Overview
This bill modifies how local agencies review urban lot splits, particularly in relation to historical resources. Currently, agencies must consider housing developments ministerially if they meet certain requirements. This bill changes this process, requiring agencies to ministerially approve urban lot splits only if the resulting parcels are not located within historic landmarks or designated historical properties. It also mandates that proposed urban lot splits not require demolition or alteration of specified structures, and establishes objective standards for maintaining historical value.
