CA AB1308

Prohibits public agencies from increasing minimum parking requirements as a condition of approval for projects that remodel, renovate, or add to single-family residences, provided the project does not exceed maximum size limits in zoning regulations.

Applies to all public agencies including state agencies, cities, counties, charter cities, and special districts.

Includes legislative findings that mandatory parking minimums increase housing costs, reduce available units, create parking oversupply, and increase greenhouse gas emissions, requiring interpretation favoring the prohibition.

Does not allow local agencies to impose parking restrictions more restrictive than those authorized under Section 65852.2 for single-family residences on the same lot as accessory dwelling units.

Became effective October 11, 2023; no state reimbursement required as local agencies have authority to levy fees sufficient to implement the mandate.
