Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the purpose of incarceration is rehabilitation accomplished only if the period of imprisonment is used to maximize personal growth for all residents and facilitate their reintegration into society upon release, enabling them to lead law-abiding and self-sufficient lives, reducing recidivism. The Legislature finds and declares that community-based organizations are an integral part of achieving the state’s objective of ensuring that all people incarcerated in a state prison have access to rehabilitative programs.

(b) The Legislature recognizes that life in prison can never be the same as life in a free society. However, active steps should be taken to make conditions in prison as close to normal life as possible, aside from loss of liberty, and to ensure that this normalization does not lead to inhumane prison conditions.

(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation integrate, to the extent possible, the principles of normalization and dynamic security to establish safer conditions for incarcerated persons and correctional staff. The Legislature recognizes that the principle of dynamic security promotes a healthier environment for correctional officers, staff, and individuals within a correctional facility by improving the relationship between incarcerated individuals and staff. Improved communication, mentorship, and normalization improve health outcomes for department staff and incarcerated individuals by reducing risks such as violent behavior, recidivism, and stress. The Legislature also recognizes the principle of normalization, which states that life inside prison should be as close to life outside of prison as possible, and should prepare incarcerated persons to be productive and contributing members of society upon their release.

(d) The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is directed to maintain a mission statement consistent with the principles of normalization and dynamic security, shall facilitate access for community-based programs, and should develop training for all correctional staff on the principles of normalization and dynamic security in order to meaningfully effectuate the principles set forth in this section.

This includes the failure to give timely notice to the builder after discovery of a violation, but does not include damages due to the untimely or inadequate response of a builder to the homeowner’s claim.

(c) To the extent it is caused by the homeowner or his or her agent, employee, general contractor, subcontractor, independent contractor, or consultant by virtue of their failure to follow the builder’s or manufacturer’s recommendations, or commonly accepted homeowner maintenance obligations. In order to rely upon this defense as it relates to a builder’s recommended maintenance schedule, the builder shall show that the homeowner had written notice of these schedules and recommendations and that the recommendations and schedules were reasonable at the time they were issued.

(d) To the extent it is caused by the homeowner or his or her agent’s or an independent third party’s alterations, ordinary wear and tear, misuse, abuse, or neglect, or by the structure’s use for something other than its intended purpose.

(e) To the extent that the time period for filing actions bars the claimed violation.

(f) As to a particular violation for which the builder has obtained a valid release.

(g) To the extent that the builder’s repair was successful in correcting the particular violation of the applicable standard.

(h) As to any causes of action to which this statute does not apply, all applicable affirmative defenses are preserved.

(c) The strategy committee shall develop and describe in its grant application a comprehensive county plan for providing a cost-effective continuum of responses and services for mentally ill adult offenders or mentally ill juvenile offenders, including prevention, intervention, and incarceration-based services, as appropriate. The plan shall describe how the responses and services included in the plan have been proven to be or are designed to be effective in addressing the mental health needs of the target offender population, while also reducing recidivism and custody levels for mentally ill offenders in adult or juvenile detention or correctional facilities. Strategies for prevention, intervention, and incarceration-based services in the plan shall include, but not be limited to, all of the following:

(1) Mental health and substance abuse treatment for mentally ill adult offenders or mentally ill juvenile offenders who are presently placed, incarcerated, or housed in a local adult or juvenile detention or correctional facility or who are under supervision by the probation department after having been released from a state or local adult or juvenile detention or correctional facility.

These changes in the law are consistent with the responsibility of local government to adopt the program required by subdivision (c) of Section 65583.

(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the costs of new housing developments have been increased, in part, by the existing permit process and by existing land use regulations and that vitally needed housing developments have been halted or rendered infeasible despite the benefits to the public health, safety, and welfare of those developments and despite the absence of adverse environmental impacts. It is, therefore, necessary to enact this chapter and to amend existing statutes which govern housing development so as to provide greater encouragement for local and state governments to approve needed and sound housing developments.

(b) Creating ownership opportunities can be an effective long-term strategy for building wealth and can create a path to financial security.

(c) Building more homes near transit access reduces housing and transportation costs for California families, and promotes environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduced traffic congestion.

