Summary

Existing law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency. Existing law defines "surplus land" for these purposed to mean land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency's governing body takes formal action declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency's use. Existing law provides that an agency is not required to follow the requirements for disposal of surplus land for "exempt surplus land," except as provided. Existing law categorizes as "exempt surplus land," surplus land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state, or federal agency for the agency's use. The Planning and Zoning Law requires that the housing element of a city's or county's general plan consist of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to determine the existing and projected need for housing for each region, as specified. Existing law requires a planning agency to provide an annual report to the Department of Housing and Community Development that includes, among other things, its progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to designate jurisdictions that have enacted prohousing local policies, as defined, as prohousing. Existing law grants prohousing jurisdictions that have been found to have a substantially compliant housing element additional points or preferences in the scoring of programs and applications for specified state housing programs. This bill would add to the definition of "exempt surplus land," surplus land that is zoned for a density of up to 30 residential units, if residential properties within a radius of 500 feet of the site are zoned to have an allowable density of fewer than 30 dwelling units per acre and the most recent annual progress report, as described, submitted by the city or county that owns the surplus land shows that the total number of low-income and very low income housing units built within the city or county meets or exceeds proportionate annual progress toward the number of those housing units needed to meet the city's or county's share of regional housing need for the 6th cycle of its housing element, as described.
