No. 921

An act to amend Section 8162.5 of the Government Code, relating to state government.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 921, as amended, Cervantes. Capitol Park.

The Capitol View Protection Act prescribes specific height limits and setback requirements applicable to the area surrounding Capitol Park and defines certain terms for its purposes. uses specified terms to define that area, including the term “half block.” The act defines the term “half block” to mean a reference to a half block that is 200 feet in a specified direction from the center line of a given numbered street, and to include all property bounded within 210 feet of the center line of a given lettered street.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to one of those definitions. modify the definition of “half block” to mean a reference to a half block that is 205 feet in a specified direction from the center line of a given numbered street, and to include all property bounded within 215 feet of the center line of a given lettered street.