(d) Public transit systems require sustainable funding to provide reliable service, especially in areas experiencing increased density and ridership. The state does not invest in public transit service to the same degree as it does in roads, and the state funds a smaller proportion of the state’s major transit agencies’ operations costs than other states with comparable systems. Transit systems in other countries derive significant revenue from transit-oriented development at and near their stations.

The Legislature finds and declares that , because substantial public moneys will be expended on the development of the West Side Freeway portion of Interstate Route 5, including the development of recreational and scenic observation sites in relatively undeveloped areas, and because new commercial and other development tends to locate at freeway interchanges in these areas, and this development may be detrimental to both traffic capacity and safety and to the preservation of the scenic characteristics along the freeway route, it is therefore necessary, in the interests of the public health, safety, and welfare, and to safeguard community economic development along the route of the freeway, to establish controls over the kinds, intensity, and design of land use and development that are permitted to occur at those interchanges along the freeway route from its intersection with the San Joaquin River to the junction of the route with State Highway Route 99 in the vicinity of Wheeler Ridge.

Section 65584.08
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1) The state faces a serious housing crisis, due in part to decades of underproduction of housing of all types, to serve all income levels. A key factor in addressing this crisis is to significantly increase housing production in all cities and counties across the state.

(2) The general plan of the County of Napa has designated significant amounts of land in the county as agricultural resources and agricultural watershed or open-space. A voter-approved initiative prohibits the redesignation of land designated as an agricultural resource or agricultural watershed or open-space without voter approval unless certain narrow exemptions apply. Due to the lack of urban services, including the provision of water and wastewater services, and infrastructure, the County of Napa has generally been concentrated in or around incorporated areas rather than in remote or rural locations in order to ensure adequate service connections.

(3) The Napa Pipe project, which has been in the planning phase for nearly a decade, was initially located on unincorporated land in the county, but the City of Napa is annexing the property in phases as development moves forward.

(4) The developer has requested an amendment to the Napa Pipe project approvals to prioritize housing in the first phase of the project. Because the first phase has already been approved by the City of Napa, these housing units cannot, under existing law, be counted toward the County of Napa’s regional housing need allocation or reported on the county’s annual progress report.

(5) Therefore, a unique circumstance exists wherein the County of Napa entitled the Napa Pipe project on unincorporated land, a portion of which was later annexed to the City of Napa. Since the county approved the project, the project’s intent has been for the county to help fund the construction of affordable units in the project while counting any constructed affordable and moderate-income housing units toward the county’s regional housing need allocation before the annexation. Because the project now envisions developing housing units on portions of the project site that have already been annexed by the city, the project cannot be realized as originally planned and approved under existing law.

(6) The Legislature recognizes the importance of the Napa Pipe project, under which at least 700 units of housing will be constructed and up to 945 units with a density bonus.

(7) Therefore, the Legislature finds a unique circumstance exists under which the County of Napa may be allowed to count housing units built on land within the jurisdiction of the City of Napa toward the county’s housing production targets on the county’s annual progress report.

(8) The Legislature finds that this unique circumstance is not intended to set a precedent or encourage or justify future similar actions by a county or city.

(b) The County of Napa and the City of Napa may reach a mutually acceptable agreement to allow one of those jurisdictions to report on its annual housing production report to the department, pursuant to subparagraph (H) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400, those completed entitlements, building permits, and certificates of occupancy issued by the other jurisdiction for the development of housing if all of the following conditions are met:

(1) Both jurisdictions have adopted a housing element that, pursuant to Section 65585, the department has found to be in substantial compliance with this article.

(2) Within the 12 months preceding the effective date of the agreement, both jurisdictions have submitted to the department the annual report required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400.

(3) The completed entitlements, building permits, and certificates of occupancy that are to be reported by one of the jurisdictions will not also be reported on the housing production report of the other jurisdiction.

(4) One of the following conditions applies with respect to a housing development that will be reported by a jurisdiction under an agreement pursuant to this section:

(A) The housing development is proposed to be located in an area subject to the housing element of the County of Napa at the time of the final allocation of regional housing need under Section 65584.03, 65584.04, or 65584.06, as applicable, that is subsequently annexed by the City of Napa, provided that all of the following conditions are met:

(i) The City of Napa annexed the territory after the final allocation of regional housing need.

(ii) The council of governments, the subregional entity, or the department, as applicable, provides written confirmation that the methodology used to allocate the share of the regional housing need did not account for the annexation.

