LilMikeSF#Lawsuit Filed Vs #Sausalito For Failure To Provide Adequate #Housing Plan, The 12th Pro #BuildersRemedy Suit Since Late January Against #BayArea Cities That Failed To Meet #California Deadline
Refusal of #SFBayArea municipalities to approve new #housing has opened #BuildersRemedy #legalloophole across 95% of region. In a boon for #Yimby activists, CA law allows housing projects of any height, density, or parking options to be built as long as 20% of units are low-income or 100% meet middle-income affordability guidelines.

It's here! The 2nd and 3rd #BuildersRemedy projects in Orange County. The shopping center site in Orange was part of a proposed North Tustin Street Specific Plan for which the city had SCAG funds to do the planning work, including and EIR. The NIMBYs freaked out. The city cancelled the plan & *gave the money back.* Now they can have a #BuildersRemedy instead.

Alex GhenisFound this great website with five-unit housing designs that will fit on a single-family home lot: it's a great resource for anyone interested in taking advantage of the #BuildersRemedy zoning holidays to redevelop their property. We need more homes like this in general. https://zoningholiday.com/ #HousingCrisis #California
California cities are going on a zoning holiday!
There's a Zoning Holiday in California (you may have heard it called the Builder's Remedy). It's an opportunity when there will be a faster, easier way to get the permits you need to start building more homes on your property. The opportunity is already available in dozens of Southern California cities, and will soon be available in many Bay Area cities! Learn how to take advantage of this limited opportunity to bypass single-family only zoning and build more homes.
scott fNice work @Markasaurus! A 15-unit apartment that "could become the largest single residential building in Los Altos Hills." With what still seems to me like way too much parking, but a low ratio for the burbs I guess. #housing #zoningHoliday #buildersRemedy https://sfyimby.com/2023/02/yimby-exclusive-first-builders-remedy-plan-for-bay-area-revealed-in-los-altos-hills.html
Alameda PostBen Christopher of CalMatters reports that housing politics around the state are so complicated that most cities in the Bay Area and the rest of CA missed the Wednesday Housing Element deadline– but not the City of Alameda, which was the first to be approved.
