California AB2601 streamlines approval for urban lot splits and housing development projects in urbanized areas.

California AB2601 amends the Government Code to streamline the approval process for urban lot splits and housing development projects in urbanized areas. It mandates that local agencies must ministerially consider and approve applications for urban lot splits and housing development projects within 60 days if they meet specific criteria. The bill sets conditions for parcel maps, including size and location requirements, and prohibits local agencies from imposing certain zoning and design standards that would limit the construction of up to two units.
