Welcome back to Urban Planning is Not Boring! In this episode, we cover a topic that was requested via our Instagram Stories: Zoning. We begin by defining what zoning is, what is taken into consideration within zoning codes, and discuss how the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and California Senate Bill 9 (SB9) relate to zoning.
EDITS:
The court case brought up in the beginning of the episode is Village of Euclid vs Ambler Realty Company.
RHNA is currently on the 6th cycle, not the 8th.
