Air District Releases Final Land-Use Planning Guidance Document
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District released the final version of its guidance document titled Planning Healthy Places.  The District describes the document as a guidebook for addressing local sources of air pollutants in community planning (i.e., issues related to siting residential development near "sources" of existing air pollutants such as major roadways), with the purpose "to encourage local governments to address and minimize potential air quality issues in the land use planning process, and to provide technical tools to assist them in doing so."

Court Halts Level III Fee Trigger
CBIA successfully obtained a court order late Thursday that bars the California State Allocation Board and all others acting in concert with the SAB from implementing Level 3 school impact fees or sending notice to the Legislature that state funds for new school construction are not available. This order temporarily halts the ability of school districts statewide to go to Level 3. The Sacramento Superior Court set a hearing date for July 1, 2016, when it will decide whether or not to extend the injunction until CBIA's litigation on the issue has been resolved. Full Story
