Committee continues SB 9 hearing after caller raises legal challenge question
Summary
The committee continued a hearing on permitting time frames and barriers under California Senate Bill 9 to the call of the chair; a caller from the Coalition for San Francisco Neighborhoods urged the continuance, noting SB 9's applicability to charter cities is under legal challenge.
The Land Use & Transportation Committee continued a Nov. 14 hearing on permitting time frames and systemic barriers small property owners face when building accessory dwelling units and other units under California Senate Bill 9.
Clerk Erica Major said the item would be continued at the sponsor’s request but public comment would be taken on the continuance. Eileen Bogan of the Coalition for San Francisco Neighborhoods called in to support the continuance and noted that whether SB 9 applies to charter cities like San Francisco is the subject of ongoing legal challenge.
Following public comment the committee voted 3–0 to continue the matter to the call of the chair. The action is procedural: the committee did not take additional testimony or adopt policy changes during the session.
