The Assembly Local Government Committee advanced SB 1036 on June 3, moving Sen. Steve Grayson’s bill one step forward on a housing and development-cost issue.
The measure would require local jurisdictions to credit previous site uses when redevelopment or adaptive-reuse projects are charged mitigation fees, according to the committee summary for the hearing. Supporters told lawmakers the bill would help prevent duplicate fees on projects that reuse existing sites and could reduce redevelopment costs.
The hearing record shows support from a range of housing and real estate interests, including Spur, the California Association of Realtors, AARP, the California Building Industry Association, and Lighthouse Public Affairs, which represented several housing-related organizations.
The committee approved SB 1036 by a 6-0 vote and later recorded the item as 10-0, according to the meeting summary. The available materials do not include amendment language or a full transcript of the testimony, so this account is limited to the hearing record and processed meeting summary.
