SB 9 allows homeowners to split a single-family lot into two lots, with each new lot required to be at least 40% of the size of the original parcel. On each new lot, property owners can develop up to two units, which may take the form of a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or two standalone units. To ensure stability in communities, homeowners must live in one of the units for at least three years following the subdivision. Additionally, SB 9 prohibits the demolition of existing affordable or rent-controlled housing, helping to prevent displacement and maintain the availability of affordable housing.

While SB 9 creates new opportunities, there are important limitations to consider. Properties must meet specific zoning criteria, and some lots may be ineligible due to local regulations or hazard zones. Local ordinances may also require additional parking spaces for new units, and properties located in sensitive environmental areas or near historic landmarks can face added restrictions. Beyond regulatory hurdles, subdividing and building involves expenses such as surveys, architectural plans, real estate agent fees, and permits; however, when ADORE Homes purchases your additional land, we cover these costs.

SB 9 is expected to increase housing supply by encouraging small-scale residential development in areas traditionally reserved for single-family homes. By allowing homeowners to subdivide their lots, the legislation aims to create more housing options in established neighborhoods without requiring large-scale apartment construction. This, in turn, could alleviate some pressure from California’s housing market, providing more affordable options for renters and buyers.
