SB 330 Explanation

Senate Bill SB 330 (The Housing Crisis Act of 2019) allows for an applicant to submit a preliminary application for a housing development project. SB 330 has two key phases: a pre application phase and a formal submittal phase. The purpose of the pre-application is to collect specific site and project information to determine the zoning, design, subdivision, and fee requirements that will apply to the housing development project throughout the review and entitlement process. Once a compliant SB 330 pre-application is submitted, the project can only be subject to those land use regulations that are adopted and in effect on the date the compliant pre-application is submitted. With a few narrow exceptions, the City is prohibited from applying new ordinances, policies, standards and/or fees to the development. In addition, once a formal application is complete, the City is limited to five total hearings on the project.

The City can ask for only certain information during the pre-application phase as set forth in California Government Code Section 65941.1. The applicant must submit a formal application for a development project within 180 calendar days of submitting a complete pre-application.
