HALTS HOUSING

Much needed housing projects and infrastructure improvements in designated development areas are reliant on warehousing projects. A de facto ban on warehouses will worsen California's housing crisis.

JOB KILLER

The bill kills warehouse, logistics, and construction related jobs and requires workers to travel much farther to jobs.

SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION

AB 1000 will disrupt California's ability to effectively and efficiently move goods to where they are needed. The bill breaks an essential link in the state’s supply chain, increasing truck travel and making goods more expensive for no actual environmental benefit.

ECONOMIC RELOCATION & INCREASED GHG

The ports are not moving – but this bill will push warehouses into more rural areas in Eastern California or out of state. This will increase particulate pollution, vehicle miles travelled, and greenhouse gas emissions of both the goods movement sector and workers.

SYNOPSIS

• AB 1000 applies statewide to buildings over 100,000 s.f. used for logistics or warehousing.
  
  
• New amendments change how a buffer zone is measured to measure from property line of the logistics use center to property line of the sensitive receptor. 

• The bill includes a 1,000-foot buffer that drops back to 500 feet if ZEV mitigations and met. (these mitigations are unattainable)

• AB 1000 includes a broad definition of sensitive receptors. This includes residential, daycare, schools, health care, community center, places of worship, places of incarceration, and playfields.
