The Legislature further finds and declares that the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Water Resources Control Board and relevant California regional water quality control boards, and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission have agreed to participate in a joint effort known as the Long Term Management Strategy (LTMS) to formulate a federal/state management strategy for bay dredging that concentrates federal efforts toward studying and possibly designating ocean disposal sites, and state efforts towards inbay and upland disposal options. This chapter is intended to reflect the commission’s role in the Long Term Management Strategy, including all of the following: (a) Evaluation of the use of upland, diked bayland, and delta areas for reuse of material dredged from the bay, regulatory constraints and opportunities involving upland disposal, and potential project sponsors and methods to implement those uses. (b) Participation with the United States Geological Survey to make a detailed study of bay sediment processes affecting the need for bay dredging and the physical impacts of inbay disposal to augment the modeling work on bay sediment dynamics being performed by the State Water Resources Control Board and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. (c) Participation in the studies of the economic and environmental impacts of the array of disposal options, and assistance in the identification of feasible and environmentally acceptable disposal sites for material dredged from the bay in the ocean, bay, upland, and delta areas, with particular attention given to identifying sites suitable for the reuse of dredged materials. (d) Participation in the development of a joint agency comprehensive dredging management plan to implement the Long Term Management Strategy, which shall include all of the following: (1) Prioritization of dredging needs, taking into account technical requirements, geographic factors, costs, and economic investments affecting, and environmental impacts resulting from, maritime, recreational boating, and other dredging projects, and the monitoring and evaluation of regulatory compliance, the environmental effects of dredging and disposal, and the effectiveness of designated disposal sites. (2) Guidelines for dredging and disposal. (3) The establishment and implementation of an office of dredged material management, that includes at a minimum the agencies identified in Section 66663.2, and which will simplify and expedite the processing of permit applications for the dredging and disposal of dredged material using the Long Term Management Strategy goals and policies. (4) The development of alternatives to open water disposal of dredged sediments. (Amended by Stats. 1995, Ch. 951, Sec. 3. Effective January 1, 1996.)

The Legislature further finds and declares that the area of White Slough was not within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission from the time the commission was established in 1965 until the winter of 1976–77, when storms and other natural forces caused levees along the Napa River to breach, allowing greater and more frequent inundation by the tides into much of the area of White Slough. Because neither the owners of the property in the area of White Slough, nor any public agency repaired the levees in a timely manner, subsequently in 1977, most of the area of White Slough became subject to the jurisdiction of the commission and thereby subject to this title.

The Legislature further finds and declares that the breaches in the Napa River levees have caused a major sewerline to be covered by tidal waters, which could lead to serious water pollution in sensitive wildlife habitat areas in the event of leakage or breakage, to problems of infiltration of tidal waters into the sewerline, and to damage of wetlands during the normal maintenance of the sewerline. The breaches also allow the flooding of State Highway Route 37 and nearby developed areas which has already caused damage in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000) and threatens to cause additional damage in the future.

Provided that no other feasible measures are devised during the environmental review process which have fewer environmental impacts and which accomplish the goals of this chapter, this plan shall include the permanent protection and enhancement of at least 336 acres of tidal wetlands within White Slough and 132 acres of tidally influenced areas in South White Slough, provide for the minimum amount of fill, not to exceed 13 acres, necessary to widen State Highway Route 37 to a four-lane highway and to construct interchanges between State Highway Route 37 and State Highway Route 29 and Sacramento Street, provide flood protection for upland areas, provide for suitable water quality, and provide for wetlands enhancement for all tidally influenced areas of South White Slough, including a program for the acquisition, enhancement, and permanent preservation of those areas. (c) Not later than 30 days after adoption of the final plan by the city and the county, the city and the county shall submit the plan to the commission for review. The commission shall approve or disapprove the plan within 45 days of submittal on the basis of whether the plan meets the objectives of Sections 66677 and 66680 and includes changes to the relevant city and relevant county general and specific plans and includes proposed city ordinances and county ordinances necessary to implement the plan. (d) Upon approval of the plan by the commission and the adoption by the city and the county of necessary changes to the general and specific plans and implementing ordinances, the plan shall be the primary basis for reviewing applications for state and local permits for projects affecting White Slough. A permit shall be issued only if the permitting entity finds that the proposed project is consistent with the plan and the requirements of this chapter. (e) After adoption, no changes shall be made in the plan or the implementing ordinances without the prior notification and approval of the commission. (Amended by Stats. 1994, Ch. 528, Sec. 1.

