UCLA Extension’s annual Land Use Law and Planning Conference is the leading source of information on California land use legislation, case law, and the emerging issues that frame land use and development practices in the nation’s most populous state. The program’s unique cross-disciplinary approach explores the full range of perspectives drawn from the land use planning, legal, development, and environmental communities, and demonstrates how these factors influence the day-to-day work of planners, developers, environmental regulators, and attorneys.

Join us on January 27 for a review of the important issues of the past year and a look at what’s ahead for 2017.

Now in its 31st year, the UCLA Extension conference offers a big-picture view of land use law and planning practice, with knowledgeable speakers providing succinct and provocative updates on core state and federal case law and legislation, as well as practice pointers on basic land use law and planning issues. The conference is essential for attorneys, planners, environmentalists, and developers who need to know how land use law and planning is changing and affecting their interests.

8:30am WELCOME & PROGRAM OVERVIEWStephanie Hoekstra, Public Policy Program, UCLA Extension

8:45am UPDATE #1 - CEQA 2016: Few Surprises, But Some Welcome ClarityIt’s one down and five to go at the Supreme Court for CEQA cases. Common sense prevailed with the Supreme Court’s decision in Friends of the College of San Mateo Gardens where finally the face-off between Mani Brothers and Lishman was resolved with the Court focusing on the informational value of the original document instead of the changes to a project. Our panel will discuss whether addendum preparers can indeed now breathe a sigh of relief. The decades-long battle over the Cadiz project’s groundwater pumping in the Mojave Desert was also decided this year as was the challenge to the “Plan Bay Area” sustainable communities strategy. Other cases providing guidance to CEQA practitioners that will be dissected by our panel include:

• How should energy impacts under Appendix F be analyzed after the UkiahCitizens for Safety First decision

• The latest application of the Berkeley Hillside two-step in Walters v. City ofRedondo Beach

• The standard of review for determining a historical resource as interpreted bythe Friends of Willow Glen Trestle court

• And the surprise? Negative declaration cases have made their way back tothe courts including a supplemental mitigated negative declaration for a ruralprinting facility run by monks in Coastal Hills Rural Preservation

PANELISTS: Kevin Bundy, Senior Attorney, Center for Biological Diversity Tina Thomas, Founding Partner, Thomas Law Group

10am MORNING BREAK

10:15am ASSESSMENT #1 – Is Regionalism Inescapable? Did Greenhouse Gases Kill Local Control?Foundational to California’s approach to greenhouse gas reduction has been reform of land use and growth patterns statewide to drive development to infill urban cores over greenfields. This was a pillar of the groundbreaking SB 375 and its requirement of Sustainable Communities Strategies. But as emission reduction mandates increase and an understanding that reduction strategies operate at the regional level, many ask if reduction strategies must come at the expense of a long-sacred California standard: local control over land use decisions. Housing shortages and affordability, transportation infrastructure investment, transit, and even “by-right” development proposals necessarily implicate curtailment of local control in favor of regional objectives. Will greenhouse gas reduction mandates come at the expense of local control? What is the alternative? Will city councilmembers ever vote in the regional interest over the more parochial demands of constituents? Will Sacramento soon control local land use?

3:00pm AFTERNOON BREAK

3:15pm ASSESSMENT #2 – The Recalibrated General Plan: If it Were a Car, Would it Be a Tesla … or an Edsel? When not characterized by proponents as the answer to your every need (and by opponents as a fossil from an era best forgotten), the general plan continues to be a vessel into which communities pour their hopes and State agencies pour their expectations. Those hopes and expectations are increasingly colliding: communities demand control that local agencies can’t assure; developers are seduced by promises of density, then abandoned when the community objects. The State’s expectations, including GHG initiatives, SB 32, the Scoping Plan, SB 743 methodologies for transportation impact assessment, and the draft general plan guidelines, are all driving the general plan in one direction, while expectations of communities to retain control of their destiny push the plan in the opposite direction. Can these opposing forces be reconciled, and is the general plan even the best place to do it? How these thorny issues get resolved—in new plans that are constructed around visions of public health and quality of life, is the topic which this panel will tackle.
