Crescenta Valley Town Council: SENATE BILLS: SB 9 & SB 10

Press release from the Crescenta Valley Town Council:

November 17, 2021

SB 9 and SB 10 take effect January 1, 2022 and are intended to help add needed new housing and help ease California’s housing shortage.

A. SB 9, the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act facilitates the process of homeowners to build a duplex or split their current residential lot, expanding housing options for people of all incomes that will create more opportunities for homeowners to add units on their existing properties. – In other words; where there is one existing home, it will be possible to build four.

B. SB 10 Creates a voluntary process for local governments to access a streamlined zoning process for new multi-unit housing near transit or in urban infill areas, with up to 10 units per parcel. The legislation simplifies the CEQA requirements for up-zoning, giving local leaders another tool to voluntarily increase density and provide affordable rental opportunities to more Californians. – In other words: increase the number of people living within any given community.

If this issues interest you and want to find out more about what kind of impact this will have La Crescenta Community, attend the CVTC LUC meeting to be held via Zoom on Thursday December 2, at 6:30 pm. The Department of Regional Planning will make a presentation explaining both Senate Bills. There will be questions and answers following the presentation.
