Lowering the land cost for new homes is an important strategy in building the middle. ADUs achieve this by using underutilized backyards. Subdividing parcels into smaller lots is another way to keep land costs low. Recent CA legislation, including SB 9 and SB 684, focused on simplifying the process, shortening timelines and making it more predictable.
