INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. <br />Provides that city and county land -use and zoning laws (including local housing laws) override <br />all conflicting state laws, except in certain circumstances related to three areas of statewide <br />concern: (1) the California Coastal Act of 1976; (2) siting of power plants; or (3) development of <br />water, communication, or transportation infrastructure projects. Prevents state legislature and <br />local legislative bodies from passing laws invalidating voter -approved local land -use or zoning <br />initiatives. Prohibits state from changing, granting, or denying funding to local governments <br />based on their implementation of this measure. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and <br />Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Fiscal effects of the <br />measure depend on future decisions by the cities and counties and therefore are unknown. <br />(21-0016A1.) <br />
