(a) The county board of supervisors shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and adopt in a public hearing a master site plan for county detention facilities prior to the award of funds by the Board of Corrections. Siting of facilities in compliance with this plan is mandatory only for those projects funded pursuant to Penal Code sections 4475 through 4497.56. In developing the plan, the county shall document and consider the following:

(1) alternatives to additional detention facilities;

(2) specific concerns of incorporated cities and other community representatives;

(3) the location of existing federal, state and local adult and juvenile detention facilities/institutions in order to avoid over concentration of inmates in one geographic area of the county; and,

(4) siting and expansion of county detention facilities based on a 20-year period. These projections should analyze the number of inmates and security levels as well as geographic location.

(b) The Board may exempt a county from this requirement if the master site plan remains unchanged from that approved under the provision of the County Correctional Facility Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1986.
