Development Stuff

Here in Oceanside CA there are lots of development projects in the pipeline. I’m trying to understand what constraints are put upon developers, and how there might be opportunities to connect to influence development projects to fit with the neighborhood in terms of scale and scope and support the residents as well as any visitors.

 

State of California

    • Suspend certain restrictions on the development of new housing during the period of the statewide emergency (in effect until January 1, 2025).

Proposition 1

Constitutional Right to Reproductive Freedom

legislative constitutional amendment

Official Summary

Existing California laws provide that every individual has a fundamental right to privacy in their personal reproductive decisions, which includes the fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and the fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives.

This measure would amend the California Constitution to expressly include these fundamental rights and prohibit the State from denying or interfering with an individual's reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions.

This amendment is intended to further the existing California constitutional rights to privacy and equal protection, and does not narrow or limit these rights.

Fiscal Impact: No direct fiscal effect because reproductive rights already are protected by state law.

Notes

Proposition 26

Allows In-Person Roulette, Dice Games, Sports Wagering on Tribal Lands

initiative constitutional amendment and statute

Official Summary

Allows federally recognized Indian tribes to operate roulette, dice games, and sports wagering on-site on tribal lands, if authorized by gaming compacts approved by the State.

Allows sports wagering at certain licensed horseracing tracks in four counties for persons 21 years and older, and imposes 10% tax on sports-wagering profits at these tracks; directs revenues to state General Fund (70%), problem-gambling programs (15%), and enforcement (15%).

Prohibits marketing of sports wagering to persons under 21.

Allows private lawsuits to enforce certain gambling laws.

Fiscal Impact: Increased state revenues, possibly reaching the tens of millions of dollars annually, from racetrack and tribal casino sports betting payments and gambling penalties. Some of these revenues would be a shift from existing state revenues.

Increased state costs to regulate in-person sports betting, possibly reaching the low tens of millions of dollars annually. Some or all of these costs would be offset by the increase in state revenues.

Increased state costs to enforce gambling laws, not likely to exceed the low millions of dollars annually. Some of these costs could be offset by the increase in state revenues.

Proposition 27

Allows Online and Mobile Sports Wagering Outside Tribal Lands

initiative constitutional amendment and statute

Official Summary

Such wagering may be offered only by federally recognized Indian tribes and eligible businesses that contract with them.

Individuals placing bets must be in California and not located on tribal lands.

Requires licensing fees and imposes 10% tax on sports-wagering revenues.

Directs tax and licensing revenues first to regulatory costs, then remainder to homelessness programs (85%) and nonparticipating tribes (15%).

Specifies licensing, regulatory, consumer-protection, and betting-integrity standards for sports wagering.

Fiscal Impact: Increased state revenues, possibly in the hundreds of millions of dollars but likely not more than $500 million annually, from sports betting payments and penalties. Some of these revenues would be a shift from existing state revenues.

Increased state costs to regulate online sports betting, possibly reaching the mid-tens of millions of dollars annually. Some or all of these costs would be offset by the increased revenues.

Notes

initiative statute

Official Summary

Provides additional funding for arts and music education in all K–12 public schools (including charter schools) by annually allocating from state General Fund an amount equal to 1% of required state and local funding for public schools.

Allocates greater proportion of the additional funds to schools serving more economically disadvantaged students.

Schools with 500 or more students must spend at least 80% of the funding to employ teachers and remainder on training, supplies, and education partnerships.

Requires audits and limits administrative costs to 1% of the funding.

Fiscal Impact: Increased state costs of about $1 billion annually, beginning next year, for arts education in public schools.

Requires clinics to disclose to patients all physicians with clinic ownership interests of five percent or more.

Requires clinics to report dialysis-related infection data to state.

Prohibits clinics from closing or substantially reducing services without state approval.

Prohibits clinics from refusing to treat patients based on source of payment.

Fiscal Impact: Increased state and local government costs likely in the tens of millions of dollars annually.
