SPUR Supports AB 670, Accessory Dwelling Units in Common Interest Developments

Advocacy Letter

Creating more in-law apartments, or accessory dwelling units, is one of the important efforts that will help make a dent in California's housing shortage. SPUR supports AB 670, which would nullify prohibitions against accessory dwelling units in the governing documents for common interest developments. Since so much potential for accessory dwelling units lies in single-family neighborhoods, it is important that homeowners’ associations be stopped from creating blanket prohibitions against in-law units.
