Land use: development project review.
- Reduces the review period for development projects from 90 to 45 days for responsible public agencies.
- Applies new timeline requirements to all California cities, including charter cities.
- Requires no state reimbursement to local agencies for implementing these changes.
- Maintains existing 180-day review period for standard development projects.
Assembly Member Blanca Rubio's proposal to modify California's Permit Streamlining Act would reduce the timeframe for responsible agencies to review certain development projects from 90 to 45 days after lead agency approval or application completion.
The measure establishes two distinct review periods for development projects. Standard projects would allow responsible agencies up to 180 days to render decisions. However, for specific project categories outlined in existing law, agencies would face a compressed 45-day timeline to approve or disapprove applications. The California Coastal Commission remains exempt from these expedited review requirements.
The bill designates these changes as addressing matters of statewide concern, making them applicable to all California municipalities, including charter cities. While the measure creates new mandates for local agencies, it specifies that local governments may utilize existing fee authority to cover any associated costs rather than receiving state reimbursement. Applications are automatically withdrawn if a lead agency issues a final project disapproval.
