Planning and Zoning law: open-space zoning.

Introduced Feb 19, 2026Steve Bennett (D-CA)

Summary

Existing law requires every city and county, by December 31, 1973, to prepare and adopt an open-space zoning ordinance consistent with the local open-space plan adopted pursuant to specified law. Existing law makes legislative findings that the provisions relating to open-space zoning are not intended, and shall not be construed, as authorizing the city or the county to exercise its power to adopt, amend or repeal an open-space zoning ordinance in a manner that will take or damage private property for public use without the payment of just compensation therefor. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision.
