CONSIDER recommending to the Board of Supervisors a position on the Governor's Affordable Housing By-Right Proposal or providing direction to staff on input on the proposal to be communicated with the California State Association of Counties (CSAC).

The Committee indicated they had ongoing concerns with the proposal’s impact on local land use control. Given the fluidity of the proposal, with amendments still being proposed and trailer bill language not anticipated to be finalized until August, the Committee requested that the item return for further consideration at a subsequent meeting.
