No. 42

An act to add Section 65852.29 to the Government Code, relating to housing.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 42, as introduced, Ramos.
Tiny homes: fire sprinkler requirements.
The Planning and Zoning Law, among other things, provides for the creation of accessory dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified standards and conditions. Existing law prohibits a local agency from requiring an accessory dwelling unit to provide fire sprinklers, if they are not required for the primary residence.
This bill would prohibit a local agency from imposing or enforcing any requirement to provide fire sprinklers for any dwelling with a total floor area of less than 500 square feet.
