Overview
This bill modifies regulations surrounding transit-oriented development (TOD) in California. It specifically excludes sites with historic resources – including contributing sites within historic districts and individually listed historical resources – from density requirements. The bill also clarifies that certain sites, such as those in very high fire hazard zones or vulnerable to sea level rise, are also exempt. It aims to balance housing development with the preservation of California’s historical heritage.
