CA AB115

Allows housing developments to be built on commercially-zoned sites if at least 20% of units are restricted to affordable housing for lower-income households and the site is not adjacent to industrial uses and at least 75% of its perimeter adjoins developed urban properties.

Requires cities and counties to apply minimum height limits (greatest of: existing limit, height allowed within half-mile, or 36 feet), floor area ratios of at least 0.6 times the number of stories, and density limits (greatest of: nearby mixed-use/residential density or density needed for lower-income housing).

Deems qualifying housing developments consistent with local zoning codes, general plans, and development standards, and allows developers to additionally apply for density bonuses.

Applies only until jurisdictions complete rezoning requirements for the 6th revision of their housing elements, with all provisions repealing on January 1, 2031.

Applies to all cities including charter cities and declares affordable housing production a statewide concern rather than a municipal affair.
