INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Evans

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2005

   An act relating to local planning.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1367, as introduced, Evans.   General plans: regional housing
needs.
   The Planning and Zoning Law requires each city, county, or city
and county to prepare and adopt a general plan for its jurisdiction
that contains certain mandatory elements, including a housing
element. One part of the housing element is an assessment of housing
needs and an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to
meeting those needs. The assessment includes the locality's share of
regional housing needs. That share is determined by the appropriate
council of governments or by the Department of Housing and Community
Development, subject to revision by the department.
   This bill would declare the Legislature's intent to enact
legislation that would direct state and regional agencies to take
into account locally passed land use initiatives when calculating the
fair share of regional housing for cities and counties.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would direct state and regional agencies to take
into account locally passed land use initiatives when calculating the
fair share of regional housing for cities and counties.
