Pre-Approved Building Plans in Sacramento; States Encourage Granny Flats; and Reduced Processing Time in Columbus

We've just posted this summer's blockbuster edition of
Breakthroughs on the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse
(RBC) website. In this issue, you'll see how:
 
o Sacramento, California is using pre-approved building
    plans to encourage infill housing development;
 
o Vermont, California, and Florida have enacted legislation
    that encourages accessory dwelling construction as a
    source of affordable housing; and
 
o Columbus, Ohio continues to streamline processing of
    development applications.
 
We understand that your time is valuable, but you may have
just the answer to some of the most pressing questions
asked by our readers. Call us at 1-800-245-2691/option 4 or
send an email to rbcsubmit@huduser.gov with the basic
idea, and we'll do the rest. And who knows, others may be
developing solutions that will save you time in the future.
