<ns0:Title> An act to add Chapter 5.9 (commencing with Section 51028) to Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code, relating to local government.</ns0:Title>

<ns0:Subject>Local pop-up business program.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law establishes various programs to promote small businesses operating in nonstandard locations, including cottage food operations and sidewalk vendors, and imposes requirements on and provides authorizations to local governments relating to these programs. Existing law authorizes the legislative body of an incorporated city or the board of supervisors of a county, as applicable, to license any kind of business not prohibited by law, transacted and carried on within the limits of the jurisdiction of the city or county, and to fix the rate of the license fee and provide for its collection, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require a city, including a
charter city, county, or city and county, defined as a local jurisdiction, to establish a local pop-up business program to allow, notwithstanding any other law, temporary use of commercial space without requiring full compliance with standards applicable to permanent occupancy, as specified. The bill would require the temporary authorization granted by a local jurisdiction under a local pop-up business program to be conditioned on compliance with minimum public health, fire, building, and life-safety standards necessary to prevent immediate risk to occupants and the public. The bill would further require a local jurisdiction to provide written accessibility compliance guidance materials to an applicant. The bill would authorize a local jurisdiction to establish fees not exceeding the reasonable costs of program administration and create enforcement mechanisms and penalties for noncompliance. By requiring a city, including a charter city, county, or city and county to establish and administer a local pop-up
business program, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>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.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>

<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Small businesses are essential to California’s economic vitality, job creation, and neighborhood character.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Many small businesses face lengthy, costly, and unpredictable approval timelines to open permanent storefronts, requiring substantial upfront investment before market viability can be tested.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Extended commercial vacancies reduce foot traffic, public safety, local tax revenue, and community vitality.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(d)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Short-term commercial activation has proven effective in reducing vacancy, supporting
entrepreneurship, and reactivating underutilized commercial space.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(e)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Existing building, planning, and public health standards are primarily designed for permanent use and may be disproportionate when applied to limited duration commercial activity.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(f)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Establishing a temporary, low-risk pathway for commercial activation allows small businesses to test locations and concepts while preserving public health and safety.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(g)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Inconsistent local treatment of temporary commercial activation contributes to prolonged vacancy and uneven economic recovery statewide.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(h)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Temporary commercial activation may support recovery efforts following natural disasters and other declared emergencies by allowing businesses to reestablish operations in affected
communities.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(i)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Activation of vacant storefronts supports the revitalization of downtowns and neighborhood commercial corridors and promotes pedestrian activity, public safety, and economic resilience.

(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Inconsistent local treatment of temporary commercial activation authorization contributes to prolonged commercial vacancy, uneven economic recovery, and barriers to entrepreneurship throughout the state.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Commercial vacancy reduction and small business activation materially affect statewide
economic recovery, employment, sales tax generation, and community stability.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(3)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Statewide temporary commercial activation authorization supports recovery efforts following natural disasters, including wildfires and other declared emergencies, by providing flexible pathways for businesses to reestablish operations in affected communities.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(4)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Revitalization of downtowns and neighborhood commercial corridors has been identified as a statewide priority, and activation of vacant storefronts promotes pedestrian activity, public safety, and economic resilience.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(5)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Promoting a consistent regulatory framework that demonstrates California’s commitment to small business development and commercial corridor revitalization is a matter of statewide concern and is not a purely municipal affair.
