CaliforniaLocal planners would add elderly care and surplus-land data to housing reports
If signed, local planning agencies would add elderly care and surplus-land information to yearly housing reports, with some rules depending on SB 1116.
What it does
Local planners may count approved elderly congregate housing and residential care units in annual housing reports, up to 15 percent of the local housing need.
Cities and counties would have to include required surplus-land inventory and disposal information in their yearly housing reports.
A separate version of the reporting rules would apply only if SB 1116 also takes effect by January 1, 2027 and is enacted first; it would add project data starting in 2028.
Argument forMore complete reports could help local officials track whether elderly care housing contributes to their regional housing goals.
Argument againstLocal planning agencies may face more reporting work because annual reports would include surplus-land records and additional project details.
More detail
A planning agency may include approved elderly care units in its annual housing report. The option covers congregate housing for elderly people and residential care facilities for elderly people. The facility types must be included in the region’s housing-need calculation. The reported units may count for up to 15 percent of the jurisdiction’s housing-need allocation in any income category. This applies for the seventh and each later revision of the housing element, which is the housing part of a general plan.
A city or county must include its required surplus-land inventory and disposal information in its annual housing report. The requirement covers information that cities and counties must keep in their central surplus-land inventories and report to the state housing department. The report must include the information required under the surplus-land reporting law. The information is included in the annual report required by April 1 each year.
If the stated SB 1116 conditions are met, the alternative version of the annual-report rules would operate instead of this bill’s first version. The alternative rules would add reporting about housing projects under Sections 65852.28 and 66499.41, including applications, approvals or denials, permits, units built, and income categories. Both bills must be enacted and effective on or before January 1, 2027. Both bills must amend Section 65400 of the Government Code. AB 1567 must be enacted after SB 1116. The added project information would begin with the report due April 1, 2028, if the conditions are met.
