CA SB765

Modifies streamlined housing development approval process by requiring skilled and trained workforce certification if development has residential component that is not 100% subsidized affordable housing, regardless of unit count thresholds.

Changes affordable housing requirements to trigger when locality's production report shows fewer units issued building permits for very low or low-income households by income category than required, with projects dedicating 50% of units to below 80% area median income households.

Requires developers to commit to record land use restrictions prior to first building permit issuance ensuring lower income housing units remain affordable for 55 years (rental) or 45 years (ownership).

Adds requirement that streamlined developments be consistent with objective subdivision standards and exempts subdivision applications from California Environmental Quality Act requirements if project meets prevailing wage and skilled workforce criteria.

Exempts state and local government actions to lease, convey, encumber, or provide financial assistance for streamlined housing developments and homeless shelters from California Environmental Quality Act review.
