AB 2580 Summary

• Requires cities and counties to include a list of all new historic designations (National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, or local register) in their annual general plan reports submitted by April 1 each year.

• Mandates reporting on the status of housing development projects proposed for newly designated historic properties, including whether projects have been entitled, whether building permits have been issued, and the number of units proposed.

• Establishes state-mandated local reporting requirements that impose increased duties on local planning agencies.

• Includes conditional operative provisions coordinating with Assembly Bills 2667 and 3093 to avoid conflicting amendments to Government Code Section 65400.

• Provides that no state reimbursement is required because local agencies have authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments to cover compliance costs.
