SB 1123 is a California law that allows small residential communities to be created on parcels that are zoned for single family homes. It gives property owners a way to create up to ten primary homes on a single family parcel through a streamlined and ministerial approval process.
The goal of SB 1123 is to unlock more housing on underused single family land without requiring long hearings or discretionary reviews. If a project meets the eligibility standards the city must process the subdivision using a clear consistent and predictable approval pathway.
A key benefit of SB 1123 is that the ten unit limit applies only to the primary homes. Accessory Dwelling Units also called ADUs do not count toward the ten unit maximum. This means a project can include ten primary homes plus additional ADUs when allowed by local and state ADU rules.
SB 1123 focuses on gentle neighborhood scale communities. The law allows smaller parcels than most cities usually require. As long as each new parcel is at least six hundred square feet and can safely support access and utilities it qualifies under the state rules. This flexibility makes it possible to create compact clusters, cottage courts and other missing middle style homes directly within single family zoning.
SB 1123 provides transformative benefits for infill housing including
This law is ideal for families, investors and builders who want to create thoughtful community oriented housing in areas that were previously limited to only one home per lot.
