The State of California has passed SB 35, which requires the streamlined review of multifamily housing projects which meet certain allocations of affordable housing units within the City, and additional criteria. The Planning Department has prepared a checklist for proposed multifamily housing developments, to determine if a project is subject to a streamlined review per SB 35. In order for a project to qualify for a streamlined review, all of the checklist items must be satisfied.
Proposed multifamily projects that do not qualify for a streamlined review are subject to the review and approval of a Planned Development Permit.
