HIGH AND MODERATE FIRE SEVERITY
ZONES- THIS BILL IS NOT ABOUT

IMPORTANT LETTER LAST MONTH
ABOUT IMPROVE THE GOVERNOR'S.
QUALIFIER BUDGET AND A FOCUS ON
ONE ISSUE SPECIFICALLY AND
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL DOES TOO.
AND THAT IS WE DON'T HAVE A
HOME IGNITION PROBLEM UNIQUE WE
HAVE A HOME IGNITION PROBLEM-
NOT A WILDFIRE CONTROL PROBLEM-
IN. LAST YEAR'S ALAMEDA FIRE UP
IN ASHLAND AND TALENT OREGON.
THEY SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
ON SENDING BACK COUNTRY COURSE.
STILL LOCKED TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED HOMES AND YOU DON'T
KNOW ABOUT PARADIS IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN WE LOST
ELEVEN THOUSAND HOMES OUT
THERE. AND THE FIRE HAD MOVED
THROUGH THIRTY THOUSAND ACRES
OF TEN YEAR OLD VEGETATION OR
HIT THE TOWN. AND SO THE THING
THAT'S REALLY IMPACTING THESE.
COMMUNITIES IT IS NOT.
NECESSARILY THE WILDLAND
VEGETATION OFTEN FAR AWAY FROM
THE COMMUNITIES AT RISK BUT BUT
THE NUMBERS. AND THE WIND
DRIVEN EMBERS OF THE THINGS
THAT- IMPACT ON THE MOST. AND
SO CLEARING HABITAT NOT REALLY
THE ANSWER- WHAT WE GOTTA DO IS
STOP PUTTING NEW NEIGHBORHOOD
IN HIGH FIRE RISK AREAS WHICH
THIS BILL THAN A DOZEN CARS
BUT- REPRESENT THE ONES THAT
ARE AND A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS
WE CAN DO- EMBER RESISTANT THAN
NON FLAMMABLE ROOFING- PROPER
DEFENSIBLE SPACE WHICH MEANS
YOU DON'T REMOVE EVERYTHING'S
IN THE DIRT YOU CREATE A- BIT
OF- BARRIER FOR AMHERST AT THE

NASA MOON LAUNCH APPROACH TO

IN. COMMENTS EIGHT AND NINE OF
THE ANALYSIS AND I WANNA-
PUBLICLY. COMMIT TO PARTNERING
WITH THE COMMITTEE TO IMPROVE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DATA
COLLECTION FRAMEWORK IN THE
BILL. THAT IS AS DISGUSTING
COMMENT TEN. TWENTY FIVE SIXTY
THREE UPDATES AND IMPROVES UPON
THE SECOND NEIGHBORHOOD INFILL
FINANCING TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS
ACTS NIFTY TO. A VOLUNTARY TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING TOOL TO
CATALYZE AFFORDABLE. INFILL
HOUSING NEAR TRANSIT AND CENTER
IF YOU COULD MAYBE ADJUST THE
MICROPHONE YOU'RE A LITTLE SOFT
NOW OKAY GREAT THANK YOU. ALL
RIGHT. SO SAW THIS COMMITTEE
NEWS IN THE WAKE OF
REDEVELOPMENT'S DISSOLUTION THE
LEGISLATURE HAS CREATED
NUMEROUS INFRASTRUCTURE
FINANCING INSTRUMENTS THAT HAVE
YET TO CATALYZES GRADUAL GROWTH.
FIFTY TWO WAS ESTABLISHED IN
CONSULTATION WITH THE HOUSING
AND TRANSIT ADVOCATES TO
PROVIDE CITIES AND COUNTIES.
WITH A FINANCING TOOL THAT
ESPECIALLY INCENTIVIZE THE
DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF
HOUSING AND TRANSIT ORIENTED.
COMMUNITIES THE LEGISLATION
THAT I'M OFF THE TOP THIRD.
CREATING THE STATUE A FEW YEARS
BACK ALSO REQUIRE THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF PLANNING
RESEARCH OPR TO STUDY AND
REPORT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS. OF
TAX INCREMENT TOOLS FOR
INCREASING HOUSING PRODUCTION.
SO OPS REPORT RELEASED EARLIER
THIS YEAR. NOTES THAT LIMITED
REVENUE POTENTIAL OF
INCREMENTAL OF INCREMENT
FINANCING TOOLS. QUOTE
SIGNIFICANT LIMITS THEIR
ABILITY TO ASSIST IN MEETING
STATE HOUSING GOALS AND CELL
FATE AND RECOMMENDED. AN
EXPLORATION OF WAYS TO
POTENTIALLY LEVERAGE EXISTING
STATE PROGRAMS AND FUNDING
SOURCES TO ENABLE THE USEOF
FINANCING. NOT TO PROMOTE
LOCATION EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
PLACES WHERE CURRENT INCREMENTS
FINANCING TOOLS ALONE MAY BE
INSUFFICIENT. SO THIS BILL IS
INCORPORATED- PR'S
RECOMMENDATION ENVISIONING A
ROLE FOR POTENTIAL STATE
FUNDING TO BOLSTER SHOULD CALL
WITH CITIES AND COUNTIES A
BUILDING INFILL HOUSING
COMPLEMENTARY THE FIRST OPTION
YOUR TRANSIT. IT ALSO
STRENGTHENS NIFTY TEARS TENANT
PROTECTIONS HOMELESSNESS
PREVENTION INTO DISPLACEMENT
PROVISIONS. ENSURING THAT
DISTRICTS AUGMENT BUT NOT
UNINTENTIONALLY UNDERMINE
CALIFORNIA'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING
STOCK. SO THE IDEA IS THAT BY
ESTABLISHING A ROBUST FRAMEWORK
FOR COLLABORATION AND CO
INVESTMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ITS COUNTIES AND
CITIES WHO WISH TO WILL WORK
TOGETHER TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO PREVENT
HOMELESSNESS. IN THEIR

ONE LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT.
DEVELOPING SUFFICIENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN MEETING
THIS CHALLENGE AND THE
CHALLENGE OF HOMELESSNESS WILL
REQUIRE THAT CITIES COUNTIES
AND STATES WORK TOGETHER IN
PARTNERSHIP. AND FOR EACH TO
BRING RESOURCES TO THE TABLE.
SB FIVE SIX THREE CREATES A
FRAMEWORK FOR PARTNERSHIP
COLLABORATION CONVALESCENT
BETWEEN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
IT'S COUNTIES AND CITIES WHEN
THEY WISH TO WORK TOGETHER TO
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TO
PREVENT PREVENT HOMELESSNESS.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER
SEE A BENEFIT EMPLOYEE UNION

