54227
. (a) In the event that any local agency disposing of surplus
land receives offers for the purchase or lease of that land from more
than one of the entities to which notice and an opportunity to
purchase or lease shall be given pursuant to this article, the local
agency shall give first priority to the entity that agrees to use the
site for housing that meets the requirements of Section 54222.5. If
the local agency receives offers from more than one entity that
agrees to meet the requirements of Section 54222.5, then the local
agency shall give priority to the entity that proposes to provide the
greatest number of units that meet the requirements of Section
54222.5 at the deepest level of affordability.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), first priority shall be given
to an entity that agrees to use the site for park or recreational
purposes if the land being offered is already being used and will
continue to be used for park or recreational purposes, or if the land
is designated for park and recreational use in the local general
plan and will be developed for that purpose.
