This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan, and requires the general plan to include specified, mandatory elements, including a housing element. That law authorizes the County of Napa, during a specified period ending June 30, 2007, to meet up to 15% of its existing share of the regional housing need for lower income households by committing funds for the purpose of constructing affordable housing units, and constructing those units in one or more cities within the county, only after specified conditions are met. Among those conditions is a requirement that the receiving city demonstrate that it has met, within a specified period, at least 20% of its share of the regional need for housing for very low income households allocated to the city, as specified. This bill would extend the period of this authorization to October 31, 2022, and would delete the requirement that the receiving city demonstrate that it has met at least 20% of its share of the regional need for housing for very low income households allocated to the city.
