Housing Law Update
Restrictions on Local Control
Russell Hildebrand
Deputy City Attorney
Meeting Date: March 9, 2026
5 Housing Topics
• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s)
• SB-9 Urban Lot Splits & Two-Unit Development
• SB 330 – Housing Crisis Act
• SB 35 – Streamlined Approval Process
• Density Bonus Law
• Summary of Limitations to Local Control
• What Can Cities do to Address Loss of Local
Control
6 How do These Laws Limit Local Control
• Shifts project review toward a byright, objective approval framework governed primarily by
State law rather than local control
• Speed up project processing times
• Require application of only
objective standards
• Lock development standards and
fees in place
• Prevent downzoning
• Allow for reduced parking
requirements
• Allow for increased density beyond
what is allowed under existing land
use/zoning
• Local governments must approve
waivers or reductions of
development standards that would
physically preclude construction of
the project at the allowed density
bonus
7 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
Background
• Since approximately 2016 the Legislature has continued to lower barriers or remove barriers to housing development for ADU’s
• ADU Def: An ADU is accessory to the primary residence and has complete independent living facilities. Can be attached, detached or can be included within the primary dwelling, or an existing accessory structure can be converted to an ADU.
• JADU Def: A JADU is a unit that is not more than 500 sq.ft. in size and is contained entirely within the home. Can include shared or separate sanitation facilities.
8 Key Components of CA ADU Law
Number of ADU’s/JADU’s on a Lot
- One JADU home, one converted ADU home, and one detached ADU home on a lot with an existing or proposed single family home (4 total units). 9 Key Components of CA ADU Law cont.
ADU’s on Multifamily Lots (SB 1211):
- Starting in 2025 multi-family (Apartments) dwellings could add 8 detached ADU’s, provided they do not exceed the number of existing Units. - Non-livable space can be converted up to 25% of the existing number of units 10 Key Components of CA ADU Law cont.
• Unpermitted Unit Legalization (AB 2533) – Makes it easier unpermitted ADU’s built before January 1, 2020 to be legalized. Cities required to have a check list of compliance items to bring ADU into conformance. • Parking Changes (SB 1211/1077) – Largely eliminates the ability for cities to require replacement parking for garage conversion to an ADU. Exception:
when replacement parking is required consistent with the Coastal Act to maintain public access parking.
• Shot Clock (SB 543) – reduces completeness review times for ADU and JADU applications from 30 days to 15 days. Also, imposes a 60-day timeline to approve to deny the application once complete (Planning and Building approval).
11 SB 9 Urban Lot Splits & Two-Unit Development
January 1, 2022 – effective date for SB 9.
Urban Lot Splits. Allows homeowners to subdivide one single-family lot into two, with each lot capable of holding up to two units.
Two-Unit Development: Allows for the construction of two primary units on a single-family lot, in addition to or instead of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Ministerial Approval: Projects that meet objective zoning, subdivision, and design standards must be approved without public hearings or discretionary reviews.
12 SB 9 cont.
Owner Occupancy: Applicants typically need to sign an affidavit saying they intend to live in one of the units for at least three years.
Design Standards: Local agencies can impose objective standards but cannot enforce requirements that preclude the development of 800-square-foot units.
Separate Sale: SB 9 allows for the separate sale of the new lot and home, unlike most ADUs.
Demolition of Rental Units? SB 9 prohibits the demolition of units that are currently rented or have been rented by low-income tenants in the last three years.
13 Key Components of SB 9 cont.
SB 9 Lot Development: SB 9 allows for up to 4-unts to be built on one SFR lot.
Two Unit Development – No Lot Split
• PD = primary dwelling
• A = accessory dwelling unit
• J = junior accessory dwelling unit
PD = primary dwelling
A = accessory dwelling unit
J = junior accessory dwelling unit
14 Key Components of SB 9 cont.
SB 9 Lot Development:
With Lot Split
Lot splits can include development of one or two Primary Dwellings, one Primary Dwelling and one ADU or JADU per lot or no development on one lot.
PD = primary dwelling
A = accessory dwelling unit
J = junior accessory dwelling unit
15 SB 330 Housing Crisis Act of 2019

SB 8 (2021)
• Clarifies and updates SB 330
• Extends the Housing Crisis Act from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2030 16 SB 330 Streamlining and Certainty for Projects
Streamlined Processing