REQUIREMENT IGNORE THE
REALITIES OF THE WORKPLACE. OF

DEVELOPER COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW
HAS A LOOK ST DIFFICULTY
GETTING THREE BIDS FOR ANY JOB
WITH THE PREVAILING WAGE
REQUIREMENT. AND THAT'S WHEN

CONTRACTORS OR APPLYING ARE
BIDDING. THIS IS THIS- A
DIFFICULT IS PARTICULARLY
PRONOUNCED IN INLAND AREAS
WHERE WE ARE LIKELY TO GET.
WHERE I'M LIKE WE'RE LIKELY TO

GET BIDS FROM ANY UNION
CONTRACTORS AT ALL. THIS BILL
THIS BILL DISQUALIFIES HALF THE

THE MARKET POWER OF A SINGLE
BIDDER. IN TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN THE BUILDING TRADES
RELEASED A REPORT STATED AMONG

HOUSING CONSTRUCTION. AND%
EXPANDING A PRODUCTIVE
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION WORK
FORCE AS RAPIDLY AS REQUIRED%

DUE TO COMPETITION FROM NON

EMPLOYERS. AS A RESULT THE
UNION ONLY LANGUAGE WILL RENDER
THE BILL RELATIVELY USELESS IN
MOST PARTS OF THE STATE. AND
MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER
PARTS UNTIL WE CAN GROW THAT
WORK FORCE WHICH WE ARE
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE
TRADES ON. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
COMMUNITY HAS OFFERED
AMENDMENTS THAT WILL PRIORITIZE

ALSO PUTTING RESPONSIBLE

CONTINUES TO FACE AN EXTREME
HOUSING CRISIS IN ORDER TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF CALIFORNIANS
FAMILY THE STATE MUST INCREASE
HOUSING PRODUCTION. YET THE
LACK OF AVAILABLE LAND FOR
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
CONTINUES TO BE A BARRIER TO
BUILD. MANY OF OUR CITIES ARE
BUILT OUT AND DON'T HAVE.
AVAILABLE VACANT LAND IN OTHER
CITIES ARE RELUCTANT RELUCTANT
TO DEVELOP HOUSING ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF THEIR JURISDICTION
WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO URBAN
SPRAWL AND GREENHOUSE GASES. SB
SIX TAKES THE CONCEPT
ARTICULATED IN SB THREE SEVENTY
FIVE THIS IS BEING ABLE
COMMUNITY STRATEGY. TO REDUCE
THE TIME AND DISTANCE PEOPLE
TRAVEL BY VEHICLE AND THE REUSE
AND ADAPT. UNDERPERFORMING
PROPERTIES TO CREATE WALKABLE
COMMUNITIES AND AVOID SPRAWL
THIS ADAPTIVE REUSE BILL WILL
SPUR HOUSING PRODUCTION BY
AUTHORIZING RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS ON EXISTING LOTS
CURRENTLY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL
OFFICE AND RETAIL USE. SUCH AS
STRIP MALLS. LARGE MALLS OR BIG
BOX RETAIL SPACES SB SIX WILL
ALSO SOLVE AND INVOLVING CRISIS
THAT HAS BEEN EXACERBATED BY
THE SHELTER IN PLACE ORDERS
DURING THE COPA NINETEEN
PANDEMIC. WHICH IS WHICH HAS
SHIFTED BUSINESSES TO ACCEPT
SOME PERMANENTLY NEW WORK FROM
HOME STRATEGIES AND EXPANDED
ONLINE TRANSACTIONS FOR

INDICATED THAT THEY MAY BE
FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY RELIEF
ARE CLOSING STORES DUE TO THE
DECLINE IN SALES SALES AT
PHYSICAL STORE LOCATIONS SUCH
AS SEARS J. C. PENNEY'S KMART
AND TOYS R. US AND MANY OTHERS.
WE'VE SEEN THE SHIFT IN
CONSUMER PREFERENCE OVER TIME
WHICH HAS LEFT MANY COMMUNITIES
WITH STRIP MALLS AND MALLS WITH
MAJOR TENANT BACON SEES WHICH
CONTRIBUTE TO THE DECLINE OF
THE RETAIL CENTER INCREASING
BLIGHT. VANDALISM AND DECLINING
SALES REVENUES IN MY RURAL
DISTRICT THESE RETAILERS ARE
OUR MAJOR TENANTS AND I EXPECT
TO SEE MANY MORE LEAVES AS THE
ECONOMY CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE.
MANY CORPORATE ENTERPRISES ARE
FOR GOING THEIR BRICK AND
MORTAR OPERATIONS IN FAVOR OF A
NEW WORK FROM HOME REALITY.
TECH GIANTS SUCH AS FACEBOOK
HAVE EMBRACED A PERMANENT WORK
FROM HOME STRATEGY LEAVING
BEHIND MASSIVE COMMERCIAL
CENTERS WITH UNCERTAIN FUTURES.

COMMERCIAL SPACES ARE ALONG
MAJOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

SIGNIFICANT ACREAGE AVAILABLE

AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUCH AS
APARTMENTS TOWN HOMES AND
CONDOMINIUMS. AND PROVIDE
FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL DECISION
MAKING BY SUBJECTING
DEVELOPMENT TO LOCAL PLANNING
PARKING AND DESIGN. ORDINANCES
WITH NO COST TO THE STATE SB
SIX WILL INCENTIVIZE
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
WITHOUT IMPACTING SINGLE FAMILY
NEIGHBORHOODS BY GIVING
LANDOWNERS AND DEVELOPERS AWAY
TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND FOR

