Bill > SB6

This bill, the Middle Class Housing Act of 2022, would deem a housing development project an allowable use on a parcel zoned for office, retail, or parking if certain conditions are met, such as meeting density requirements, complying with local zoning and design standards, and using a skilled and trained workforce. The bill would require the development proponent to provide notice and relocation assistance to commercial tenants, and would allow local agencies to exempt parcels in certain circumstances. The bill would also modify the Housing Accountability Act to deem a project consistent with objective standards if it meets the requirements of the Middle Class Housing Act. The bill would require studies on the outcomes of these provisions and would become operative on July 1, 2023, and repeal on January 1, 2033.
