MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • "By Right" Approval Process - The Budget sets aside $400 million General Fund for affordable housing programs, the expenditure of which is contingent upon the passage of a "by right" approval process for affordable housing. Under a "by right" process, a local government could not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary local government review for qualifying affordable housing projects. "By right" approval applies to projects that are consistent with objective general plan and zoning standards and, where applicable, are subject to mitigating measures to address potential environmental harm.
