(g) The term “low-income households,” as used in this section, means persons and families whose income does not exceed 80 percent of the median income of the Sacramento County Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as adjusted by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

(h) During the period commencing on January 1, 1980, and ending when 800 newly constructed dwelling units have been completed and occupied, the authority shall establish a schedule of rents designed to make available to low-income households not less than 400 units at as close to affordable rents as the authority deems practicable in light of its budgetary needs regarding its duties and obligations. The schedule shall be designed to impose market rate rents for remaining units leased by the authority from the department.

(i) During period set forth in subdivision (h), rents for the 400 units referred to in subdivision (h) shall only be increased by an amount the authority determines is equal to the increase in the cost of operation and maintenance (including overhead) of the units. The foregoing determination shall be based on evidence presented at a regular or special meeting of the authority’s governing body.

(j) During the period commencing on January 1, 1980, and ending when 600 newly constructed dwelling units have been completed and occupied, the provisions of subdivision (b) shall be a goal of the authority, which the authority shall pursue, giving due consideration to the provisions of the redevelopment plans and other duties and obligations of the authority. To this end, the authority shall utilize to the extent it deems appropriate:

(1) Tax exempt financing for the construction of residential dwelling units, and

(2) Federal and state programs for the subsidization of low-income households.

(k) On or before November 1, 1980, and annually thereafter, the authority shall make public a status report regarding the authority’s progress in achieving the housing production goals set forth in subdivisions (a) and (b). The status report shall (1) set forth the degree to which the authority has achieved this goal, and (2) specify programs the authority intends to pursue to achieve this goal.

(1) At the time the authority leases property for newly constructed dwelling units, it shall enter into a written lease with the developer of the units, designating the number of the units, if any, to be made available on a priority basis within that development to low-income households. If the number of units occupied by low-income households in the development ever falls below the designated number, then units which become available for occupancy shall, subject to available subsidies, be made available on a priority basis to low-income households until the number of units so occupied equals at least the number specified in the agreement. The authority may from time to time review agreements designating these units and, subject to agreement with the developer or his or her successors, may increase the number of units to be made available to low-income households. For the purpose of determining whether the authority is satisfying subdivision (b), units designated pursuant to this agreement shall be conclusively presumed to be available to low-income households at affordable rent. This presumption shall not apply in an action to enforce any provision of any lease or other agreement between the authority and the developer of newly constructed units. The authority shall monitor and enforce the provisions of this subdivision.

This section shall also apply to a member who is subject to Section 21076 or 21076.5.

(b) (1) An election to allow accumulated contributions to remain in the retirement fund may be revoked by the member at any time, except any of the following:

(a) All of the following shall apply to the sale or other disposition of excess property to fund the local alternative transportation improvement program approved pursuant to Section 14528.5:

(1) At the time the commission rescinds the freeway adoption previously approved for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project, and the commission approves the local alternative transportation improvement program, the commission shall authorize the department to sell, on an “as is” basis at fair market value, the excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project. However, any properties required for the implementation of the local alternative transportation improvement program shall not be sold.

(2) Article 8.5 (commencing with Section 54235) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 does not apply to the sale of excess property pursuant to this section.

(3) The disposition of excess property pursuant to this section shall be exempt from Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code. Upon title to the parcel vesting in the purchaser or transferee of the property, the purchaser or transferee shall be subject to any local governmental land use entitlement approval requirements and to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code. “Disposition” means the sale, exchange, sale combined with exchange, or transfer of a parcel of excess property.

(4) The department shall offer the direct sale, “as is” at fair market value, of an eligible excess single-family residence located on the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project properties, to the residential tenant of that residence if the tenant is in good standing in the residence and has a tenure of two years or more, with all rent obligations current and paid in full. For purposes of this section, “eligible excess single-family residence” means an excess single-family residence determined to be eligible for sale to single-family residential tenants pursuant to the settlement agreement described in subdivision (a) of Section 14528.6. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve any such sale transaction provided the commission determines the sale to be “as is” at fair market value.

(5) If a residential tenant in single-family residence qualifies for the direct sale as provided for in paragraph (4), and the residential tenant is unable to purchase the single-family residence occupied by the tenant because that single-family residence is ineligible for direct sale, the department declines to allow the direct sale of that single-family residence, the tenant does not qualify for financing for that single-family residence, the condition of the subject single-family residence does not allow financing, or the tenant needs a larger or smaller single-family residence, the department shall offer to the residential tenant the direct sale, “as is” at fair market value, of other available eligible excess single-family residences located on the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project properties. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve any such sale transaction provided the commission determines the sale to be “as is” at fair market value.

(6) The department may hire, or cause to be hired, an appraiser to determine the “as is” fair market value of any single-family residence for which a direct sale to a residential tenant is contemplated as provided for in paragraph (4) or (5). The appraiser shall, at a minimum, be in good standing, be designated a Senior Residential Appraiser by the Appraisal Institute, possess a certified residential license, and have knowledge of the City of Hayward and County of Alameda single-family residence residential housing market. The department, at its sole election, may undertake an appraisal review. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve an appraisal review as provided in this section. However, the commission retains the authority to determine that the appraisal or appraisal review accurately determined the “as is” fair market value according to the processes and procedures identified or referenced in this section. For the purposes of this section, “fair market value” has the meaning set forth in Section 1263.320 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

(b) This section shall become operative on the date on which the superior court issues the final approval order for the settlement agreement related to the disposition of excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project signed by the department, the City of Hayward, and representatives for members of the class of residents, or on January 1, 2010, whichever comes later.