23 State Density Bonus Law
Incentives for Affordable and Special-Needs Housing
Purpose
• Encourage production of affordable housing statewide
• Increase housing supply by allowing additional development capacity How It Works
• Developers may build more units than normally permitted under local zoning
• Applies when projects include:
• Affordable housing units
• Senior housing
• Qualifying special-needs housing
24 State Density Bonus Law
Incentives for Affordable and Special-Needs Housing
Policy Intent
• Reduce local barriers to affordable housing
• Limit discretionary decision-making
• Require approvals based on objective standards
25 Density Bonus Example
• A project zoned for 40 units includes
the required percentage of affordable
units
• Developer qualifies for a density
bonus and is allowed to build 50–55
units
• Parking requirements are reduced
below local minimums, allowing more
units or smaller site footprint
Height or Setback Modification
• Project requests additional height or
reduced setbacks
• Concession allows better building
layout and increased unit yield while
meeting affordability requirements
• Local Standard waived (Lot cov.,
setbacks)
• Waiver required because standards
preclude allowed density
26 How Can Cities Address Reduction of Local Control
• Adopt clear, well-crafted objective development
standards (height, massing, setbacks, design
elements) that reflect community character
• Update zoning and general plan land use
designations to proactively define where and how
density is appropriate.
• Use objective design standards and possibly formbased codes to guide building form, scale and aesthetics.
27 How Can Cities Address Reduction of Local Control
• Pre-zone sites at realistic densities that align with infrastructure capacity, hazard constraints and community priorities.
• Strengthen infrastructure planning and impact fee
programs to address service demands and capacity from
higher density development
• Train staff and decision-makers on State housing law
to ensure consistent, defensible application of objective standards.

I met with partner agencies, including Northern Inyo Healthcare District (NIHD) and Caltrans, to discuss local projects and programs that require coordination across jurisdictions. These meetings are important to ensure alignment on infrastructure improvements, transportation matters, and community-serving initiatives that impact the City and the broader region.
Progress continued on the Parks Master Plan. I met locally with the consultant team to conduct a parks system assessment and review existing conditions throughout our facilities. The community survey was also released, providing residents the opportunity to give meaningful input that will help shape priorities and long-term planning for our park.
I attended the Cal Cities City Managers Conference, which provided valuable opportunities to engage with peers, learn about emerging legislative and regulatory issues, and gather best practices that can be applied locally to improve City operations and service delivery.
I also met with the Bishop Area Chamber of Commerce and representatives from the Business Resource Center and Sierra Business Council to discuss economic development opportunities and strategies to support local businesses and sustainable growth within the community.
Work continues to move forward on the Silver Peaks project, with ongoing coordination and review to advance progress consistent with City requirements and development objectives.
City staff worked diligently to address snow removal, facility impacts, and operational adjustments to maintain public safety and continuity of services. I appreciate the responsiveness and teamwork across departments during this period. 43 JANUARY 2026