The commission shall review and approve, or disapprove, the plan on the basis of whether the plan provides all of the following: (a) Permanent protection and enhancement of marshes, tidelands, tidally influenced wetlands, and upland habitat sufficient to assure the long-term usefulness of White Slough as a wildlife habitat, a flood basin consistent with wetland enhancement goals, and a wetland resource for the city and the region, including the establishment, operation, and maintenance of adequate tidal action and water quality to preclude algal blooms, to provide a fishery, and to provide waterfowl feeding, resting, and breeding areas. (b) Location and siting for a project that consists of a State Highway Route 37 widened to not more than four lanes, with the minimum medians and shoulders necessary to assure highway safety, interchanges between State Highway Route 37 and State Highway Route 29 and Sacramento Street, the covering of the flooded sewerline south of State Highway Route 37 and the relocation of the flooded line north of State Highway Route 37 within the area required for the widening of State Highway Route 37, and that provides for all of the following: (1) A tidal control structure or structures or open channels, sufficient to assure adequate waterflow for suitable water quality, wetland enhancement of South White Slough, and flood protection, between the wetlands north and south of the State Highway Route 37 corridor. (2) Adequate height and design to protect developed areas of the city from flooding. (3) No access from the widened State Highway Route 37 to tidal wetlands north of the highway. (4) The minimum wetland fill necessary, but in no event more than 13 acres. (5) Mitigation measures, specifically including the following: (A) Prior to the placing of fill or commencement of other highway construction work, acquisition of upland areas in the vicinity of White Slough which do not presently provide unique or especially significant wildlife habitat and which are four times the size of the area to be filled. (B) The conversion of these lands to wetlands during highway construction. (C) The hiring of an independent biologist to assess current conditions on the wetlands to be filled and to monitor the conditions of the newly created wetlands over time. (D) The permanent protection of the created wetlands. (E) Assurances that the created wetlands will be functioning in a manner which fully replaces the filled wetlands within five years. If, after three years it does not appear that the created wetlands will be fully functioning within the five-year period, then the wetlands shall be further improved in a manner which ensures full replacement of the filled wetlands or which provides additional new wetlands. After the five years, the department shall no longer be required to maintain the created wetlands, but may transfer the created wetlands either to the Department of Fish and Game or to another appropriate resource agency for the wetlands’ permanent management for wildlife habitat purposes. (c) Levees within and adjacent to South White Slough necessary for flood control, wetland habitat enhancement, and public access purposes. The department shall not be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the levees within and adjacent to South White Slough, except for the White Slough Project. Fill for flood control and public access purposes shall be the minimum necessary and shall be mitigated by the acquisition, excavation, and conversion to wetlands of uplands in the vicinity of the project and which do not presently provide unique or especially significant wildlife habitat, to provide an area of wetland habitat at least twice the area to be filled. (d) Acquisition of interests in real property sufficient to preserve and maintain permanently the wetland, tidal, water-covered, and public access areas of White Slough. (e) Recognition that the project constructed in accordance with the plan is required to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act, if applicable.

## Government Code - GOV ## TITLE 7.2. SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION [66600 - 66694] ( Title 7.2 added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 1162. ) ## CHAPTER 7. San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail [66690 - 66694] ( Chapter 7 added by Stats. 2005, Ch. 331, Sec. 1. ) ## 66691. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (a) The public has an interest in the San Francisco Bay and the surrounding watershed lands as one of the most valuable natural resources of the state, a resource that gives special character to the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco Bay is the central feature in an interconnected open-space system of watersheds, natural habitats, waterways, scenic areas, agricultural lands, and regional trails. (b) Water-oriented recreational uses of the San Francisco Bay, including kayaking, canoeing, sailboarding, sculling, rowing, car-top sailing, and the like, are of great benefit to the public welfare of the San Francisco Bay Area. With loss of public open space, the public increasingly looks to the bay, the region’s largest open space, for recreational opportunities. Water-oriented recreational uses are an integral element of the recreational opportunities that span the San Francisco Bay Area and add to the community vitality and quality of life that the citizens of the region enjoy. (c) Water trails have been designated throughout the United States and have proven to be an important vehicle for promoting water-oriented recreation for citizens of all economic means. Water trails can inform the public about natural, cultural, and historic features and foster public stewardship of these resources. Water trails aid in urban renewal of industrial waterfronts. In combination with hiking, biking, and horse trails, water trails are an important element in the development of multiuse and multiday recreational opportunities that in turn have a positive regional economic benefit. (d) Bay Access, Incorporated, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation of the San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail, has identified a series of existing and potential access points to the San Francisco Bay that encircle the bay. The designation of a water trail linking these existing and any future access sites that is designed and implemented consistent with this chapter, would advance the regional goals and state mandate of the commission to foster public access and recreational use of the bay. (e) San Francisco Bay is an aquatic habitat of international importance. It provides critical habitat for 70 percent of the shore birds and 50 percent of the diving ducks on the Pacific Flyway, as well as for many other waterbird species. It also provides habitat for marine mammals, other aquatic species, and colonial nesting birds, including many federal- and state-listed endangered or threatened species, such as the endangered California clapper rail. (f) The San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail, established pursuant to this chapter, shall be implemented consistent with the goals of improving access to, within, and around the bay, coast, ridgetops, and urban open spaces while respecting the rights of private property owners, considering navigation safety and homeland security concerns in establishing the access points around the bay and the siting of overnight accommodations, minimizing the adverse impacts on agricultural operations, and protecting endangered and threatened species, and species of special concern. (g) It is not the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this chapter, to modify any provision of this title except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter.

