Zoning: Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley.
- Extends the deadline for flood protection requirements from 2025 to 2030 in specific Sacramento areas.
- Authorizes the state to require Sacramento jurisdictions to pay for flood-related property damage.
- Prohibits new development in flood zones unless specific safety standards are met.
- Applies stricter flood protection rules to the Natomas Basin and Beach Lake areas.
Senator Ashby's land use legislation extends the deadline for achieving urban-level flood protection in specific Sacramento areas from 2025 to 2030, while establishing new fiscal responsibilities for flood-related property damage. The bill modifies requirements for the Natomas subarea, Beach Lake subarea, and portions of the Natomas Basin in unincorporated Sacramento County.
Under the proposed changes, the Department of Water Resources gains authority to require the City or County of Sacramento to contribute their "fair and reasonable share" of property damage caused by floods in their jurisdictions. This requirement applies until local flood management agencies attain urban-level flood protection standards in the designated areas. The bill maintains existing conditions that cities and counties must meet before approving development agreements, permits, or subdivision maps in flood hazard zones.
The legislation's findings cite Sacramento's unique geographic vulnerability to flooding as justification for these area-specific provisions. Current flood protection requirements for other urban and urbanizing areas within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley remain unchanged, including the 2025 deadline for achieving specified safety standards.
