Hi Gregg:
I have attached the below for a couple of reasons. At one of our meetings, someone stated that SB 375/AB32
had transportation funding attached to it. as you can see that was removed from the bill.
So regarding Sustainable Development, I would like to remove from LU X the last five words from sentence
(and impacts on climate change.) ..... so a period after emissions. Under LU X.X, Promote ^ d WhPFP
new development and reconstruction to comply...... etc. And last — remove LU X.X2 in its
entirety.
Also the Institute for Local Government publication "Understanding 56375" states "Senate Bill 375 creates a
formal process that builds on the experience of voluntary regional visioning initiatives in California, often
referred to as "Regional Blueprints ". The law coordinates three important planning activities into a new
integrated planning process: The regional transportation plan (RTP) .... this would be a SCAG issue since OTA is
a part of that; The regional housing needs assessment (RHNA) ... note "regional ", and Updating the housing
element of local general plans..... City.
Anyway these are my thoughts. Please distribute.
Thank you Tricia

Good Afternoon Tricia,
It was great speaking with you this afternoon. Per our conversation, I have included the information and documents related to SB
375 that I referenced.
C.A.R. Legislative Program Summary from the 2007 -2008 Legislative Session
SB 375 (Steinberg) Urban Infill Projects - As introduced, C.A.R. supported SB 375 which would have broadened the applicability of
the existing CEQA exemption for urban infill developments and could have generated desperately needed housing. As amended,
C.A.R. opposed SB 375 which would have provided $20 million from Proposition 1C, passed by the voters in 2006, for "smart growth"
planning and incentives. While C.A.R. achieved amendments that removed the non - substantive term "smart growth" to describe the
goals of the proposition, C.A.R. continued to oppose SB 375 because it would have impeded future suburban residential, commercial
and retail development by creating restrictive urban growth limitations through transportation funding restrictions. The bill would
have resulted in local governments losing control over land use planning decisions and placed the need for green house gas
reductions above the need for housing. Due to coalition opposition, which included C.A.R., SB 375 was amended to continue local
government control over development by removing the restrictive urban growth limitations and transportation funding restrictions
from the provisions of the bill. With these amendments, C.A.R. removed its opposition. (see also, SB 303)
Position: Watch as Amended
Status: Signed by the Governor on September 30, 2008 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008)
Additionally, here is the link to the final committee analysis for SB 375 prior to the bills enactment:

Tricia: HAPPY NEW YEARM
Got your voice mail. I will call you this afternoon. While I am not the expert, Jennifer Svec a lobbyist on
our staff is much closer to the issue than I have been. The developers were really the first string when
this went through.
We were originally supportive of SB 375, went to an oppose when the bill was amended to include
unban growth boundaries and removed our opposition went they were removed.
Best,
Alex
