FOR MEETING: Jun 27 2023
SUBJECT: DCA Film Permits - Second Reading.

ATTACHMENTS:

• Chapter 19.35 Film Permits
draft
BACKGROUND:

On June 13, 2023, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing to amend the Development Code, adding Chapter

19.35 expanding the regulations for the issuance of film permits.

In brief, the proposed Film Permit Ordinance makes the following changes to the way film permits are processed:
 Film Permits would be separated from the Temporary Use Permit section of the Development Code
 Application processing time has been reduced from 30 days to 10 days  There are no restrictions on the number of Film Permits on any given location, such as there is under Temporary Use Permits
 If there are five (5) or fewer personnel (including crew) involved in a film shoot, there are no more than two passenger vehicles, and no other criteria are met (i.e. the use of pyrotechnics or road closures), then no Film Permit is required.

The Planning Commission held a study session at their meeting of March 07, 2023, creating regulations for Film Permit processing. Currently, Film Permits are included as a part of the Temporary Use Permit (TUP) regulations. Commission direction was to separate out Film Permits from TUP's and create a new Chapter within the Development Code.

At the meeting of April 18, 2023, the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on a Development Code Amendment adding Chapter 19.35 Film Permits as written. The Commission forwarded a recommendation to the City Council for adoption of the Ordinance. Page 27 of 227 The draft regulations for Film Permits was presented to the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) on April 19, 2023 and the following changes were recommended:
 Student productions should be exempt from fees
 Filming in the National Park buffer zone should require a City approved conservationist.

These items have not been included in the draft Ordinance, as neither of these subjects are in the purview of the PAAC.

Staff has created a draft Ordinance which identifies when a permit is required, two levels of permitting based upon length of filming activity, conditions of approval and additional permits or approvals that may be required.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose to:

1. Request additional information from Staff and postpone the adoption of the Ordinance to a date certain.

2. Deny the Development Code Amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

Summary: Current law requires land to be declared surplus land or exempt surplus land, as supported by written findings, before a local agency takes any action to dispose of it consistent with the agency’s policies or procedures. Current law requires any local agency disposing of surplus land to send, prior to disposing of that property or participating in negotiations to dispose of that property with a prospective transferee, a written notice of availability of the property pursuant to prescribed procedures. This bill would expand “exempt surplus land” to include a parcel that is (1) identified in the local agency’s circulation element or capital improvement program for future roadway development, (2) no larger than 2 acres, (3) zoned for retail commercial use, and leased for a purpose consistent with the underlying zoning, and (4) abuts a state highway right-of-way.

Summary: Current law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency, as defined, and requires, except as provided, a local agency disposing of surplus land to comply with certain notice requirements before disposing of the land or participating in negotiations to dispose of the land with a prospective transferee, particularly that the local agency send a notice of availability to specified entities that have notified the Department of Housing and Community Development of their interest in surplus land, as specified. Under current law, if the local agency receives a notice of interest, the local agency is required to engage in good faith negotiations with the entity desiring to purchase or lease the surplus land. Current law requires a local agency to take formal action in a regular public meeting to declare land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use and to declare land as either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land,” as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with an agency’s policies or procedures. This bill would recast that provision and would exempt a local agency, in specified instances, from making a declaration at a public meeting for land that is “exempt surplus land” if the local agency identifies the land in a notice that is published and available for public comment at least 30 days before the exemption takes effect.

Summary: Current law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency. Current law defines terms for these purposes, including, among others, “surplus land” to mean land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use. Current law defines “exempt surplus land” to mean, among other things, surplus land that a local agency is exchanging for another property necessary for the agency’s use and surplus land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state, or federal agency for the agency’s use. Current law provides that an agency is not required to follow the requirements for disposal of surplus land for “exempt surplus land,” except as provided. This bill would provide, until January 1, 2024, that land that is subject to a sectional planning area, as described, is not subject to the above-described requirements for the disposal of surplus land if specified conditions are met. The bill would, commencing April 1, 2025, and annually thereafter, require a local agency that disposes of land pursuant to these provisions submit a specified report to the Department of Housing and Community Development.

