California SB543 streamlines permitting for accessory and junior accessory dwelling units.

California SB543 amends the Government Code to simplify the permitting process for accessory and junior accessory dwelling units. It mandates that permit applications for these units be approved without discretionary review or a hearing, provided they meet certain criteria. The bill sets specific requirements for unit size, setbacks, and height, and prohibits local agencies from imposing additional fees or requirements that are not explicitly authorized.
