Urgency Ordinance No. 2026-1580 and Ordinance No. 2026-1581 - Implementing Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) for Transit-Oriented Development Standards, Site Exemptions, Phased Implementation Areas, and Zoning Map Amendments.

Ordinance Outcome not yet posted

The City Council is asked to adopt a Notice of Exemption, adopt an urgency ordinance, and introduce a companion ordinance (Text Amendment TA 26-0001) adding Chapter 20.280 to the Municipal Code to implement SB 79 near four SPRINTER stations. The ordinances set objective standards, exempt areas with no walking path under one mile to a stop, and defer SB 79 in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval.

Staff recommendation: Adopt Notice of Exemption (EX26-041); adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 2026-1580 adding Chapter 20.280 (four votes required); and introduce Ordinance No. 2026-1581 (Text Amendment TA 26-0001).
