Planning and zoning: housing development: streamlined approval and subdivisions.
Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 955, Statutes of 2026.
Summary
AB 2601 changes state law so that a city or county must approve, without a hearing, housing developments of up to two units in single‑family zones that meet set standards. It also creates a fast‑track, 60‑day, ministerial process for urban lot splits that create at most two parcels, removes the need for a Department of Real Estate public report, and limits setbacks, parking and other design rules. The changes aim to increase affordable housing supply while keeping health, safety and environmental protections.