Summary: Current law establishes procedures for the disposal of surplus land, including requiring certain information to be provided to the Department of Housing and Community Development. These procedures do not apply to the disposal of exempt surplus land. Current law describes various categories of “exempt surplus land,” including surplus land that is less than 5,000 square feet in area, less than the minimum legal residential building lot size for the jurisdiction in which the parcel is located, or 5,000 square feet in area, whichever is less, or has no record access and is less than 10,000 square feet in area; and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderateincome housing purposes. In this regard, if this category of surplus land is not sold to an owner of contiguous land, it is not considered exempt surplus land and is subject to the surplus land procedures. This bill would expand the above category of “exempt surplus land” to include land that is designated in an adopted downtown revitalization plan not to exceed 1.1 square miles and includes residential, commercial, office, civic and hospitality uses.

Summary: Current law prescribes requirements for the disposal of land determined to be surplus land by a local agency. Those requirements include a requirement that a local agency, before disposing of a property or participating in negotiations to dispose of that property with a prospective transferee, send a written notice of availability of the property to specified entities, depending on the property’s intended use, and send specified information in regard to the disposal of the parcel of surplus land to the Department of Housing and Community Development. Current law, among other enforcement provisions, makes a local agency that disposes of land in violation of these disposal provisions, after receiving notification of violation from the department, liable for a penalty of 30% of the final sale price of the land sold in violation for a first violation and 50% for any subsequent violation. Under current law, except as specified, a local agency has 60 days to cure or correct an alleged violation before an enforcement action may be brought. This bill would require a local agency that has received a notification of violation from the department to hold an open and public session to review and consider the substance of the notice of violation. The bill would require the local agency’s governing body to provide prescribed notice no later than 14 days before the public session.

Summary: Current law provides that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to an action taken by a public agency to lease, convey, or encumber land owned by a public entity or to facilitate the lease, conveyance, or encumbrance of land owned by a public agency, or to provide financial assistance to, or otherwise approve, a Low Barrier Navigation Center constructed or allowed by existing law. CEQA does not apply to the ministerial approval of projects. Current law prescribes requirements for notifying a developer that its application for a Low Barrier Navigation Center development is complete and for the local jurisdiction to complete its review of the application. Current law declares that Low Barrier Navigation Center developments are essential tools for alleviating the homelessness crisis in this state and are a matter of statewide concern and thus applicable to charter cities. Current law repeals these provisions as of January 1, 2027. This bill would additionally require an opportunity housing project, as defined, to be a use by right if the project has a housing transition plan for a situation when the parcel on which the project is located is no longer suitable for opportunity housing projects, as specified. The bill would also expand use by right to include sites used pursuant to Executive Order No. N-23-20 and areas zoned for medical use or faith-based use. The bill would provide that these provisions do not apply to an opportunity housing project located on a site in a nonresidential zone unless the site is located near amenities and services that serve people experiencing homelessness, as specified. The bill, by authorizing additional developments to be a use by right under certain circumstances, would expand the exemption for the ministerial approval of projects under CEQA.

Summary: That Housing Accountability Act states that it shall not be construed to prohibit a local agency from requiring a housing development project to comply with objective, quantifiable, written development standards, conditions, and policies appropriate to, and consistent with, meeting the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need, except as provided.

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, longterm general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. That law allows a development proponent to submit an application for a development that is subject to a specified streamlined, ministerial approval process not subject to a conditional use permit, if the development satisfies certain objective planning standards. The Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Finance Act establishes the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee within the Department of Housing and Community Development. Current law requires the committee to allocate state low-income housing tax credits in conformity with state and federal law that establishes a maximum rent that may be charged to a tenant for a project unit constructed using low-income housing tax credits. This bill would require that a housing development project be a use by right upon the request of an applicant who submits an application for streamlined approval, on any land owned by an independent institution of higher education or religious institution on or before January 1, 2024, if the development satisfies specified criteria, including that the development is not adjoined to any site where more than one-third of the square footage on the site is dedicated to industrial use.

Summary: The Outdoor Advertising Act prohibits a lawfully erected advertising display within the state from being compelled to be removed or its customary maintenance or use to be limited by any governmental entity without payment of compensation, as defined in the Eminent Domain Law, to the owner or owners of the display and the owner or owners of the land upon which the display is located. This prohibition does not apply to an advertising display relocated by mutual agreement between the display owner and a local entity.

