Electricity has been the dominant topic at the state Capitol for months and threatens to overshadow every other issue facing lawmakers in 2001. Still, legislators introduced hundreds of bills related to land use prior to the late-February deadline, including approximately 150 housing bills.Other land use bills would tinker with the California Environmental Quality Act, lower the hurdle for a redevelopment agency to prove "blight," require a finding of adequate water supplies for projects of at least 200 housing units, and require the Governors Office of Planning and Research to prepare a "State Comprehensive Plan."
