SB 1072: Housing omnibus.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

(1)Existing law authorized the County of Napa, until June 30, 2007, to meet up to 15 percent of its existing share of the regional housing need for lower income households in a specified manner.

This bill would repeal this expired authority.

(2) The Housing Accountability Act, which is a part of the Planning and Zoning Law, among other things, prohibits a local agency from disapproving a housing development project, as described, unless it makes specified written findings. The act requires a petition to enforce its provisions to be brought pursuant to a specified procedure and be filed no later than 90 days from the later of (A) the effective date of a decision of the local agency imposing conditions on, disapproving, or any other final action taken on a housing development project or (B) the expiration of certain time periods specified in the Permit Streamlining Act.

This bill would also include in the above-described expiration of certain time periods, among other things, the expiration of specified time periods in the State Housing Law.

The Planning and Zoning Law requires the owner of land on which an assisted housing development is located, at least 12 months prior to an anticipated date of termination of a subsidy contract, an expiration of rental restrictions, or a prepayment on an assisted housing development, to provide notice of the proposed change to each affected tenant household residing in the assisted housing development at the time the notice is provided and to the affected public entities. If the owner decides to terminate a subsidy contract or prepay the mortgage pursuant to these provisions, or if the owner has an assisted housing development in which there will be the expiration of rental restrictions, existing law requires the owner to first give notice of the opportunity to specified entities. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to monitor compliance with these provisions and provide a report to the Legislature, as prescribed, containing specified information. Existing law defines various terms for these purposes.

This bill would additionally require the owner to provide that notice to affected public entities, as defined. The bill would prescribe the process for serving the notice on a city, county, or city and county in which the assisted housing development is located, to the appropriate local public housing authority, if any, and the Department of Housing and Community Development. The bill would remove some of the information required to be in the report from the department described above. The bill would also make technical changes to these provisions.
