AB 2118: Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022: use by right: objective standards.
What AB 2118 does, verified August 29, 2026
The Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act would amend the government code to allow for "use by right" housing developments along commercial corridors. These developments must meet specified site and affordability criteria and objective development standards. The bill would also prohibit the objective standards from limiting mixed-use development and impose a state-mandated local program. The changes would address a matter of statewide concern, making them applicable to all cities. The state would not be required to reimburse local agencies for certain costs associated with implementing these changes.
