“California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday signed a law to limit new warehouses from being built close to homes, schools and hospitals. Newsom’s signing aims to curb pollution from warehouses by imposing minimum distances between facilities and sensitive sites. The law requires new or expanded warehouses’ loading docks to be 300-500 feet from neighbors’ property lines, depending on a neighborhood’s zoning. The law applies statewide but is aimed at addressing development in California’s Inland Empire, east of Los Angeles and home to some of the worst air pollution in the country, as well as other regions of Southern California where the logistics industry is growing, like Kern County.” (09/30/24)
