Spoke too soon. 🤦‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/trop...

Oof, actually it's worse, in 1123 the 10 unit cap has a carve out for ADUs/JADUs but presumably not SB9 dwellings. So no urban sites over 21,780sf would qualify, yikes. Will send you an e-mail.

At 1 unit per parcel, max lot size is 21,780sf. With SB9 (if allowed) and 2 units, max is 43,560sf. Previously multifamily parcels up to 65,340sf were eligible (with ADUs + JADUs), but now 43,560sf will be the absolute limit, assuming SB9 units are allowed and counted towards minimum density.

Fix it to be worse I guess? This will significantly reduce the number of allowable sites, particularly in multifamily zones that previously could have counted both ADUs and JADUs towards minimum densities. I'm working on a SFZ site now that needs JADUs counted to meet minimum densities.

So ADUs can no longer count against the minimum densities? That's directly opposite of the LA implementation memo. But maybe they can be SB9 two unit developments instead and that could satisfy the minimum densities?

And of course that blows any ministerial timelines out of the water.

Especially since local municipalities don't have to allow ADUs. L.A. at least clarified that it counts ADUS towards the density number.

I'm working on a vacant 1.25 acre SFZ 1123 project that, at 20 units, would be below allowable minimum density. 1.25 vacant acres are allowed, but 20 units is not dense enough??

We probably can salvage it with required dedications and a remainder parcel, but it's absurd.

In the L.A. 1123 memo remainder parcels and required dedications don't count against the density calculation, which can salvage larger parcels for SHRA. I'm working on a 1.25 acre 1123 project now...1.25 vacant acres is allowable density, but 20 units = not enough density. Make it make sense!
