Bill overview
This bill updates California’s zoning regulations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley to address flood risks. It requires cities and counties to amend their general plans and zoning ordinances to align with a Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. Specifically, it establishes stricter requirements for development within flood hazard zones, demanding evidence of adequate flood protection measures, particularly for areas protected by levees. The bill also extends the timeline for achieving ‘urban level of flood protection’ in certain areas, including Marysville, Sacramento, Sutter, and Yuba Counties, to 2030, and allows the Department of Water Resources to seek contributions from affected cities and counties to cover flood damage costs until flood protection standards are met.
