NAIOP SoCal-Sponsored Bill Clears CA Senate in Unanimous Vote

In an historic achievement for NAIOP SoCal, the California State Senate unanimously passed Assembly Bill 2904, which aims to provide greater transparency in the zoning change process. It represents the first time in the association’s history that NAIOP SoCal has sponsored a bill and successfully guided it through the state legislative process. 

AB 2904, authored by Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-67), doubles the number of days a municipality has to notify property owners of a pending zoning change. NAIOP SoCal’s Senior Consultant for Government and Political Affairs, José Cornejo, played a pivotal role in navigating the bill through the complexities of the legislative process.

“We are incredibly proud of the passage of AB 2904,” said Timothy Jemal, CEO, NAIOP SoCal. “This historic achievement demonstrates our deep commitment to building bipartisan relationships while advocating for policies that support the commercial real estate industry and contribute to California’s economic growth. This effort is paying off.”
