This isn't quite right, unfortunately: you can only have 4 units per parcel, not 6. That's because SB9 includes ADUs in the definition of "unit," so it cannot be used to create a duplex on a lot that already has ADUs.

Thus, SB9 increases the limit from 3 units to 4 units, not 6.

You’re right, I must have read an earlier version of the bill

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

“Notwithstanding Section 65852.2 or 65852.22, a local agency shall not be required to permit an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit on parcels that use both the authority contained within this section and the authority contained in Section 66411.7”

However, it does not appear that the law prevents an ADU from being built without any additional rezoning, just that local cities may choose to approve/disallow it as they see fit

AB68 applies to multi-family lots as well, and you're allowed up to 2 of them, detached from the main multi-family building:

Do the lot split first, then the duplex construction, then construct 2 ADUs. 8 units where a SFH was before.