The act defines “relocation” for these purposes to include removal of an advertising display and construction of a new display to substitute for the display removed. Current law states that it is a policy of this state to encourage local entities and display owners to enter into relocation agreements that allow local entities to continue development in a planned manner without expenditure of public funds while allowing continued maintenance of private investment and a medium of public communication. The act does not prohibit the Department of Transportation from entering into a relocation agreement or allowing any lawfully erected display to be relocated, provided the relocation would not cause a reduction in federal aid highway funds or an increase in the number of displays within the state that does not conform to the act. The act authorizes an advertising display to be converted to a message center pursuant to a relocation agreement. This bill would define “relocation,” “relocated display,” and all related variants of the terms as used in the above-described provisions and other provisions of the act, as provided.

Summary: The Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend any meeting of a state body. The act authorizes meetings through teleconference subject to specified requirements, including, among others, that the state body post agendas at all teleconference locations, that each teleconference location be identified in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that the agenda provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the state body directly at each teleconference location, and that at least one member of the state body be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting. This bill would amend existing law that will remain operative after July 1, 2023, to remove indefinitely the teleconference requirements that a state body post agendas at all teleconference locations, that each teleconference location be identified in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, and that each teleconference location be accessible to the public. The bill would require a state body to provide a means by which the public may remotely hear audio of the meeting, remotely observe the meeting, or attend the meeting by providing on the posted agenda a teleconference telephone number, an internet website or other online platform, and a physical address for at least one site, including, if available, access equivalent to the access for a member of the state body participating remotely.

Summary: Current law makes it a misdemeanor to commit the crime of trespass, which includes refusing or failing to leave land, real property, or structures belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another and not open to the general public upon being requested to leave by a peace officer at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession and upon being informed by the peace officer that they are acting at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession. Current law requires the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession to make a separate request to the peace officer on each occasion when the peace officer’s assistance in dealing with a trespass is requested, except that a single request for peace officer assistance may be made for a period not to exceed 12 months when the premises or property is closed to the public and posted as being closed. Existing law requires the requester to inform the law enforcement agency to which the request was made when the assistance is no longer desired before the 12-month period expires. Current law also authorizes a single request for a peace officer’s assistance to be made for a period of time not to exceed 30 days and identified by specific dates when there is a fire hazard or the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession is absent from the property. Under current law, a request for assistance expires when ownership of the property changes or upon a change in the person in lawful possession. This bill would authorize a single request for assistance to be made and submitted electronically, in a notarized writing on a form provided by the law enforcement agency, to a peace officer for a time period determined by local ordinance or 12 months, whichever is shorter, and identified by specific dates, during which there is a fire hazard or the owner, owner’s agent, or person in lawful possession is absent from the premises or property.

Summary: Current law requires the Secretary for Environmental Protection to convene the Lithium-Ion Car Battery Recycling Advisory Group to review, and advise the Legislature on, policies pertaining to the recovery and recycling of lithium-ion vehicle batteries sold with motor vehicles in the state. Current law also requires the advisory group to submit policy recommendations to the Legislature aimed at ensuring that as close to 100% as possible of lithium-ion vehicle batteries in the state are reused or recycled at end-of-life in a safe and cost-effective manner. This bill would repeal those requirements. The bill would instead require vehicle traction batteries, as defined, in the state to be recovered and reused, repurposed, or remanufactured and eventually recycled at the end of their useful life in a motor vehicle or any other application. The bill would

also require a vehicle manufacturer, dealer, automobile dismantler, automotive repair dealer, and nonvehicle secondary user to be responsible for ensuring the responsible end-of-life management of a vehicle traction battery once it is removed from a vehicle or other application to which the vehicle traction battery has been used. The bill would make a vehicle or battery manufacturer responsible for collecting a stranded battery, as defined, and repurposing the battery, if possible, but would require the manufacturer to ensure the battery is recycled if it cannot be reused. The bill would require, by January 1, 2025, a battery supplier, as described, to be responsible for the development of a core exchange program for replacing a battery, module, or cell removed from a vehicle, as specified.
