[ Approved by Governor July 30, 2019. Filed with Secretary of State July 30, 2019. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 242, Roth. Land use applications: Department of Defense: points of contact.(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. Existing law requires a planning agency to refer any proposed action to adopt or substantially change a general plan to specified entities, including a branch of the United States Armed Forces if certain conditions are met, including the branch providing a California mailing address and the Department of Defense providing electronic maps of low-level flight paths to the Office of Planning and Research.This bill would delete the provision related to the Department of Defense described above, and instead require a branch of the United States Armed Forces to provide the office with a point of contact before a planning agency is required to refer a proposed action to adopt or substantially amend a general plan.(2) Existing law requires each public agency to provide a development project applicant with a list of information that provides, among other things, whether the proposed project is located within 1,000 feet of a military installation, beneath a low-level flight path, or within special use airspace. Existing law requires a public agency to deliver a copy of each completed project application located within 1,000 feet of a military installation or within special use airspace or beneath a low-level flight path to each branch of the United States Armed Forces that has provided the Office of Planning and Research with a California mailing address within the state for delivery. Existing law provides that these requirements are not operative until the Department of Defense provides electronic maps of low-level flight paths, special use airspace, and military installations, at a scale and in an electronic format that is acceptable to the Office of Planning and Research.This bill would instead require notice to each branch of the United States Armed Forces that has provided the Office of Planning and Research with a point of contact, of a project application located within 1,000 feet of a military installation or within special use airspace or beneath a low-level flight path. The bill would eliminate the requirement that the Department of Defense provide electronic maps of low-level flight paths, special use airspace, and military installations to the Office of Planning and Research in order for these provisions to become operative. This bill would require the office to provide notice to public agencies and maintain on its internet website maps of low-level flight paths, special use airspace, and military installations, the military points of contact designated by each branch of the United States Armed Forces, and the information required in the notice of a completed application, as specified.(3) Existing law defines special use airspace as the land area underlying the airspace that is designated for training, research, development, or evaluation for a military service, as established in a specified publication of the United States National Imagery and Mapping Agency.This bill would instead define special use airspace as the area underlying the airspace that is designated for training, research, development, or evaluation for a military service, as established in a specified publication of the United States National Imagery and Mapping Agency.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

This bill would require the office to provide notice to public agencies and maintain on its internet website maps of low-level flight paths, special use airspace, and military installations, the military points of contact designated by each branch of the United States Armed Forces, and the information required in the notice of a completed application, as specified.(3) Existing law defines special use airspace as the land area underlying the airspace that is designated for training, research, development, or evaluation for a military service, as established in a specified publication of the United States National Imagery and Mapping Agency.This bill would instead define special use airspace as the area underlying the airspace that is designated for training, research, development, or evaluation for a military service, as established in a specified publication of the United States National Imagery and Mapping Agency. |

The bill would eliminate the requirement that the Department of Defense provide electronic maps of low-level flight paths, special use airspace, and military installations to the Office of Planning and Research in order for these provisions to become operative. |
