SB 330 – The Housing Crisis Act

SB 330, as amended, allows qualifying housing development applicants who submit a complete preliminary application to the City of Culver City to “lock in” (vest) development standards and fees in place at the time of submittal of a complete preliminary application and applicable processing fees. In addition, SB 330 requires that no more than 5 public hearings can be held in conjunction with review of a qualifying project. This process provides the developer with greater certainty regarding development requirements for an anticipated development while they gather all materials necessary for a full application submittal. SB 330 housing development projects are subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

SB 35 – Affordable Housing Streamlining

SB 35, as amended, allows qualifying affordable housing projects to request a streamlined ministerial approval process, exempted from discretionary review and from CEQA. Projects invoking SB 35 must dedicate at least 50% of base units as affordable to low income households, and meet all SB 35 eligibility requirements pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.4.
