MEMORANDUM
Date:
September 6,2007
To:
Peggy Curran, Town Manager
From:
Nicholas Nguyen, Town Engineer
Laurie Tyler, Associate Planner
Subject:
Revised and Final Version of the Proposed Multi-Use Path Signage
After several meetings between Town Staff and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
(BPAC), as well as the Town Council, a final decision has been reached regarding the proposed
multi-use path signage. Staff and the BP AC have taken an incremental approach to installation of
signage and markings along the path. Steps will continue to be taken to enhance and fine tune the
signage once installation is complete and after a period of time. Attached is a copy of the final
version of the signage and path markings, which include the following revisions based on Staff,
BPAC and Town Council input:
. The white stripes have been retained with a modification to the language after the stripes
from "CAUTION ENTERING SLOW ZONE" to "BIKES SLOW DOWN" in the
designated entrances to slow zone areas;
. Sign messages have been modified from all caps to title-case for ease of reading with the
exception of the titles of the signs and the. distance designations;
. The message "USE SAFE SPEED" has been eliminated from the half mile marker signs
(bollards) as well as the countywide bike route signage;
. Decimal accuracy has been replaced with fractional accuracy on distance markers;
. The trailhead signs have been modified to include the word "Please" in front of "Be
Considerate" and "Keep Dogs On Leash" instead of "Control Pets";
. The countywide route signage will be included directly on the trailhead sign and will not
be a separate sign attached to the post;
. The phrase "Share The Path - Be Considerate" on the trailhead signs has been modified to
"Please Be Considerate - Share The Path";
. The font size has been increased for the distance designation on all signs;
. The bollard sign at San Rafael Avenue has been modified to direct users to continue down
the MUP and off Tiburon Boulevard;
. The message "CAUTION CHILDREN" will be stenciled on the path approaching the
South of Knoll Playground and again approaching McKegney Green.

FLOOR AREA EXCEPTION
On April 19, 2007 the Design Review Board reviewed revised plans for the construction of a
new single-family dwelling with a variance for a reduced side yard setback and a floor area
exception. During the meeting, adjacent neighbors raised concerns with the revised design of the
home and its potential for view blockage of downtown Tiburon, the harbor, Belvedere and
portions of his water views. Another neighbor below the subject site remained concerned that
the home would appear massive. The applicants stated that they were intending to modify the

pitch of the roof to a full gable style roofline, eliminating the center section of the roof that
would have projected at an upward angle. The Board continued the project with the applicant
advised to modify the roof and minimize the view impact for the adjacent neighbor at 1895
Centro West Street. Revised plans for the house design have now been ~ubmitted.
Luis Paez, project manager, gave a historical description of the project and their attempts to
revise the project design. He said that they attempted to design their proposal in conformance
with the Hillside Design Guidelines and based on concerns from the owners below the site, they
eliminated or reduced the. size of the upper windows on the south elevation to eliminate sun
reflection. He reiterated their request for the side yard setback variance, stating that it was due in
part to the topography of the site and the steep slope. He stated that at the April 19th Board
meeting they changed the pitch roof to a traditional gable roofline and shifted the second level
over into the hillside, and additionally agreed to further revise the roof so that it would not
impede views. He stated that a new designer was hired to prepare revised plans after the April
19th meeting.
Mr. Paez stated that the new house design was in full compliance with the Hillside Guidelines,
and includes a full hip roof at a 3: 12 pitch that mitigates the view impacts as much as possible.
He described other minor changes to the house design intended to address view and privacy
concerns. He said that they met with the owners at 1895 Centro West have agreed to further
reduce the ridge height elevation by 3 '2" by reducing the ceiling heights in the upper and lower
levels and excavating into the hillside. He stated that the new design would improve views and
work for both homeowners, and he therefore requested the Board's consideration and approval.
Boardmember Corcoran asked about whether the corner of the house closest to the driveway
could be moved out so that it would not protrude into the driveway. Mr Paez responded that the
story poles represent the comers of the 4 foot eaves and not the comers of the building.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Bill Lukens stated that he felt the process and design now worked. He noted that six hearings
had been held, the applicant has met their concerns. He said that they are very pleased with the
result and felt the house would now benefit the neighborhood.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Glassner acknowledged the proposal had been underway for some time and felt
the process working with neighbors was a good one. He said the neighbors ideally wanted the
roofline lowered 4 feet, and although he was unsure whether it would ultimately affect any
primary views, he could support the project as revised.
Boardmember Corcoran saluted the owners for working with the neighbors on what was a very
difficult site. He said that he was concerned with the comer because of its encroachment on the
driveway, but acknowledged that it was simply a roof overhang. However, he said he still had a .
problem with the floor area exception, as he could not make the findings for the exception.

