Environmental Housing Bill Signed into Law
A new state law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on Saturday requires the proposed eight-story development behind the Santa Barbara Mission to undergo environmental review.
The law is a result of Senate Bill 158, a trailer bill that acts as a "cleanup" to legislation passed earlier this year, according to Senator Scott Weiner and Representative Jesse Gabriel.
This development comes after the passage of Assembly Bill 130 in June, which made significant changes to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed eight-story building behind the Santa Barbara Mission will undergo environmental review under the new law.
