(a) For purposes of this section:(1) Development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use means any of the following:(A) The development of any qualifying logistics use.(B) The expansion of any existing qualifying logistics use.(C) The expansion of any existing logistics use, where the logistics use after the expansion would be a qualifying logistics use.(2) Local agency means any of the following:(A) The County of Riverside.(B) The County of San Bernardino.(C) Any city located within the County of Riverside or the County of San Bernardino.(3) Qualifying logistics use means any logistics use with 400,000 or more square feet of building space, including, but not limited to, warehouses.(4) Sensitive receptors means one or more of the following:(A) A legally permitted residence, including, but not limited to, a private home, apartment, condominium unit, group home, dormitory unit, retirement home, or shelter.(B) A school, including, but not limited to, preschool, prekindergarten, or school maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive.(C) A licensed daycare facility.(D) A health care facility, including, but not limited to, any hospital, medical clinic, community clinic, medical center, nursing home, long-term care facility, hospices, convalescent facility, or similar live-in housing.(E) A community center.(F) An established community place of worship.(G) A public playground, public recreation field, or public recreation center.(b) A local agency shall not approve the development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use that is adjacent to a sensitive receptor unless the local agency does either of the following:(1) Imposes a minimum setback on the qualifying logistics use of 300 feet from the buildings loading docks measured from the property line of any sensitive receptor to the nearest dock door using a direct straight-line method.(2) Follows an industrial guideline framework, good neighbor policy, or sustainability ordinance adopted by the local agency, which, in its discretion, adequately balances siting qualifying logistics uses next to sensitive receptors.SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act adding Chapter 2.8 (commencing with Section 65098) to Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code addresses a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Section 1 of this act applies to all cities within the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino, including charter cities.SEC. 3. 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 significant need to protect homes, schools, daycare facilities, and other sensitive receptors in the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino, and in the cities located within those counties, from the potential harm created by large warehouses and other logistics uses.SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code.SECTION 1.Section 1 of the Government Code is amended to read:1.This act shall be known and may be cited as the Government Code.
