AB 2288: Adaptive reuse: industrial zones.

An act to amend sections 65658.1 and 65658.5 of the government code, relating to housing. This bill revises the prohibition on adaptive reuse projects in industrial zones. It specifies that an adaptive reuse project is not permitted on a site where the existing primary use is classified as a high-hazard (group h) occupancy. The definition of an adaptive reuse project is also revised to exclude the retrofitting and repurposing of any building whose primary existing use is a high-hazard (group h) occupancy. The bill expands eligibility for streamlined, ministerial review of adaptive reuse projects, which would expand the duties of local governments. This would impose a state-mandated local program. No reimbursement is required by this act for certain costs.
