• Sacramento Wins Again: Two Homes, Zero Parking: Hermosa Beach's First SB9 Split Arrives (hermosareview.com) — Hermosa Beach has approved its first SB9 lot split at 2040 Hillcrest Drive, replacing one home with parking with two houses that have no off-street parking, adding pressure to an already tight street. City staff and council members used the vote to highlight how state housing laws are reshaping local zoning control, echoing broader frustrations aired during the same meeting over short-term rental rules and state oversight.
