CA SB940

Authorizes the City of San Jose to proactively change zoning ordinances to more intensive uses and subsequently change other zoning ordinances to less intensive uses as long as there is no net loss in residential capacity.

Requires any change to a zoning ordinance to a less intensive use occur within one year of the change to a more intensive use.

Limits the less intensive use zoning changes to "eligible parcels" that are zoned for residential uses, lack a multifamily housing general plan designation, and have zoning inconsistent with the city's January 1, 2018 general plan.

Requires the City of San Jose to report each zoning ordinance amendment establishing a less intensive use on a public website and in its annual housing report to the Legislature.

Provisions become inoperative when the City of San Jose's housing element update for the sixth cycle is due under Section 65588.
