Action Alert: SB 50 Threatens Historic Neighborhoods

Previously on hold, Senate Bill 50 (SB 50) is back and will be the first item of business on the California Senate floor tomorrow (Wednesday, January 29). Please call or email your representative today and tomorrow morning and press for adequate preservation safeguards to be added to the legislation.

Why Is SB 50 Bad for Historic Preservation?

SB 50 is a proposed state-wide bill that is intended to increase density and streamline the production of multi-family housing development in California. If passed, SB 50 would override local land use restrictions, allowing multi-family buildings to go up near “high quality” train and bus stops. This will also undoubtedly result in the demolition of important historic buildings and damage the livability of existing and future historic districts.

SB 50 is currently the most pressing threat to L.A.'s historic places. It poses a significant and immediate threat to older and historic neighborhoods by circumventing local planning laws, and by exempting parts of development projects from discretionary review, including some local historic districts/HPOZs.

While the intent of providing more housing may be good, we believe the bill and its approach is highly problematic as currently written. It poses a one-size-fits-all solution and a blunt, statewide fix that would outstrip local authority and planning.

As part of a statewide coalition of preservation organizations, the Conservancy is requesting amendments to SB 50 to ensure adequate preservation safeguards are added to the legislation. There were amendments to the bill's language earlier this month, but there were no substantive changes that address our outstanding preservation concerns. For this reason, the Conservancy, as part of the statewide coalition of preservation organizations, has come out in opposition of SB 50 unless amended.

Preservation and density are not mutually exclusive, or an either/or choice. We believe there can be a healthy balance with thoughtful planning. We want to ensure that the revised bill language will not impose a one-size-fits-all approach and unnecessarily harm California’s unique historic resources and neighborhoods.

If passed without adequate safeguards, this legislation threatens L.A.'s older and historic neighborhoods, and we need your help.

How You Can Help

SB 50 legislation is moving quickly. SB 50 will be the first item of business on the Senate Floor tomorrow (Wednesday, January 29), at 11 a.m.

Please contact your State Senate representative today (find your representative here) and urge them to include adequate safeguards for preservation in this bill.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza speaks in defense of Beyoncé : 

“For me it's clear Beyoncé sees herself as a part of the movement for black lives, and believes that black lives matter — and ultimately, that's what matters. How do I know? Because in a little under five minutes, Bey told us who her people are, how that makes her who she is, and that she could care less about conspiracy theories about her man being part of the illuminati, or what you think about her daughter's natural hair.”

I'm watching this replay of SB 50 and Peyton just threw that interception. I yelled at the screen like he had just lost the Super Bowl for us.
