Update zoning laws to allow more housing types as required by state law
In Plain English
California requires cities to update their housing plans every 8 years to address the housing shortage. Richmond adopted its 6th cycle housing plan and now must change local zoning rules to match. The changes will allow more housing types in certain areas and remove barriers to building affordable housing.
