California AB2676 aims to address the housing crisis by limiting certain restrictions on housing development in urbanized areas.
California AB2676, known as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, seeks to address the state's housing shortage by restricting local governments from imposing certain limitations on housing development in urbanized areas. The act defines "affected cities" and "affected counties" as those within urbanized areas or urban clusters, as designated by the U.S. Census Bureau. It prohibits these jurisdictions from enacting policies that limit land use approvals or permits for housing construction, unless the limitation was approved by voters before January 1, 2020.
