§ 66652 Bay Plan Amendment Process

Key Takeaways

  • •The commission can change the San Francisco Bay Plan, but the changes must match the goals and rules already set.
  • •Before making changes, the commission must hold a public meeting and give proper notice about what they want to change.
  • •If the change is about important policies or water uses, they must wait 90 days after the notice and get at least two-thirds of the commission to agree.
  • •If the change is only about maps or diagrams, they must wait 30 days (or 90 days for some special cases) and get more than half of the commission to agree.

Example

The commission wants to update a map in the San Francisco Bay Plan to show new protected areas for birds.

They must first tell the public about the meeting to discuss this change. Since it's just a map update, they wait 30 days after the notice and need more than half of the commission to vote 'yes' to make the change.

§ 66652 Bay Plan Amendment Process

The commission at any time may amend, or repeal and adopt a new form of, all or any part of the San Francisco Bay Plan but such changes shall be consistent with the findings and declarations of policy contained in this title. Such changes shall be made by resolution of the commission adopted after public hearing on the proposed change, of which adequate descriptive notice shall be given. If the proposed change pertains to a policy or standard contained in the San Francisco Bay Plan, or defines a water-oriented use referred to in Section 66602 or 66605, the resolution adopting the change shall not be voted upon less than 90 days following notice of hearing on the proposed change and shall require the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the commission members. If the proposed change pertains only to a map or diagram contained in the San Francisco Bay Plan, the resolution adopting the change shall not be voted on less than 30 days following notice of hearing on the proposed change, except that changes proposed under Section 66611 shall not be voted on less than 90 days following such notice, and shall, except as provided by Section 66611, require the affirmative vote of the majority of the commission members. (Amended by Stats. 1972, Ch. 373.)
