SB 677: What It Means for GlenOak Hills

Senate Bill 677, now in the California Senate Housing Committee, would allow homeowners in HOAs to split their lots and add additional homes without HOA oversight. It amends the Davis-Stirling Act to override HOA rules, including those that preserve large lot sizes like we have in GlenOak Hills.

If passed, it could increase density, traffic, and infrastructure strain (roads, septic systems, area amenities), while complicating dues, access, and voting rights—without any input from the community.

Supporters say it helps the housing shortage. Opponents argue it removes local control and threatens rural communities like ours. The deadline to voice concerns is April 21.
