State Sen. Josh Becker's bill, SB457, aims to mitigate the impact of the Builder's Remedy law by ensuring that a city's housing plan is recognized as compliant the moment it receives local approval. By addressing the loophole that allows developers to propose projects exceeding local zoning limits, Becker's bill aims to stop excessive constructions, exemplified by a proposed 461-foot tower in Menlo Park. The bill requires developers to submit serious plans instead of speculative applications, promoting responsible development while still encouraging adequate housing zoning.
Sen. Becker's bill aims to streamline the housing approval process, making cities' plans effective as soon as they're approved rather than waiting for state approval.
The Builder's Remedy has resulted in excessively tall buildings, as seen in the proposed 461-foot towers in Menlo Park, highlighting the flaws in current regulations.
