Author: Eloise Gomez Reyes

Summary
AB 1000, as amended, Reyes. Qualifying logistics use projects. (1) Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, sets forth various requirements relating to the review of development project permit applications and the issuance of development permits for specified classes of development projects.This bill would prohibit the County of Riverside, the County of San Bernardino, any city located within those counties, and the agencies, boards, or commissions, charter cities, joint powers authorities, regional agencies, public districts, and redevelopment agencies, and any other political subdivisions located within those counties, from approving the development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use, as defined, within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors, as defined, except as provided. The bill would authorize a public agency, as defined, to approve the development or expansion of a qualifying logistics use greater than 500 feet from a sensitive receptor and within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor only if the qualifying logistics use complies with certain requirements, including that all heavy-duty vehicles domiciled onsite meet certain requirements. The bill would require these minimum setback measurements to be made from the property line of the sensitive receptor to the property line of the qualifying logistics use by using a straight-line method.By modifying the duties of local agencies with regard to qualifying logistics use projects, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The bill would authorize an individual affected by a violation of these provisions or the Attorney General to bring an action to enjoin a violation of the provisions of this bill. The bill would provide that these provisions do not relieve a public agency from complying with the California Environmental Quality Act.(2) The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.(3) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino, the cities located within those counties, and the agencies, boards, or commissions, charter cities, joint powers authorities, regional agencies, public districts, and redevelopment agencies, and any other political subdivisions located within those counties.(4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Status
From committee: Filed with the Chief Clerk pursuant to Joint Rule 56.
