Assembly Bill

No. 1281

Introduced by Assembly Member Limón

February 17, 2017

An act to amend Section 30250 of the Public Resources Code, relating to coastal resources.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1281, as introduced, Limón. Coastal resources: development policies.

The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and regulation of development in the coastal zone, as defined. Existing law specifies planning and management policies for the location of new residential, commercial, and industrial development in the coastal zone.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in that provision.

Bill Text

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

 Section 30250 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:

30250.

 (a) New residential, commercial, or industrial development, except as otherwise provided in this division, shall be located within, contiguous with, or in close proximity to, existing developed areas able to accommodate it or, where such these areas are not able to accommodate it, in other areas with adequate public services and where it will not have significant adverse effects, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources. In addition, land divisions, other than leases for agricultural uses, outside existing developed areas shall be permitted only where 50 percent of the usable parcels in the area have been developed and the created parcels would be no smaller than the average size of surrounding parcels.

(b) Where feasible, new hazardous industrial development shall be located away from existing developed areas.

(c) Visitor-serving facilities that cannot feasibly be located in existing developed areas shall be located in existing isolated developments or at selected points of attraction for visitors.
