Composting facilities: zoning.

Summary

The bill directs the Office of Planning and Research, Land Use and Climate Innovation to create and post a technical advisory on best practices for locating composting facilities by June 1 2027. After the advisory is posted, any city or county that revises its land‑use element after Jan 1 2029 must use the advisory’s sample goals, policies and model ordinance to identify where composting sites may be allowed. The measure aims to help California meet its organic‑waste reduction targets without requiring state reimbursement to local agencies.