COMMERCIAL THAT INCLUDE
INDUSTRIAL PARK A COMMERCIAL
THAT INCLUDE- THE KINDS OF
ZONING THAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT
TO PUT HOUSING NEXT TO AND WILL
MAKE IT VERY CEAR THAT WE
DON'T INTEND THAT TO HAPPEN
THAT'S NOT THE INTENTION OF THE
BILL THE BILL IS. PERMISSIBLE
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THEY
CAN IDENTIFY THE SITES THAT
THEY BELIEVE WILL BE MOST
APPROPRIATE FOR HOUSING THEY
WILL KNOW WHO WHAT SITES THEY
ARE BECAUSE THE STORES ARE
CLOSING THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT.
TO CLOSE. BUSINESSES THAT ARE
SUCCESSFUL. AND TO REPLACE THE-
THE LOT WITH HOUSING THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN
INVESTMENT IN A SHOPPING
CENTER. IN THE COMMERCIALS OWN
THAT WILL ALLOW HOUSING TO BE
PART OF THE OF THE MIXED USE IN
THE ZONE- AND SO WE'LL BE VERY
CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT
DOESN'T- CONFLICT WITH OTHER
LAND USES THAT WOULD CREATE A
DANGER. BY PUTTING HOUSING NEXT
TO IT. AND SO THEY WERE WORKING
TOMORROW NIGHT AND THE LANGUAGE
WILL BE WILL WILL WILL WILL
WILL YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT YOU'LL
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY SEE IT.
WONDERFUL THANK YOU. HEY AT
WORK ANYTHING ELSE CENTER
TROUBLE. THANK YOU BYE CENTER
PATEL'S A- THE PROCORE THROUGH
THE BILL I'D BE HAPPY TO MOVE
IT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. OKAY
PERSONIFYING CENTER CABALLERO
FOR- FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD
I'M PROUD TO BE A CO AUTHOR OF
AND I SUPPORT IT- TODAY- RIGHT
I DO JUST WANT TO KNOW ONE
THING AND- I APPRECIATE THE
SENATE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOME
OF THE CHANGES. IN TERMS OF
WORK FROM HOME AND WHAT THAT
MIGHT MEAN FOR COMMERCIALS HE
SAYS- AND THERE MAY BE
COMMERCIAL PLANS THAT YOU KNOW
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND
WORK FROM HOME. MAY NO LONGER.
BE AS NEAT AS A ONCE BEFORE I
DO I DO THIS WHEN I SAYS MY OWN
VIEW THAT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN I
THINK THAT. THAT MAY NOT BE A
SIGNIFICANT A FACTOR AS WE
SOMETIMES THINK IMMERSING IN
THE BAY AREA EVEN FACEBOOK
GOOGLE ARE CONTINUING. TO
EXPAND- EVEN AS THEY HAVE MORE
FLEXIBLE WORK FROM HOME- I DO
THIS BILL EVEN PRE PANDEMIC-
THIS BILL WOULD BE INCREDIBLY
USEFUL UNIFICATION NUMBER CAT
AND- HAPPEN BECAUSE THE REALITY
IS WE HAVE A LOT OF LAND DAWSON
BAY AREA BUT- IN IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA- THAT'S EITHER UNDER
PERFORMING. ARTS US NOT BEING
DEVELOPED AS COMMERCIAL EVEN
THOUGH ITS OWN NOT WHEN WHAT
THIS BILL DOES. IS IT CREATES A
FACILITATOR WAY JUST TO CREATE
FLEXIBILITY SO BEYOND THE
ETERNAL DEBATES OR PARK AND
HAVE FOR YEARS AND YEARS ABOUT
THE IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC ON
ONE WORK IN OFFICE ETCETERA. I
THINK THIS BILL IS INCREDIBLY
USEFUL- AND HAVING THAT GREATER
FLEXIBILITY AND SO I'M PROUD TO
SUPPORT IT- SO- WITH THAT-
CENTER CAREER YOU MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WANT TO
THANK EVERYBODY THAT I
TESTIFIED HERE TODAY APPRECIATE
THEIR COMMENTS AND CONCERNS-
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE KNOW WE
pTO DO IT IN A WAY THAT'S
RESPONSIBLE THAT HAS AS- LITTLE
IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS AS
POSSIBLE AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
DOES. SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I. BOATS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AND- EVERYONE I EXPRESS
MY APPRECIATION TO THE
COMMITTEE OF FOR BEING WILLING
TO CROSS AS COMMITTEE AMENDS
SOME AUTHOR AMENDMENTS. THAT- I
AM- ATTY ST STE BESIDES
TECHNICAL CLEAN UP THOSE
DEMANDS AND ALL GET INTO THE
TECHNICAL CLEAN UP A LITTLE
LATER THOSE IMMENSE CLARIFY.
THAT ENTIRE DISPLACEMENT
PROTECTIONS APPLY TO LOWER
INCOME OCCUPANTS AND EXCLUDE
SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND NOW TO
THE BILL SB EIGHT SO HE WENT TO
STATE YOUR PAST SB THREE THIRTY
IN TWENTY. NINETEEN AND THAT
BILL THREE THIRTY WHICH THE
GOVERNOR SIGNED INTO LAW HAS
REALLY ASSISTED THE CALIFORNIA
IN GETTING MORE HOUSING BUILT.
THE BILL HAS A VERY I THINK OUR-
PRACTICAL BUT ESSENTIAL PURPOSE
WHICH IS THAT IT HELPS TO
GREENLIGHT THOSE HOUSING
PROJECTS THAT MEET OUR EXISTING
RULES NOW WE ALREADY HAVE OTHER
STATUTES ON THE BOOK THAT HELPS
TO DO THAT HOWEVER. WE WATCHED
THAT PROJECTS WERE MOVING
FORWARD AND THEN A LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WOULD CHANGE ITS
RULES WHICH THEN WOULD EITHER
ELIMINATE THE BILL WOULD BE FOR
THAT HOUSING PROJECT WHICH
PREVIOUSLY MET THE RULES TO GO
FORWARD OR GREATLY DELAY IT. ON
SO WHAT SB THREE THIRTY DID AND
WHAT I WILL EXPLAIN SB EIGHT
DOES IS SB THREE THIRTY SAID
LOOK WE'RE IN A CRISIS RIGHT
NOW LET'S JUST TAKE A PAUSE AND
LET'S. STOP CHANGING THE RULES
FOR FIVE YEARS LET'S STOP
CHANGING THE RULES LET'S HOLD
OFF ON ACTIONS THAT DELAY OR
DECREASE HOUSING YOU KNOW OUR
LOCAL GOVERNMENT PARTNERS AND
ALLOW THOSE HOT THAT HOUSING
WHICH WE HAD ALREADY WE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. HAVE ACCEPTED AND
SAID WAS MEET OUR ROLES LET'S
LET HIM GO FORWARD. NOW BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC AS WE ALL KNOW
MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN HALTED.
SO WHAT SB EIGHT DOES IS IT
EXTENDS THE LIFE OF SB THREE
THIRTY SO S. THREE THIRTY AS I
MENTIONED WAS JUST YOU KNOW
GIVE US FIVE YEARS TO TRY TO
ACCELERATE THE HOUSING THAT
MEETS OUR RULES. BUT BECAUSE OF
THE PANDEMIC PAUSE WHAT I WANT
TO DO AND I ASK YOU TO JOIN ME
TO DO IS EXTEND THE PROVISIONS
OF SB THREE THIRTY UNTIL TWENTY
THIRTY SO IT WOULD STILL
EXPIRED IT WOULD STILL GO AWAY
BUT WE WOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE
TO FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
HAVE OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MOVE
FORWARD WITH THAT HOUSING THAT
MEETS THEIR RULES AND NOT
CHANGE THE RULES MIDSTREAM AND
NOT TAKE ACTIONS THAT DECREASE
OR DELAYED HOUSES. NOW THE FEW
CHANGES TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS
THAT WE'VE INCLUDED THIS THAT
ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT'S IN THREE THIRTY ARE THAT
WE LOOK HER FOR LOW GUY IN THE
TO YOU THAT THREE THREE A BEEN
OP. THAT THE WERE FEW. THAT

WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS CENTER
SKINNER FOR HERVERY VERY HARD
WORK. ON SB THREE THIRTY- I
MEAN THAT WAS A LONG AND
COMPLICATED. PROCESS BUT THIS
BILL HAS BEEN DESCRIBED- THIS
LAW SHOULD SAYS BEEN DESCRIBED
AS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE
AND IMPACTFUL HOUSING LAWS IN.
RECENT YEARS IT IS
FUNDAMENTALLY A GOOD
GOVERNMENT- LAW TO SAYING YOU
CAN HAVE WHATEVER RULES YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE- BUT HE CAN BE WE
NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM.
CALIFORNIA'S TYPICAL ROPE A
DOPE- A HOUSING PROCESS WHERE
IT'S OF SUCH TURBULENT
UNPREDICTABLE AN OPEN ENDED
PROCESS AND TO SET SOME
GUARDRAILS SO THERE'S A
BEGINNING MIDDLE AND END. OF
THE PROCESS AND I THINK SB
THREE THIRTY DOES NOT VERY
GRACEFULLY- AND- THIS
LEGISLATION AND MAKING SYSTEM
NEEDED CLARIFICATIONS- AND
EXTENDING THE SUNSET I THINK IS
VERY IMPORTANT SO I SUPPORT THE
BILL- AND- I KNOW THAT THERE
ARE. ACTUALLY THERE ARE
AMENDMENTS AND I CAN'T REMEMBER
IF YOU ACCEPTED THE AMOUNT I
DID YEAH THANK YOU VERY MUCH
SENATOR OKAY WITHOUT WE DO HAVE
A- MOTION MY CENTER CORTEZ THE
AND CENTER IF YOU'D LIKE TO
CLOSE. THANKS SO MUCH- AND
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS- BY THE
CHAIR AND- I DIDN'T SAY THIS IN
THE REASONS. WHY THIS BILL SO
IMPORTANT BUT I THINK. WHAT I
MEAN BEYOND THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE A- CRISIS WE HAVEN'T FOR.
CRISIS AND WE KNOW. THAT THE
LADY'S DASH COST. DELAY MAKES
HOUSING MORE EXPENSIVE AND IT
MAKES IT LESS AFFORDABLE SO AS
WE HEARD FROM THE KEY WITNESS
IN SUPPORT OF THE NONPROFIT
HOUSING ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. AS MUCH AS WE HEAR
FROM SO MANY CONSTITUENTS HOW
MUCH THEY SUPPORT ONLY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT IS
ACTUALLY OUR AFFORDABLE
PROJECTS THAT TAKE THE LONGEST
TIME TO GET THROUGH THE
PROCESS. SO IN FACT WHAT IS THE
EXTENSION OF OUR HOUSING CRISIS
ACT BY ALLOWING THOSE. HOUSING
PROJECTS THAT MEET THE RULES TO
MOVE FASTER THROUGH THE PROCESS
IT WILL ACTUALLY HELP GET US
THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
FASTER AND WITH THAT I ASKED
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. GREAT THANK
YOU- WE HAVE A MOTION ON S. B.

