Yes, you should be able to maintain your CA residency if you still have a California mailing address since your move is temporary.
California nonresident property owners may qualify for a waiver or reduced withholding. To request a waiver from withholding submit Form 588, Nonresident Withholding Waiver Request. To request reduced withholding submit Form 589, Nonresident Reduced Withholding Request.
Please view this link on information on how to apply for the waiver. Note, if you choose to be a California resident as mentioned in the first paragraph, you won't be eligible for this waiver.
