The City Council voted Tuesday, March 7, to resist “state overreach” by banning “builder’s remedy” homebuilding projects and new granny flat applications.
Huntington Beach leaders are inviting a renewed court battle over state housing laws, taking a series of actions on Tuesday, March 7, to limit homebuilding in the beachside town.
The council also voted 4-3 to extend a recent decision not to accept any new applications for backyard housing units known as accessory dwelling units, ADUs, or granny flats. The city has argued that as a charter city, Huntington Beach has greater autonomy and, therefore, isn’t subject to state housing laws.
after losing millions of dollars in state funding – one of the consequences of not having a housing element.“When Californians ask why there isn’t enough housing, why the cost of renting continues to increase or why there are so many people experiencing homelessness, I tell them to look at Huntington Beach,” Newsom said in a Feb. 13 statement.
