SB 684 created a state-law process for certain small-lot housing and subdivision projects on qualifying sites. It is a different pathway from an ADU or a two-lot SB 9 concept.
Use it to understand the pathway named in your HABU report. A screen can identify a reason to investigate; only project-specific local and professional review can validate a development plan.
For a qualifying site, the pathway could lead to multiple separately mapped residential lots and homes in a small infill project. The feasible layout and unit count depend on zoning and density, the parcel, existing development, access, utilities, objective standards, and project economics.
HABU reviews available jurisdiction, zoning, parcel, constraint, and preliminary economic inputs to identify whether SB 684 warrants deeper study. A positive screen is a lead for feasibility work, not confirmation that a subdivision or housing application will be approved.
Local planning and public-works staff and a qualified subdivision team must confirm the site and project meet current law and local objective standards. Survey, title, map design, density, access, fire, utilities, civil engineering, fees, financing, and market demand all require project-specific validation.
No. They are different state-law pathways with different project types and qualification rules. HABU screens them separately so an owner does not treat one result as approval for the other.
No. The final concept depends on verified zoning and density, survey and title work, objective standards, infrastructure, design, agency review, and economics.
Read the state source, then compare the other pathway definitions before treating one option as the answer for your property.
