The Legislature reaffirms its finding that the disposition of surplus property owned by public agencies should be utilized to further state policies.

The Legislature reaffirms its finding that there exists within the urban and rural areas of the state a serious shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary housing which persons and families of low or moderate income can afford, and consequently a pressing and urgent need for the preservation and expansion of the low- and moderate-income housing supply. The Legislature further reaffirms its finding that highway and other state activities have contributed to the severe shortage of such housing. The Legislature reaffirms that the provision of decent housing for all Californians is a state goal of the highest priority. The Legislature finds and declares that actions of state agencies including the sales of surplus residential properties which result in the loss of decent and affordable housing for persons and families of low or moderate income is contrary to state housing, urban development, and environmental policies and is a significant environmental effect, within the meaning of Article XIX of the California Constitution, which will be mitigated by the sale of surplus residential property pursuant to the provisions of this article.

The Legislature further finds and declares that the displacement of large numbers of persons as a result of the sale of surplus residential property owned by agencies of the state is a significant environmental effect, within the meaning of Article XIX of the California Constitution which will be mitigated by sale of such properties pursuant to the provisions of this article.

The Legislature further finds and declares that the sale of surplus residential property pursuant to the provisions of this article will directly serve an important public purpose. Wherefore, the Legislature intends by this article to preserve, upgrade and expand the supply of housing available to persons and families of low or moderate income. The Legislature further intends by this article to mitigate the environmental effects, within the meaning of Article XIX, of the California Constitution, caused by highway activities.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 11011.1, an agency of the state disposing of surplus residential property shall do so in accordance with the following priorities and procedures:

(1) First, all single-family residences presently occupied by their former owners shall be offered to those former owners at the appraised fair market value.

(2) Second, all single-family residences shall be offered, pursuant to this article, to their present occupants who have occupied the property for two years or more and who are persons and families of low or moderate income.

(3) Third, all single-family residences shall be offered, pursuant to this article, to their present occupants who have occupied the property for five years or more and whose household income does not exceed 150 percent of the area median income.

(4) Fourth, a single-family residence shall not be offered, pursuant to this article, to present occupants who are not the former owners of the property if the present occupants have had an ownership interest in real property in the last three years.

(b) Single-family residences offered to their present occupants pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a) shall be offered to those present occupants at an affordable price. The price shall not be less than the price paid by the agency for original acquisition, unless the acquisition price was greater than the current fair market value, and shall not be greater than fair market value. When a single-family residence is offered to present occupants at a price that is less than fair market value, the selling agency shall impose terms, conditions, and restrictions to ensure that the housing will remain available to persons and families of low or moderate income and households with incomes no greater than the incomes of the present occupants in proportion to the area median income. The Department of Housing and Community Development shall provide to the selling agency recommendations of standards and criteria for these prices, terms, conditions, and restrictions. The selling agency shall provide repairs required by lenders and government housing assistance programs, or, at the option of the agency, provide the present occupants with a replacement dwelling pursuant to Section 54237.5.

(c) If single-family residences are offered to their present occupants pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a), the occupants shall certify their income and assets to the selling agency.

(A) Except as required by subparagraph (B), the property shall be offered to a housing-related private or public entity at a reasonable price, which is best suited to economically feasible use of the property as decent, safe, and sanitary housing at affordable rents and affordable prices for persons and families of low or moderate income, on the condition that the purchasing entity shall cause the property to be rehabilitated and used as follows:

(i) If the housing-related entity is a public entity, the entity shall dedicate profits realized from a subsequent sale, as specified in subdivision (b) of Section 54237.7, to the construction of affordable housing within the Cities of Pasadena, South Pasadena, Alhambra, La Cañada Flintridge, and the 90032 postal ZIP Code.

(ii) If the entity is a private housing-related entity or a housing-related public entity, the entity shall cause the property to be developed as limited equity cooperative housing with first right of occupancy to present occupants, except that where the development of cooperative or cooperatives is not feasible, the purchasing entity shall cause the property to be used for low- and moderate-income rental or owner-occupied housing, with first right of occupancy to the present tenants. The price of the property in no case shall be less than the price paid by the entity for original acquisition unless the acquisition price was greater than current fair market value and shall not be greater than fair market value. Subject to the foregoing, it shall be set at the level necessary to provide housing at affordable rents and affordable prices for present tenants and persons and families of low or moderate income. When residential property is offered at a price that is less than fair market value, the selling agency shall impose terms, conditions, and restrictions that will ensure that the housing will remain available to persons and families of low or moderate income. The Department of Housing and Community Development shall provide to the selling agency recommendations of standards and criteria for prices, terms, conditions, and restrictions.

