Zoning regulations: interim ordinances.

Abstract

The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes the legislative body of a city, including a charter city, a county, or a city and county under specified conditions to adopt for a period of 45 days as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, the planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Existing law prohibits the extension of an interim ordinance that would have the effect of denying approvals needed for the development of projects with a significant component of multifamily housing, except upon specified findings supported by substantial evidence on the record. This bill would instead prohibit an interim ordinance from having the effect of denying approvals needed for the development of projects with a significant component of multifamily housing. This bill would additionally make findings and declarations that addressing housing matters, including the development of multifamily housing, is a matter of statewide concern, and the bill therefore applies to all cities, including charter cities.
