AB 2177 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Planning and Zoning law: open-space zoning.

Summary

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.

No substantive policy changes were made. The diff reflects only a change in document format: the 'from' version is a plain-text legislative introduction, while the 'to' version is a web-page rendering of the same bill from the California legislature website. The actual statutory text of Section 65912 is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a plain-text legislative introduction into a structured web page layout, adding navigation elements, a digest key with labeled fields (Vote, Appropriation, Fiscal Committee, Local Program), and section headers. No changes to the underlying legal text.
