description: "(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan that contains specified mandatory elements, including a housing element. That law requires that the housing element include, among other things, an inventory of land suitable for residential development, as specified, and requires that the inventory be used to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and that are sufficient to provide for the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need for all income levels. Until December 31, 2023, that law requires a county that is in the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont California Metropolitan Statistical Area and that has a population of less than 400,000 to be considered suburban for purposes of determining the densities appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households. That law requires these counties to utilize the sums existing in their housing trust funds as of June 30, 2013, for affordable housing, as specified. For that same purpose, existing law requires a city that has a population of less than 100,000 and is incorporated within that county to be considered suburban and requires a county or city so classified to make 2 reports, as specified, to the Legislature and the Department of Housing and Community Development. Until December 31, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Law also requires that housing density requirements in place on June 30, 2014, apply within ½ mile of a Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit station."

# California SB 106 (20172018) — State Government.

(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan that contains specified mandatory elements, including a housing element. That law requires that the housing element include, among other things, an inventory of land suitable for residential development, as specified, and requires that the inventory be used to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and that are sufficient to provide for the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need for all income levels. Until December 31, 2023, that law requires a county that is in the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont California Metropolitan Statistical Area and that has a population of less than 400,000 to be considered suburban for purposes of determining the densities appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households. That law requires these counties to utilize the sums existing in their housing trust funds as of June 30, 2013, for affordable housing, as specified. For that same purpose, existing law requires a city that has a population of less than 100,000 and is incorporated within that county to be considered suburban and requires a county or city so classified to make 2 reports, as specified, to the Legislature and the Department of Housing and Community Development. Until December 31, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Law also requires that housing density requirements in place on June 30, 2014, apply within ½ mile of a Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit station.
