zoning reforms are subject to ceqa, at a legislative level? zoning variances on a per project basis certainly are, but reforms? in any case, one thing to keep in mind in any housing discussion is that uncertainty in its many forms is what principally drives up development costs. ceqa is one tool deployed as a weapon to increase project uncertainty, and ultimately drive up development costs. complex permitting/regualtory regimes and overly prescriptive (vs. descriptive) building codes (and their review processes) are more sources of uncertainty, risk, and untimately cost. p.s. - "4+1 by right" is my housing mantra.
