Senate Bill (SB) 79, the “Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act,” goes into effect on July 1, 2026. For more information on the bill, including preliminary mapping of eligible TOD stops, explore the interactive StoryMap of Citywide Potential Eligibility.
As directed by the City Council in Council File 25-1083, City Planning has prepared a report providing an overview of the bill and how it will impact the city. It also outlines options for how the city may implement SB 79 locally.
At a special meeting on November 17, 2025, the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee directed City Planning to develop recommendations related to the Upzoning and Delayed Effectuation Implementation strategy (Approach C). On December 2, 2025, the City Council subsequently voted to direct further analysis and the preparation of formal recommendations regarding SB 79 implementation. The Department of City Planning will transmit a follow-up report in early 2026.
Disclaimer: The map linked below is in draft format and intended for exploratory purposes only, based on initial analysis of the language contained in Senate Bill 79. SB 79 requires that the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) create a map of the City’s transit-oriented development stops and zones by tier, as designated by SB 79, and in accordance with any guidance prepared by the Department of Housing and Community Development. Updated SB 79 maps will be released as new information becomes available and if any changes to potential TOD stops are identified.
