On July 1, 2024, Senate Bill 684 (SB 684) became state law. It requires local agencies to ministerially consider, without discretionary review or a hearing, certain parcel maps or tentative and final maps for certain housing development projects. Among other things, a qualifying subdivision must result in 10 or fewer parcels and the housing development project on the lot proposed to be subdivided must contain 10 or fewer residential units.
Effective July 1, 2025, SB 1123 updates sections of SB 684. Starting July 1, use the updated resources provided below that incorporate the changes made by SB 1123.
These resources are meant to help staff implement SB 684 and SB 1123 and process applications. The Model Ordinance provides template language for jurisdictions to implement the law. The Template Application Review Checklist can be used to review applications and ensure that a proposed subdivision and housing development meets all requirements of SB 684 and 1123.
