California SB1116 streamlines housing development approvals for certain lots.

California SB1116 amends the Government Code to streamline the approval process for housing development projects on specific lots. Local agencies must approve or deny applications within 60 days, with automatic approval if they do not respond. The bill exempts certain projects in ZIP Codes 91001 and 91003 and those submitted before October 1, 2026, if they meet specific conditions. It also outlines criteria for lot size, zoning, and the types of housing units allowed.
