Summary

The bill says that a project's increased building height will not be treated as a significant environmental impact under CEQA if the project is on a previously graded infill site, has already been analyzed for use and density, contains no sensitive biological resources, is not an industrial use, and, for very large projects, creates high‑wage, prevailing‑wage jobs. It directs local lead agencies to apply this rule and removes any state obligation to reimburse local costs for the program.
