Oh, and how do you like Anna Caballero as your state assemblyman? (I might guess your answer.)
Anything new on the KeeleyWatch front???
LOL, she's not. I've got Laird.
Need I characterize?
As to Keeley, right now I've got other fish I'm frying. The County of Santa Cruz has proposed a new ordinance:
Santa Cruz, CA The County Planning Director is trying to get an ordinance passed regarding habitable and non-habitable accessory structures. The ordinance requires a property owner to have deed restrictions recorded against his or her property and periodic inspections to make sure the property owner is "in compliance." This allows a County employee to enter land or a dwelling without reasonable cause to proactively inspect to see if a provision of the local code has been violated. It is in direct conflict with the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution (against warrantless searches) and the California Code of Civil Procedure 1822.50 which allows a search warrant to be issued after permission to inspect has been sought and refused.
In the Planning Commission agenda Item #9 for October 24, 2007, the word "enforcement" appears 32 times. The Planning Commission unanimously voted for this proposed ordinance calling it "Permit Reform." This will be coming before the County Board of Supervisors for a vote on Dec. 4, 2007.