Findings and Declarations [66700 - 66700.5] ( Chapter 1 added by Stats. 2008, Ch. 690, Sec. 1. ) ## 66700.5. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (a) The nine counties surrounding the San Francisco Bay constitute a region with unique natural resource and outdoor recreational needs. The San Francisco Bay is the region’s greatest natural resource and its central feature and contributes greatly to California’s economic health and vitality. The bay is a hub of an interconnected open-space system of watersheds, natural habitats, scenic areas, agricultural lands, and regional trails. (b) As the largest estuary on the West Coast of the United States, the San Francisco Bay is home to hundreds of fish and wildlife species and provides many outdoor recreational opportunities. The San Francisco Bay is home to 105 threatened species and 23 endangered species of wildlife. The San Francisco Bay and its tidal and seasonal wetlands and other natural shoreline habitats are a significant part of the state’s coastal resources and a healthy bay is necessary to support the state’s human and wildlife populations. (c) The Legislature has declared, in the California Ocean Protection Act, that California’s coastal and ocean resources are critical to the state’s environmental and economic security and integral to the state’s quality of life. (d) A healthy San Francisco Bay is essential to a healthy ocean ecosystem. Forty percent of the land in the state drains to the San Francisco Bay. Pollution from cars, homes, and neighborhoods around the bay, as well as from communities as far away as Fresno, Redding, and Sacramento, drains into creeks, streams, and rivers that flow to the bay before entering the Pacific Ocean. (e) The San Francisco Bay is an estuary that is a critical nursery for many ocean species, and the bay’s wetlands, which are sheltered from high winds, big waves, and fast-moving water, provide plentiful food and protection from ocean predators. The bay’s fertile mixing zone of fresh and salty water also generates the ocean’s food chain base. (f) The restoration, preservation, and maintenance of vital wetlands and San Francisco Bay habitat, improvement of bay water quality, provision of public access to the bay shoreline, and enhancement of shoreline recreational amenities for the growing population of the San Francisco Bay Area are immediate state and regional priorities that are necessary to address continuing serious threats posed by pollution and sprawl and to improve the region’s quality of life. (g) Wetland restoration in the San Francisco Bay is necessary to address the growing danger that global warming and rises in sea level pose to the economic well-being, public health, natural resources, and environment of California. Tidal wetlands can both assist with tidal and fluvial flood management and adapt to rises in sea level by accreting additional sediment and rising in elevation. Leading scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the United States government have found that the restoration of lost wetlands represents an immediate and large opportunity for enhancing terrestrial carbon sequestration. (h) The importance of protecting and restoring the San Francisco Bay’s tidal wetlands and other natural habitat was underscored by the 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill, and the critical importance of restoration projects and the long-term health of the bay are well-documented in regional plans and reports, including the San Francisco Estuary Project’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s San Francisco Bay Plan, the Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Report, the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture’s “Restoring the Estuary” Implementation Strategy, the Resources Agency report, “California’s Ocean Economy,” and the Save The Bay’s “Greening the Bay” report. (i) The protection and restoration of the San Francisco Bay require efficient and effective use of public funds, leveraging of local funds with state and federal resources, and investment of significant resources over a sustained period for habitat restoration on shoreline parcels, parks, and recreational facilities, and public access to natural areas. (j) The protection and restoration of the San Francisco Bay and the enhancement of its shoreline confer special benefits on property proximate to the bay. Properties proximate to the bay receive special benefits from the contribution of a healthy and vibrant bay to the region’s economy and quality of life, including improved access to the bay’s shoreline, enhanced recreational amenities in the area, and protection from flooding. (k) The San Francisco Bay Area needs to develop regional mechanisms to generate and allocate additional resources to address threats to the San Francisco Bay and to secure opportunities for the improvement of the bay and its shoreline, natural areas, and recreational facilities. (l) It is in the public interest to create the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority as a regional entity to generate and allocate resources for the protection and enhancement of tidal wetlands and other wildlife habitat in and surrounding the San Francisco Bay.

The designation of a named alternate, which shall be in writing and contain evidence of confirmation by the appointing power, shall be kept on file with the agency. An appointed member may change the alternate from time to time, with the confirmation of the appointing power, but shall have only one designated alternate at a time. An alternate shall be subject to those qualifications and requirements prescribed by this compact that are applicable to the appointed member. (3) If any appointing authority under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) or subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (2) fails to make such an appointment within 60 days after the effective date of the amendments to this compact or the occurrence of a vacancy on the governing body, the governor of the state in which the appointing authority is located shall make the appointment. The term of any member so appointed shall be one year. (4) The position of any member of the governing body shall be deemed vacant if such a member is absent from three consecutive meetings of the governing body in any calendar year. (5) Each member and employee of the agency shall disclose any economic interests in the region within 10 days after taking a seat on the governing board or being employed by the agency and shall thereafter disclose any further economic interest acquired as soon as feasible after acquiring it.

No member or employee of the agency shall make, or attempt to influence, an agency decision in which they know or have reason to know that they have an economic interest. Members and employees of the agency must disqualify themselves from making or participating in the making of any decision of the agency when it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the economic interests of the member or employee. (b) The members of the agency shall serve without compensation, but the expenses of each member shall be met by the body that they represent in accordance with the law of that body. All other expenses incurred by the governing body in the course of exercising the powers conferred upon it by this compact unless met in some other manner specifically provided, shall be paid by the agency out of its own funds. (c) The members of the governing body serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority in each case, but each appointment shall be reviewed no less often than every four years. Members may be reappointed. (d) The governing body of the agency shall meet at least monthly. All meetings shall be open to the public to the extent required by the law of the State of California or the State of Nevada, whichever imposes the greater requirement, applicable to local governments at the time such meeting is held. The governing body shall fix a date for its regular monthly meeting in such terms as “the first Monday of each month,” and shall not change such date more often than once in any calendar year. Notice of the date so fixed shall be given by publication at least once in a newspaper or combination of newspapers whose circulation is general throughout the region and in each county a portion of whose territory lies within the region. Notice of any special meeting, except an emergency meeting, shall be given by publishing the date and place and posting an agenda at least five days prior to the meeting. (e) The position of a member of the governing body shall be considered vacated upon the loss of any of the qualifications required for that appointment, and in such event the appointing authority shall appoint a successor.

