Summary
- Creates an exception to the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 for the City of San Jose, allowing the city to proactively rezone property to a more intensive use and apply the resulting added residential capacity to later downzone an eligible parcel provided there is no net loss in residential capacity.
- Requires that any rezoning to a less intensive use occur within one year of the corresponding rezoning to a more intensive use.
- Imposes transparency and reporting requirements by mandating that San Jose publicly post each qualifying downzoning ordinance on an internet website and include the information in its annual hosting element report.
