Proposed Legislation in Sacramento May Impact Single Family Housing in Torrance


CITY OF TORRANCE ENCOURAGES THE COMMUNITY TO
JOIN IN THEIR OPPOSITION TO ZONING AND HOUSING BILLS
In an effort to maintain local control, the City of Torrance has actively engaged in advocacy to oppose various Housing and Zoning Bills. The community is encouraged to join in this effort. Opposing these bills would allow the City to preserve the current character of the community.  In order to maintain local control, the City encourages State Representatives to limit legislative over reaching decisions which are not based on trends and needs specific to local communities. 
 
The Torrance City Council has sent several letters and made numerous calls to express their opposition to State Representatives from our local community.   The City is encouraging the community to join in their efforts and contact State Representatives to voice their concerns. Resident action has a strong impact on decisions made by our government officials. Help us keep local zoning decisions in Torrance.
 
The City of Torrance opposes the following bills that directly impact local control.
  • AB 725 (Wicks) - General plans: housing element: moderate-income and above moderate-income housing: suburban and metropolitan jurisdictions.
  • AB 1851 (Wicks) - Religious institution affiliated housing development projects: parking requirements.

  • SB 1085 (Skinner) - Density Bonus Law: qualifications for incentives or concessions: student housing for lower income students: moderate-income persons and families: local government constraints
  • SB 1138 (Weiner) - Housing element: emergency shelters: rezoning of sites
  • SB 1120 (Atkins) - Subdivisions: tentative maps
  • SB 1385 (Caballero) - Local planning: housing: commercial zones.
  • AB 2345 (Gonzalez) - Planning and zoning: density bonuses: annual report: affordable housing.
