What is SB 10?

SB 10 (or Missing Middle) housing remains critical to providing affordable infill housing supported by jobs, transit, and active transportation. Focusing growth in these areas will provide more home ownership and affordable housing opportunities while preserving our region’s natural habitat from destructive sprawl, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, and making the region more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

All about SB 10 & Missing Middle Housing

SB 10 / Missing Middle Housing remains a critical component to providing affordable infill housing in sustainable areas near jobs and transit.

of San Diegans believe that homeowners should be allowed to convert their homes to add additional housing units.

What Is Missing Middle Housing?

Missing Middle Housing refers to residential buildings that consist of multiple housing units and fall between single-family homes and mid-rise apartment buildings in terms of size and density.

The term was coined by Dan Parolek of Opticos in 2010 to address the neglected middle of the housing spectrum. Missing Middle Housing includes duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, courtyard apartments, bungalow courts, townhouses, multiplexes, and live/work units.

These buildings have been labeled as "missing" because they have been prohibited from construction in most U.S. cities for several decades.

Why do we need missing middle housing?

How do we build inexpensive housing?

The relationship between density, land, and construction cost determines the most cost-effective approach for building new housing. It’s essential to understand the costs involved in housing development.

Missing middle housing, which refers to small-scale apartment housing, including duplexes and small apartment buildings, is a more economical option for increasing the housing supply.

Single-family zoning regulations limit housing diversity and drive up costs. Allowing for greater flexibility in zoning and encouraging the development of missing middle housing can lead to more affordable and accessible housing options in cities.
