SB-423 only applies to infill sites.

SB-423 is created to streamline housing approvals, but it only applies to infill sites. This means that for a project to qualify, at least 75% of its perimeter must be adjacent to developed urban areas.

This requirement ensures that new housing is built where infrastructure, utilities, and services are already in place, reducing the need for additional public investment. By focusing development in these areas, SB-423 helps speed up approvals, minimize environmental impacts, and make housing more accessible in growing communities.

For agents and investors, this creates significant opportunities. Agents can target areas that meet the criteria, helping clients navigate the approval process with confidence. 

Investors benefit from a clearer regulatory path, reducing risks and making projects more financially viable. 

With faster approvals and fewer barriers, SB-423 allows them to bring housing to market more efficiently, maximizing returns while contributing to much-needed urban development.
