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
Public Meetings
The Site and Architectural Commission will consider the potential rezone at their meeting on December 3, 2025 at 7:00pm at the City Hall Council Chambers, 18041 Saratoga Los Gatos Road, Monte Sereno. The meeting agenda, staff report, and Zoom link to participate in the meeting remotely is online at: https://montesereno.civicweb.net/Portal/MeetingInformation.aspx?Org=Cal&Id=7380
The Site and Architectural Commission will review the staff recommendation and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council is scheduled to consider this rezone in early 2026.
