Gain essential information for compliance with the SMA, and insights for how to maximize its benefits.
The Subdivision Map Act (SMA) includes a variety of requirements applicable to development in California and creates challenges and opportunities for project proponents. This presentation will provide participants with an overview of the law, its requirements, the mapping process, and recent changes in the law. It will also explain the vested rights that developers secure by mapping their projects, and how to maximize these benefits. The presentation will also cover the interplay between the SMA and recent changes in state housing law that create new opportunities for developers to secure development conditions and protect plans over the course of the development process. This topic will provide essential information for compliance with the SMA and insights for how to maximize its benefits.
