Bill > AB2702

This bill expresses the Legislature's intent to create new laws aimed at making it easier and faster to get approval for residential care facilities for the elderly, which are housing options for older adults that provide care and support. Currently, local governments, like cities and counties, have planning and zoning laws that guide development, and these laws require a housing element as part of their long-term plans. While there are already processes for streamlined, ministerial approval for certain developments that meet specific objective standards, this bill signals a legislative desire to specifically address and simplify the approval process for these important elder care facilities.