INTO THE COMMITTEE. I'M
GRATEFUL TO BE HERE TODAY I
WANT TO START OFF BYSAYING I'M
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS. TO CLARIFY THAT THE
BILL ONLY APPLIES TO VERY HIGH
FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES.
INTO TIED THE BILL THE TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN OFF THE PLANE
RESEARCH TECHNICAL ADVISORY.
MEMBERS I DON'T THINK WE NEED
TO HAVE MUCH OF A CONVERSATION
REGARDING THE UNPRECEDENTED
TIMES THAT. WE'RE LIVING IN
WHEN IT WHEN IT COMES TO
WILDFIRES THAT THINK WERE IN
AGREEMENT. THAT THE SIZE AND
SCOPE OF WILDFIRES IN THE STATE
HAVE CHANGED THE FACE OF
CALIFORNIA FOREVER. THE LARGER
THE MORE DESTRUCTIVE. THEY'RE
DEADLIER NOW THE NAME EVER BEEN
IN MODERN HISTORY. THE TWENTY
TWENTY WILDFIRE SEASON BURNED
MORE THAN FOUR POINT TWO.
MILLION ACRES. MAKING IT BY FAR
THE LARGEST IN CALIFORNIA
HISTORY. EIGHT OF THE TEN
LARGEST WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA
HISTORY. OCCURRED INTHE PAST
TEN YEARS. FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE
LARGEST WILDFIRES. HAPPENED
LAST YEAR ALONE. THIS INCLUDES
THE OBVIOUS COMPLEX FIRE WHICH
BURNED OVER ONE MILLION ACRES
IN SEPTEMBER OF TWENTY TWENTY
ON THE NORTH COAST. MAKING IT
THE FIRST FIRE IN CALIFORNIA
HISTORY TO BURN OVER ONE
MILLION ACRES. OF GORGEOUS
FORCING. AND WE ALL REMEMBER
THE CAMPFIRE NEW NOVEMBER TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT WHICH TRAGICALLY
BECAUSE THE DEATHS OF EIGHTY
SIX PEOPLE. DESTROYED NINETEEN
THOUSAND STRUCTURES. WHAT ABOUT
THE NORTH BAY FIRESTORM. IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN DOZENS OF
LIVES WERE LOST. ALONG WITH
OVER SIX THOUSAND HOMES. IN IN
EACH OF THESE MAJOR FIRES TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF CALIFORNIANS
RAN FOR THEIR LIVES. MANY TIMES
IN THE DARK OF NIGHT. THE WAY
WE STRATEGICALLY GROW GROW OUR
COMMUNITIES HAS ALSO COME INTO
QUESTION IS THE REALITY OF MAKE
A FIRE HAVE SITTING HERE THE
GOLDEN STATE. WE KNOW THAT THE
DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES IN HIGH
RISK AREAS MUST CHANGE. AND IF
THEY DON'T BEING VERY CANDID
MORE DEATH. AND DESTRUCTION
WILL FOLLOW. IN FACT THE
CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE HAS ALREADY INTERVENED
WITH LAWSUITS AND THREE LARGE
LARGE DEVELOPMENTS. HI TECHS IN
THE WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE
BECAUSE OF WILDFIRE IMPACTS.
THE NEW NORMAL HERE IN THE
GOLDEN STATE. IT'S HERE AND
IT'S NOT GOING AWAY WHICH IS
WHY WE ADVANCE SB TWELVE THIS
BILL SETS A MINIMUM FLOOR FOR
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WILD IN
URBAN AIR INTERFACE CURRENT
STATE STANDARDS ARE LIMITED TO
THE BUILDING CODE. IN
REQUIREMENTS FOR ROAD SIGNS IN
FUEL BREAKS S. B. TWELVE SET UP
A TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESS FOR
THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL TO
ESTABLISH BOLD NEW STANDARDS.
THAT ENSURES DEVELOPMENTS AS A
WHOLE ARE DESIGNED DESIGNED TO
WITHSTAND WILDFIRE NOT JUST THE
BUILDINGS WITHIN THOSE
DEVELOPMENTS I WANT TO GIVE YOU
A COUPLE EXAMPLES WHAT THE
STANDARDS MAY INCLUDE. A
WILDFIRE OF WILDLAND FIRE
HAZARD ASSESSMENT IN WILDFIRE
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
STANDARDS FOR THE ORGANIZATION
DEPLOYMENT OF FIRE SUPPRESSION
OPERATIONS. LOCATION
CONSTRUCTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE
TO REDUCED IGNITION POTENTIAL
ENSURE AVAILABILITY OF WATER
ESSENTIAL FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION
DURING A WILDFIRE DEFENSIBLE
SPACE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AND
FUEL MODIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
IN AN ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
ESTABLISHED FUNDED AND
IMPLEMENTED. TO VERIFY ONGOING
COMPLAINTS BACK BY FINANCING
MECHANISMS SUCH AS H. AWAY
FUNDS SITE SPECIFIC SAFETY
MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT THE
DEVELOPMENT AS A WHOLE IS PLANT
IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED TO
RESISTING CULTURING OF
UNCONTROLLED FIRE. DEVELOPMENT
LAYOUT DEVELOPMENT LAYOUT THAT
REDUCES WILDFIRE RISK. TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.
BLUNTLY PUT THIS LEGISLATION
THAT IF DEVELOPMENT CAN'T MEET
STANDARD. LOCALS SHOULD NOT
APPROVED. BUT WHICH IS
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. THE
STANDARDS ARE TIERED SET THE
STANDARDS INCREASINGLY STRONGER
AS DEVELOPMENTS GROW LARGER IN
THOSE HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY
ZONES THE REASON IS THIS LARGER
DEVELOPMENTS PUT MORE PEOPLE
INTO THE WORLD. AND SO THEY
MUST MEET HIGHER STANDARDS AND
SMALLER DEVELOPMENTS THIS MEANS
THAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE
STRINGENT BUT NOT SO COSTLY AS
TO TOTALLY PREVENT DEVELOPMENT
WHICH BY THE WAY IS A
SIGNIFICAN AND THEN IN. THAT WE
ARE TAKING AFTER FEEDBACK FROM
GOVERNOR NEWSOME'S OFFICE. AND
WE KNOW THAT HALF OF THE
BUILDINGS LOST OVER THE LAST
DECADE WERE IN THE WILL BE.
BUILT UNDER CURRENT FIRE CODES.
THIS BILL ALSO ENHANCES THE
PLANNING THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
MUST DO INCLUDING TO COME UP
WITH A STRATEGY TO RETROFIT
EXISTING BUILDINGS. NOW THERE
ARE SOME THERE'S SOME HOPE TO
DO ABOUT THIS BILL BUT I LIKE
TO BE A TO TALK ABOUT THE
FACTS. THIS BILL IS ALMOST
IDENTICAL TO A BILL THAT WAS
APPROVED BY A BIPARTISAN
MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES AND
SENT TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK.
LIKE SAID WE MADE AMENDMENTS
TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNOR'S
CONCERNS. MANY MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE SUPPORTED. NEARLY AN
IDENTICAL BILL SB ONE EIGHTY
TWO LAST YEAR. THE PROPONENTS
ON THIS BILL WERE NEUTRAL ON
THE LEGISLATION WHICH IS NEARLY
IDENTICAL LAST YEAR. AND OTHER
CONCERNS THIS YEAR ARE WITH THE
PROVISIONS THE BILL THAT ARE
THE SAME PROVISIONS THAT WERE
CONTAINED IN THE BILL LAST YEAR.
SO WHAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO
DO IS THIS. WE BELIEVE THAT SB
TWELVE SB TWELVE WILL SAVE
LIVES SB TWELVE SAYS THAT THE
WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION
REDUCTION STANDARDS MUST BE
QUOTE.REASONABLE FEASIBLE AND
ACHIEVABLE FOR THE MAJORITY OF
DEVELOPMENTS IN EACH CATEGORY.
THIS ISN'T A QUESTION OF
INTERPRETATION IT'S BLACK AND
WHITE. IN THE STATE FIRE
MARSHAL MUST GO THROUGH THE
FULL FORMAL RULE MAKING PROCESS
TO DEVELOP THE STANDARDS. I AM
IN INDIA RIGHT HERE IN SAY
THIS. THAT WE HAVE BEEN MEETING
WITH OPPOSITION FOR THE CAST
PASSED SEVERAL MONTHS. YOU HAVE
MIGHT ONE HUNDRED AND 10%
PROMISE RING TO CONTINUE TO
MEET WITH OPPOSITION. IN
NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH AS I
ALWAYS DO FOR THE PAST SIX
YEARS IN THIS LEGISLATURE. WELL
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACH
FULL AGREEMENT YET. WE'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE CONTINUE TO
NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH. THIS
IS THE THIRD YEAR OF THIS BILL
IN THE LEGISLATURE. IN SB ONE
EIGHTY TWO IS THE ONLY BILL
THAT POUND SB TWELVE IS THE
ONLY BILL THAT BALANCES THE
NEED FOR NEW HOUSING EVEN IN
THE WILL BE WITH FIRE SAFETY.