(e) A surplus residential property not sold pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, or Section 54239.1, 54239.5, or 54239.6, as applicable, shall then be sold at fair market value, with priority given first to purchasers who are present tenants in good standing with all rent obligations current and paid in full, second to former tenants who were in good standing at the time they vacated the premises, with priority given to the most recent tenants first, and then to purchasers who will be owner occupants. The selling agency may commence the sale of property that former tenants may possess a right to purchase as provided by this subdivision 30 days after the selling agency has done both of the following:

(b) If the project is subject to subdivision (a), then for those portions of the project that are not a public work all of the following shall apply:

(1) The housing-related entity shall ensure that the prevailing wage requirement is included in all contracts for the performance of all construction work.

(2) All contractors and subcontractors shall pay to all construction workers employed in the execution of the work at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, except that apprentices registered in programs approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may be paid at least the applicable apprentice prevailing rate.

article: 8.5. Surplus Residential Property


text:
Notwithstanding subdivision (d) of Section 54237, after a surplus residential property located within the City of South Pasadena is offered for sale pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 54237, the surplus residential property shall be offered for sale in accordance with all of the following priorities and procedures:

(a) After the surplus residential property is offered for sale pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 54237, these properties shall then be offered at fair market value to present tenants who have occupied the property for five years or more and who are in good standing with all rent obligations current and paid in full, with first right of occupancy to the present tenants.

(b) After the surplus residential property is offered for sale pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 54237 and subdivision (a) of this section, and if the property is not occupied by tenants, the property shall be offered to the City of South Pasadena subject to all of the following:

(1) The sales price shall be the price paid by the Department of Transportation for original acquisition. The original acquisition price shall not be adjusted for inflation.

(2) Surplus residential property sold pursuant to this subdivision shall be sold in its existing “as is” condition.

(3) The City of South Pasadena shall, with the proceeds generated from the subsequent sale of unoccupied homes, finance the production or acquisition of affordable housing units. Units produced must have a regulatory agreement requiring an affordable sales price or an affordable rent, as defined in Sections 50052.5 and 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, for a minimum of 55 years for rental and 45 years for owner-occupied affordable housing. Units acquired must have a regulatory agreement requiring an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, for a minimum of 55 years for rental. Proceeds may be used to finance either or both of the following:

(A) The production of three housing units affordable to persons and families of very low, low and moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, for every unoccupied home purchased by the City of South Pasadena.

(B) The acquisition of three existing units for use as rental housing affordable to persons and families of very low, low, and moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, for every unoccupied home purchased by the City of South Pasadena.

(4) (A) Prior to closing escrow on the purchase of the surplus residential property from the Department of Transportation, the City of South Pasadena shall demonstrate to the Department of Housing and Community Development the zoned capacity on parcels suitable for housing development to produce at least three affordable units, as defined in paragraph (3), for each housing unit of the surplus residential property being purchased and identify and analyze potential and actual governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing affordable to persons and families of low income, including housing for people with disabilities, on said parcels to the satisfaction of the Department of Housing and Community Development. The analysis must also demonstrate local efforts to remove constraints that hinder development of the parcels and evaluate their impact on the speed of delivery and depth of affordability of the necessary affordable units prescribed in paragraph (3).

(B) Any parcel used for the development of these units shall be granted streamlined, ministerial approval and not be subject to a conditional use permit or other nonlegislative discretionary approval, and shall be exempt from any initiative or other measure that may preclude achieving maximum densities, including, but not limited to, any height restriction requirement. The Legislature finds and declares that, in light of the shortage of affordable housing in the state, facilitating the development of affordable housing as provided in this subparagraph is necessary to support the development and speed of delivery and the depth of affordability of the necessary affordable units prescribed in paragraph (3), as well as the sale of surplus residential properties to the City of South Pasadena by the Department of Transportation.

(5) Units may be produced or acquired on a single site, or on multiple sites.

(6) All units acquired or produced shall be within high or highest resource census tracts within the City of South Pasadena, as identified by the latest edition of the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s opportunity maps. To the greatest extent possible, units acquired or produced shall be in geographic proximity to the unoccupied homes that were sold by the City of South Pasadena.

(7) The City of South Pasadena shall commence construction or complete acquisition of all affordable units numbering at least three times the total number of unoccupied homes acquired by the city by July 1, 2028.

