LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2921, as introduced, Gabriel.
Planning and zoning.
The Planning and Zoning Law makes various legislative findings and declarations, including that the state has a positive interest in the preparation and maintenance of a long-term, general plan for the physical development of each of the state’s urban areas and that the planning activities of counties and cities can be strengthened and more effectively performed when conducted in relation to studies and planning of an urban regional character.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