General Plan 2025 Annual Progress Report
A Year in Review
Each year, the City of Bishop is required to prepare an annual progress report to the City Council, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) (sec. 65400(b)) providing a summary of the City’s progress towards implementing the General Plan in accordance with adopted goals, policies, and action items.
Over the past year, the City of Bishop has continued efforts towards the implementation of long-term community visions and goals, including implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan and Mixed-Use Overlay and Economic Development Elements goals, park improvements, kicking off the Land Use and Parking Study to identify land for housing development, and coordination with non-profit housing partners on applications for affordable housing funding, homelessness prevention, and safe emergency shelters.
The following report summarizes actions and projects completed during 2025 towards the implementation of the City of Bishop General Plan.
Background
The City of Bishop is the only incorporated city in Inyo County. Bishop has a geographic area of approximately two square miles and a current population of 3,879 (US Census).
Bishop’s City Council, Planning Commission, and Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee hold regular meetings encouraging implementation of the General Plan and its various elements (the Water and Sewer Commission was disbanded in 2020).
The City of Bishop is required by State law to have a legally adequate General Plan (Government Code sec. 65300 et seq), which primarily addresses the physical development of the City. As part of its General Plan, the City must include the following seven elements: 1) Land Use, 2) Circulation, 3) Housing, 4) Conservation, 5) Open Space, 6) Noise, 7) Safety (sec. 65301(c)). The City’s General Plan also includes three optional elements: Economic Development, Public Services/Facilities, and Parks/Recreation.
Analysis
The City has a current 2021-2029 Housing Element. The City’s Mobility Element Update was completed early in 2012, and the Land Use Element and Municipal Code are scheduled for review and updating over the next few years (depending on funding availability). The City will also be working on a comprehensive General Plan update to meet legislative requirements as staffing and funding allow. 105
The following discussion summarizes the status and the implementation progress of individual Elements during the calendar year 2025.
Land Use Element
The Land Use Element establishes the framework to direct the physical development of the City and to form the organization of the City’s environment. The Land Use Element establishes the function and form of the City because it is a composite statement of the goal, strategies, and actions of the other elements of the General Plan. It serves as the primary vehicle for ensuring the logical organization of residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities and services. The Land Use Element also provides the public decision-makers and residents with a guide in understanding the long-range intentions in the City. The Land Use Element designates the location and extent of land categories such as housing, business, industry, public facilities, and open space. It includes the City’s land use goals and policies, and a land use map designating land accordingly. The progress toward implementation of the Land Use Element includes the continued processing of development applications throughout the community.
During the 2025 calendar year, the City:
• Received Prohousing Designation Program from California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
• Completed Bishop Community Garden project, California Urban Greening Grant. • The City continues to partner with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to identify additional properties that could potentially be made available for purchase, consistent with goals to provide diverse and attractive housing stock.
• Permitted new housing units through “encouraging infill and redevelopment of existing private land.”
• Implemented signage enforcement and facilitated Downtown Beautification to remove non-compliant signage based on the recently adopted Bishop Municipal Code Chapter 85 Entitled “Signage.”
• Kicked off City Parks Masterplan Project.
Economic Development
The purpose of the Economic Development Element is to identify the most impactful goals leveraging the strengths of Bishop to allow the existing business to flourish, attract and encourage investment in Bishop, and support a vibrant, sustainable economy. The vision of the Economic Development Element is: “To be a regional economic and commercial hub with a multitude of services for both residents and visitors. Bishop strives to be a diverse, well-rounded, welcoming, sustainable, vibrant community that collaboratively promotes its unique Eastern Sierra location and provides year-round 106
business and outdoor recreation opportunities.” The five guiding goals of the Economic Development Element encompass generally: downtown revitalization, regional promotion of the Eastern Sierra, investment in existing and new businesses – including expansion and adoption of broadband capabilities, strengthening Bishop’s educational, healthcare, and retail sectors, and securing reliable, regional air service at the Bishop Airport.
During the 2025 calendar year, the City:
• Updated the City-Wide Strategic Plan for 2025-2028.
• Approved variance for Bishop Climbing and Fitness Gym • Approved permits for Bishop Inn hotel, which started construction in January 2026 • Worked with downtown business owners and the Chamber of Commerce on Downtown Beautification Grant applications and facilitated the execution of 8 façade and signage improvement projects.
Mobility
The Mobility Element of the General Plan sets out the desired goals and strategies for enhancing mobility in and near the City. It is closely coordinated with the Land Use, Housing, Noise, and Public Facilities Elements of the General Plan in recognition of the interrelationships between them. The Mobility Element includes all travel modes, addressing mobility in the context of driving, cycling, walking, and accessibility to transit and air services. Along with the other elements of the General Plan, it focuses on the economic stability and vitality of the City, while providing for safe and efficient means of travel within the City and adjacent areas. The Mobility Element sets out the desired goals and strategies for enhancing mobility in and near the City. The improvement of existing facilities and the construction of new facilities can further the purpose of the Mobility Element.
During the 2025 calendar year, the City:
• Received 9MI in grant funding for new bike lanes and sidewalks under Cycle 9 Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities Program (AHSC). • Added Chapter 10.54 relating to Electric Bicycles, electric scooters, and electric motorized boards.
• Collaborated with Caltrans on their Bishop Pavements Project to improve the sidewalk landscaping and furniture on Main Street throughout the downtown core. • Continued the final design for South Warren Street, Lagoon Street, and South Street improvements.
• Continued design documentation for the East Line Bridge Project, which proposes replacing the existing 18.5-foot span, 30-foot-wide structure with a new bridge 107
featuring a 30-foot span and 60-foot width on East Line Street at the Bishop Creek Canal.
Housing
The City’s growth is constrained on all four sides: on the north, east, and south by properties owned by other public entities; and on the west by the Bishop Paiute Indian Reservation. Bishop has approximately four hundred acres of undeveloped land of varying zoning designations. However, the City is constrained in planning for their future use because these lands are owned by LADWP for the provision of water to the City of Los Angeles and are not available for development. Existing available residential vacant land within the City limits is minimal – in fact, there are only approximately 2.72 acres of private, residentially zone land in the City of Bishop.
In 2018, the City negotiated an agreement with the LADWP for the release of approximately three acres of land for affordable housing development. The property was transferred to a non-profit limited partnership in 2020 for the construction of approximately 70 affordable housing units. The City of Bishop is working with the nonprofit developer to secure necessary grant and loan funding through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Grant to begin construction. Eastern Sierra. • Continued City of Bishop Parking Demand and Land Use Study to identify sites to be released under the Surplus Land Act for affordable housing development. • Applied for Phase II environmental on the City-owned brownfield site. • Received award for 60-unit affordable housing development, Silver Peaks under AHSC Cycle 9.
• The City is supporting Silver Peaks Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Cycle 6 application for affordable housing and active transportation improvements in the City of Bishop.

th, 2026, The Community Services Department advertised a request for bids on the Bishop Courts Resurfacing Project. On February 25
th, 2026, at 2pm sealed bids were
opened. Three bids were received and the bid analysis was conducted. After bid review, several bidding irregularities were noted in the two lowest bid proposals, resulting in their nonresponsiveness to the bidding instructions. The third and highest bid was much higher than anticipated by the engineer’s estimation.
Analysis/Discussion:
Through consultation between the City Attorney's Office and the Community Services Manager, staff recommends rejecting all bids and seeking Council authority to rebid.
The recommendation proceeds out of an abundance of caution in safeguarding the public interest and is expressly authorized by Public Contracts Code Sections 20166 and 22038, and City of Bishop Municipal Code Section 3.25.060, which state the City Council may reject all bids and readvertise in its discretion. Such recommended action is in furtherance of the public interest as it enables the city to re-evaluate its cost estimates for the project and further refine the bid specifications and requirements to facilitate more accurate and responsive bids.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
This project was identified as a priority for the Community Services Department in the Strategic Plan.
Budget Impacts:
There are nominal budget impacts only, as this Project will require staff time to prepare documents.
