(f) Create civic districts around civic centers, public parks, public buildings, or public grounds, and establish regulations for those civic districts.

SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Inclusionary housing ordinances have provided quality affordable housing to over 80,000 Californians, including the production of an estimated 30,000 units of affordable housing in the last decade alone. (b) Since the 1970s, over 170 jurisdictions have enacted inclusionary housing ordinances to meet their affordable housing needs. (c) While many of these local programs have been in place for decades, the recent decision in Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 1396, has creased uncertainty and confusion for local governments regarding the future viability of this important local land use tool. (d) It is the intent of the Legislature to reaffirm the authority of local jurisdictions to enact and enforce these ordinances. (e) The Legislature declares its intent in adding subdivision (g) to Section 65850 of the Govemment Code, pursuant to Section 1 of this act, to supersede any holding or dicta in Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 1396, to the extent that the opinion in that case conflicts with that subdivision. This act shall not otherwise be construed to enlarge or diminish the authority of a jurisdiction beyond those powers that existed as of July 21, 2009. leg info.legislature.ca.god faces/billNatelient. tni?bill_id=201320140AB1229 2/2
