California AB2601 streamlines approval for housing developments on urban lot splits.

California AB2601 amends the Government Code to streamline the approval process for housing developments on urban lot splits. Local agencies must approve or deny applications within 60 days, with automatic approval if no action is taken. The bill sets specific criteria for eligible developments, including parcel size, zoning, and the avoidance of protected species habitats and hazardous waste sites. It also outlines conditions for building permits and the sale or lease of resulting parcels.
