Section 8193.1 Of Article 3. Capitol Area Redevelopment From California Government Code >> Division 1. >> Title 2. >> Chapter 2.8. >> Article 3.
8193.1
. (a) Whenever dwelling units located within that portion of
the project area described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of
Section 8180 (the R Street Area) and housing of persons and families
of low or moderate income are destroyed or removed from the low- and
moderate-income housing market as part of a redevelopment project
that is subject to a written agreement with the authority or where
financial assistance has been provided by the authority, the
authority shall, within four years of the destruction or removal,
rehabilitate, develop, or construct, or cause to be rehabilitated,
developed, or constructed, for rental or sale to persons and families
of low or moderate income, an equal number of replacement dwelling
units that have an equal or greater number of bedrooms as those
destroyed or removed units at affordable housing costs within the R
Street Area. One hundred percent of the replacement dwelling units
shall be available at affordable housing cost to persons in the same
or a lower income category (low, very low, or moderate) as the
persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units.
(b) (1) Prior to the time limit on the authority's activities
established pursuant to Section 8194, at least 30 percent of all new
and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed by the
authority within the R Street Area shall be available at affordable
housing cost to persons and families of low or moderate income and
shall be occupied by those persons and families. Not less than 50
percent of the dwelling units required to be available at affordable
housing cost to persons and families of low or moderate income shall
be available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, very low
income households.
(2) (A) (i) Prior to the time limit on the authority's activities
established pursuant to Section 8194, at least 15 percent of all new
and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed within the R
Street Area by public or private entities or persons other than the
authority shall be available at affordable housing cost to persons
and families of low or moderate income and shall be occupied by those
persons and families. Not less than 40 percent of the dwelling units
required to be available at affordable housing cost to persons and
families of low or moderate income shall be available at affordable
housing cost to very low income households and shall be occupied by
those persons and families.
(ii) To satisfy this paragraph, in whole or in part, the authority
may cause, by regulation or agreement, to be available, at
affordable housing costs, to persons and families of low or moderate
income or to very low income households, as applicable, two units
outside the R Street Area for each unit that otherwise would have
been required to be available inside the R Street Area.
(iii) As used in this subdivision, "substantially rehabilitated
dwelling units" means substantially rehabilitated, with authority
assistance, multifamily rented dwelling units with three or more
units, or substantially rehabilitated, with authority assistance,
single-family dwelling units with one or two units.
(iv) As used in this subdivision, "substantial rehabilitation"
means rehabilitation, the value of which constitutes 25 percent of
the after-rehabilitation value of the dwelling, inclusive of the land
value.
(B) To satisfy the requirements of this subdivision, the authority
may purchase, or otherwise acquire or cause by regulation or
agreement the purchase or other acquisition of, long-term
affordability covenants on multifamily units that restrict the cost
of renting or purchasing those units that meet either of the
following criteria:
(i) The units are not presently available at affordable housing
cost to persons and families of low or very low income.
(ii) The units are presently available at affordable housing cost
to these persons and families of low or very low income, but are
units that the authority finds, based upon substantial evidence,
after a public hearing, cannot reasonably be expected to remain
affordable to this same group of persons or families.
(3) To satisfy the requirements of this subdivision, newly
constructed rental dwelling units shall remain affordable to, and
occupied by, persons and families of low or moderate income for not
less than 55 years.