Boardmember T eiser said he could support the project, noting that he thought the applicant met
the request and direction from the Board at the April 19 meeting. He said that he visited the site
and talked to residents who indicated their previous primary views were out more toward the
southwest to the bay and to the Golden Gate Bridge, and that they never had views toward
Belvedere and the yacht club. He felt the applicant had revised the project substantially and
addressed the neighbors' concerns, and said he could make the findings to approve the project.
Chair Doyle stated that after visiting the site, the story poles raised concerns which have now
been cleared up. He felt this was a tough lot upon which to build and acknowledged that the
applicant had done a lot to make changes and work with the neighbors. He said that given the lot
and floor plan, he could also support the floor area exception.

The applicant has submitted a request for construction of a new sing le- family dwelling on the
property located at 42 Claire Way. Currently the property is improved with a single-family
dwelling. The applicant is requesting to demolish over 50% of the existing walls of the structure.
By demolishing more than 50% of the structure, the project is therefore classified as "new
construction." The project proposed would maintain a single-story design. The existing structure
is comprised of three bedrooms, a great room, kitchen and a one-car garage. The proposal
intends to expand the home at the rear, to include a master bedroom suite, study, a new dining
room, and expansion of the existing great room.

Mohamad Sadrieh, architect, described the project, stating that they maintained the one-story
design to preserve views and the character of the house.
Boardmember Glassner questioned whether or not the frreplace would be relocated or would
there be a chimney. Mr. Sadrieh noted that the chimney would be no more than 2 feet higher than
the highest point of the roofridge and would not incorporate a metal cap. Boardmember Teiser
confirmed that the fireplace would be a non-particulate burning fireplace.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Evelyn Woo said that she has always enjoyed her views from the backyard and thanked the
architect and homeowner for being sensitive to the neighborhood and preserving her views.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Corcoran felt the remodel was appropriate for the neighborhood. He said that the
homes in this area were small when originally built and he felt the project would make the house
more livable. He thanked the applicant for maintaining the single-story house design.
Boardmember Glassner felt the design was simple and straightforward and consistent with the
neighborhood.
Boardmember Teiser agreed and was happy that a non-particulate burning fireplace would be
installed.
ACTION: It was MIS (CorcoranlTeiser) that the project is exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the application subject to the
conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff report, with the additional condition of

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to an
existing single-family dwelling on property located at 279 Cecilia Way. The living room would
be expanded to the rear of the house, and two bedrooms would be expanded to the front of the
house. An existing one-car garage would be expanded into a two-car garage. A new front entry
would also be established. Several existing skylights would be realigned on the roof to conform
to the location of the proposed additions. Variances are requested for reduced front and side
yard setbacks.
Carolyn Shadan, owner, said she reviewed their current neighborhood and various designs that
had come before the Board, and provided staff with a list of homes with two-car garages with
their setbacks from the edge of pavement. She described the project design and said that they
spoke with all their immediate neighbors who felt the addition would be in character with the
neighborhood.
Boardmember Corcoran asked if the owner considered keeping the distance of the garage door
from the street at the same depth and pushing the bedroom back to avoid the effect of a tight
visual corridor while driving down the street. Ms. Shadan replied that if the back bedroom was
pushed out she would need to redo the entire master bathroom and bedroom She said that she
will still be able to park two cars in her driveway and two cars inside the garage and two mature
Pistachio trees in the front would hide the garage from the street.
Boardmember Glassner questioned the use of skylights and Ms. Shadan said she would use a
larger skylight as the house is very dark. She noted the skylights would be shaded with baffles
and blinds and stated that her living room was barely visible from the hills above the site.
There were no public comments.
Boardmember T eiser felt the proposal w~ a modest expansion, with infill portions to the rear,
and felt the design would in character with the neighborhood. He did not believe that the garage
addition would create a tight corridor, noting that the project would not expand the entire front of
the house.
Boardmember Corcoran agreed the expansion was reasonable and similar to other projects in the
neighborhood. He appreciated the non-particulate burning fireplace and the fact that the owner
was expanding the one-car garage to a two-car garage, which would take another car off the
street.
Boardmember Glassner agreed that this was a modest and straightforward project.
Chair Doyle stated that he liked the use of carriage doors for the garage and the feel it would
give to the neighborhood.
ACTION: It was MIS (Glassner/Corcoran) that the project is exempt from the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the application subject to the
conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff report. Vote: 4-0.

