	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1319, Pavley. Subdivisions: parcel merger: renewable energy
facilities.
   The Subdivision Map Act establishes a statewide regulatory
framework controlling the subdivision of land, provides the sole and
exclusive authority for local agency initiated merger of contiguous
parcels, and authorizes a legislative body, on its own motion or by
petition of all owners of record of the real property within the
subdivision, to initiate proceedings for reversion to acreage.
   This bill would provide that specified provisions of the act do
not prohibit a landowner, local agency, or renewable energy
corporation authorized to conduct business in the state from seeking
financial assistance from eligible state funding sources to defray
the costs of merging parcels on private or public lands, or the costs
of establishing or administering a joint powers authority
established or authorized to merge parcels on private or public lands
for the purpose of siting renewable energy facilities.
