§ 17533 School Lease Zoning Compliance

• •Schools can rent out parts of their buildings for things that aren't school-related, like a community center or a store.
• •The city or county can make the school follow local rules, like building codes or safety rules, when they rent out the space.
• •This law helps make sure that even if a school rents out space, it’s still safe and follows the same rules as other buildings.

A school wants to rent out its empty gym to a local business for a warehouse.

The city can tell the school that the gym must follow the same safety rules as any other warehouse, like having fire exits and proper lighting.