If a vacancy occurs in either office, the governing body may fill such vacancy for the unexpired term. (g) Four of the members of the governing body from each state constitute a quorum for the transaction of the business of the agency. The voting procedures shall be as follows: (1) For adopting, amending, or repealing environmental threshold carrying capacities, the regional plan, and ordinances, rules, and regulations, and for granting variances from the ordinances, rules, and regulations, the vote of at least four of the members of each state agreeing with the vote of at least four members of the other state shall be required to take action. If there is no vote of at least four of the members from one state agreeing with the vote of at least four of the members of the other state on the actions specified in this paragraph, an action of rejection shall be deemed to have been taken. (2) For approving a project, the affirmative vote of at least five members from the state in which the project is located and the affirmative vote of at least nine members of the governing body are required. If at least five members of the governing body from the state in which the project is located and at least nine members of the entire governing body do not vote in favor of the project, upon a motion for approval, an action of rejection shall be deemed to have been taken. A decision by the agency to approve a project shall be supported by a statement of findings, adopted by the agency, that indicates that the project complies with the regional plan and with applicable ordinances, rules, and regulations of the agency. (3) For routine business and for directing the agency’s staff on litigation and enforcement actions, at least eight members of the governing body must agree to take action. If at least eight votes in favor of such action are not cast, an action of rejection shall be deemed to have been taken. Whenever under the provisions of this compact or any ordinance, rule, regulation, or policy adopted pursuant thereto, the agency is required to review or approve any project, public or private, the agency shall take final action by vote, whether to approve, to require modification or to reject such project, within 180 days after the application for such project is accepted as complete by the agency in compliance with the agency’s rules and regulations governing such delivery unless the applicant has agreed to an extension of this time limit. If a final action by vote does not take place within 180 days, the applicant may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel a vote unless the applicant has agreed to an extension. This provision does not limit the right of any person to obtain judicial review of agency action under subdivision (h) of Article VI. The vote of each member of the governing body shall be individually recorded. The governing body shall adopt its own rules, regulations, and procedures. (h) (1) An advisory planning commission shall be appointed by the agency. The commission shall include: the chief planning officers of Placer County, El Dorado County, and the City of South Lake Tahoe in California and of Douglas County, Washoe County, and Carson City in Nevada, the executive officer of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board of the State of California, the executive officer of the State Air Resources Board of the State of California, the Director of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources of the State of Nevada, the Administrator of the Division of Environmental Protection in the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources of the State of Nevada, the Administrator of the Lake Tahoe Management Unit of the United States Forest Service, and at least four lay members with an equal number from each state, at least one-half of whom shall be residents of the region. Any official member may designate an alternate. (2) The term of office of each lay member of the advisory planning commission shall be two years. Members may be reappointed. (3) The position of each member of the advisory planning commission shall be considered vacated upon loss of any of the qualifications required for appointment, and in such an event the appointing authority shall appoint a successor. (4) The advisory planning commission shall elect from its own members a chairperson and a vice chairperson, whose terms of office shall be two years and who may be reelected. If a vacancy occurs in either office, the advisory planning commission shall fill such vacancy for the unexpired term. (5) A majority of the members of the advisory planning commission constitutes a quorum for the transaction of the business of the commission. A majority vote of the quorum present shall be required to take action with respect to any matter. (i) The agency shall establish and maintain an office within the region, and for this purpose the agency may rent or own property and equipment. Every plan, ordinance, and other record of the agency that is of such nature as to constitute a public record under the law of either the State of California or the State of Nevada shall be opened to inspection and copying during regular office hours. (j) Each authority charged under this compact or by the law of either state with the duty of appointing a member of the governing body of the agency shall by certified copy of its resolution or other action notify the Secretary of State of its own state of the action taken. ## ARTICLE IV.PERSONNEL (a) The governing body shall determine the qualification of, and it shall appoint and fix the salary of, the executive officer of the agency, and shall employ such other staff and legal counsel as may be necessary to execute the powers and functions provided for under this compact or in accordance with any intergovernmental contracts or agreements the agency may be responsible for administering. (b) Agency personnel standards and regulations shall conform insofar as possible to the regulations and procedures of the civil service of the State of California or the State of Nevada, as may be determined by the governing body of the agency; and shall be regional and bistate in application and effect; provided that the governing body may, for administrative convenience and at its discretion, assign the administration of designated personnel arrangements to an agency of either state, and provided that administratively convenient adjustments be made in the standards and regulations governing personnel assigned under intergovernmental agreements. (c) The agency may establish and maintain or participate in such additional programs of employee benefits as may be appropriate to afford employees of the agency terms and conditions of employment similar to those enjoyed by employees of California and Nevada generally. ## ARTICLE V.PLANNING (a) In preparing each of the plans required by this article and each amendment thereto, if any, subsequent to its adoption, the planning commission after due notice shall hold at least one public hearing, which may be continued from time to time, and shall review the testimony and any written recommendations presented at such hearing before recommending the plan or amendment. The notice required by this subdivision shall be given at least 20 days before the public hearing by publication at least once in a newspaper or combination of newspapers whose circulation is general throughout the region and in each county a portion of whose territory lies within the region. The planning commission shall then recommend such plan or amendment to the governing body for adoption by ordinance. The