Los Angeles will draft standards to guide the implementation of the statewide Senate bill that allows up to four housing units to be built on a single-family-zoned lot.

Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) was introduced last year as a possible solution to alleviate California’s housing crisis, and was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September.
