Agriculture: small- and moderate-scale diversified farms and ranches: assistance program. Flood management: Mossdale Tract.Unless a city or county within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley makes certain findings after the effective date of specified amendments to its general plan, the Planning and Zoning Law prohibits a city or county from entering into a development agreement for property located in a flood hazard zone; approving a discretionary permit, ministerial permit, or other discretionary entitlement for a project that is located within a flood hazard zone, as specified; or approving a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, for a subdivision that is located within a flood hazard zone. Those findings include, among others, that the local flood management agency has made adequate progress on the construction of a flood protection system that will result in flood protection equal to or greater than the urban level of flood protection in urban or urbanizing areas. Existing law further requires urban and urbanizing areas protected by any levee that is part of the facilities of the State Plan of Flood Control to achieve the urban level of flood protection by 2025.This bill would instead require the Mossdale Tract, as defined, to achieve the urban level of flood protection by 2030.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Mossdale Tract.Existing law requires the Department of Food and Agriculture, headed by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, to promote and protect the agricultural industry of the state. Existing law requires the department to seek to maintain the economic well-being of agriculturally dependent rural communities in the state. The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes.This bill would require the university, no later than July 1, 2021, to ensure the continued economic viability of small- and moderate-scale diversified farms and ranches, as defined, by creating a coordinated, statewide program to support the operators of those farms and ranches, prioritizing limited resource farmers and ranchers and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, as defined. The bill would require the university to establish the Farmer Equity and Innovation Center to administer the program. The bill would require the center to include the universitys Small Farm Advisors, and would require the university to increase its Small Farm Advisor positions to 6 in number. The bill would require the program to include applied research on specified subjects, outreach regarding those subjects, and informational services on assistance provided by or through the center or specified nonprofit organizations. The bill would authorize the program to include special training for new and beginning farmers and ranchers, as provided, with priority given to socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. The bill would require the university to conduct a study to determine, and issue a report containing, a demographic breakdown of farmers and ranchers who participate in the program, as specified. The bill would make all of these provisions applicable to the university only if the regents act, by appropriate resolution, to accept the responsibility for creating the program, and would make implementation of these provisions contingent upon an appropriation by the Legislature.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YESNO Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

SEC. 5. The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances of the Mossdale Tract. In particular, recent studies have shown that climate change is expected to be significantly more impactful to the San Joaquin River than to other Central Valley waterways, and climate change, coupled with delays in a federal study of the river basin, creates unique issues in achieving an urban level of flood protection by 2025 for the Mossdale Tract.
