Overview
This bill adjusts zoning regulations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley to address flood risks. It requires cities and counties to demonstrate adequate flood protection measures before approving development in flood hazard zones, particularly within the City of Marysville, Sacramento County, Sutter County, and Yuba County. Specifically, it extends the deadline for achieving ‘urban level of flood protection’ for certain areas to 2030, and allows the Department of Water Resources to seek contributions from affected cities and counties for flood damage, contingent on meeting flood protection standards. The bill also includes legislative findings regarding the necessity of this special statute for specific counties and cities.