governing body may adopt, modify, or reject the proposed plan or amendment, or may initiate and adopt a plan or amendment without referring it to the planning commission. If the governing body initiates or substantially modifies a plan or amendment, it shall hold at least one public hearing thereon after due notice as required in this subdivision. If a request is made for the amendment of the regional plan by either of the following entities, the governing body shall complete its action on the amendment within 180 days after that request is accepted as complete according to standards that must be prescribed by ordinance of the agency: (1) A political subdivision a part of whose territory would be affected by the amendment. (2) The owner or lessee of real property that would be affected by the amendment. (b) The agency shall develop, in cooperation with the States of California and Nevada, environmental threshold carrying capacities for the region. The agency should request the President’s Council on Environmental Quality, the United States Forest Service, and other appropriate agencies to assist in developing such environmental threshold carrying capacities. Within 18 months after the effective date of the amendments to this compact, the agency shall adopt environmental threshold carrying capacities for the region. (c) Within one year after the adoption of the environmental threshold carrying capacities for the region, the agency shall amend the regional plan so that, at a minimum, the plan and all of its elements, as implemented through agency ordinances, rules, and regulations, achieves and maintains the adopted environmental threshold carrying capacities. Each element of the plan shall contain implementation provisions and time schedules for such implementation by ordinance. The planning commission and governing body shall continuously review and maintain the regional plan, and, in so doing, shall ensure that the regional plan reflects changing economic conditions and the economic effect of regulation on commerce. The regional plan shall consist of a diagram, or diagrams, and text, or texts setting forth the projects and proposals for implementation of the regional plan, a description of the needs and goals of the region, and a statement of the policies, standards, and elements of the regional plan. The regional plan shall be a single enforceable plan and include all of the following correlated elements: (1) A land use plan for the integrated arrangement and general location and extent of, and the criteria and standards for, the uses of land, water, air, space, and other natural resources within the region, including, but not limited to, an indication or allocation of maximum population densities and permitted uses. (2) A transportation plan for the integrated development of a regional system of transportation, including, but not limited to, parkways, highways, transportation facilities, transit routes, waterways, navigation facilities, public transportation facilities, bicycle facilities, and appurtenant terminals and facilities for the movement of people and goods within the region. The goal of transportation planning shall be: (A) To reduce dependency on the automobile by making more effective use of existing transportation modes and of public transit to move people and goods within the region. (B) To reduce to the extent feasible air pollution that is caused by motor vehicles. If increases in capacity are required, the agency shall give preference to providing that capacity through public transportation and public programs and projects related to transportation. The agency shall review and consider all existing transportation plans in preparing its regional transportation plan pursuant to this paragraph. The plan shall provide for an appropriate transit system for the region. The plan shall give consideration to all of the following: (A) Completion of the Loop Road in the States of Nevada and California. (B) Use of a light rail mass transit system in the south shore area. (C) Use of a transit terminal in the Kingsbury Grade area. Until the regional plan is revised, or a new transportation plan is adopted in accordance with this paragraph, the agency has no effective transportation plan. (3) A conservation plan for the preservation, development, utilization, and management of the scenic and other natural resources within the basin, including, but not limited to, soils, shoreline and submerged lands, scenic corridors along transportation routes, open spaces, and recreational and historical facilities. (4) A recreation plan for the development, use, and management of the recreational resources of the region, including, but not limited to, wilderness and forested lands, parks and parkways, riding and hiking trails, beaches and playgrounds, marinas, areas for skiing, and other recreational facilities. (5) A public services and facilities plan for the general location, scale, and provision of public services and facilities, which, by the nature of their function, size, extent, and other characteristics are necessary or appropriate for inclusion in the regional plan. In formulating and maintaining the regional plan, the planning commission and governing body shall take account of and shall seek to harmonize the needs of the region as a whole, the plans of the counties and cities within the region, the plans and planning activities of the state, federal, and other public agencies and nongovernmental agencies and organizations that affect or are concerned with planning and development within the region. (d) (1) The regional plan shall provide for attaining and maintaining federal, state, or local air and water quality standards, whichever are strictest, in the respective portions of the region for which the standards are applicable. (2) The agency may, however, adopt air or water quality standards or control measures more stringent than the applicable state implementation plan or the applicable federal, state, or local standards for the region, if it finds that such additional standards or control measures are necessary to achieve the purposes of this compact. Each element of the regional plan, where applicable, shall, by ordinance, identify the means and time schedule by which air and water quality standards will be attained. (e) Except for the Regional Transportation Plan of the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the regional plan, ordinances, rules, and regulations adopted by the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in effect on July 1, 1980, shall be the regional plan, ordinances, rules, and regulations of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency for that portion of the Tahoe region located in the State of California. The plan, ordinance, rule, or regulation may be amended or repealed by the governing body of the agency. The plans, ordinances, rules, and regulations of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency that do not conflict with, or are not addressed by, the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s plans, ordinances, rules, and regulations referred to in this subdivision shall continue to be applicable unless amended or repealed by the governing body of the agency. No provision of the regional plan, ordinances, rules, and regulations of the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency referred to in this subdivision shall apply to that portion of the region within the State of Nevada, unless such provision is adopted for the Nevada portion of the region by the governing body of the agency. (f) The regional plan, ordinances, rules, and