AB 3046, as introduced, Committee on Higher Education. Zoning: community college district.
Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district, by a vote of 2/3 of its members, to render a city or county zoning ordinance inapplicable to a proposed use of property by the school district except when the proposed use of the property by the school district is for nonclassroom facilities, including, but not limited to, warehouses, administrative buildings, automotive storage, and repair buildings.
This bill, instead, would authorize the governing board of a school district, by a vote of 2/3 of its members, to render a city or county zoning ordinance inapplicable to a proposed use of property by the school district except when the proposed use of the property by the school district is for a facility that does not constitute an educational facility, as specified.