The applicant has submitted a request for additions to an existing single-family dwelling. The
proposal includes a small expansion and addition to the entry foyer, addition of a fifth bedroom,
hobby room and wine room in the existing crawlspace beneath the entry, and an overall increase
in the height of the structure. The existing trusses would be replaced to modify the appearance
of the root: and to increase the ceiling height within the home. Currently the dwelling has a
mansard style roof. The replaced trusses would result in a conventional style roof A variance
for excess lot coverage and a floo! area exception are requested.
Don Baum, owner, said he has worked with staff and neighbors and hoped the structure would be
pleasing for the neighborhood.
Chris McMahon, architect, said the remodel addition was a fairly simple remodel expansion of a
1970's era house with a false mansard root: which was extremely dated. He described the
proposed roof changes and said that most of the additional floor area would be within the crawl
space on the uphill side, which would have no visual impact to the neighborhood.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Jeffrey Zalles said he lives directly behind the house and he complimented the owner and
applicant for coming up with a plan that would have a minimal effect on their views.
Tom Fall said that he had met several times with the applicant and he fully supported the project.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Glassner said the proposal was another elegant, straightforward design. He felt
the process with working with the neighbors was great.

Boardmember Teiser stated that he could support the variances and characterized the floor area
exception as minimal. He said that the design is clever and felt the applicants were very
sensitive to their neighbors' views.
Boardmember Corcoran stated that he could make the variance findingsoecause the lot is
smaller than normal and they were not. adding much lot coverage. He felt the excess floor area
was acceptable because they would be adding the space underneath the house. He also expressed
appreciation to the approach of the neighbors to the project and its minimal impacts.
Chair Doyle supported the project, stating that it was a simple design which takes advantage of
existing space under the house.

the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the application subject to the
conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff report. Vote: 4-0.
6. 19 PLACE MOULIN ALMN ALENTINO, ALTERATIONS/APPEAL
Planning Manager Watrous reviewed the appeal procedure for the Design Review Board.
Clifford AIm, appellant, described the history of the house at 19 Place Moulin and a recent tree
permit which allowed for the removal of 13 Pine trees on the site. He said that when the house
was first approved they could not see the house because the row of trees obscured it. He stated
that the removal of the trees created some privacy issues into their family room, master bedroom,
front entrance, living room, and dining room He said that they did not appeal the tree permit as
the permit required the planting of39 replacement shrubs, but now he was concerned that the
driveway expansion would not leave room to plant the shrubs. He said that he also wanted to
protect the integrity of the pedestrian easement and the ridge trail.
Mr. AIm stated that they received a call from the general contractor who worked with the
architect to make some modifications to the subject application which he felt would meet most of
their objections or at least help the situation. He described the modifications as the construction
ofa retaining wall at the edge of the ridge trail which would be topped by a 6-foot solid wood
fence, which was intended to enhance the privacy of the future owners of the house, pedestrians
using the ridge trail and the immediate neighbors. He felt the establishment of approximately 90
feet of fencing would add privacy and reduce noise and light from the house and driveway. He
said the balcony had been reduced in size and moved away from his residence, with an access
point onto the balcony eliminated.
Boardmember Glassner asked how high the retaining wall would be, and Mr. AIm felt it was
about 5-6 feet.
There was discussion by the Board regarding the need for a retaining wall and its effect on the
ridge trail and questions by Boardmembers Glassner and Teiser about the relationship of the
changes to the basis for the appeal. Planning Manager Watrous recommended the Board allow
TmURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #14

