Land UseLegislationPlanning & Density
This document updates the Pacific Palisades Community Council on the status of California housing density bills as of June 27, 2020, including bills in the State Senate (SB 902, 1085, 1120, 1385, and 474) and State Assembly (AB 1279 and 3107), with particular attention to how these bills may affect the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone that encompasses the entire Palisades area. The council notes that some bills include exemptions for fire hazard zones while others do not, and indicates ongoing efforts to seek clarification from legislators.

Land UseLegislationPlanning & Density
This document updates on three California housing bills: SB 50 (which failed but may be reintroduced), AB 1279 (pending in Senate committees with concerns about density mandates in high-resource areas), and SB 330 (which became effective January 1, 2020 and requires local agencies to provide vesting rights for certain development projects). The Pacific Palisades Community Council expresses concerns about wildfire safety impacts and unclear exemptions for coastal and high fire hazard areas.

This January 2020 legislative update covers four Los Angeles policy matters: a proposed pilot program for rooftop digital ads on taxicabs, a vacation rentals ordinance approved by the City Planning Commission with a 90-day annual limit and 14,500-permit citywide cap, an adopted Accessory Dwelling Units ordinance allowing ADUs in most residential zones with fire safety restrictions in high-hazard areas, and the status of SB 50 regarding state preemption of local zoning controls. The document also notes that the U.S. Supreme Court denied review of the Boise homeless camping case, allowing the 9th Circuit decision to stand.
