All applications must be filled out completely and submitted with applicable fees. If your project requires more than one application, you can fill out the General Application once, and fill out all supplemental applications as required.
Before submitting an application, please contact the Planning Division to confirm application submittal requirements.
California Senate Bill 35 (2017 Legislative session) created a streamlined and ministerial approval process for certain housing projects under Government Code §65913.4. The California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) has prepared guidelines that further explain the requirements of Government Code §65913.4., which can be accessed at the following link: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/docs/sb-35-guidelines-update-final.pdf
Invocation of SB 35 streamlining must be initiated by the project applicant and is subject to the eligibility restrictions listed in the checklist at the link below. Applicants intending to invoke the SB 35 streamlining and ministerial approval process must fill out this checklist completely and provide a full set of project plans (i.e., site plan, floor plan, demolition plan, elevations, and building cross-sections), and supporting documentation for each question, as applicable, to demonstrate eligibility, along with the required application fee. Incomplete checklists that do not include required attachments or supporting documentation will not be processed and the request will be denied.

If more than one appeal is filed on a single project, all appeals will be heard together at a single public hearing. If a person decides to withdraw their appeal and only one appeal was filed, there will be no public hearing.
If multiple individuals wish to appeal a decision for the same reasons, the individuals may file a single appeal form with each individuals signature and share the cost of the appeal. For such an appeal to be withdrawn, all persons who signed the original appeal form must submit a written request to withdraw the appeal.
