Overview
This bill aims to streamline housing approvals in California by establishing objective planning standards for multifamily developments. It allows developers to submit applications for streamlined approval, subject to certain criteria, instead of requiring conditional use permits. The bill requires modifications to approved developments to be evaluated based on existing objective zoning standards, and it extends the time for approval of modifications. It also includes provisions related to affordable housing requirements and labor standards on construction projects.
Key provisions
- Requires local governments to approve modifications to approved developments based on existing objective zoning, subdivision, and design review standards.
- Establishes objective planning standards for multifamily housing development, including requirements related to site location, density, and affordable housing.
- Extends the approval timeline for modifications to developments, providing an additional 180 days beyond the initial approval.
- Provides a litigation extension for modification approvals, extending beyond the first modification request.
- Mandates that subsequent modifications be evaluated using the same assumptions and analytical methodology as the original application.
- Includes provisions related to affordable housing requirements, potentially requiring a minimum percentage of below-market-rate units.
- Addresses labor standards on construction projects, including prevailing wage requirements.
