Recent amendments to the California Environmental Quality Act through Assembly Bill 130 and Senate Bill 131 exempt infill housing projects under 85 feet from CEQA reviews. These changes eliminate prevailing wage and affordability requirements, establishing minimum density requirements of 15 units per acre in urban areas and 10 units in suburban locations. Housing advocates and developers view these changes as a boost for affordable housing development, allowing for expedited project approvals and potential increases in financing options. The reforms mark a significant shift in California's development landscape.
The passage of Assembly Bill 130 and Senate Bill 131 has been hailed as industry-shaking reform for CEQA, offering infill housing projects under 85 feet high an exemption from review.
Housing advocates and developers benefit from the changes, as they increase options for moving projects forward and can potentially unlock additional financing opportunities.
