WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH
SENATOR SKINNER BECAUSE I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT- THAT THE
FRAMEWORK OF THE DENSITY BONUS

STARTS TO SET A MINIMUM. AMOUNT
OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE- BUT I ALSO

OPPORTUNITY OF THIS OUR
PREVIOUS US. COMMERCIALLY
ZONED. AREAS IT WAS SO. SMART
EVERYBODY'S LIKE. OF COURSE

PASSED THE SENATE. PASSED ALL
COMMITTEES IN THE ASSEMBLY GOT
OFF THE SET ASSEMBLY FLOOR- BUT
UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE
MIDNIGHT DEADLINE WAS NOT ABLE

ON OUR SIDE SO. IT'S COMING
BACK IN SIMILAR FORM IT WOULD
GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MORE
TOOLS TO ENFORCE ORDINANCES.
THEY ADOPT REGULATING SHORT

COMMUNITIES. THE ECHO OF IT
NINETEEN PANDEMIC HAS LED TO AN
INCREASE IN PEOPLE USING SHORT
TERM RENTALS. TO OF A PUBLIC
HEALTH RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE
PUBLIC GATHERINGS- SHORT TERM
RENTALS OFFER A WAY TO IMPROVE
TOURISM AND EARNED HONOR SOME
EXTRA MONEY. RECENTLY THEIR
PROLIFERATION HAS ALLOWED BAD
ACTORS. TO USE THE PLATFORM. TO
ADVERTISE IN SECURE HOMES FOR
LARGE PARTIES. OFTEN IN
VIOLATION OF LOCAL ORDINANCES.
POST COMPLIANCE WHICH GATHERED
DATA ON SHORT TERM RENTAL
PROPERTIES IN MORE THAN A
HUNDRED CITIES IN THE UNITED

MORNING- IN SUPPORT OF SENATE
BILL SIXTY. THIS BILL WILL
PROVIDE CITIES WITH AN
IMPORTANT TOOL IN MANAGING THE
SHORT TERM RENTALS IN OURS. IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WE ARE SO
VERY GRATEFUL FOR SENATOR
GLAZER. FOR SUPPORTING THIS
LEGISLATION AND ALSO TO ALL OF
YOU WHO SUPPORTED THIS- THE
LAST- IN ITS LAST- ASIAN LAST
YEAR. YOU WILL RECALL THE
TRAGIC MURDERS ON HALLOWEEN
NIGHT FIGURING DEATH THAT
OCCURRED AT AN ILLEGAL
GATHERING IN THE SHORT TERM
RENTAL THIS UNSPEAKABLE TRAGEDY
WAS DEVASTATING TO THE FAMILIES
OF THE VICTIMS AND TO OUR
COMMUNITY. IN SHORT TERM RENTAL
HOSTING PLATFORMS CAME INTO
EXISTENCE MANY CITY CALIFORNIA
CHOSE TO BAIL THEM COMPLETELY.
IN A ROOM ON THE OTHER HAND WE
CHOSE A MORE MODERATE APPROACH
TO PERMIT THEM IN ADOPTED
NORMAN'S THE CLEARLY OUTLINED
THE RULES. THAT INCLUDED NO
RENTALS FOR LARGE PARTIES IN
THE REQUIREMENT THAT SHORT TERM
RENTALS REGISTERED THEIR
PROPERTY. OPTIONAL ORDINANCE
STEPHENS WORKED WITH PROPERTY
OWNERS AND NEIGHBORS TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS WHICH
REQUIRES EXTENSIVE STAFF
RESOURCES BUT IT ALSO REQUIRES
THE ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL. I DO
AFFECTED ENFORCEMENT. FOLLOWING
THE HALLOWEEN TRAGEDY WE
FURTHER STRENGTHEN OUR
ORDINANCE TO RESTRICT RENTALS
TO HOSTED RENTALS WHICH UNITE
MINIMUMS HOWEVER REDUCE
CHALLENGE THAT WE FACE IS THE
ABILITY TO ENFORCE THE RULES
INTERFACES SERIOUS VIOLATIONS.
COMPLIANCE SHORT TERM RENTAL
PROPERTIES WITH LOCAL ZONING
ORDINANCE IS THE RESPONSE TO
TRUST RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH
THE PROPERTY OWNER IN THE SHORT
TERM RENTAL PLATFORM. HAVING AN
ADEQUATE FINE STRUCTURE IS
ESSENTIAL TO BE ABLE TO
EFFECTIVELY MANAGE AND ENFORCE
THESE REASONABLE ORDINANCES.
ARAMBULA LIKE MANY CITIES IN
CALIFORNIA IS A GENERAL LAW
CITY IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE
SETS THE STATUTORY LIMITS
REFINE. THIS BILL WOULD PROVIDE
A MUCH NEEDED TO OPPORTUNITIES
IN CALIFORNIA TO ENFORCE THEIR
SHORT TERM RENTAL ORDINANCES SH

TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN FIVE PRETTY
ROUGH- IN ADDITION TO THE
PANDEMIC WE ALL KNOW THAT- THE
CREEK FIRE- LARGELY MY
DISTRICT- IS CONSIDERED THE
WORST WILDFIRE IN CALIFORNIA
HISTORY HAVING DESTROYED.
AROUND THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY
THOUSAND ACRES SO THIS IS BEEN
DEVASTATING- TO FOOTHILL AND
MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES- AND THAT
IS CERTAINLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT-
SOMETIMES. A STORY IS THE BEST
WAY TO UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUE
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THE
BUTTE FIRE BURNED DOWN THE HOME
OF A COUPLE IN MY DISTRICT.
THEY BEGIN THE REBUILDING
PROCESS FOLLOWING THE FIRE IN
THE FIRST ESTIMATED COMPLETION
WAS IN- NOVEMBER OF NINETEEN
WHICH IS FURTHER ADJUSTED- TO
THE LATE SUMMER OF TWENTY
TWENTY JUST IN TIME FOR THEM TO
REALIZE THE BASE VALUE
TRANSFER. WHEN KOBE HIT IN
EARLY TWENTY TWENTY THREE
THINGS HAPPENED. FIRST THE
CONTRACTOR STOP CONSTRUCTION
FOR A TIME FOLLOWING THE STATE
RECOMMENDATIONS SECOND THE
SUPPLY CHAIN SLOW DOWN. IN
THIRD IN THE INTEREST OF HEALTH
AND SAFETY THE CONTRACTOR
LIMITED THE NUMBER OF WORKERS
AND SUBCONTRACTORS ALLOWED TO
WORK ON THE PROJECT ALL AT ONE
TIME. ALL THESE WERE REASONABLY
INTEND TO PROTECT THEM THE
HEALTH AND WELFARE OF WILL OF
THE LABORS AS A RESULT IT'S
BEEN SEPTEMBER TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE YEARS AFTER THE FIRE THE
HOUSE WAS NOT READY TO BE
FINALIZED BY THE BUILDING
DEPARTMENT. THIS COUPLE MADE
EVERY EFFORT TO START THE
REBUILDING PROJECT EARLY ENOUGH
TO MEET THE DEADLINE BUT HIT A
ROADBLOCK THAT NO ONE COULD
HAVE FORESEEN COLLEAGUES SB
THREE THREE IS NECESSARY TO
EXTEND THE DEADLINE FOR THIS
COUPLE IN SO MANY OTHER RATHER
RESIDENTS. IMPACTED BY FIRES
SUCH AS THE CREEK FIRE WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCED DELAYS IN SUFFERING
AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC I
RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR AYE VOTE

