CA SB902

Authorizes local governments to pass ordinances zoning parcels for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel in transit-rich areas, jobs-rich areas, or urban infill sites, overriding local restrictions on zoning ordinances including voter initiatives.

Defines "transit-rich area" as a parcel within one-half mile of a major transit stop or on a high-quality bus corridor with specified service frequency requirements.

Requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to identify and publish a map of "jobs-rich areas" every 5 years beginning January 1, 2022, based on high opportunity tracts that are jobs rich or enable shorter commute distances.

Defines "urban infill site" as a legal parcel in an urbanized area where at least 75 percent of the perimeter adjoins developed urban uses and the site is zoned for residential use or mixed-use development.

Specifies that ordinances adopted under these provisions do not constitute a "project" requiring environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
