In response to California’s ongoing housing crisis, Assemblymember Chris Ward (D-San Diego) has introduced legislation to streamline the review and issuance of post-entitlement permits needed to build new homes after a project is approved for small residential projects. AB 253 will allow developers and homeowners to enlist licensed third-party professionals to expedite the permitting process, if it would take the local building department longer than 30 days to conduct that review.
