http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcpackets/20190627_cal.pdf SENATE BILL 330: HOUSING CRISIS ACT OF 2019 – Informational Presentation – Bill establishing a statewide housing emergency until 2025, during which time certain localities would be prohibited from reducing zoned capacity for housing, reducing housing density below what is permitted under existing zoning and the General Plan for proposed projects, or imposing certain new parking and design standards. In these jurisdictions, the demolition of existing affordable housing would be prohibited unless certain conditions are met. In all localities, the bill would generally limit the number of public hearings for code-complying housing projects, expedite some review timeframes, guarantee the zoning regulations in place at the time of a first application for up to three years, and allow for localities to delay enforcement of certain building code violations for “occupied substandard buildings” at the request of the property owner.
