Here's a laundry list of what we talk about in the video. I haven't time stamped it yet but if somebody else puts the time stamps in the comments I will paste it in here ASAP.
AB 2221:
Detached ADU can include a detached garage
You got 60 days
ALL YALL GOT 60 DAYS
And when you deny a permit, you gotta list all the objective reasons why in writing and give a way to remedy those
Front setbacks cannot preclude the construction of a statewide exemption ADU
2 story ADUs
SB 897:
Defining "objective standards" more clearly
Prevents cities/counties from denying a permit due to the correction of non-conforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures
Local agencies have to issue demolition permits for detached garages to be replaced with ADU
Prohibits requirements to provide written notice or post a placard for the demo of the garage
Construction of ADUs doesn't trigger a "Group R" occupancy change
Construction of ADUs can't trigger the requirement that fire sprinklers be installed in the existing primary dwelling
Broader, simpler "no parking requirements"
When the city says no, they have to say why - full list that can be remedied
JADUs without a bathroom need access to the house - was this something people were doing?
Makes it easier to legalize an unpermitted ADU built before 2018
And some funny order stuff "some parts of this bill only go into effect if AB 2221 passes too"
AB 916
City can't require a public hearing to add a bedroom or two, to an existing dwelling unit
AB 561 - This one died in committee this year, but ended up encouraging some budget changes which I'll go through in a future video.