regulations of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency apply to that portion of the region within the State of Nevada. (g) The agency shall adopt ordinances prescribing specific written findings that the agency must make prior to approving any project in the region. These findings shall relate to environmental protection and shall ensure that the project under review will not adversely affect implementation of the regional plan and will not cause the adopted environmental threshold carrying capacities of the region to be exceeded. (h) The agency shall maintain the data, maps, and other information developed in the course of formulating and administering the regional plan, in a form suitable to ensure a consistent view of developmental trends and other relevant information for the availability of and use by other agencies of government and by private organizations and individuals concerned. (i) Where necessary for the realization of the regional plan, the agency may engage in collaborative planning with local governmental jurisdictions located outside the region, but contiguous to its boundaries. In formulating and implementing the regional plan, the agency shall seek the cooperation and consider the recommendations of counties and cities and other agencies of local government, of state and federal agencies, of educational institutions and research organizations, whether public or private, and of civic groups and private persons. ## ARTICLE VI.AGENCY’S POWERS (a) (1) The governing body shall adopt all necessary ordinances, rules, and regulations to effectuate the adopted regional plan. Except as otherwise provided in this compact, every such ordinance, rule, or regulation shall establish a minimum standard applicable throughout the region. Any political subdivision or public agency may adopt and enforce an equal or higher requirement applicable to the same subject of regulation in its territory. The regulations of the agency shall contain standards including, but not limited to, the following: water purity and clarity; subdivision; zoning; tree removal; solid waste disposal; sewage disposal; landfills, excavations, cuts, and grading; piers, harbors, breakwaters, or channels and other shoreline developments; waste disposal in shoreline areas; waste disposal from boats; mobilehome parks; house relocation; outdoor advertising; flood plain protection; soil and sedimentation control; air pollution; and watershed protection. Whenever possible without diminishing the effectiveness of the regional plan, the ordinances, rules, regulations, and policies shall be confined to matters that are general and regional in application, leaving to the jurisdiction of the respective states, counties, and cities the enactment of specific and local ordinances, rules, regulations, and policies that conform to the regional plan. (2) The agency shall prescribe by ordinance those activities that it has determined will not have substantial effect on the land, water, air, space, or any other natural resources in the region and therefore will be exempt from its review and approval. (3) Every ordinance adopted by the agency shall be published at least once by title in a newspaper or combination of newspapers whose circulation is general throughout the region. Except an ordinance adopting or amending the regional plan, no ordinance shall become effective until 60 days after its adoption. Immediately after its adoption, a copy of each ordinance shall be transmitted to the governing body of each political subdivision having territory within the region. (b) (1) No project other than those to be reviewed and approved under the special provisions of subdivisions (d), (e), (f), and (g) may be developed in the region without obtaining the review and approval of the agency and no project may be approved unless it is found to comply with the regional plan and with the ordinances, rules, and regulations enacted pursuant to subdivision (a) to effectuate that plan. (2) The agency may approve a project in the region only after making the written findings required by this subdivision or subdivision (g) of Article V. Such findings shall be based on substantial evidence in the record. (3) Before adoption by the agency of the ordinances required in subdivision (g) of Article V, the agency may approve a project in the region only after making written findings on the basis of substantial evidence in the record that the project is consistent with the regional plan then in effect and with applicable plans, ordinances, regulations, and standards of federal and state agencies relating to the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of environmental quality in the region. (c) The Legislatures of the States of California and Nevada find that in order to make effective the regional plan as revised by the agency, it is necessary to halt temporarily works of development in the region that might otherwise absorb the entire capability of the region for further development or direct it out of harmony with the ultimate plan. Subject to the limitation provided in this subdivision, from the effective date of the amendments to this compact until the regional plan is amended pursuant to subdivision (c) of Article V, or until May 1, 1983, whichever is earlier: (1) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no new subdivision, planned unit development, or condominium project may be approved unless a complete tentative map or plan has been approved before the effective date of the amendments to this compact by all agencies having jurisdiction. The subdivision of land owned by a general improvement district, which existed and owned the land before the effective date of the amendments to this compact, may be approved if subdivision of the land is necessary to avoid insolvency of the district. (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), no apartment building may be erected unless the required permits for such building have been secured from all agencies having jurisdiction, before the effective date of the amendments to this compact. (3) (A) During each of the calendar years 1980, 1981, and 1982, no city or county may issue building permits that authorize the construction of a greater number of new residential units within the region than were authorized within the region by building permits issued by that city or county during the calendar year 1978. For the period of January through April 1983, building permits authorizing the construction of no more than one-third of that number may be issued by each such city or county. For purposes of this paragraph, a “residential unit” means either a single family residence or an individual residential unit within a larger building, such as an apartment building, a duplex, or a condominium. (B) The Legislatures find the respective numbers of residential units authorized within the region during the calendar year 1978 to be as follows: 1. City of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County (combined) ........................ 252 2. Placer County ........................ 278 3. Carson City ........................ 0 4. Douglas County ........................ 339 5. Washoe County ........................ 