Summary

Existing law, the California Factory-Built Housing Law, provides for the regulation of factory-built housing, as defined, by the Department of Housing and Community Development and requires, among other things, that all factory-built housing sold or offered for sale to first users within this state bear the insignia of approval issued by the department. Existing law, known as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city, county, or city and county to provide a developer that proposes a housing development within the jurisdictional boundaries of that city, county, or city and county with a density bonus and other incentives or concessions for the production of lower income housing units, or for the donation of land within the development, if the developer agrees to construct a specified percentage of units for very low income, low-income, or moderate-income households or qualifying residents and meets other requirements. Among other things, existing law requires a city, county, or city and county to provide a density bonus under these provisions if the developer agrees to construct a housing development in which at least 5% of the total units of a housing development are for rental or sale to very low income households or at least 10% of the total units are for rental or sale to lower income households, as specified. This bill would grant certain benefits to a factory-built housing development, as defined, that is manufactured by a qualified manufacturer. In this regard, the bill would require a qualified manufacturer to satisfy certain conditions, including, among other things, providing medical coverage to all of its employees and entering into and abiding by the terms of a labor peace agreement. This bill would prohibit a city or county from conducting any inspection of the interior of the units in a qualified factory-built housing development for compliance with specified building standards and regulations, if the qualified factory-built housing bears the above-described insignia of approval issued by the Department of Housing and Community Development. This bill would require a city or county to provide a developer of a qualified factory-built housing project a density bonus if the development includes either (1) 10% of the total units for rental or sale to lower income households, (2) 5% of the total units for rental or sale to very low income households, or (3) 10% of the total units of are sold to persons and families of moderate income, as specified. The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
