• Implement land use/zoning changes to reduce barriers to interim and permanent housing
• Achieve city compliance with CA Senate Bill 2
• Implement city policy changes that result in changes to increase the housing supply
This latest achievement is another example of the commitment of the City of Bell’s leadership to protect and promote the quality of life for its residents.
