	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1037, Sher.  Subdivisions.
   (1) Under the Subdivision Map Act, with respect to the review of
tentative maps, a local agency may make recommendations concerning
proposed subdivisions in any adjoining city, or in any adjoining
unincorporated territory provided that the proposed subdivisions are
within 3 miles of the exterior boundary of the requesting local
agency.
   This bill would permit those recommendations to be made for any
proposed subdivision within the planning area of the requesting local
agency.
   (2) Under the Subdivision Map Act, the legislative body of a city,
or county may, by ordinance, require the design of a subdivision for
which a tentative map is required to provide for the availability of
individual household telephone service to each residential parcel in
the subdivision.
   This bill would authorize the legislative body to require the
design of such a subdivision to provide for appropriate cable
television systems and communication systems, including, but not
limited to, telephone and Internet services to each parcel in the
subdivision.