Mr. Sadrieh to explain the specifics of the proposal, noting that the retaining walls described by
Mr. AIm did not appear to be on the plans prepared by Mr. Sadrieh.
Mohamad Sadrieh, architect, said he inherited the project when the orig~al architect was unable
to continue with the project. He stated that the previously approved driveway provided an
inadequate turnaround space for the garage. He described previously approved fencing near
much of the property perimeter, which was intended to provide abetter separation between the
site and the ridge trail than just the shrubs. He stated that no retaining walls were proposed as
part of the revised plans, although some sort of landscaped berm or low (2-3 foot tall) wall might
need to be constructed adjacent to the ridge trail. He described the location of where the
replacement shrubs would be planted, noting that the removed Monterey Pines have a limited
lifespan, making the replacement planting a better long-term buffer for screening the area. He
further described the changes to the roof and deck, which were intended to address privacy
concerns. He said that the widened driveway had been moved back in so they now have a 4 foot
area which would allow enough room between the expanded driveway and the fence to plant all
previously approved materials.
Chair Doyle suggested that, in order to make a decision, the Board request elevation drawings of
the fencing and a more detailed planting plan. Planning Manager Watrous noted that staffmay
have an objection to a taller wall along the ridge trail which would create a visual tunnel effect
when it should look more like a natural hillside. He said if the Board felt comfortable with the
revised plans, it could direct staff to prepare a resolution partially granting the appeal with the
condition of approval that the revised plans supersede the old plans.
There was no other public comment.
Mr. AIm said the general contractor had come up with the idea ofa retaining wall and noted the
elevation of the garage was about 6 feet above the trail. He said he would appreciate any
approach that would address his privacy concerns, including more landscaping. He questioned
how a house of this size could have been approved. next to ~ trail used by many people and then,
during construction, how the owner could realize that there is not have enough room to get out of
the garage. He felt that the Town had approved an unworkable design with undue consideration
for neighborhood privacy and for those walking on the trail. He urged the Board to have the
applicant indicate on the site the location of the driveway, planting area, curbs and property line.
In summary, he stated that his intent was to have the design given a more thorough review, and
added that whatever is decided upon would be fine with him
Chair Doyle stated that the house design was approved in 2002 and he felt that this design would
have never been approved by the current Board.
Boardmember Teiser stated that the new plans may be appropriate, but recommended that plans
be submitted and story poles installed for the Board and the neighbors to review. He
recommended a continuance to Prepare the plans and install story poles or stakes.
Boardmember Glassner agreed, stating that he was uncomfortable with the process and unclear
about the plans. He said that it was not clear there were very firm grounds to the appeal. He said
TffiURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #14
8/16/07

that he would like to see better plans, elevations, and a planting/landscape plan, along with story
poles.
Boardmember Corcoran stated that this was not the type of house he wo_uld approve. He
acknowledged that the Board was stuck with trees that have been removed. He said he gave
great deference to Mr. Sadrieh's professional judgment, but he felt the hillside next to the trail
would need some sort of retaining wall, as it was extremely steep. He felt it was important to
know exactly where the driveway, plantings and fence would be located. He said that the
applicant needs to make sure some that the plantings and retaining wall would work. He said that
many people who use the trail, and he would be embarrassed to see a tunnel of retaining walls
next to the trail. He wanted to see better landscaping plans, including the areas next to the trail.
He noted that the terrace would look down at the front door for the home at 20 Place Moulin.
ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Glassner) to continue the matter to September 6, 2007 and
ask that the applicant provide new plans, elevations, landscaping, retaining waD plans, and
provide staking of where some of the improvements would be such as the driveway
location. Vote: 4-0-1 (Frymier absent).

