The City of Monte Sereno is preparing a Senate Bill (SB) 10 Ordinance, which is required as part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element, adopted in May 2024. Two lots were identified for rezoning according to SB 10 regulations, which allow these parcels to potentially be developed with up to 10 units each.
What is SB 10?
The goal of SB 10 is to streamline housing developments by allowing cities in California to allow different development types. This means that through SB 10, the City can rezone parcels to allow up to 10 residential units on one lot. If you would like to learn more about SB 10 and the possible housing types that it will facilitate, please refer to the project webpage: https://www.montesereno.org/2373/SB10-Rezone
Program Q Process
The process of adopting SB 10 will include public hearings with the Site and Architectural Commission and the City Council. More information about these meetings will be available, once they are scheduled.
In addition, the City will develop a process for interested property owners to request rezoning for their property to allow for SB 10 housing. More details will be provided about the rezoning process at future community outreach and engagement events.
