California AB660 aims to streamline the approval process for housing development projects and emergency shelters by limiting local agencies' ability.

California AB660, known as the Housing Accountability Act, seeks to address the state's housing crisis by ensuring that local agencies cannot unreasonably delay or deny housing development projects and emergency shelters. The bill mandates that local agencies must base their decisions on objective, quantifiable, and written development standards. It prohibits local agencies from imposing fees and conditions that are not in effect at the time of the preliminary application submission.
