By Donna Westfall – June 17, 2021 Senate Bill SB9 has passed the State Senate and is now before the State Assembly. > It would mean the end of single-family neighborhoods throughout California. > SB 9 would force all cities to allow: > Splitting any single-family lot into two. > Two homes on each lot, thus replacing one home with four – plus ADUs (accessory dwelling unit). > Four-foot setbacks side and rear: no privacy, no backyards, no green space. > Approval without CEQA environmental review. > SB9 does not require or provide for any affordable housing. > SB9 is a gift to developers and real estate investment companies, who will maximize profits by building luxury and market-rate housing. These bills ignore: > Increased demand on schools, parks, water, sewers, power grid, public safety personnel > Traffic and parking requirements > Privacy, backyards, trees and personal green space. > Environmental impacts, including air quality and noise > Our right to determine local zoning through duly-elected representatives > If you oppose these mandates, sign the petition to your Assembly member: > AND CALL HIM NOW!