739 (4) (A) During each of the calendar years 1980, 1981, and 1982, no city or county may issue building permits that authorize construction of a greater square footage of new commercial buildings within the region than were authorized within the region by building permits for commercial purposes issued by that city or county during the calendar year 1978. For the period of January through April 1983, building permits authorizing the construction of no more than one-third the amount of that square footage may be issued by each such city or county. (B) The Legislatures find the respective square footages of commercial buildings authorized within the region during the calendar year 1978 to be as follows: 1. City of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County (combined) ........................ 64,324 2. Placer County ........................ 23,000 3. Carson City ........................ 0 4. Douglas County ........................ 57,354 5. Washoe County ........................ 50,600 (5) No structure may be erected to house gaming under a nonrestricted license. (6) No facility for the treatment of sewage may be constructed or enlarged except in any of the following circumstances: (A) To comply, as ordered by the appropriate state agency for the control of water pollution, with existing limitations of effluence under the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Sec. 1251 et seq.) and the applicable state law for control of water pollution. (B) To accommodate development which is not prohibited or limited by this subdivision. (C) In the case of Douglas County Sewer District #1, to modify or otherwise alter sewage treatment facilities existing on the effective date of the amendments to this compact so that such facilities will be able to treat the total volume of effluence for which they were originally designed, which is 3.0 mgd. The modification or alteration is not a “project,” is not subject to the requirements of Article VII, and does not require a permit from the agency. Before commencing that modification or alternative, however, the district shall submit to the agency its report identifying any significant soil erosion problems that may be caused by the modifications or alterations and the measures that the district proposes to take to mitigate or avoid those problems. The moratorium imposed by this subdivision does not apply to work done pursuant to a right vested before the effective date of the amendments to this compact. Notwithstanding the expiration date of the moratorium imposed by this subdivision, no new highway may be built or existing highway widened to accommodate additional continuous lanes for automobiles until the regional transportation plan is revised and adopted. The moratorium imposed by this subdivision does not apply to the construction of any parking garage that has been approved by the agency before May 4, 1979, whether that approval was affirmative or by default. The provisions of this paragraph are not an expression of legislative intent that any such parking garage, the approval of which is the subject of litigation that was pending on the effective date of the amendments to this compact, should, or should not, be constructed. The provisions of this paragraph are intended solely to permit construction of such a parking garage if judgment sustaining the agency’s approval to construct that parking garage has become final and no appeal is pending or may lawfully be taken to a higher court. (d) Subject to the final order of any court of competent jurisdiction entered in litigation contesting the validity of an approval by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, whether that approval was affirmative or by default, if that litigation was pending on May 4, 1979, the agency and the States of California and Nevada shall recognize as a permitted and conforming use: (1) Every structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license that existed as a licensed gaming establishment on May 4, 1979, or whose construction was approved by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency affirmatively or deemed approved before that date. The construction or use of any structure to house gaming under a nonrestricted license not so existing or approved, or the enlargement in cubic volume of any such existing or approved structure is prohibited. (2) Every other nonrestricted gaming establishment whose use was seasonal and whose license was issued before May 4, 1979, for the same season and for the number and type of games and slot machines on which taxes or fees were paid in the calendar year 1978. (3) Gaming conducted pursuant to a restricted gaming license issued before May 4, 1979, to the extent permitted by that license on that date. The area within any structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license that may be open to public use (as distinct from that devoted to the private use of guests and exclusive of any parking area) is limited to the area existing or approved for public use on May 4, 1979. Within these limits, any external modification of the structure that requires a permit from a local government also requires approval from the agency. The agency shall not permit restaurants, convention facilities, showrooms, or other public areas to be constructed elsewhere in the region outside the structure in order to replace areas existing or approved for public use on May 4, 1979. (e) Any structure housing licensed gaming may be rebuilt or replaced to a size not to exceed the cubic volume, height, and land coverage existing or approved on May 4, 1979, without the review or approval of the agency or any planning or regulatory authority of the State of Nevada whose review or approval would be required for a new structure. (f) The following provisions apply to any internal or external modification, remodeling, change in use, or repair of a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license that is not prohibited by subdivision (d): (1) The agency’s review of an external modification of the structure that requires a permit from a local government is limited to determining whether the external modification will do any of the following: (A) Enlarge the cubic volume of the structure.

If an external modification is determined to have any of the effects enumerated in subparagraphs (A) through (C), it is prohibited. If an external modification is determined to have any of the effects enumerated in subparagraph (D) or (E), it is subject to the applicable provisions of this compact. If an external modification is determined to have no such effect, it is not subject to the provisions of this compact. (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), internal modification, remodeling, change in use, or repair of a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license is not a project and does not require the review or approval of the agency. (3) Internal modification, remodeling, change in use, or repair of areas open to the public use within a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license that alone or in combination with any other such modification, remodeling, change in use, or repair will increase the total portion of those areas that are used for gaming by more than the product of the total base area, as defined below, in square feet existing on or approved before August 4, 1980, multiplied by 15 percent constitutes a project and is subject to all of the provisions of this compact relating to projects. For purposes of this paragraph and the determination required by subdivision (g), base area means all of the area within a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license that may be open to public use, whether or not gaming is actually conducted or carried on in that area, except retail stores, convention centers and meeting rooms, administrative offices, kitchens, maintenance and storage areas, restrooms, engineering and mechanical rooms, accounting rooms, and counting rooms.

