Innovative Policy Solutions

SB 35

The law is designed to encourage the creation of new affordable housing units by removing the pressure of local politics from the approval process.

Middle Class Housing Act

The law aims to create new housing units for low and middle income Californians by allowing development in underused commercial sites zoned for retail, office and parking usage.

Interim Motel Conversion Ordinance

This legislative action strips away regulatory barriers that previously prevented dilapidated hotels and motels from being repurposed as transitional and supportive housing facilities. The ordinance also allows for by-right construction of multifamily developments on land currently zoned for public facilities – assuming nearby properties are zoned for that use – and exempts PSH developments from mandatory parking minimums.

Senate Bill 10

This law incentivizes cities and counties to reform their zoning to concentrate on urban infill development in transit-rich areas.
