CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill No. 1483


Introduced by Assembly Member Grayson

February 22, 2019


An act to add Sections 65940.1 and 65940.2 to the Government Code, relating to land use.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1483, as introduced, Grayson. Housing development project applications: reporting.
Existing law, the Permit Streamlining Act, requires each public agency to provide a development project applicant with a list that specifies the information that will be required from any applicant for a development project. Existing law prohibits a local agency from requiring additional information from an applicant that was not specified in that list.
The Mitigation Fee Act requires a local agency that establishes, increases, or imposes a fee as a condition of approval of a development project to, among other things, determine a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
This bill would require a city or county to compile a list that provides zoning and planning standards, fees imposed under the Mitigation Fee Act, special taxes, and assessments applicable to housing development projects in the jurisdiction. This bill would require each local agency to post the list on its internet website and provide the list to the Department of Housing and Community Development and any applicable metropolitan planning organization. The bill would require the department to post the information submitted pursuant to these provisions on its internet website by January 1, 2021, and each year thereafter.
This bill would require each city and county to annually submit specified information concerning pending housing development projects with completed applications within the city or county, the number of applications deemed complete, and the number of discretionary permits, building permits, and certificates of occupancy issued by the city or county to the department and any applicable metropolitan planning organization. The bill would require the department to post the information submitted pursuant to these provisions on its internet website by January 1, 2021, and each year thereafter.
By requiring each city and county to post specified information on its internet website and requiring a report be submitted to the department and any applicable metropolitan planning organization, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES
