The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 prohibits certain counties and cities from enacting a development policy, standard, or condition that would have any of specified effects, including imposing or enforcing design standards on or after January 1, 2020, that are not objective design standards. The act authorizes certain counties and cities to enact a development policy, standard, or condition to prohibit the commercial use of land that is designated for residential use. The act defines "development policy, standard, or condition" for these purposes.
This bill would provide that "development policy, standard, or condition" does not mean an action by certain counties or cities related to allowing a conservation easement to preserve residentially zoned property if certain conditions are met.
