LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3156, as introduced, Robert Rivas.
Coastal resources: coastal development permits: affordable housing.
The California Coastal Act of 1976 requires any person undertaking development in the coastal zone to obtain a coastal development permit issued by the California Coastal Commission for a project, as defined, in accordance with prescribed procedures.
This bill would require the commission, on or before July 1, 2021, to adopt regulations to expedite the process of reviewing and acting upon applications for coastal development permits for projects that either include affordable housing units or in which 100% of the units will be affordable to households making 80% or below the median income.
