DECIPHERING THE DISTINCTION: SB-9 AND SB-10 IN MISSION HILLS

Mission Hills, a charming neighborhood in San Diego, is known for its historic architecture, tree-lined streets, and vibrant community. Recently, the introduction of Senate Bills SB-9 and SB-10 has generated discussions and raised questions among residents. These bills, aimed at addressing California’s housing crisis, have implications for the neighborhood’s character and development. In this article, we delve into the key differences between SB-9 and SB-10 and their impact on Mission Hills.

SB-9: Unlocking the Potential for Duplexes and Lot Splits

Senate Bill 9, signed into law in 2021, focuses on increasing housing density by allowing for the creation of duplexes on single-family lots and streamlining the process for lot splits. Under SB-9, property owners can convert their single-family homes into duplexes, thereby accommodating additional housing units. This bill also permits the division of lots into two separate parcels, paving the way for more housing opportunities.

Mission Hills and SB-9:

In Mission Hills, SB-9 has sparked debates about its potential impact on the neighborhood’s historic character. While the bill aims to alleviate the housing shortage, concerns have arisen over the preservation of the area’s unique architectural heritage. Some residents fear that increased housing density could alter the community’s aesthetic and disrupt its tight-knit atmosphere.

SB-10: Facilitating Higher-Density Housing Developments

Senate Bill 10, also enacted in 2021, provides local governments with the authority to upzone eligible parcels for higher-density housing developments. This means that areas zoned for commercial or residential use can be rezoned to allow for the construction of multi-unit housing projects. The decision to implement SB-10 rests with local jurisdictions, giving them greater control over their development goals.

Mission Hills and SB-10:

In Mission Hills, the impact of SB-10 largely depends on the decisions of the local government. The bill offers the potential to address the housing crisis by creating more housing units in

areas where they are needed most. However, the community must carefully consider the balance between development and preserving the neighborhood’s historic charm.

Key Differences and Considerations:

1. Scope of Development: SB-9 primarily focuses on individual property owners converting their homes into duplexes or splitting their lots, while SB-10 allows for largerscale upzoning and housing development projects.

2. Decision-Making Authority: SB-9 decisions are made by individual property owners, while SB-10 daecisions involve local government planning and zoning authorities.

3. Community Impact: SB-9 may have a more immediate impact on existing residential areas, potentially altering neighborhood dynamics. SB-10’s impact depends on local government decisions and could lead to more strategic development in appropriate locations.

4. Historic Preservation: Both bills raise concerns about preserving Mission Hills’ historic character and architectural heritage, with residents wanting to strike a balance between growth and maintaining the community’s identity. Conclusion:

As Mission Hills navigates the complex challenges of housing shortages and preserving its rich history, the implications of SB-9 and SB-10 remain under scrutiny. Balancing the need for additional housing units with the desire to retain the neighborhood’s unique character requires thoughtful consideration and collaboration among residents, local authorities, and stakeholders. Ultimately, the path forward for Mission Hills will likely involve finding a harmonious equilibrium between growth and preservation.
