State California GC Sec 66650-66661 THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY PLAN AND FURTHER REPORTS OF THE COMMISSION GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66650-66661 66650. This title shall be known and may be cited as the McAteer-Petris Act. 66651. Pursuant to this title the commission has adopted and submitted to the Governor and the Legislature the San Francisco Bay Plan, a comprehensive plan containing statements and maps concerning the following: (a) The summary and objectives of the plan. (b) The bay, as a resource, including findings and policies upon: fish and wildlife; water quality; smog and weather; water surface, area, and volume; marshes and mudflats; fresh water inflow; dredging; and shell deposits. (c) The development of the bay and shoreline, including findings and policies upon: economic and population growth; safety of fills; water-related industries; ports; commercial fishing; airports; recreation; saltponds and other managed wetlands; transportation; other uses of the bay and shoreline; refuse disposal sites; public access; appearance, design, and scenic views. (d) The implementation provisions in the section on carrying out the plan. This plan and any amendments thereto shall constitute the plan for the commission to use to establish policies for reviewing and acting on projects until otherwise ordered by the Legislature. The plan may contain or incorporate by reference special area plans with more specific findings and policies for portions of the bay and its shoreline and other plans addressing special needs, such as seaports. Any change to the plan shall be made exclusively in accordance with the procedures described in Section 66652 and any regulations the commission may adopt to implement Section 66652. 66652. The commission at any time may amend, or repeal and adopt a new form of, all or any part of the San Francisco Bay Plan but such changes shall be consistent with the findings and declarations of policy contained in this title. Such changes shall be made by resolution of the commission adopted after public hearing on the proposed change, of which adequate descriptive notice shall be given. If the proposed change pertains to a policy or standard contained in the San Francisco Bay Plan, or defines a water-oriented use referred to in Section 66602 or 66605, the resolution adopting the change shall not be voted upon less than 90 days following notice of hearing on the proposed change and shall require the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the commission members. If the proposed change pertains only to a map or diagram contained in the San Francisco Bay Plan, the resolution adopting the change shall not be voted on less than 30 days following notice of hearing on the proposed change, except that changes proposed under Section 66611 shall not be voted on less than 90 days following such notice, and shall, except as provided by Section 66611, require the affirmative vote of the majority of the commission members. 66653. If a function or activity is within the area of the commission's jurisdiction and requires the securing of a permit, the commission shall exercise its power to grant or deny a permit in conformity with the provisions of this title and with any provisions of the plan pertaining to placing of fill, extraction of materials, construction methods and use or change of use of water areas, land or structures. If a function or activity is outside the area of the commission's jurisdiction or does not require the issuance of a permit, any provisions of the plan pertaining thereto are advisory only. 66654. Within the area of the commission's jurisdiction under subdivisions (b), (c) and (d) of Section 66610, any uses which are in existence on the effective date of this section may be continued, provided, that no substantial change shall be made in such uses except in accordance with this title. Any owner of property devoted to an existing use or uses may file an application with the commission to determine the nature of such existing use or uses, the extent of territory then devoted to such use or uses, and such additional territory adjacent thereto as may be expected to be reasonably necessary for the expansion of such use or uses during a period of not to exceed 15 years from the date of filing such application. Not later than 90 days after such filing, the commission after public hearing shall adopt a resolution making such determination. After the adoption of such resolution no permit need be obtained from the commission for any of the existing use or uses specifed in the resolution or for the expansion thereof within the territory described in said resolution. 66655. If, prior to September 1, 1969, any city or county has adopted an ordinance or issued a permit authorizing a particular use or uses within the areas defined in subdivisions (b), (c) and (d) of Section 66610, no person who has obtained a vested right thereunder shall be required to secure a permit from the commission, providing, that no substantial changes may be made in any such use or uses, except in accordance with this title. Any such person shall be deemed to have such vested rights if, prior to September 1, 1969, he has in good faith and in reliance upon the ordinance or permit commenced and performed substantial work on the use or uses authorized and incurred substantial liabilities for work and materials necessary therefor. Expenses incurred in obtaining the enactment of an ordinance or the issuance of a permit shall not be deemed liabilities for work or material. 66656. (a) Any person claiming an exemption from the permit requirements of Section 66632 for placement of fill within the area of the commission's jurisdiction under subdivisions (a), (c), and (d) of Section 66610 after January 1, 1974, through reliance upon Section 66632.1 or 66655 shall, within 90 days after January 1, 1974, notify the commission by filing a claim of exemption with the commission. Failure of any person to file a claim of exemption within such time shall subject such activity of such person within such area of the commission's jurisdiction to the permit requirements of this act. (b) The commission shall, by regulation, establish procedures, including public hearings, for determining claims of exemption and may require documentation, including declarations under penalty of perjury or affidavits, to support any claim of exemption. (c) The commission shall take reasonable steps to notify persons of this section, but the failure of any person to receive such notice shall not extend the period within which a claim of exemption is required to be filed under this section. (d) This section shall not apply either to any person who has received a written determination by or on behalf of the commission prior to January 1, 1974, that a specific project is exempt from the provisions of this act or to any person who is a party to a written agreement with the commission relating to a claim of exemption. 66657. In eminent domain or inverse condemnation proceedings for any property within the area of the commission's jurisdiction, in determining "just compensation," as used in Section 19 of Article I of the California Constitution, or the compensation provided in Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 1263.010) and Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 1265.010) of Title 7 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the influence of the San Francisco Bay Plan, in effect at the time of the taking or damaging of the property, upon the value of the property or the interest being valued shall be inadmissible as evidence and not a proper basis for an opinion as to the value of the property. 66658. Until the termination of the existence of the commission, it shall have all powers and duties prescribed by Chapters 1 (commencing with Section 66600) to 4 (commencing with Section 66630), inclusive, of this title including, without limitation, the power to continue or make further studies authorized thereby. 66659. The commission shall continue in existence until such time as the Legislature provides for the termination of the existence of the commission or for the transfer of the commission's functions and duties to some other permanent agency. 66660. The commission shall make a supplemental report, or reports, containing all of the following: (a) The results of any continued or further studies made by the commission; (b) Such other information and recommendations as the commission deems desirable. 66660.1. Notwithstanding any provision of this title to the contrary, the jurisdiction of the commission, except for the control of fill or extraction of materials shall not include the shoreline within a city limit upon which any person or entity has commenced and performed substantial work for the purpose of establishing a planned community development on land already filled and requiring no additional fill or extraction, and for which the planning commission approval of the city council has been obtained prior to July 1, 1969. 66661. The commission shall annually file a supplemental report with the Governor and the Legislature by the fifth legislative day of each regular session of the Legislature commencing not later than the 1971 Regular Session.
