Section 50745.1 Of Article 2. Rental Construction Incentive Program From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 31. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 9. >> Article 2.
50745.1
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision or requirement of
this chapter, and any regulations adopted thereunder, the department
may contract with the agency, a local finance entity, or a sponsor to
pay all or any portion of the development costs incurred in
connection with the construction of a rental housing development
consistent with the requirements of this section.
(b) Pursuant to this section, funds may be utilized only to assist
the development of rental housing developments in Anaheim where the
department determines that such assistance is necessary to alleviate
hardship resulting from the destruction of rental units in Anaheim
caused by a fire which resulted in a state of emergency proclaimed on
April 23, 1982, by the Governor, as provided by Section 8625 of the
Government Code.
(c) Any rental housing development assisted pursuant to this
section shall not be governed by the percentage requirements
contained in Section 50736, nor shall units assisted pursuant to this
section be used in determining compliance with the percentage
requirements contained in Section 50736.
(d) As a condition of assistance provided pursuant to this
section, the department may establish such rent levels as the
department may determine are necessary to alleviate hardship in the
disaster area consistent with the economic feasibility of the
assisted rental housing development. Contracts and agreements
governing the provision of financial assistance pursuant to this
section shall not be subject to the requirements of Sections 50746
and 50749. The department may require such terms and conditions as it
determines are necessary to meet the needs of the disaster area and
its victims, to ensure fiscal integrity of the rental housing
development and to protect the interests of the state. The terms and
conditions required by the department, including the restrictions on
rent levels for assisted units, shall remain binding on sponsors of
developments assisted pursuant to this section, and heirs,
successors, and assigns, for a period of at least 20 years or such a
longer term as the department may require. The department shall
require that priority in occupancy of any units in a development
assisted pursuant to this section shall be given first to households
of low income, as defined in Section 50093, who have been displaced
from their dwelling units as a result of this disaster, and,
secondly, to any other victim of this disaster. After no additional
victims of this disaster qualify for, or remain in, any assisted
units, these units shall be available to, on a priority basis, or
occupied by households of low income.
(e) The department may allocate funds to an annuity fund
established pursuant to Section 50748, or utilize existing annuity
funds, to ensure that the rent levels established by the department
are maintained consistent with the fiscal integrity of the rental
housing development.
(f) The department may require funds utilized pursuant to this
section to be returned to the Rental Housing Construction Fund from
the present allocation of funds to the agency. Any repayment of funds
originating from the Rental Housing Construction Fund and utilized
pursuant to this section shall be utilized by the department pursuant
to this chapter.
(g) Any rule, policy or standard of general application employed
by the department in implementing the provisions of this section,
shall not be subject to the requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act, Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1
of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
