Moratorium

Description
20250422 LA County Santa Monica City Council Order of Business 16 D. Request of Councilmember Zernitskaya and Councilmember Zwick that the City Council take a “Support if Amended” position on AB 306 (Shultz) which would impose a six-year moratorium, from June 1, 2025, to June 1, 2031, on the adoption or modification of state and local building standards affecting residential units, with limited exceptions. As noted in the letter from the City of West Hollywood (attached), the City of Santa Monica would request that the bill be amended such that only new residential units would be impacted by the bill. Additionally, the City would request an amendment to clarify that cities and counties may relax local building code standards such that they revert to the state standard, and that state and local governments can adopt the state 2025 code and allow work to begin on the 2031 state building codes before June 1, 2031 in order to proceed with the normal code adoption process for the 2031 code. The City Council directs the City Manager to prepare and send a letter expressing the City’s Support if Amended position that articulates Council’s amendment request and sends the letter to the bill author, Senator Allen and Assemblymember Zbur.