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT CALIFORNIA
IS LIKELY TO FACE ANOTHER VERY
CHALLENGING WILDFIRE SEASON
PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE
RECORD DRY CONDITIONS AND
DROUGHT EMERGENCY CONDITION-
AND BADLY AS SENATOR REQUIRE
HAS THAT CALIFORNIA CONTINUES

TO THANK SENATOR FOR EFFORTS-
THEY ARE OF. AS WE ARE ALL TO
CALIFORNIA HAS A LARGEST MOST
IS WILDFIRE THE WILDFIRES OVER
THE LAST DECADE DEVASTATED
COMMUNITIES LARGE AND SMALL.
MILLIONS OF HOMES FACE SERIOUS
RISK OF DESTRUCTION FROM
WILDFIRE. AND THIS NUMBER
CONTINUES TO RISE AS WE ATTEMPT
TO BUILD OURSELVES OUT OF THE
STATE'S HOUSING SHORTAGE. AS WE
WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO ADDRESS
THE STATE'S HOUSING CRISIS WE
MUST KEEP THE SAFETY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES. PUTTING OUR
FIREFIGHTERS AND FIRST
RESPONDERS FRONT AND CENTER WE
SIMPLY CANNOT CONTINUE BUSINESS

HOLISTIC APPROACH NEEDED TO
ENSURE CALIFORNIA BUILT SAFELY.
THE BILL REQUIRES THE STATE
FARM MARSHAL'S OFFICE TO
DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE TIERED
WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION
STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENTS IN
OUR STATE'S MOST FIRE PRONE
AREAS AS CENTER CENTER REQUIRE
ARTICULATED. THE CITY STANDARDS
WHICH WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE
MET BEFORE LOCAL APPROVAL THE
DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE PROVISIONS
SUCH AS EMERGENCY INGRESS AND
EGRESS ROUTES. FIREBREAKS
DEFENSIBLE SPACE MAINTENANCE
AND VEGETATION MANAGEMENT WHICH
IS ALL ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL.
THIS WILL ALSO MOVES BEYOND THE
CURRENT STATE REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK WHICH IS FOCUSED ON
INDIVIDUAL STRUCTURES AND LOOKS
MORE BROADLY AT THE COMMUNITY
LEVEL IMPACTS OF WILDFIRE. SB
TWELVE DOES NOT PROHIBIT LOCAL
AGENCIES FROM APPROVING NEW
DEVELOPMENT. BUT INSTEAD
REQUIRES STRINGENT YET WORKABLE
STANDARDS AND NECESSARY PART TO

BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
HERE IN OPPOSITION SB TWELVE
TODAY. A BILL THAT CONTINUES TO
BE IDENTIFIED BY IF YOU GET ON
THE FIRST MEDIA HOUSING KILLER.
I WANT TO START MY COMMENTS BY
JUST MAKING ABSOLUTE CERTAIN TO
EXPRESS. OUR APPRECIATION OF
THE AUTHOR AND HIS STAFF HAVE
SPENT A TREMENDOUS. AMOUNT OF
TIME WITH US OVER THE PAST FEW
MONTHS- NEED TO GO SHE ASIANS
STARTED REALLY LATE JANUARY-
THE CONVERSATIONS ARE HARD.
THEY'RE VERY DIFFICULT AND
THEY'RE VERY TECHNICAL
DIFFICULT IN THE SENSE BECAUSE
AS YOU'VE HEARD AND IT'S TRUE
WILD FIRES ARE GETTING WORSE WE
SEEN LIVES LOST. AND HUMANIZE
IT MAKES EVERYONE WANT TO DO
THE RIGHT THING TO PROTECT OUR
NEIGHBORS AND PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITIES. HAVE CONCLUDED-
DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE SOLUTION
INVOLVES. LANDERS FLAWS
SHIELDING CODES FIRE CODES FOR
THE FORESTRY CODE HOW TO
IMPLEMENT DEFENSIBLE SPACE.
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT EVEN
MODIFICATIONS THE LIST GOES ON
THIS. IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE.
AT THE HEART OF THE- WE
ABSOLUTE KNOW THAT AUTHOR. IS
AN AND RAW TO MAKE SURE THAT
DOES. ARE BUILT THE MOST BUYERS
WE POP SO DO WE ALSO KNOW THAT
OUR MEMBERS. ARE SINCERE AND
RIGHT IN THEIR EXTREME
CONCERNED THAT WE GET THIS
WRONG. IT COULD BE DEVASTATING
TO THE STATE PIPELINE OF
PROJECTS NOT ONLY THE PROJECT
AND READY TO BE BUILT. THE
PROJECT THAT REPRESENT THE
DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE THAT ARE
DECADES PLUS IN DEVELOPMENT AND
REPRESENT WHAT IS OUT THERE FOR
THE FUTURE. OUR MEMBERS BUILD
EIGHTY PLUS PERCENT OF ALL THE
HOUSING IN THE STATE. AND THEIR
PROJECTS GET DERAILED IT'S NOT
AN EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT
THERE WILL NOT BE NEED FOR
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CALIFORNIANS IN THOSE PROJECTS
INCLUDE. SINGLE FAMILY MULTI
FAMILY AND AFFORDABLE PROJECTS.
WHILE ONE MAIN CONCERN
CONTINUES TO BE AROUND THE ROLE
OF PR AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN
THIS PROCESS. THE MORE TIME YOU
SPEND THIS BILL AND RECEIVE I
IT IS BEEN YEARS BUT- NOT FOR
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PEEL
BACK. AND EMBRACE WITH

AND PROVIDE NEW LEGAL ARGUMENTS.
AND UNNECESSARY LITIGATION
REYES THE LAND USE FOR
DEVELOPER THAT WHILE TO DO THE
THING WANT TO BE A HIGH THE

