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. New Item Received. 4/17/2025
