On September 28, 2022 Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB-2011, a legislation that streamlines the housing approval process in California to boost the construction of more housing units and prevent further housing crisis in this state.

California Senate authorized to develop multifamily housing projects that are subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval permit process and not subject to a conditional use permit if the development follows a list of objective standards. Part of the objectives cover affordability and site criteria, including being located within a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, and would make the development a use by right and subject to one of 2 streamlined, ministerial review processes.

How AB-2011 works?

Parcels could be re-zoned to facilitate building residential units if the proposed projects meet the pre-defined objective standards, affordability and site criteria, including being located within a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, and would make the development a use by right and subject to one of 2 streamlined, ministerial review processes.

What's the next step?
