July 23, 2026 <br /> <br /> <br />President Gabe Quinto <br />League of California Cities <br />1400 K Street, Suite 400 <br />Sacramento, CA 95814 <br /> <br /> <br />Subject: Support for a Resolution Establishing a Working Group to Evaluate a State Constitutional <br />Amendment or Other Initiative to Restore Local Housing and Land Use Authority <br /> <br /> <br />Dear President Quinto, <br /> <br />The City of Murrieta is sponsoring a resolution for consideration by the General Assembly of the League of <br />California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other <br />legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land <br />use decisions. <br /> <br />The proposed resolution, together with the required background materials, will be submitted to Cal Cities for <br />consideration at the 2026 Annual Conference in Orange County on September 24 and 25. The resolution <br />would direct the League to convene a working group to evaluate potential approaches to address increasingly <br />broad and prescriptive state mandates affecting local housing, zoning, development standards, and project <br />approval authority. <br /> <br />On behalf of the City of Moreno Valley, this letter confirms our support for the City of Murrieta’s submission of <br />the proposed resolution and its consideration by the League of California Cities General Assembly at the 2026 <br />Annual Conference. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Brian Mohan <br />City Manager <br />City of Moreno Valley <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />15 <br />Page 305 of 318
