AB 1407: Planning and Zoning Law: housing elements: rezoning.
What AB 1407 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to amend the housing element in the general plan of cities and counties in California. It requires local governments to prepare and adopt a housing element that identifies adequate sites for housing and assesses housing needs. The element must also contain an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to meeting these needs. The bill extends the deadline for rezoning when an inventory of sites does not identify adequate sites to accommodate housing needs for specific household income levels. The new deadline is one year and six months from the statutory deadline for adoption of the housing element.
