California AB748 establishes a preapproval program for single-family and multifamily residential housing plans in local jurisdictions.

California AB748 mandates that local agencies develop a program for preapproving single-family and multifamily residential housing plans. The program must accept plan submissions and approve or deny them based on state and local housing regulations. The bill excludes master-planned communities and large-scale developments from this preapproval requirement. Local agencies must post approved plans on their websites and may charge permitting fees. Small jurisdictions must report the number of approved units starting April 1, 2030, while large jurisdictions must report starting April 1, 2028.
