Bill overview
This bill aims to streamline housing development approvals by limiting local governments’ ability to reject or make projects infeasible based on standard development requirements. It clarifies that local agencies can’t disapprove projects for very low, low, or moderate-income households unless they have specific findings, and it emphasizes that projects should only be subject to ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time of the initial application. The bill also includes provisions to ensure consistency with existing plans and addresses concerns about excessive fees and exactions, while promoting density bonuses for projects that include affordable housing.
