Senate Bill - 9, specifically Govt. Code §65852.21 and §66411.7, also referred to as the Housing Opportunity & More Efficiency (HOME) Act became effective on Jan. 1, 2022. "Similar to previous state legislation on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), SB 9 overrides existing local density limits in single-family residential zones. SB 9 is intended to support increased supply of starter and modestly priced homes by encouraging building of smaller houses on existing or subdivided small lots." If you are looking to split your existing single family residentially zoned lot into two separately lots and develop, KMLT Engineering  can not only prepare you with grading permit and/or building permit civil engineering plans and reports for the construction of the new residence(s), but can also prepare your Tentative Parcel Map as required per the lot split mapping action and ministerial approval process. Should your property meet all of the requirements of eligibility for an urban lot split per SB-9 regulations and the subdivision map act, contact us today for our services.
