AB 2127: Accessory dwelling units: private sewage disposal systems.
The bill would allow local agencies to permit accessory dwelling units in areas with private sewage disposal systems without prohibiting them solely due to this reason. It would also exempt local health officers from requiring minimum lot size requirements if the private sewage disposal system meets state standards. Furthermore, the bill would prevent the installation of new systems as a condition of approval if an existing private system is functioning properly and can handle the additional load of an accessory dwelling unit. This would impose new duties on local agencies, making it a state-mandated local program.
