Bill > AB2005

This bill makes a nonsubstantive change to existing law that requires local agencies, such as cities and counties, to ministerially approve a parcel map for an "urban lot split" if certain conditions are met, meaning approval is based on objective criteria rather than subjective judgment. An urban lot split allows for the subdivision of an existing parcel of land in an urbanized area into two new parcels, generally of similar size, with specific minimum lot size requirements. The bill clarifies that this section "shall not" be construed to alter the California Coastal Act of 1976, except that local agencies are not required to hold public hearings for coastal development permit applications for urban lot splits under this provision.
