CA AB2522

Requires attached housing developments to be permitted uses by right (without conditional use permits) on multifamily-zoned parcels if they meet specified affordability and location requirements.

Mandates developments provide housing for very low, low-, or moderate-income households and include replacement housing units as defined in existing law.

Allows developments on sites in the jurisdiction's residential inventory or sites that have been or will be rezoned under the housing element, with a three-year deadline for rezoning completion.

Requires developments to comply with objective, quantifiable, written development standards appropriate to meeting the jurisdiction's regional housing needs rather than all general plan and zoning standards.

Applies statewide to all cities and counties, including charter cities, finding affordable housing a matter of vital statewide importance.
