California SB-9 Housing development Bill 2021
California SB-10 Planning and zoning: housing development density Bill 2021
From Livable California
• SB 9 (Let’s End Homeownership, by Toni Atkins and Scott Wiener) This divisive bill, which died in 2020 as SB 1120, crushes single-family zoning in California, a threat to 7 million homeowners. Wiener has called yards and single-family homes “immoral.” SB 9 is not a “duplex” bill. It allows 4 market-rate homes where 1 now stands (up to 6 units, if developers use a hidden “two-step” that Livable California volunteer attorneys spotted). SB 9 is the beginning of the end of homeownership in California, as investors jump into bidding wars against families. Facing withering criticism, author Atkins, in a Sacramento Bee op-ed, said her bill gives “homeowners the opportunity to reimagine their property.” No. Only the rich and developers can finance full-sized homes in the backyard. SB 9 is a senseless gamble against 21M people living in single-family homes. Link here to LC Position Letter. Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development Hearing on June 22.

• SB 10 (14-Unit Buildings Everywhere, by Scott Wiener) Opens all neighborhoods to demolition and speculation, letting any city council enact a bizarre ordinance that tosses out CEQA to allow 14-unit luxury apartments on “any parcel”, overriding all zoning including single-family and commercial. This bill openly invites gentrification of older, diverse, multi-family and single-family areas. It requires NO affordable units. A copycat of Wiener’s defeated SB 902, SB 10 is an anti-green, anti-voter bill that also allows a City Council to override voter-approved land-protection initiatives including urban boundaries and open space, an attack on our 108-year-old right to voter initiative. Link to LC Position Letter. Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development Hearing on June 22! Also goes to the Assembly Committee on Local Government, date TBD.
