What are the requirements for development under Tustin’s SB 9 Ordinance?

SB 9 FAQ 3

Tustin’s SB 9 Ordinance applies to single family residentially zoned parcels. For Urban Lot Splits, the property must be owned by the applicant for a period of three years; and for Two-unit Developments, the units may not be used for short-term rentals. 

Additional provisions include:

  • The SB 9 Ordinance does require dedications or off-site improvements for both types of developments.
  • The City may only require one parking space per unit, and a project is exempted from parking requirements when the parcel is located within ½ mile of high quality transit.
