Senator Cabaldon, the bill's author, said the measure responds to capacity constraints at public universities that stem from difficulties getting projects through the CEQA process. \"We could add another 10 or 20% to our student body here at Berkeley. We just can't get any projects through the pipeline because we're constrained by some provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,\" he said, arguing the bill would speed campus housing and classroom projects by analyzing enrollment growth at the regional rather than campus-by-campus scale.

Cabaldon said the bill would require universities to participate in regional sustainable community strategies, regional transportation planning and the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) process \"as a full partner along with all of the cities and the counties.\" He said California's higher-education master plan and Education Code guarantee slots for California students and that CEQA's campus-by-campus treatment does not reflect regional enrollment patterns.

Steven Stanza of Brownstein, speaking on behalf of the Chamber of Progress, stated support on the record. No lead opponents were listed.

Senator Ochoa Bog moved the motion to pass SB 486 as amended to the Environmental Quality Committee; the subcommittee recorded a unanimous roll-call vote of 11 ayes and 0 noes. The bill was advanced as amended to Environmental Quality.

Supporters argued the change would accelerate production of student housing, classrooms and student services while improving regional capacity to meet climate, transportation and housing goals. The bill text, as described by the author, ties campus enrollment analysis to the regional scale and conditions campus approvals on active participation in regional planning processes.

SB 486 will proceed to the Senate Environmental Quality Committee.","The subcommittee voted unanimously to advance SB 486, which would require enrollment growth at public university campuses to be analyzed at the regional scale under the California Environmental Quality Act and tie campuses into regional planning processes including RHNA.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617134,"Subcommittee clears bill to make emergency shelters and on-site services by-right",810,71000,881000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2843493-c31a640fcbe4cb66dab21c1b8765990a&start=71&end=881","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2843493-c31a640fcbe4cb66dab21c1b8765990a/thumbnail_71000.jpg","/articles/6617134/California/Subcommittee-clears-bill-to-make-emergency-shelters-and-on-site-services-by-right","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617134-e64d383dfc89628013036a48c4bd81ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178203&Signature=Xw-46QXfn8QC19ytOFoEgp7sMww4VnK-1S4BBA4a0C449tUw9VvALMp3hMjcgt0GBpWv8ygS1AI0yr3ZTCBKJYecsRhC4XTMJ8NHdwqN2Lonr9OcebKkhTNrDcdrJG6DrD2D6dj6LW7DnGLPtc0slyOiTieiUeSc2Jj2fzXjVxRpwxnsqfzU2maDTBKRvVZB-fuj-CNYtcZdHacVIckJKcWe7vhdHSKkw3Rm233d~8BYRUGdObyVtqj4NgXRdEjHk714W9WDeTar3K9vkxIegOrPf1~D2coxFwUM8HsiEacpA78lAaUACR58o06C8a2Zqdv74u3VD6AW9EAGwSTR8g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A California State Senate subcommittee voted unanimously to pass Senate Bill 340 to the Appropriations Committee, clarifying that the \"by-right\" approval of emergency shelters extends to the wraparound services and any expansion of services offered on-site.

Senator Laird, author of SB 340, told the subcommittee the bill \"clarifies that by right approval of emergency shelters extends to all wrap around services offered by the shelter as as well as any expansion of services.\" He said the measure is intended to close a loophole in which shelters could be approved but related services — such as housing navigation and case management — then required separate conditional-use permits.

Anya Lawler of the Public Interest Law Project, a sponsor of the bill, said she was \"here in support, happy to answer any questions.\" Mark Neuberger of the California State Association of Counties and Divya Shiv of Housing California each stated they were in support during the record of me-too witnesses.

Senator Aragin moved the motion to pass SB 340 to appropriations. The roll-call vote recorded 11 ayes, 0 noes; the measure was passed out of the subcommittee by a unanimous vote.

The bill text, as described by the author, lists services that would be covered by the by-right approval, including housing navigation, case management, outreach, and access to basic needs such as meals, showers, laundry, mail services and health care. The sponsor said the change would prevent separate conditional-use processes from delaying those services.

No lead opposition witnesses appeared on the record. Committee members did not offer substantive amendments during the hearing, and the bill moved forward to appropriations.

Votes at the subcommittee were conducted by roll call; the final tally for SB 340 was 11-0. The subcommittee adjourned after completing its agenda.","A California State Senate subcommittee voted unanimously to pass SB 340 to appropriations, clarifying that by-right approval for emergency shelters includes wraparound services and expansions that had previously triggered conditional-use permits.","actionData","errors"]
