CA SB322

Authorizes cities and counties to establish urban equestrian inclusion zones by ordinance, allowing voluntary contracts with landowners to restrict land use for equestrian activities such as stables, riding areas, and related facilities

Restricts eligible parcels to those within designated equine/equestrian districts in general or specific plans, currently used for equestrian activities since January 1, 2020, and not included in housing sites inventories

Contracts must have minimum 5-year terms, cover properties between 0.1 and 3 acres dedicated entirely to equestrian use, and prohibit dwellings except livestock caretaker housing

Classifies entering these equestrian land use contracts as "reducing the intensity of land use" under the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, requiring cities to offset any residential capacity loss elsewhere in the jurisdiction

Prohibits new contracts or renewals after January 1, 2029, though contracts entered before that date remain valid for their full duration
