Gov. Gavin Newsom's potential decision on a recently passed bill could significantly impact industrial developers in California by requiring buffer zones between warehouses and residential areas.
The bill aims to create several hundred feet of buffer space between new warehouse developments and residential neighborhoods, restricting development largely to major thoroughfares.
Legislators Eloise Gomez Reyes and Juan Carrillo argue the bill is essential for protecting constituents living close to logistics centers against negative externalities.
Business groups have voiced concerns that the legislation could be detrimental to the economy by making California less inviting for industrial development and possibly leading to job losses.
