Official summary
Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.
Existing law requires every city and county, by December 31, 1973, to prepare and adopt an open-space zoning ordinance consistent with the local open-space plan adopted pursuant to specified law. Existing law makes legislative findings that the provisions relating to open-space zoning are not intended, and shall not be construed, as authorizing the city or the county to exercise its power to adopt, amend or repeal an open-space zoning ordinance in a manner that will take or damage private property for public use without the payment of just compensation therefor.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision.
