Comment Letters and Input Opportunities

The California Climate & Energy Collaborative (CCEC) is committed to working with state agencies to ensure that the programs they develop and administer are shaped and informed by the needs of local governments. Utilizing our deeply connected and highly engaged statewide network of local government staff, technical experts, and climate practitioners, as well as our regular engagement points such as our monthly Local Energy Resources Network (LERN) Meetings, Quarterly State/ Local Energy & Climate Coordination (SLECC) Meetings, and Annual CCEC Forum, we work to gather input from local government representatives and communicate their priorities as they relate to upcoming state-administered programs. To advance this effort, CCEC has submitted comment letters synthesizing our network’s valuable perspectives.

As we continue our work engaging state agencies and their partners, we will highlight the active opportunities for the CCEC network to provide input on upcoming state programs. See further down for previously submitted comment letters on relevant opportunities from state-agencies.

If you are aware of another opportunity to provide input that should be showcased on this page, please email eecoordinator@civicwell.org.

Request for Information to Streamline Infill Housing Development Across State

Application Status: Past

Deadline: Past : Dec 31, 2024

In response to Governor Newsom’s executive order (N-2-24), which works to accelerate and streamline building housing on unused and underutilized infill sites, the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) has released a Request for Information (RFI). The RFI seeks public input on potential processes, permits, and other administrative actions that can be adjusted to create more flexibility and lower costs of infill housing. The SGC encourages responses from a wide range of individuals, including researchers, practitioners, developers, financial institutions, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, tribes, and others with experience or expertise in infill development or adaptive reuse.
