According to the Urban Land Institute (ULI), “Cities in California could be more sustainable–both economically and environmentally–if the state wisely implements SB 375, a law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and auto dependency.” This was among the findings in the SB 375 Impact Analysis Report, released today by ULI.
According to the report, the law has the potential to make a positive change in the growth patterns of California’s urban regions. “If implemented well, SB 375 would help California accommodate growth in ways that are economically sound, environmentally responsible, and socially beneficial,” the report says.
The overarching anticipated benefit of SB 375 is its ability to provide more consistency, coordination, and clarity to the development process, which the land use industry needs to start recovering from the recession, the report says. It points to several benefits that SB 375 can bring through thoughtful implementation.
The report also offers several recommendations to maximize the effectiveness of SB 375 as a productive guide for development that benefits California’s communities.
