SB - 10

Senate Bill 10 (SB - 10): Ability for City to enable additional units for single-family zoned lots

Use of this law is optional for each City. This law enables the local government to approve up to a 10-unit multi-family building on lots currently zoned for single-family housing. City Council would need to pass a resolution to adopt a plan to use SB -10, and exempts that zoning action from being considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act. When the local government passes this resolution, it can choose whether the individual projects will be ministerial/by right or subject to discretionary approval.
