – Making Second Units Workable for Homeowners (AB 494, SB 229)
-Do’s and Don’ts for local governments
-How developers can use the new laws to get housing projects approved
SB 9 And The “End of Single Family Zoning” in California: What You Need To KnowMeyers Nave
Governor Newsom recently signed SB 9 into law which takes effect in January 2022, requiring cities and counties to ministerially approve certain two-unit projects and lot splits. Under the law, if a lot split is followed by the development of a two-unit project on each lot, four units could be built on what was previously a single-family residential parcel. The new law allows local agencies to adopt objective standards to govern these types of projects, yet imposes restrictions on what agencies can require, including limits on parking and setback requirements. Additionally, in order to qualify for a two-unit development or lot split, parcels must meet certain criteria under the law.
The practical impact of SB 9 is that local agencies will lose significant local authority related to development of property in single family zoning districts.
Join Meyers Nave on Monday, September 27 at 12:00 p.m. to explore key issues related to SB 9 including:
What parcels qualify for a two-unit development or lot split
Criteria for approving SB 9 projects
Discretion retained by local agencies to restrict and regulate SB 9 projects
The webinar will also cover additional housing legislation signed by the Governor, including SB 8. We will leave ample time for questions and a lively discussion.
