Fees, fees, fees. Recently read about an SB1123 project in Santa Monica that was canned because of nearly $500K in “affordable housing” fees.

Allow TOC incentives to apply to SB1123 projects? SB1123 seems to have flown under the radar but it sounds wild to me. Like can you add ADUs to SB1123 homes? SB9 the newly created parcels?

ADU reform was effectively a back door upzoning of SFZ. This has been followed up with bills like SB9 and SB1123

This fire survivor thinks he has a greater right to the neighborhood land *he doesn't own* than the larger number of people that would be able to live there if sb1123 were followed.

Fourth, you’re going to use SB1123 to subdivide each vacant lot into 10, 2,000 sq ft lots. You will need to repeat this process five times for each lot.
This should be much quicker and cheaper than step two.

Since most new homes built in Berkeley are rental apartments, there's a shortage of homes for sale. As a result, townhouses are likely to be popular under Middle Housing.
Using state law SB684/SB1123, a lot can be subdivided so that each townhouse is on its own piece of land. 10/

Varied a bit but pre-progress required IZ or in-lieu fee on anything larger than 2 units, progress was reducing this to anything larger than 5 units for SB684/SB1123 projects, and post-progress was snapping this back to original policy.

How much pushback is expected there? I should think the ICC will whisper in some ears. But four-story townhouses versus three-story feels minor & making them duplexes makes it worth the trade-off IMO. More SB1123 projects

Are they relatively new, or from a while ago? With SB1123/SB684 (allowing up to 10 homes per lot) + AB2097 (removes parking requirements near transit), I can see this design becoming very popular across California.

You can use SB1123 on a single family lot too if you leave a remainder parcel. You can't typically ADUs with 684/1123 projects though (but you'd already max out the lot before you hit that point)

Has LA put that in writing anywhere? I know that sb1123 isn't even live yet but could you get the whole thing with all the new houses and ADUs approved/permitted in one go?