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of a new two-story
single- family dwelling on property located at 490 Ridge Road. The subject property was
previously developed with a two-story single-family residence which has been demolished. The
main floor of the proposed house would include a living room, family room, kitchen, dining
room, den, one bathroom and a master bedroom suite. The lower floor would include three
bedrooms, one bathroom, a play room and a laundry room A two-car carport would be situated
near the front of the property. A trellised cabana and small enclosed bathroom would be
constructed near the location of a swimming pool to remain on the site. Eight skylights would be
installed on the roof of the house. Variances are requested for reduced side yard setback and
excess lot coverage.
Roger Hartley, project designer, said that when the project had been approved one year ago, the
owner's original desire and his charge was to preserve as much of the original structure as
TffiURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #14

possible, saving the roof and most of the upper floor. He said that three small areas were to be
added on the upper level and a larger addition was to be done on the lower level. He described
the changes made to the plans after objections were received from several neighbors. Since that
time, he said that wanted to drop the lower level down to increase the ceiling height and make
changes to the roofline. He said that there was a 3 foot difference between the old roofline and
new roofline, which was shown on the construction documents approved by the Building
Division. He said that they tried to unify the roof and simplify the design of the roof with longer.
ridges instead of having different roof pitches. He described several other minor changes to the
bathroom and windows. He said that project was approved, a building permit was issued and
they began to move forward, but demolished much of the house. He noted that Planning staff
determined that this was now a new house rather than an addition to an existing house, and this
was the reason they were before the Board today.
Boardmember Glassner questioned whether or not it was the intent to demolish the entire
structure when the project was originally approved. Mr. Hartley said it was not; as the owner
was trying to preserve everything he could for cost reasons. Planning Manager Watrous added
that the approved Design Review plans did not show the increased height or roof changes, and
since these were shown only in the building plans and not highlighted as changes, the plans were
invalid.
Mr. Hartley said there were elements of the house they could not preserve and it got to the point
where it would have cost more to keep the structure and the contractor demolished it.
Boardmember Teiser asked Mr. Hartley why he did not return with an amended plan, as the
Town has a procedure whereby if 50% or more ofa home is remodeled, it is considered new
construction. Mr. Hartley said that the project was similar to the original plan except for the
portion of the left hand ridge of the roof. He disagreed with comments in the staffreport, stating
that the project would not impact views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Boardmember Corcoran noted that the house was now demolished, and asked if it would be
possible to modify the house design to reduce the lot coverage and eliminate the need for a
variance. Mr. Hartley confrrmed with the Board that variances were requested for the side yard
setback as well as for excess lot coverage, and he agreed the house could be made smaller.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Richard Dwyer stated that he owns the house at 500 Ridge Road which is adjacent to the subject
property and would be most affected by the house. He noted that he had previously agreed to the
changes approved by the Board, but was overwhelmed with the new story poles and the impact it
would have on his view. He said the house felt like it would be right on top of his home. He
said that the requested side yard setback would place the house only 13 feet away from his
property line. He said that the 3 foot added height was overwhelming and was the reason for his
objection. He noted that in the past, the deck went around the home and the house was lower. He
confirmed that he did not object to the previous setback variance, but now he was objecting to
the combination of the increased height and reduced setback. Responding to a question from
TIBURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #14
8/16/07
10
Boardmember Teiser, Mr. Dwyer agreed that he would not have an issue with the setback if the
roof were lowered.
Boardmember Corcoran asked Mr. Dwyer if trees do not obscure his views of the water and the
bridge, which Mr. Dwyer confirmed. -
Pam Peterson described photos that she had submitted to staff showing her view across the
proposed house. She stated that the trees beyond 490 Ridge Road have grown into, the view of
the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and are likely to be trimmed in the future. She said
that once the trees are trimmed, the proposed house would be more visible and could interfere
with her views. She felt that the roof changes would affect a big swath of water view, which
would be even bigger once the trees are trimmed. She said that she had no problem with the
original plan, and requested that the house be lowered and brought back toward the road.
Mr. Hartley stated that photographs of the old house indicate that Ms. Peterson's view of the roof
has not changed other than a difference of 4" for the insulation. He felt that the 3 foot height
change would affect only a very small amount of water view and would have no effect on the
Golden Gate Bridge view.
Boardmember Glassner asked Mr. Hartley to identify the proposed skylights and assess their
impacts. Mr. Hartley said they had not made any changes to the already approved and existing
skylights, and described changes made to the skylights during the review of the previous
application.
Chair Doyle asked why the owner wanted to change what was approved when everyone was
happy with the previous design. Mr. Hartley said the changes had to do with working out the
details of construction and the change in height came from a desire to clean up the rooflines.
Boardmember Corcoran asked if the clerestory windows would have to be removed if the roof
were lowered 3 feet. Mr. Hartley said it would be an iriconvenience and described the changes in
roof pitch.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Glassner stated that the project was significantly different. He said that the
project before was not a new house, and that while there might have been some buy-in from the
neighbors before, now there are significant issues for the neighbors. He said that he was not
comfortable with the scale or the process of the project and felt there was a lot more work to be
done.
Boardmember Corcoran stated that the house would not block views of actual bridge, but of
water beneath the bridge, which was still important. He said that the 3 foot roof height increase
would have too much of an impact and could not be justified. He suggested continuing the item
to allow the architect to work out a compromise, adding that dramatic changes had been made
which were too much for the neighbors.
TffiURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #14
8/16/07

