This lot is in Berkeley’s R-1H zone. CA SB9 provisions can be used for the construction of a single-family home or a duplex, with or without ADUs. Even two single-family homes or two duplexes are possible. SB9 projects are ministerially approved (i.e. “objective, by right”), so they do not go through the UP/PH process. Since SB9 became law in California in January 2022, many SB9 projects have been approved in Berkeley’s R-1 and R-1H zones. Please contact the City of Berkeley’s Planning Department to verify and ask questions. Please review information provided below regarding SB9.