The Nevada agency shall transmit this information to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. (h) Gaming conducted pursuant to a restricted gaming license is exempt from review by the agency if it is incidental to the primary use of the premises. (i) The provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) are intended only to limit gaming and related activities as conducted within a gaming establishment, or construction designed to permit the enlargement of such activities, and not to limit any other use of property zoned for commercial use or the accommodation of tourists, as approved by the agency.

(2) Venue lies: (A) If a civil or criminal action challenges an activity by the agency or any person that is undertaken or to be undertaken upon a parcel of real property, in the state or federal judicial district where the real property is situated. (B) If an action challenges an activity that does not involve a specific parcel of land (such as an action challenging an ordinance of the agency), in any state or federal court having jurisdiction within the region. (3) Any aggrieved person may file an action in an appropriate court of the State of California or Nevada or of the United States alleging noncompliance with the provisions of this compact or with an ordinance or regulation of the agency. In the case of governmental agencies, “aggrieved person” means the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency or any state, federal, or local agency. In the case of any person other than a governmental agency who challenges an action of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, “aggrieved person” means any person who has appeared, either in person, through an authorized representative, or in writing, before the agency at an appropriate administrative hearing to register objection to the action that is being challenged, or who had good cause for not making such an appearance. (4) A legal action arising out of the adoption or amendment of the regional plan or of any ordinance or regulation of the agency, or out of the granting or denial of any permit, shall be commenced within 60 days after final action by the agency. All other legal actions shall be commenced within 65 days after discovery of the cause of action. (5) (A) In any legal action filed pursuant to this subdivision that challenges an adjudicatory act or decision of the agency to approve or disapprove a project, the scope of judicial inquiry shall extend only to whether there was prejudicial abuse of discretion. Prejudicial abuse of discretion is established if the agency has not proceeded in a manner required by law or if the act or decision of the agency was not supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. In making such a determination the court shall not exercise its independent judgment on evidence but shall only determine whether the act or decision was supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. In any legal action filed pursuant to this subdivision that challenges a legislative act or decision of the agency (such as the adoption of the regional plan and the enactment of implementing ordinances), the scope of the judicial inquiry shall extend only to the questions of whether the act or decision has been arbitrary, capricious, or lacking substantial evidentiary support or whether the agency has failed to proceed in a manner required by law. (B) (i) When adopting or amending a regional plan, the agency shall act in accordance with the requirements of the compact and its implementing ordinances, rules, and regulations, and a party challenging the regional plan has the burden of showing that the regional plan is not in conformance with those requirements. (ii) When taking an action or making a decision, the agency shall act in accordance with the requirements of the compact and the regional plan, including the implementing ordinances, rules, and regulations, and a party challenging the action or decision has the burden of showing that the act or decision is not in conformance with those requirements. (6) The provisions of this subdivision do not apply to any legal proceeding pending on the date when this subdivision becomes effective. Any such legal proceeding shall be conducted and concluded under the provisions of law that were applicable before the effective date of this subdivision. (7) The security required for the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction based upon an alleged violation of this compact or any ordinance, plan, rule, or regulation adopted pursuant thereto is governed by the rule or statute applicable to the court in which the action is brought unless the action is brought by a public agency or political subdivision to enforce its own rules, regulations, and ordinances in which case no security shall be required. (k) The agency shall monitor activities in the region and may bring enforcement actions in the region to ensure compliance with the regional plan and adopted ordinances, rules, regulations, and policies. If it is found that the regional plan, or ordinances, rules, regulations, and policies are not being enforced by a local jurisdiction, the agency may bring action in a court of competent jurisdiction to ensure compliance. (l) Any person who violates any provision of this compact or of any ordinance or regulation of the agency or of any condition of approval imposed by the agency is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000). Any such person is subject to an additional civil penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) per day, for each day on which such a violation persists. In imposing the penalties authorized by this subdivision, the court shall consider the nature of the violation and shall impose a greater penalty if it was willful or resulted from gross negligence than if it resulted from inadvertence or simple negligence. (m) The agency is hereby empowered to initiate, negotiate, and participate in contracts and agreements among the local governmental authorities of the region, or any other intergovernmental contracts or agreements authorized by state or federal law. (n) Each intergovernmental contract or agreement shall provide for its own funding and staffing, but this shall not preclude financial contributions from the local authorities concerned or from supplementary sources. (o) Every record of the agency, whether public or not, shall be open for examination to the Legislature and Controller of the State of California and the Legislative Auditor of the State of Nevada. (p) Approval by the agency of any project expires three years after the date of final action by the agency or the effective date of the amendments to this compact, whichever is later, unless construction is begun within that time and diligently pursued thereafter, or the use or activity has commenced. In computing the three-year period any period of time during which the project is the subject of a legal action that delays or renders impossible the diligent pursuit of that project shall not be counted. Any license, permit, or certificate issued by the agency that has an expiration date shall be extended by that period of time during which the project is the subject of such legal action as provided in this subdivision. (q) The governing body shall maintain a current list of real property known to be available for exchange with the United States or with other owners of real property in order to facilitate exchanges of real property by owners of real property in the region. ## ARTICLE VII.ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS (a) The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, when acting upon matters that have a significant effect on the environment, shall do all of the following: (1) Use a systematic, interdisciplinary approach that will ensure the integrated use of the natural and social sciences and the environmental design arts in planning and in decisionmaking that may have an impact on the environment of humans.
