The Santa Clarita City Council considered issues of the environment, housing and justice when it took positions on several pieces of state and federal legislation Tuesday night.
Council members cast their votes on the legislation as part of their agenda’s consent calendar, which features a variety of business items.
Of the four state Senate bills opposed by the council, two – SB 12 and SB 778 – seek to eat into local control of land use.
SB 12 proposes to use the very high fire hazard severity zone designation to restrict development in those areas.
A local government, like the city of Santa Clarita, wouldn’t be allowed to approve new residential construction or occupancy-increasing construction in very high fire hazard severity zones unless the city could show compliance with “wildfire risk reduction standards” established by the proposed law.
Santa Clarita City Council members continued their deliberations on the future of council elections Tuesday during a closed session special meeting.
The City Council has not publicly met about the possibility of transitioning to district-based elections due to litigation alleging that the city’s current “at-large” elections dilute the votes of Santa Clarita’s Latino community, comprising one-third of city residents.
Tuesday marked the fourth time since late May that the lawsuit appeared on the City Council’s special closed session meeting agenda. Each time, City Attorney Joseph Montes did not have a report on the item during the public session.
