62nd District Assembly Member Wilmer Amina Carter has introduced Assembly Bill No. 1077. This bill would add section 5006.10 to the Public Resources Code and would read:
(a) A person shall not develop any of the area within two-and-one-half miles of the boundary of Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park in Tulare County in a manner that would be incompatible with the historic or recreational significance of the park.
(b) This section does not apply to a development in Tulare County that was approved by the county on or before March 1, 2011.
You can read the complete bill on the California Legislature website.
In a March 31, 2011 story in The Press-Enterprise reporter Jim Miller called the bill “far-flung”, he went on to criticize Assemblywoman Carter because the park is more than 200 miles from her district.
This is the third time that Assemblywoman Carter has introduced a bill to prohibit development next to Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. She introduced the first bill in 2007 during the battle over the two dairies that were scheduled to be built next to the park. She withdrew the bill after the dairy project was canceled. Last year she introduced Assembly Bill 2356, and then withdrew it because it could have affected the construction the California High Speed Rail.
Assembly Bill No. 1077 first committee hearing is April 26, 2011.
Stephen Hill, Sr.
