Overview
This bill aims to make it easier for local governments to approve housing development projects, particularly those that rely on tax-exempt private activity bonds. It expands the definition of ‘disapproving’ a housing project to include a local agency’s failure to follow federal regulations for issuing these bonds. The bill also creates an exception to appeal rules for certain appeals related to tentative and final maps, and revises the definition of ‘high-frequency commuter rail’ for transit-oriented development purposes. It also provides that no reimbursement will be required for these actions.
