LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 190, as amended, Steinorth.
Local government: development permits: design review.
The Permit Streamlining Act within the Planning and Zoning Law requires the lead agency that has the principal responsibility for approving a development project, as defined, to approve or disapprove the project within a specified number of days from the date of certification of an environmental impact report, the date of the adoption of a negative declaration, or the determination by the lead agency that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
This bill would require a lead agency, where an ordinance requiring design review applies to a development project, to approve or disapprove the design of the development project within 30 days of the date that application being
has been determined to be complete, as specified. or the date of the certification of the environmental impact report, the date of the adoption of a negative declaration, or the date of a determination that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, whichever occurs later. The bill would provide, that if the lead agency has not approved or disapproved the design of the development project within that 30-day period, the design of the project is deemed to be approved on the 31st day.