(iii) There was no transfer of units from the site of the housing development pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 65584.07 of a portion of the County of Napa’s allocation of regional housing need to the City of Napa.

(B) The housing development is located on land owned by one of the jurisdictions that is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the other jurisdiction.

(C) The housing development is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of one jurisdiction and receives funding from the other jurisdiction.

(5) Before approval of the agreement, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Napa and the City Council of the City of Napa each hold a public hearing to solicit public comment on the proposed agreement. The County of Napa and the City of Napa shall each make available copies of the proposed agreement in advance of the hearing that contain the following information:

(A) Information to show that the proposed agreement complies with the requirements of this section.

(B) Identification of the site of each proposed housing development.

(C) The total number of units to be constructed in each income category.

(D) The total number of units that will be shown in the annual housing production report of each jurisdiction.

(6) Following the hearing required by paragraph (5), the board of supervisors of the County of Napa and the City Council of the City of Napa each approve the proposed agreement. The Board of Supervisors of the County of Napa and the city council of the City of Napa shall not approve the proposed agreement unless they make written findings, based on substantial evidence, as to all of the following:

(A) The proposed agreement complies with the requirements of this section.

(B) The agreement will not cause or exacerbate racial, ethnic, or economic segregation.

(C) The housing developments that are to be reported by a jurisdiction under the agreement do not include any housing development that is located in a census tract where more than 50 percent of the population are very low income households, as defined in Section 50105 of the Health and Safety Code, unless the housing development is within one-half mile of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code.

(D) The housing developments that are to be reported by a jurisdiction under the agreement do not include any housing development the completion of which would result in a reduction in the number of housing units, or a reduction in the affordability of housing units, on the site where the housing development is proposed to be built.

(c) This section does not waive or reduce any jurisdiction’s obligation pursuant to Section 65863 to ensure that its housing element inventory accommodates, at all times throughout the housing planning period, its remaining unmet share of its regional housing need. If, at any time, the site of a proposed housing development that is the subject of an agreement approved pursuant to this section is no longer adequate to meet the requirements of Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Section 65584, the jurisdiction shall comply with the requirements of subdivision (c) of Section 65863. Failure to comply with this requirement shall constitute a violation of Section 65863 within the meaning of subdivision (j) of Section 65585, and the department shall notify the office of the Attorney General of that violation pursuant to Section 65585.3.

(a) A local ordinance may require the payment of a fee as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of issuing a building permit for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing bridges over waterways, railways, freeways, and canyons, or constructing major thoroughfares. The ordinance may require payment of fees pursuant to this section if all of the following requirements are satisfied:

(1) The ordinance refers to the circulation element of the general plan and, in the case of bridges, to the transportation or flood control provisions thereof that identify railways, freeways, streams, or canyons for which bridge crossings are required on the general plan or local roads and in the case of major thoroughfares, to the provisions of the circulation element that identify those major thoroughfares whose primary purpose is to carry through traffic and provide a network connecting to the state highway system, if the circulation element, transportation or flood control provisions have been adopted by the local agency 30 days prior to the filing of a map or application for a building permit.

(2) The ordinance provides that there will be a public hearing held by the governing body for each area benefited. Notice shall be given pursuant to Section 65091 and shall include preliminary information related to the boundaries of the area of benefit, estimated cost, and the method of fee apportionment. The area of benefit may include land or improvements in addition to the land or improvements that are the subject of any map or building permit application considered at the proceedings.

(3) The ordinance provides that at the public hearing the boundaries of the area of benefit, the costs, whether actual or estimated, and a fair method of allocation of costs to the area of benefit and fee apportionment are established. The method of fee apportionment, in the case of major thoroughfares, shall not provide for higher fees on land that abuts the proposed improvement except where the abutting property is provided direct usable access to the major thoroughfare. A description of the boundaries of the area of benefit, the costs, whether actual or estimated, and the method of fee apportionment established at the hearing shall be incorporated in a resolution of the governing body, a certified copy of which shall be recorded by the governing body conducting the hearing with the recorder of the county in which the area of benefit is located. The apportioned fees shall be applicable to all property within the area of benefit and shall be payable as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of issuing a building permit for the property or portions of the property. Where the area of benefit includes lands not subject to the payment of fees pursuant to this section, the governing agency shall make provision for payment of the share of improvement costs apportioned to those lands from other sources.

