Navigating the ever-evolving world of Bay Area real estate, I’ve always believed that informed clients make the best decisions—especially when it comes to changes that can impact our neighborhoods. California’s Senate Bill 684 is a noteworthy update for anyone considering buying, selling, or investing in smaller properties. The new law sets a 60-day ministerial approval process for small-lot subdivisions (up to 10 units) on eligible urban infill sites, eliminating the need for environmental review and public hearings, with certain size and unit limitations in place. Having guided clients through countless transactions in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, and the surrounding mid-peninsula for over 46 years, I know how important it is to stay ahead of policy shifts like this. My focus has always been on listening, clear communication, and putting your needs first—because changes in regulation can open new opportunities or challenges, and I’m here to help you navigate them with confidence.
