Huntington Beach, Calif., is looking to contest a provision of state law known as “builder’s remedy” that would allow developers to bypass local zoning laws on some projects.

The provision is part of the state’s 1982-passed Housing Accountability Act and kicks in if a city fails to have a state-mandated affordable housing plan.