(4) The ordinance provides that payment of fees shall not be required unless the major thoroughfares are in addition to, or a reconstruction of, any existing major thoroughfares serving the area at the time of the adoption of the boundaries of the area of benefit.

(5) The ordinance provides that payment of fees shall not be required unless the planned bridge facility is an original bridge serving the area or an addition to any existing bridge facility serving the area at the time of the adoption of the boundaries of the area of benefit. The fees shall not be expended to reimburse the cost of existing bridge facility construction.

(6) The ordinance provides that if, within the time when protests may be filed under the provisions of the ordinance, there is a written protest, filed with the clerk of the legislative body, by the owners of more than one-half of the area of the property to be benefited by the improvement, and sufficient protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the area represented to less than one-half of that to be benefited, then the proposed proceedings shall be abandoned, and the legislative body shall not, for one year from the filing of that written protest, commence or carry on any proceedings for the same improvement or acquisition under this section.

(b) Any protest may be withdrawn by the owner protesting, in writing, at any time prior to the conclusion of a public hearing held pursuant to the ordinance.

(c) If any majority protest is directed against only a portion of the improvement, then all further proceedings under the provisions of this section to construct that portion of the improvement so protested against shall be barred for a period of one year, but the legislative body may commence new proceedings not including any part of the improvement or acquisition so protested against. Nothing in this section prohibits a legislative body, within that one-year period, from commencing and carrying on new proceedings for the construction of a portion of the improvement so protested against if it finds, by the affirmative vote of four-fifths of its members, that the owners of more than one-half of the area of the property to be benefited are in favor of going forward with that portion of the improvement or acquisition.

(d) Nothing in this section precludes the processing and recordation of maps in accordance with other provisions of this division if the proceedings are abandoned.

(e) Fees paid pursuant to an ordinance adopted pursuant to this section shall be deposited in a planned bridge facility or major thoroughfare fund. A fund shall be established for each planned bridge facility project or each planned major thoroughfare project. If the benefit area is one in which more than one bridge or major thoroughfare is required to be constructed, a fund may be so established covering all of the bridge and major thoroughfare projects in the benefit area. Moneys in the fund shall be expended solely for the construction or reimbursement for construction of the improvement or improvements serving the area to be benefited and from which the fees comprising the fund were collected, or to reimburse the local agency for the cost of constructing the improvement or improvements.

(f) An ordinance adopted pursuant to this section may provide for the acceptance of considerations in lieu of the payment of fees.

(g) A local agency imposing fees pursuant to this section may advance money from its general fund or road fund to pay the cost of constructing the improvements and may reimburse the general fund or road fund for any advances from planned bridge facility or major thoroughfares funds established to finance the construction of those improvements.

(h) A local agency imposing fees pursuant to this section may incur an interest-bearing indebtedness for the construction of bridge facilities or major thoroughfares. However, the sole security for repayment of that indebtedness shall be moneys in planned bridge facility or major thoroughfares funds.

(i) (1) The term “construction,” as used in this section, includes design, acquisition of rights-of-way, administration of construction contracts, and actual construction.

(2) The term “construction,” as used in this section, with respect to the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and Los Angeles County only, includes design, acquisition of rights-of-way, and actual construction, including, but not limited to, all direct and indirect environmental, engineering, accounting, legal, administration of construction contracts, and other services necessary therefor. The term “construction,” with respect to the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and Los Angeles County only, also includes reasonable administrative expenses, not exceeding three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) in any calendar year after January 1, 1986, as adjusted annually for any increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for All Urban Consumers, San Diego, California (1967 = 100), and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California (1967 = 100), respectively, as published by the United States Department of Commerce for the purpose of constructing bridges and major thoroughfares. “Administrative expenses” means those office, personnel, and other customary and normal expenses associated with the direct management and administration of the agency, but not including costs of construction.

(3) The term “construction,” as used in this section, with respect to Los Angeles County only, shall have the same meaning as in paragraph (2) in either of the following circumstances:

(A) The area of benefit includes, and all of the bridge and major thoroughfare project improvements lie within, both a city or a portion of a city and adjacent portions of unincorporated area.

(B) All of the area of benefit and all of the bridge and major thoroughfare project improvements lie completely within the boundaries of a city.

(j) Nothing in this section precludes a county or city from providing funds for the construction of bridge facilities or major thoroughfares to defray costs not allocated to the area of benefit.
