Webinar: Lessons From California: What States Can Learn About Zoning for More Housing

Text: Lessons from California: What States Can Learn about Zoning for More Housing Headshots of: Sarah Karlinsky, Noerena Limon, Annie Fryman, Steve Wertheim, and Ramie DareIn recent years, California has become fertile ground for land-use innovation at the state level. From Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) reform to density bonus law, to upzoning commercial corridors and strengthening housing element law, California has been pursuing an “all of the above” approach. 

What can other states learn from this experimentation? What is working on the ground and what isn’t? What are the remaining barriers to increasing zoned capacity that can be addressed at the state level?

Speakers will include:

  • Sarah Karlinsky, Research Director, Terner Center for Housing Innovation (moderator)
  • Noerena Limón, Chief Executive Officer, Casita Coalition
  • Annie Fryman, Director of Special Projects, SPUR 
  • Steve Wertheim, Senior Advisor to California Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland)
  • Ramie Dare, Bay Area Regional Director of Real Estate, Mercy Housing California
