Summary

Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district, by a vote of 23 of its members, to render a city or county zoning ordinance inapplicable to a proposed use of property by the school district, if specified conditions are met. Existing law prohibits the governing board of a school district from exercising this authorization if the proposed use of the property by the school district is for nonclassroom facilities. This bill would authorize the governing board of a school district to render a city or county zoning ordinance inapplicable if the proposed use of property by the school district is to offer school district employee housing under specified conditions. Existing law authorizes a city or county to commence an action seeking a review of the action of the governing board of the school district to determine whether it was arbitrary and capricious, as specified. The bill would exempt the rendering of a city or county zoning ordinance as inapplicable, in order to offer school district employee housing, from review under this authority. The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