BILL IS THAT WE'RE CLOSING THE
ROLE THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK
YOU SO MUCH AND- BURGESS WE ARE
NOW MOVING ON TO OUR FOURTH AND
FINAL WE WILL NEED TO TAKE UP
OUR CONSENT CALENDAR IS WELL
BUT LET'S GO TO OUR FOURTH AND
FINAL BILL OF THE DAY FOR
DIRECT PRESENTATION AND THAT'S
CAN BE COMING FROM OUR MAJORITY
LEADER MAJORITY LEADER SENATOR
HERTZBERG. THIS IS ON S. B. TWO
SIXTY SEVEN ON ACTIVE SOLAR
ENERGY SYSTEMS. MAJORITY LEADER
THE FLOOR IS YOURS WE WELCOME
YOU TO COMMITTEE AND TO US AND
WE WILL BE PRESENTING YOU WITH
THE RICARDO LARA WAR TODAY.
PLEASE PRESENTED TO THE LAST
PERSON IN COMMITTEE EACH
COMMITTEE HEARING. RITUPARNA
JEEZ. THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY
ABOUT ALL THIS OLD GUY- YEAH.
SO THE CUT WHAT WHAT THE
CONSTITUTION SAYS. THAT EVERY
TIME A PROPERTY TRANSFERS OR
PROPERTY ADDED TO A PARTICULAR
PROPERTY THE STATE HAS ABILITY
TO GRAB A BITE AND TAKE TAXES
OUT OF THAT. THE WE'VE PASSED
THE CHANGE IN THE LAW SOME
YEARS AGO IN ORDER TO SUPPORT
THE PUBLIC POLICY OF ENHANCING
OF INCLUDING SOLAR IN PEOPLE'S
HOMES AND TO TRY TO INCENTIVIZE
THEM TO SAY THAT THAT SUCH AS
SOLAR. INCREASE WITH DR SORRY
INCLUSION INTO THE PROPERTY
WOULD NOT BE. A TAXABLE EVENT
THAT WOULD ADD TO YOUR ASSESSED
VALUATION. CHALLENGE THAT WE
FACE IN THE PRACTICAL REALITY
OF IMPLEMENTATION IS. THAT THE
WAY MANY OF THESE COMPANIES
ACTUALLY ARMED PLACE ALL ONE
PEEPERS PROPERTIES IS THE NEW
PARTNERSHIPS AND THERE'S
TRANSFERS WITHIN THOSE
PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE BASICALLY
THE ECONOMIC MODELS TO. ALLOW
FOR THE STUFF TO WORK AND SO
THIS BILL CLARIFIES ANY
CONFUSION IN THAT REGARD THAT
ON THE ONE HAND SUPPORTS THE
POLICY THAT SAYS IF YOU WANT TO
ADD SOLAR TO YOUR HOME IT
SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE
ASSESSED VALUATION. AND THE
OTHER HAND AVOIDS THE CONFUSION
THAT'S CREATED BY WHAT'S CALLED
THESE PARTNERSHIP FLIPS- IN
ESSENCE WHERE OWNERSHIP SHIFTS
FROM ONE TO ANOTHER BASED UPON
YOUR PAYMENTS NOW YOUR HISTORY
WORKS IT'S JUST SIMPLY. A
MECHANISM THAT THE MARKET USES
THAT PUTS LESS PRESSURE ON
PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME AND
INSTALL A SOLAR INTO THEIR
HOMES ON THE ONE HAND. AND
WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
UNDERLYING PURPOSE OF THE
EXCLUSION IS MET AND NOT-
IMPEDED BY A STRAINED
INTERPRETATION OF HOW WE
FINANCE THESE THINGS AND SO
THIS IS A CLARIFICATION OF THE
LAW THAT'S WHY I'VE INTRODUCED
IT. THAT'S ITS PURPOSE THAT'S
WHY I ASKED FOR AN AYE VOTE

IN C. NINE MISTER MAJORITY
LEADER IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE.
YEAH I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE
THING YOU KNOW. IN THIS BILL IS
INDICATIVE OF A LARGER
DISCUSSION. WE HAVE AS POLICY
MAKERS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH
THE VERY DIFFICULT CHALLENGE OF
CONVERTING OUR ENERGY SOURCES-
TO VARIOUS TYPES OF CLEAN
ENERGY. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE
LOSS IN TWENTY OR TWENTY FIVE
YEARS AGO THESE WERE VERY
DIFFICULT TO DO. I WOULD SAY IN
THE LAST TWENTY YEARS THE
LEGISLATURE. WHETHER IT'S
RESOURCE ADEQUACY OR POLAR OR
ALL THE VARIOUS KINDS OF ISSUES
THAT WE FACE THESE KINDS OF.
BILLS WERE TRYING TO DEAL WITH
EXCLUSIONS OF SOLAR FROM
ASSESSED VALUATIONS AND HAVING
TO ADJUST BASED UPON THE
FEDERAL TAX CREDITS. ARE THE
KIND OF DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'RE
HAVING TO ENGAGE IN THE
LEGISLATURE YEAR AFTER YEAR AS
WE BEGIN THIS- AS WE I SHOULD
SAY CONTINUE THIS SIGNIFICANT
SHIFT. FROM THE OLD MODEL TO
THE NEW MODEL'S BATTERY STORAGE
