The Planning and Zoning Law requires an action or proceeding against local zoning and planning decisions of a legislative body to be commenced and the legislative body to be served within a year of accrual of the cause of action, if it meets certain requirements. Where the action or proceeding is brought in support of, or to encourage or facilitate the development of, housing that would increase the community's supply of affordable housing, a cause of action accrues 60 days after a certain notice is filed or the legislative body takes a final action in response to the notice, whichever occurs first. This bill would authorize the notice to be filed any time within 180 days after specified zoning and planning decisions, but would set a 270-day period for notice with respect to an adopted or revised housing element that is found to substantially comply with law, and a 2-year period for notice with respect to an adopted or revised housing element that is found not to substantially comply with law. This bill would also establish a 6-month limitations period for the commencement of an action or proceeding arising from a notice subject to the 270-day period, a one-year limitations period for the commencement of an action or proceeding arising from a notice subject to the 2-year period, and a 180-day limitations period for the commencement of an action or proceeding arising from a notice subject to the 180-day period. The bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to modify a specified court opinion. The bill would also provide that in an action or proceeding subject to these provisions, no remedy pursuant to specified provisions of law shall abrogate, impair, or otherwise interfere with the full exercise of the rights and protections granted to a tentative map application or a developer, as prescribed. The bill would make further conforming changes.
