Bill > SB1211

This bill amends sections of the California Government Code related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The key provisions include: 1) Prohibiting local agencies from requiring the replacement of uncovered parking spaces that are demolished for the construction or conversion of an ADU. 2) Prohibiting local agencies from imposing any objective development or design standards on ADUs that meet certain requirements, such as being attached to or within an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling. 3) Defining "livable space" for the purposes of ADU regulations and increasing the number of detached ADUs allowed on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling. 4) Requiring local agencies to ministerially approve certain types of ADUs and junior ADUs, and prohibiting them from requiring the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions as a condition of approval. 5) Providing that no state reimbursement is required for the local program mandates created by the bill.
