*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 2208 would allow cities and counties to consider
specified space above sites owned or leased by those
jurisdictions as land that is suitable for residential
development for purposes of housing element requirements. The
bill would also require the Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) to provide guidance to cities and counties to
properly survey, detail, and account for sites for purposes of
specifying land suitable for residential development
Fiscal
Impact:
AB 2208 (Santiago) Page 1 of
?
Minor and absorbable HCD costs to provide specified guidance.
(General Fund)
Unknown local costs by requiring cities and counties to
consider new types of sites that could be identified for
residential development. These costs are not
state-reimbursable because local agencies have the authority
to levy fees and charges to offset costs associated with local
planning requirements.
Author
Amendments: Strike a provision that would have required, rather
than authorized, HCD to adopt and revise guidelines for the
preparation of housing elements.
