If you own a vacant lot in any of the City's single-family zones, you may be eligible to build up to 10 homes and sell them individually, all by-right!

SB 1123, passed by the California Legislature in 2024, creates a new ministerial pathway for subdividing and developing eligible single-family sites throughout the City.

To qualify, your lot must be:

1. Vacant;
2. No larger than 1.5 acres;
3. Zoned for single-family residential uses;
4. Outside of the State Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

Please review Information Bulletin 414 for more information about program eligibility and application processing, or if you have a site zoned for multi-family development.

Note: This page is not a substitute for, and may not always match, the current version of the regulations. Applicants should always refer to the California Government Code and San Diego Municipal Code when submitting development permit applications.
