Builder's Remedy Project Proposals

The “Builder’s Remedy” under the Housing Accountability Act (HAA) is applicable to all local jurisdictions in the State of California when they have not adopted a revised Housing Element in compliance with state law. Cities, such as Cupertino, cannot deny approval of qualifying housing developments because they are inconsistent with the City's General Plan, Specific Plan, and/or Zoning.  This includes lot sizes, density, allowed uses, height, and setbacks. The Association of Bay Area Governments has provided a Technical Assistance for Local Planning in regard to Builder's Remedy Projects. 

As of this date, the City has received one application for a Builder's Remedy Project.
