The purpose of this Chapter is to implement California Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), the "Housing Crisis Act of 2019," as codified in Government Code Section 66300 to insure that the City does not approve a Housing Development Project, as defined herein, that would have the effect of reducing the zoned capacity for housing of the City as it existed on January 1, 2018; or which would result in the demolition of existing housing units unless those units are replaced on at least a one (1) to one (1) ratio; and in the case of exiting low income units, that such units are only demolished if they are replaced, and that certain conditions related to affordability and tenant protections are met. It is the express intent of the City Council that this Chapter remain effective despite the possible expiration of Government Code Section 66300.