Boardmember Glassner said given the fact that the project has gone from a major renovation to
demolishing and rebuilding the home, he requested a landscaping plan be done for the property
that would enhance views rather than create further issues.
-
Boardmember T eiser stated that this was a new project, and he felt the applicant can start fresh.
He stated that the applicant chose not to stay with the original approved drawings, and should
therefore would work with the neighbors and consider alternative designs. He said that the
application should be continued for a new look at the design
Chair Doyle stated that he was always surprised when demolition like this occurs, as contractors
know better than to simply start tearing structures down, and he felt this was rude. He said that
the applicant could now look at new plans for a new house, with roof changes that would not
block views. He felt there was an opportunity for the applicant to do it right and not impinge on
the neighbors.

It's "make or break" time for ACA 8 (De La Torre), the League sponsored eminent Jfs(;~ oj:''<;c
domain reform constitutional amendment. It will be voted on as early as Tuesday, v4' ~
September 4 by the entire Assembly.

This weekend is the time-while they are home today and over the Labor Day
weekend-to contact your Assembly Member to urQe a IIYes" vote on ACA 8. Phone
calls or in-person meetings with your legislators are most effective.
This bill requires a two-thirds vote, meaning that Republican votes are needed for
passage (in addition to Democrats). There are several Republican Assembly Members
who want to vote for the reasonable eminent domain reforms in ACA 8, but they need to
know that they have the support of their constituents. If you are represented by a
Republican Assembly Member, it is particularly important he or she hear from you.
New Amendments This Week
This measure was amended this to prohibit the taking of churches (places of worship)
and owner-occupied duplexes by eminent domain for transfer to private owners. The
church amendment in particular is important to gaining Republican support. Therefore,
as amended. the proposed constitutional amendment does the following:
· ACA 8 prohibits the use of eminent domain to acquire an owner-occupied
home (including townhomes, condos and duplexes) for transfer to another private
party.
· ACA 8 prohibits the use of eminent domain to acquire a church/place of
worship to transfer to another private party. Churches or houses of worship
are defined as all real property used exclusively by the owner for religious worship
if the property qualifies for tax exemption under the state constitution for houses of
, religious worship.
· ACA 8 prohibits government from using eminent domain to acquire a small
business for transfer to another private party unless the small business is in a
redevelopment project area and first offered an opportunity to participate in the
redevelopment project. If that is not practical, it must be offered improved
relocation benefits (under AS 887) or fair market value of the business and
property.
· ACA 8 requires a home or small business property acquired by eminent
domain to be offered for resale to the original owner if the government does
not use the property for a public use.
These provisions have been also been summarized in a D!.{~.~UX_..t(.?Lr.n.

The followina are Doints to make when talkina to your leaislator:
· ACA 8 was amended to prohibit the use of eminent domain to take churches for
conveyance to another private party.
· As amended, ACA 8 now contains strong constitutional prorubitions against using
eminent domain to take homes, small businesses, and churches to convey to a
private party.
· Legislators should pass ACA 8 THIS YEAR and prove to the voters that they have
finally acted to protect homes, small businesses and churches from eminent
domain.
· The measure responds directly to public fears caused by the Supreme Court's
unpopular decision in Kelo v. New London without extraneous provisions that will
hurt local communities.
· ACA 8 is the best and most responsible reform measure under consideration.
The companion statutory measure, AB 887 (De La Torre), provides enhanced
protections and benefits for small business owners facing condemnation. Currently, AB
887 is waiting for a vote on the Senate Floor. If it passes, it will have to go back to the
Assembly for concurrence. A majority vote and the Governor's signature are required for
AS 887's passage.
