CSAC, in coalition with CalCities, is advocating for amendments
to
AB 735 and
SB 415, which seek to modify last year’s
AB 98. AB 98 imposed significant requirements on County
Planning and Community Services Departments, particularly for new
or expanded logistics and warehouse developments within 900 feet
of sensitive receptors on existing or rezoned industrial sites.
The law mandates that all local governments update their
circulation elements—some as soon as January 1, 2026—to include
logistics-related details such as truck routes, signage, parking,
and idling regulations. It also grants the Attorney General
authority to fine local jurisdictions $50,000 every six months
for noncompliance.
CSAC urges counties to submit letters of concern outlining the
proposed amendments to the bill authors and the Assembly and
Senate Local Government Committees by Wednesday, April
16, at 5 PM.