(8) Notwithstanding any other law, funds generated through the sale of unoccupied homes by the City of South Pasadena shall be held by the City of South Pasadena for the sole purpose of the financing of these units.

(9) The City of South Pasadena shall include as an attachment to its annual report required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400 all of the following:

(C) Documentation of rezoning actions taken by the City of South Pasadena to ensure the continued availability of sufficient capacity for development of sufficient affordable housing to accommodate all units prescribed in paragraph (3).

(D) Documentation of other actions taken by the City of South Pasadena to support its compliance with paragraph (3), including the acquisition of homes for use as affordable housing, rehabilitation of acquired homes or apartment units, or new construction of homes or apartment units for the same purpose.

(E) Other information requested by the Department of Housing and Community Development regarding the City of South Pasadena’s compliance with this paragraph.

(10) At the end of the period defined in paragraph (7), the City of South Pasadena shall additionally report all of the following information to the Department of Housing and Community Development:

(A) A summary of all prior reporting.

(B) Supporting documentation that evidences the acquisition or commencement of construction on a sufficient number of units of affordable housing to satisfy paragraphs (3) and (7) in a form agreeable to the Department of Housing and Community Development.

(C) An accounting of total funds spent to acquire unoccupied homes from the Department of Transportation pursuant to this paragraph.

(D) An accounting of funds generated through the sale of these homes.

(11) Failure to comply with any of paragraphs (1) to (10), inclusive, shall require the City of South Pasadena to pay a fine of an amount equal to the funds generated through the sale of unoccupied homes pursuant to this paragraph less the city’s acquisition cost. Fines shall be deposited into an account held by the Department of Housing and Community Development under the stipulations of Section 50470 within 30 calendar days of notification of failure to comply, and made accessible for the development of housing for persons and families of low and moderate income residing exclusively in the City of South Pasadena.

(12) Terms of paragraph (11) may be subject to up to two two-year extensions from the deadline specified in paragraph (7), provided the City of South Pasadena is able to demonstrate sufficient progress on the development or acquisition of all required affordable units. Sufficient progress may include, but is not limited to, an executed option agreement or exclusive negotiation agreement for purchase of property intended for conversion to affordable units, completed project entitlements or building permits, executed purchase agreements and draft covenants for the acquisition or rehabilitation of market rate units for the purpose of conversion to affordable units, a combination thereof, or other proof of progress at the discretion of the Director of the Department of Housing and Community Development.

(13) Any surplus funds remaining after the completion of the construction of the required affordable units shall be used at the discretion of the City of South Pasadena for the production or acquisition of rental or for-sale housing affordable to persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code.

(14) Compliance with any clause in paragraphs (3) to (13), inclusive, shall be determined by the Department of Housing and Community Development and is not subject to appeal.

(16) The surplus residential property subject to this subdivision shall be subject to a covenant recorded against the property to ensure the property’s use as pursuant to this subdivision.

(17) Notwithstanding paragraphs (3) to (15), inclusive, if the City of South Pasadena does not resell a surplus residential property sold to it by the Department of Transportation within two years of closure of the sale, the property shall be used as affordable housing pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54239.4.

(18) Terms of paragraph (17) may be subject to up to one two-year extension provided the City of South Pasadena is able to demonstrate sufficient progress on the sale of the surplus residential properties. Sufficient progress may include proof that the property has been listed for 180 days at a price that does not exceed fair market value based on comparable sales in the City of South Pasadena with no offers, unexpected structural damage due to a natural disaster or similar occurrence, or other proof of progress at the discretion of the Director of the Department of Housing and Community Development.

(19) The City of South Pasadena shall monitor compliance with the covenant required by paragraph (16). The City of South Pasadena may charge the property owner a fee to recover the cost of this monitoring.

(c) (1) After the surplus residential property is offered for sale pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 54237 and subdivisions (a) and (b) of this section, the property shall be offered in accordance with the priorities and procedures specified in subdivision (d) of Section 54237 and then in accordance with the priorities and procedures specified in subdivision (e) of Section 54237.

(e) (1) (A) As a condition of the sale of property to a housing-related entity pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d), the housing-related entity shall provide an enforceable commitment to the selling agency that, if a construction project is undertaken on the property, and the entirety of the project is not a public work for which prevailing wages must be paid for purposes of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code, all construction workers employed on the project will be paid at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for the type of work and geographic area, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Sections 1773 and 1773.9 of the Labor Code, except that apprentices registered in programs approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may be paid at least the applicable apprentice prevailing rate.
