California Zoning Reform Progress and Resistance

The California zoning reform legislation and what it has produced in practice

The Reform

California has passed significant zoning reform legislation: SB 9 allowing duplexes on most single-family lots statewide; SB 10 allowing municipalities to zone for up to ten units near transit; and AB 2011 allowing by-right residential development on commercially zoned land. The reforms represent the most significant state-level override of local single-family zoning restrictions in US history.

The Resistance

Many municipalities have implemented the reforms at the minimum required level, used design standards and other non-zoning tools to limit actual development enabled, and challenged the reforms in litigation. The gap between the legislative intent and the local implementation is the specific friction that state preemption of local zoning is designed to reduce and has not fully reduced.
