AB 2797 (Bloom) Planning and Zoning. Density Bonuses. Chapter 904, Statutes of 2018 This measure requires any density bonus, concessions, incentives, waivers, or reductions of development standards, and parking ratios to which the applicant is entitled to under the statutes related to density bonuses to be permitted in a manner that is consistent with Density Bonus Law and the California Coastal Act of 1976. This measure also contains uncodified language that states that it is the intent of Legislature in amending subdivision (m) of Section 65915 of the Government Code to supersede the holding and dicta in Kalnel Gardens, LLC v. City of Los Angeles that Section 65915 is subordinate to the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Public Resources Code Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000)). The Legislature's intent is that the two statutes be harmonized. AB 2913 (Wood) Building Standards. Building Permits Expiration. Chapter 655, Statutes of 2018 This measure requires a building permit to be valid for 12 months if work authorized by the permit has not commenced from the date a permit is issued, unless the permittee requests an extension; authorizes a local building official to grant one or more extensions of up to 180 days each, provided the extension is requested in writing and demonstrates justifiable cause; and provides that a local ordinance adding or modifying building standards for residential occupancies do not apply to a permit that is subsequently deemed expired because construction has not commenced within 12 months of the date of issuance or the permittee has abandoned the work authorized by the permit.

Chapter 1000, Statutes of 2018 This measure gives the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) land use authority over BART owned land within one-half mile of an existing or planned BART station.

This measure will sunset on January 1 , 2029. SB 828 (Wiener) Land Use. Housing Element. Chapter 974, Statutes of 2018 This measure makes numerous changes to the RHNA process.
