A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING SENATE BILL 50 —
PLANNING AND ZONING: HOUSING DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
WHEREAS, under California's Constitution, charter cities are granted exclusive
authority over municipal affairs, which include zoning and housing regulations; and
WHEREAS, on December 3, 2018, State Senator Weiner introduced Senate
Bill 50 ("SB 50") - Planning and Zoning: Housing Development Incentives; and
WHEREAS, SB 50 exempts a development in a transit-rich housing zone
from local ordinances that limit maximum residential density, maximum floor area
ratio, and minimum parking spaces; and
WHEREAS, SB 50 would allow for by-right development without approval of
the City of Arcadia, undermining local control of the City's development
authority as it pertains to height limitations, density, parking requirements,
and design review standards; and
WHEREAS, SB 50 would undermine the City's adopted General Plan and
Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the California Legislature is pre-empting the City's home rule by
including provisions in laws that compel the City to do the bidding of the state
under the guise that the matter is of statewide concern.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. For the forgoing reasons, the City of Arcadia opposes SB 50
and urges its legislative delegation in Sacramento to vote NO.
