Existing law, the Housing Accountability Act, which is part of the Planning and Zoning Law, prohibits, among other things, a local agency from disapproving a housing development project or emergency shelter, or condition approval in a manner that renders the housing or emergency shelter infeasible, as specified, for a housing development project for very low, low-, or moderate-income households, or an emergency shelter, unless the local agency makes specified written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record. The act authorizes a project applicant, a person who would be eligible to apply for residency in the housing development or emergency shelter, or a housing organization to bring a lawsuit to enforce its provisions.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes those provisions.
