<br />DRAFT 2024 Legislative Positions <br /> <br />3 | P a g e <br />Updated 4.17.2024 <br /> Bill # and Title Description Recommended <br />City Position <br />TVC <br />Position/League <br />Position <br />met. The bill would, if a local government’s planning director or <br />equivalent position determines that the adaptive reuse project <br />submitted pursuant to these provisions is consistent with the <br />objective planning standards, require the local government to <br />approve the adaptive reuse project within specified timeframes. <br />This bill would exempt an adaptive reuse project from all impact <br />fees that are not directly related to the impacts resulting from the <br />change of use of the site from nonresidential to residential or mixed <br />use and would require any fees charged to be proportional to the <br />difference in impacts caused by the change of use. The California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as <br />defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the <br />completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it <br />proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect <br />on the environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of <br />ministerial projects. This bill, by establishing the streamlined, <br />ministerial review process described above, would exempt the <br />approval of adaptive reuse projects subject to those processes <br />from CEQA. <br />5 AB 3177 (Carillo) <br /> <br />Mitigation Fee Act: <br />land dedications: <br />mitigating vehicular <br />traffic impacts <br />Existing law requires a local agency that imposes a fee on a <br />housing development for the purpose of mitigating vehicular traffic <br />impacts to set the rate for the fee to reflect a lower rate of <br />automobile trip generation if the housing development satisfies <br />specified characteristics, including that the housing development is <br />located within a 1/2 mile of a transit station. Existing law defines <br />transit station for these purposes to mean a rail or light-rail station, <br />ferry terminal, bus hub, or bus transfer station. This bill would <br />instead require the housing development to be located within a 1/2 <br />mile of a transit priority area for purposes of a local agency setting <br />the rate for a mitigating vehicular traffic impacts fee to reflect a <br />lower rate of automobile trip generation. The bill would define <br />“transit priority area” as an area within 1/2 mile of a major transit <br />stop that is existing or planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to <br />be completed within the planning horizon included in a <br />Oppose unless <br />amended <br /> <br />(limits ability to <br />require mitigation of <br />traffic impacts in the <br />form of fees and <br />land dedications) <br />None/Track <br />Page 72 of 448
