VIDEO: An important video about the possible loss of single-family neighborhoods by Senate Bills 9 and 10
STATE HOUSING BILLS
The State Legislature continues to try to create more housing by eliminating single family zoning and making the processes for increasing density easier for developers.
Some previous incarnations of these efforts would have had limited impact on lots in Bel-Air/Beverly Crest territory due to exemptions for very high fire hazard severity zones. Of the new bills, SB-9 has no such exemption and SB-10's exemption is conditional. Neither bill has any requirement for new development to include affordable housing.
Here is a, brief 2-minute video overview of the devastation that could happen to our neighborhoods if SB9 and/or SB10 pass. This video was prepared by the watchdog group, United Neighbors.
