BILL NUMBER:  AB 504
  VETOED	DATE: 10/08/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 504 without my signature.

This bill authorizes a city to contract with a nonprofit public
benefit corporation to perform ministerial planning functions and
requires the city to retain all other planning functions.

This legislation imposes statewide rules on local land use planning
that are intended to address a dispute in one jurisdiction. These are
issues that should be determined at the local level.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
