Bill > AB2094

This bill makes minor, non-substantive changes to existing California law, specifically Section 65913 of the Government Code, which is part of the Planning and Zoning Law. This law requires cities and counties to create a general plan for their physical development, including a mandatory housing element. The bill's changes are to the legislative findings and declarations within this section, which acknowledge a severe shortage of affordable housing, particularly for low and moderate-income individuals and families, and emphasize the need to encourage new housing development by speeding up the development process, ensuring sufficient land is zoned for affordable housing, and requiring local governments to reduce housing development costs through incentives and regulatory changes. The existing law also notes that the costs of new housing are increased by permit processes and land use regulations, making it necessary to amend statutes to encourage the approval of needed housing developments.
