What AB 648 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill aims to exempt community college districts from local zoning regulations when building university housing developments on their property. The exemption requires specific conditions to be met, including the inclusion of units for faculty and staff. A portion of the units must be made available at affordable rents to extremely low income and lower income faculty and staff. The changes proposed by the bill address a matter of statewide concern, so they apply to all cities, including charter cities.
