1 Bill Summaries – July 20, 2022

AB 2011 (Wicks) – Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022

&

SB 6 (Caballero) – Local planning: housing: commercial zones

Both measures are similar in that they allow for the development of residential units in non- residentially zoned areas, so long as developers use workers with increased benefits and labor protections. However, there are notable differences between the two bills, including:
• By-right vs. allowable use. AB 2011 makes residential development by -right on commercial parcels; SB 6 makes it an “allowable use,” which means that local governments could still exercise a measure of discretionary approval over SB 6 projects. However, SB 6 does allow by-right development on commercial parcels if the project meets the requirements of SB 35 (Wiener, 2017), aside from that law’s requirement that the parcel for the project be zoned for residential use.

• Development potential. AB 2011 allows developers to build to significantly greater heights and density, with smaller setbacks, than are often allowed under local zoning. SB 6, by contrast generally defers to existing local zoning that applies to nearby parcels that allow residential use, so long as the zoning meets the relatively modest Mullin densities. Accordingly, AB 2011 will allow many more units to be built on the same site when compared to SB 6.

• Applicability to parcels. Both AB 2011 and SB 6 apply to commercial zones. However, AB 2011 limits the mixed income portion of the bill to commercial corridors, requires the projects to be infill sites, and excludes specified sensitive sites. SB 6 instead applies more uniformly to commercial parcels because it does not include those limitations. However, SB 6 projects are subject to even greater limitations than AB 2011 if a developer uses SB 35 to gain by -right approval authority because it also excludes the coastal zone.

• Affordability requirements. Both AB 2011 and SB 6 require 15 percent affordable units for lower -income households in rental projects. However, AB 2011 allows additional flexibility by allowing a project to qualify with 30 percent moderate-income units if the project is an ownership project.

• Labor standards. AB 2011 includes less stringent labor standards than most other bills the Legislature has seen on zoning in recent years. SB 6 requires for the use of a skilled and trained workforce.

• Commercial vacancy. In order to use the by-right provisions of SB 6, the site must have had no commercial tenants on 50 percent or more of its space for at least three years prior to an application being submitted. In the absence of the by -right provisions, local governments could require ground floor retail or additional retail on the site to mitigate the loss of commercial space. AB 2011 includes no vacancy

2 requirements and instead limits the commercial portion of a development to 50 percent of the ground floor.

• Sunset. SB 6 includes a January 1, 2029 sunset; AB 2011 does not contain a sunset.

Both authors have iterated that the bills are not in their final form and there will be negotiations over summer recess to address differences and opposition concerns, which will materialize into additional amendments.

Status

AB 2011 and SB 6 are both in their respective Appropriations Committees.

SB 361 (Umberg) – Surplus land: Orange County

SB 1338 (Umberg) – Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Court Program

Summary

• This bill creates the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Court program, which authorizes specified persons to petition a civil court to exercise jurisdiction over individuals suffering from specified mental health disorders; if the court determines the individual is eligible for the CARE Court program, the court will order the implementation of a CARE plan, as devised by the relevant county behavioral services agency, and oversee the individual’s participation in the plan.

• Provides that CARE Court hearings are presumptively closed to the public; the individual who is the subject of the proceeding may request the presence of any family member or friend without waiving the right to keep the hearing closed to others, but a request by any

7 other party to open the proceeding may be granted only if the court finds that the public interest in an open hearing clearly outweighs the individual’s interest in privacy.

• Permits a person, at the end of the one-year CARE program, to request graduation from the program or voluntary reappointment for one additional year only. The person may be involuntarily reappointed only if the person did not successfully complete the program and other conditions are met.

• Provides that, if the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person is not participating in CARE proceedings or is failing to comply with their CARE plan, the court may terminate the individual’s participation in he CARE program and may use its authority under the LPS Ac t to ensure the person’s safety. In such a subsequent proceeding, the individual’s termination from the CARE program may be used as a factual presumption that no suitable community alternatives are available to treat the individual.
