California AB1061 amends urban lot split regulations to prioritize historical preservation and streamline approval processes.

California AB1061 amends urban lot split regulations to ensure that local agencies must ministerially approve certain housing developments without discretionary review or a hearing. These developments must be within a single-family residential zone, not located in historic districts, and not require demolition of contributing structures. Local agencies may impose objective zoning and design standards but cannot require offsite improvements or exceed two residential units.
