Summary

Creates a streamlined, ministerial approval process for residential and mixed-use developments within specific cities impacted by the Camp Fire. By making the process ministerial, eligible projects are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and do not require a conditional use permit, provided they meet objective planning standards. These provisions would be repealed as of January 1, 2026.
Local governments must notify developers of any conflicts with objective standards within a set timeframe; otherwise, the project is deemed compliant.
Approvals are valid for three years. If a project includes affordable housing investments, the approval does not expire. Other projects may receive a one-year extension, provided vertical construction has begun.
Cities cannot impose automobile parking requirements if the development is located within half a mile of a major transit stop or high-quality bus corridor.
Local agencies are prohibited from creating unique requirements specifically targeting projects that use this streamlined process.
