<html:p>Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and specified land outside its boundaries, that contains certain mandatory elements, including a housing element. Existing law requires that the housing element consist of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires that a housing development project within a specified distance of a transit-oriented development stop be an allowed use as a transit-oriented housing development on any site zoned for residential, mixed, or commercial development, if the
development complies with applicable requirements, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to support transit-oriented housing development, high road labor standards, and downtown revitalization in major transit cities, as defined, establish land use standards appropriate to transit-oriented development in regional centers, streamline ministerial approval for developments that meet high road labor standards in regional centers, and establish a revolving loan fund to finance construction of qualifying developments in regional centers.</html:p>
