More than 8,642 homes would be built across the region using the provision, which allows restrictions to be waived.
As of late January, developers filed 26 applications to build 8,642 new homes under California’s three-decade-old builder’s remedy provision, setting aside 1,795 of those as low-income units.
To qualify, the projects must set aside at least 20% of the units for low-income residents or all of the units must be affordable to moderate-income residents.State law requires cities and counties to plan for housing at all income levels, redrafting their housing element — a part of their general plan — every five to eight years.
Eight San Diego County jurisdictions have yet to adopt housing plans due in April 2021; and 108 jurisdictions in six other Southern California counties , have yet to adopt plans due in October 2021.
