CA SB 1514

Title: Local Government Omnibus Act of 2024.
Author: Senate Local Government Committee

Summary
SB 1514, as introduced, Committee on Local Government. Local Government Omnibus Act of 2024. (1) Existing law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency. Existing law defines “surplus land” for these purposes 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 the disposal of surplus land for “exempt surplus land,” except as provided. Existing law defines “exempt surplus land,” to include various specified surplus lands that meet certain conditions, that include, among other conditions, where applicable, a specified amount of the residential units restricted to lower income households, as defined, with an affordable sales price or an affordable rent, as defined, for a minimum of 55 years for rental housing and land use for ownership housing, among other requirements.This bill would revise the definition of “exempt surplus land” to replace requirements for land use for ownership housing in the above-described restrictions with requirements for an affordable sales price or an affordable rent for 45 years for ownership housing.(2) Existing law requires a local agency to take formal action in a regular public meeting to declare that land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use and to declare land as either surplus land or exempt surplus land, as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with an agency’s policies or procedures. Existing law, except as specified, requires any local agency disposing of surplus land to send, before disposing of that property or participating in negotiations to dispose of that property with a prospective transferee, a written notice of availability of the property to entities specific to the purpose of the availability.This bill would correct a cross-reference in that notice provision and make other nonsubstantive changes.
