Referral Update:
SB 10 (Wiener)– Streamlined Zoning for Small Multifamily Projects: Would allow a streamlined rezoning process on qualifying infill sites to allow up to 10 units without CEQA review. The infill definition used in the bill means this program will have limited applicability to county unincorporated areas. Last year’s version of SB 10 was SB 902 (Wiener)
