2005 California Government Code Sections 65960-65963.1 Article 6. Development Permits for Classes of Projects ...

65960.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if any person
applies for approval of a geothermal field development project, then
only one permit from the lead agency and one permit from each
responsible agency shall be required for all drilling, construction,
operation, and maintenance activities required during the course of
the productive life of the project, including, but not limited to,
the drilling of makeup wells, redrills, well cleanouts, pipeline
hookups, or any other activity necessary to the continued supply of
geothermal steam to a powerplant.  The lead agency and each
responsible agency may approve such permits for less than full field
development if the applicant submits such an application.  Such
permits shall include (1) any conditions or stipulations deemed
necessary by the lead or responsible agency, including appropriate
mitigation measures within the statutory jurisdiction of such agency,
and (2) a monitoring program capable of assuring the permittee's
conformance with all such conditions or stipulations.  This section
shall not apply to any permit whose issuance is a ministerial act by
the permitting agency.
65961.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon approval or
conditional approval of a tentative map for a subdivision of single-
or multiple-family residential units, or upon recordation of a
parcel map for such a subdivision for which no tentative map was
required, during the five year period following recordation of the
final map or parcel map for the subdivision, a city, county, or city
and county shall not require as a condition to the issuance of any
building permit or equivalent permit for such single- or
multiple-family residential units, conformance with or the
performance of any conditions that the city or county could have
lawfully imposed as a condition to the previously approved tentative
or parcel map.  Nor shall a city, county, or city and county withhold
or refuse to issue a building permit or equivalent permit for
failure to conform with or perform any conditions that the city,
county, or city and county could have lawfully imposed as a condition
to the previously approved tentative or parcel map.  However, the
provisions of this section shall not prohibit a city, county, or city
and county from doing any of the following:
   (a) Imposing conditions or requirements upon the issuance of a
building permit or equivalent permit which could have been lawfully
imposed as a condition to the approval of a tentative or parcel map
if the local agency finds it necessary to impose the condition or
requirement for any of the following reasons:
   (1) A failure to do so would place the residents of the
subdivision or of the immediate community, or both, in a condition
perilous to their health or safety, or both.
   (2) The condition is required in order to comply with state or
federal law.
   (b) Withholding or refusing to issue a building permit or
equivalent permit if the local agency finds it is required to do so
in order to comply with state or federal law.
   (c) Assuring compliance with the applicable zoning ordinance.
   (d) This section shall also apply to a city or city and county
which incorporates on or after January 1, 1985, and which includes
within its boundaries any areas included in the tentative or parcel
map described in this section.
   When the incorporation includes areas included in the tentative or
parcel map described in this section, "a condition that the city
could have lawfully imposed as a condition to the previously approved
tentative or parcel map," as used in this section, refers to
conditions the county could have imposed had there been no
incorporation.

compile and update as appropriate, but at least annually, and shall

   (d) The local enforcement agency, as designated pursuant to

shall be available to any person who requests the information.
   (e) The Secretary for Environmental Protection shall consolidate
the information submitted pursuant to this section and distribute it
in a timely fashion to each city and county in which sites on the
lists are located.  The secretary shall distribute the information to
any other person upon request.  The secretary may charge a
reasonable fee to persons requesting the information, other than
cities, counties, or cities and counties, to cover the cost of
developing, maintaining, and reproducing and distributing the
information.
   (f) Before a lead agency accepts as complete an application for
any development project which will be used by any person, the
applicant shall consult the lists sent to the appropriate city or
county and shall submit a signed statement to the local agency
indicating whether the project and any alternatives are located on a
