Overview
This bill modifies requirements for the disposal of surplus land owned by local agencies. Specifically, it adjusts the standards for ‘exempt surplus land’ within sectional planning areas, requiring at least 25% of proposed housing units to be dedicated to lower-income households (or a greater percentage if the sectional planning area requires it) and developed at a density of at least 10 units per acre. It also clarifies definitions related to ‘agency’s use’ and streamlines the process for certain types of surplus land disposals, particularly those involving community land trusts and former military bases.
Key provisions
- Increases the percentage of lower-income housing units required for ‘exempt surplus land’ in sectional planning areas to at least 25% (or higher if required by the area’s plan).
- Sets a minimum density requirement of 10 units per acre for development on ‘exempt surplus land’.
- Clarifies the definition of ‘agency’s use’ to exclude commercial or industrial uses.
- Modifies the requirements for surplus land transfers to community land trusts.
- Addresses specific requirements for surplus land associated with former military bases.
- Provides a streamlined process for disposing of surplus land owned by airports.
- Defines ‘sectional planning area’ and ‘sectional planning area document’ for clarity.
- Establishes a penalty for local agencies that fail to meet the requirements of the bill.
