Employee Housing Act: agricultural land use.

The Employee Housing Act requires a person operating employee housing to obtain a permit to operate that housing from the agency that enforces the act, which can either be the Department of Housing and Community Development or a city, county, or city and county that assumes responsibility for enforcing the act. The act designates any employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units of spaces designed for use by a single family or household as an agricultural land use, and exempts that housing from specified land use regulations of a local government and specified taxes and fees. This bill would designate as an agricultural land use any employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters, 12 units or spaces designed for use by single families or households, or 48 units or spaces operated by a governmental or nonprofit agency and designed for use by single families or households.
