Caldwell staff outline draft school-capacity ordinance tying new development to local school thresholds Caldwell’s community development director presented a draft ordinance that would link residential approvals to school capacity thresholds (110% at the school level), allow conditional three‑year delays on building starts, require district verification letters, and permit voluntary mitigation only; the draft moves to Planning & Zoning April 8 and a council public hearing May 4.

Caldwell is taking a bold step to ensure residential development aligns with school capacity, proposing a new ordinance that could delay projects for up to three years if schools are over capacity.

Assembly committee advances narrow fix to let very large senior HOAs seek court approval for CC&R updates The Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee advanced AB 2,035, a narrowly drawn measure allowing very large, senior-focused homeowner associations that struggle to meet quorum to petition the superior court for CC&R amendments if 37% of homeowners vote in favor. Supporters cited Laguna Woods Villageand long-outdated rules; some members asked for confirmation the change would be limited to the named circumstances.

A new bill could revolutionize how senior homeowners associations in California update their long-outdated rules, requiring just a 37% vote from members to move forward.