APPROPRIATE BALANCE OF THAT THE
MOST FIRE RESILIENT AND WELL

MULTI FAMILY ON HOUSING AND IT.
I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WOULD
NOT ALLOW THAT DISCUSSION FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHEN THEY'RE
LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SURPLUS
PROPERTY BOB FRANKLY THAT
NINETY FIVE COME ABOUT BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC AND ALL THE
INABILITY TO SUSTAIN SOME OF
THE AREAS ESPECIALLY LOOK THE
COMMERCIAL AREAS THAT HAVE GONE
ON A KIND OF DORMANT. THEY MAY
BE SENATOR CORTEZ HE CAN
ADDRESS THAT CONVERT IT IS
TRULY A- SIGNIFICANT CONCERN IN
SOME OF THE NORTH ORANGE
COUNTY. URBAN AREAS WHICH DON'T
HAVE PARKS AND DON'T HAVE THAT-
YOU KNOW SAFE ACCESS TO SCHOOLS
THAT FEDERAL THAT FROM OF THE
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE VERY.
CONCERNED ABOUT AND VERY
ACCOMMODATING I'VE- GO AHEAD A
GREAT QUESTION THANK YOU FOR
ASKING IT TO ALLOW ME TO
CLARIFY SO THE BILL IS- A
VOLUNTARY- WOULD CREATE A
VOLUNTARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN-
ANY LOCAL. AGENCY OR
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY- SEEKING
ASSISTANCE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PRODUCTION ON THEIR
SURPLUS LAND OR LAND THEY WOULD
EXPECT TO DECLARE SURPLUS.
WITHOUT IMPOSING ANY
REQUIREMENT- THERE'S NOTHING IN
THE BILL THAT IMPOSES ANY
REQUIREMENTS AS TO HOW THE USER
SURPLUS LAND- SO THEY WOULD
ACTUALLY MAKE THE DECISION
BEFORE CONTACTING THE STATE-
THAT THEY HAD DESIGNS ON
BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING-
PERHAPS YOU KNOW THROW UP THEIR
HANDS SO TO SOME DEGREE AND SAY
BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
AT WHICH POINT THEY MAKE THE
CALL- AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
MAKE SURE WHEN THEY MAKE THAT
CALL- THEY REALLY GET HE HELP
THAT THEY NEED WE HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO HELP THEM. BUT WE
HAVE FOR EXAMPLE- A PIECE OF
PROPERTY THAT'S LONG BEEN TO
COURT SURPLUS ON A LIGHT RAIL
LINE AND MY DISTRICT- I'M SURE
THERE'S MANY SUCH SITUATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. WERE HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR MORE
RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE ALLOWED BY
GENERAL PLAN- BUT IT'S OWNED.
BY A LOCAL AGENCY THAT- ISN'T
FAMILIAR WITH DEVELOPING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THEY ALSO
HAPPEN TO BE ADJACENT TO A
MAJOR REGIONAL PARKS SO THEY
CAN MAKE THE DECISION. THAT ALL
THAT GOES TO PARK. ALL THE
GIRLS WERE FOR HOUSING OR SOME
GOES TO BOTH. OR MAYBE THE
SHIFT GEARS ENTIRELY DECIDED TO
BUILD A SHOPPING CENTER OR
SOMETHING ON THAT SITE- THIS
BILL JUST SAYS IF YOU CHOOSE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING- WE'RE HERE
TO HELP YOU- IT BUT- NO MANDATE
THAT YOU ACTUALLY MAKE THAT
CHOICE. IS NOT A MANDATE AND I.
A HOPE THAT IT HELPS ANSWER THE
QUESTION. THANK YOU ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. OKAY CAN I HAVE-
THREE OF A MOTION ON SB SEVEN
NINETY ONE. PERHAPS BY SENATOR
CONWAY ARE OR ON BURKE. MOTIONS
BY CENTER ON BURKE. OKAY CENTER
YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND JUST TO CLARIFY- I
THINK- I TRY TO THINK
EXTENSIVELY- COMMITTEE STUFF
FOR MR SURE YOUR STUFF HERE ON
THE COMMITTEE FOR THE SISTINE
THOUGH OPPORTUNITY SINGLE OUT
AARON THIS BILL WAS ORIGINALLY-
AS THE ORIGINAL ARE AND THE
RESULT DRAFTING OF THE BILL-
HAD AN EMPHASIS ON FUNDING AND
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE STATE FUNDING.
WOULD BE INVOLVED- THERE'S A
WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS WE
LIKELY WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE
BILL IN TERMS OF WORKFORCE%
PROTECTIONS ETCETERA- WE TOOK
THE FUNDING. OF LANGUAGE OUT OF
THE BILL AND THE BILL IS SIMPLY
A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE BILL AT
THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO
CLARIFY THAT FOR THE RECORD I
WASN'T. ENTIRELY SURE- ON THE
OPPOSITION LINE WHAT I WAS
HEARING BUT I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT- THAT THAT
SPOKESPERSON UNDERSTOOD THAT
THE BILL WAS A TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE BILL NOW- IT DOESN'T
REALLY HAVE. A PLACE TO PUT-
FUNDING WORKFORCE- PROTECTIONS
OR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS IN IT-
AT THIS POINT ALTHOUGH-
CLEARLY- AT ONE TIME AN EARLIER
VERSION OF THE BILL DID SO.
AGAIN FOR THE RECORD- THAT
SHOULD BE A NON ISSUE AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR. YOUR VOTE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
SENATOR ARE WE HAVE A MOTION.
AND MATTER CONSULTANCY PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL. THE SENATE BILL
SEVEN NINETY ONE BY SENATOR
CORTEZ THE MOTION IS TO PASS
BUT FIRST BE REFERRED TO THE
COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATION SENATOR WIENER AYE
WIENER AYE BATES. AYE BATES AYE
CABALLERO HI COPYRIGHT
COURTESY. CURTIS HE AYE
MCGUIRE. A CHORE BOOK. SKINNER
NUMBER HI NUMBER FIVE WITH
CASKEY. FIVE ZERO THAT HAS BEEN
A VOCAL CURRENT CALL FOR UP TO
MEMBERS- BEFORE WE GO TO LESS
BILL- IF FIVE- HOUSING
COMMITTEE SEPARATIST ALERT
ABSENT MEMBERS THAT WE ARE ON
OUR LAST BILL AND THEY SHOULD
AT SOME POINT SOON MAKE THEIR
WAY ON TO THE LIFTING F THE
CALLS- FOR ITEM NUMBER TWELVE
THAT IS MY BILL IS BEFORE
SEVENTY EIGHT I'M GONNA- AND
THE PROVERBIAL OF THE- CARE
GAVEL. OVER TO OUR VICE CHAIR.
SENATOR BATES. AND YOU ARE
READY SENATOR WIFE GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU MADAM OR SIR I'M
CALLING. SENATE BILL FOUR
SEVENTY EIGHT- IS A FAIRLY
TECHNICAL- BILL AND WHAT IT
DOES IS IT MAKES MAKE SURE THAT
WHEN A CITY HAS OWNED. FOR
SMALL ZONE LOCALLY FOR SMALL
MULTI UNIT THREE TO TEN UNIT
BUILDINGS- THAT PEOPLE ARE
ACTUALLY ABLE TO BUILD THOSE
BUILDINGS- I WANT TO BE VERY
CLEAR THIS BILL HAS NO
APPLICATION. AREAS THAT ARE
ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES-
NOT EVEN FOR DUPLEXES THE BILL
ONLY APPLIES. IF THE CITY HAS
DETERMINED LOCALLY. TO DO
ZONING TO ALLOW- BUILDINGS
BETWEEN THREE AND TEN UNITS-
AND THE WHITE HOT WHAT IS
HAPPENING NOW IN A NUMBER OF
CITIES. IS THE CITY WILL ZONE
THROUGH ITS PLANNING CODE OR
GENERAL PLAN FOR SMALL MULTI
UNIT THREE FOUR SIX EIGHT TEN-
AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME.
IMPOSE HARSH SQUARE FOOTAGE
REQUIREMENTS KNOWN AS F. A. R.
FLOOR AREA RATIO. THAT MAKE IT
EFFECTIVELY IMPOSSIBLE. TO
BUILD TO THAT ZONING. SO
EXAMPLE IF A CITY ZONES. AN
AREA LOCALLY AT FOUR UNITS TO
SAY YOU CAN BUILD A FOUR UNIT
BUILDING- ON THIS PARCEL AND
THEN IT DOES NOT SAY IT'S A
THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LIVE
AND THE CITY AT THE SAME TIME
IMPOSES A VERY HARSH POINT
THREE F. A. R. WHAT THAT MEANS
IS THAT THE TOTAL SQUARE
FOOTAGE OF THAT BUILDING. WOULD
BE LIMITED TO NINE HUNDRED
SQUARE FEET WHEN YOU DIVIDE
THAT BY FOUR THAT'S TWO HUNDRED
AND TWENTY FIVE SQUARE FEET.
PER UNIT NO ONE IS GOING TO
BUILD THAT- AND IN FACT I
BELIEVE THAT IS- IT MIGHT NOT
ACTUALLY EVEN BE LEGAL IN TERMS
OF THE SIZE OF THE UNIT BEING
SO SMALL BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT
GOING TO GET BUILT AND SO
EFFECTIVELY THAT IS THE CITY.
HAVING BASICALLY FAKE ZONING
THE SALE ON PAPER REZONING FOR
FOUR UNITS OR WHATEVER THE CASE
MAY BE BUT BECAUSE OF THESE
OTHER SQUARE FOOTAGE ARBITRARY
REQUIREMENTS IT'S ACTUALLY
IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BUILD
ABOUT ZONING- THAT IS BAD
GOVERNMENT- AND WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS IT SAYS TO CITIES ONCE
YOU HAVE VOLUNTARILY LOCALLY
ZONED FOR SMALL MULTI UNIT. YOU
CAN NOT IMPOSE OTHER
RESTRICTIONS THAT EFFECTIVELY
GIVE WITH ONE HAND AND TAKE
WITH THE OTHER IT HOSTIN
DESIGNING HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING
WANT TO BE CLEAR DOESN'T APPLY
TO SINGLE FAMILY THIS BILL DOES
NOT CHANGE OUR ZONING THIS ONLY
APPLIES TO THE CITY GETS A SET
ITS OWN LOCAL ZONING IN THIS
BILL DOES NOT CHANGE THE NUMBER
BILL UNITS YOU'RE ALLOWED TO
BILLS THE BILL DOES NOT CHANGE
THE HEIGHT. LIMIT THAT'S A
LOCAL IT DOESN'T CHANGE
SETBACKS DOESN'T CHANGE DESIGN
STANDARDS AND I GOT A DOESN'T
EVEN APPLY IN AREAS THAT ARE
ZONED. SINGLE FAMILY. THE
ANSWER WHAT IT DOES IS IF YOU
HAVE OWN LOCAL. BETWEEN AND SO
YEAR- THE APP ARE WILL BE ONE
POINT OH AND I WANT TO KNOW.
THAT ONCE THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO RECENTLY ZONED ITS
ENTIRE CITY FOR FOUR UNITS FOR
CLOCKS- SACRAMENTO UPDATED ITS
FLOOR AREA RATIO TO BE ONE
POINT NO. BECAUSE IT'S LOWER
FLOOR AREA RATIO THAT HAD
EXISTED WOULD HAVE MADE IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY BUILD.
FOUR PLEXUS- AND SEVERED WHAT
WE'RE DOINGIS IN LINE WITH
WHAT- YOU KNOW OTHER CITIES OF
DOMINICK DUNNE THIS
VOLUNTARILY- AND THEN FOR
BUILDINGS THAT ARE EIGHT TO TEN
UNIT C. F. A. R. WOULD BE ONE
POINT TWO. FIVE SO THIS WILL
SIMPLY ENABLE PEOPLE TO BUILD.
TO THE DENSITY THAT THE CITY
HAS DETERMINED IT WANTS LOCALLY
THE OTHER PIECE OF THE BILL-
HAS TO DO WITH A PARCEL SIZES
THAT IF. CITIES HAVE MINIMUM
LOT SIZES BUT IF YOU HAVE A
NONCONFORMING LOT SIZE SAYS A
PRE EXISTED- THEM THE CITY'S
MODERN ZONING- THAT THE CITY
COULD NOT USE THAT AS A BASIS
TO THE NIGHT- PROJECT. ON SO
COLLEAGUES THIS IS
FUNDAMENTALLY A GOOD
GOVERNMENT- LAW THAT RESPECTS
AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF LOCAL
CONTROL- BUT IS SIMPLY
REQUIRING CITIES TO DO WHAT
THEY SAY- THEY SUPPOSEDLY-
DOING AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK.
OUR FOREIGN RIVALS WHO ARE WITH
ME TODAY TESTIFIED- ARE LUIS
MERON TODAY FROM CALIFORNIA
