California SB9, SB10 Info and Questions

[Kenneth Woodall]

Can anyone provide some highlights on SB9 and SB10? Here's what I believe is the case, please correct me if I'm wrong:

SB9

1. "Upzone" is allowed starting 2022: SFR zoned lots can be split into 2, and you can build 1 duplex on each (total 4 units). Each lot much be 1,200 sq ft minimum

2. No parking/garages necessary if you're within 1/2 mile from a transit stop.

SB10

1. It's easier to get approval for rezoning a lot for up to 10 units.  Cities can bypass lengthy review requirements (CA Environemtnal Quality Act)

Anyone have more info or tips to share?
