Status: in_force

In any special election or elections called upon the question of confirmation of an order for merger or the establishment of a subsidiary district or for a reorganization, where the results of the election or elections are to be determined from votes of both landowner-voters and registered voters, the votes of the landowner-voters shall be computed and equated with the votes of the registered voters in the following manner:

(a) First, the per capita assessed value of land for each registered voter within the county within which the elections are held shall be determined to the nearest even dollar by dividing the total assessed value of land within the county, as shown on the last equalized assessment roll of the county, by the total number of voters who were registered in the county at the close of registration, as provided in the Elections Code, next preceding the date of the election. If any landowner-voter district is located in more than one county, the per capita assessed value for each county shall be multiplied by a percentage, to the nearest one-tenth of 1 percent, those percentages being determined by dividing the total area of the district into the area of those portions of the district located within that county; the resulting products of those multiplications shall then be added and the total, to the nearest even dollar, shall be deemed to be the per capita assessed value for all the counties.

(b) Second, if any such landowner-voter district does not use the county assessment roll for the purposes of levying and collecting district assessments or taxes, the per capita assessed value of land for each registered voter within the county shall be corrected by multiplying the per capita assessed value by a correction factor determined as follows: The total assessed valuation of all lands within the district, as shown upon the last equalized assessment roll or book of the district, shall be divided by the corresponding total assessed valuation of all lands within the district, as shown upon the last equalized assessment roll of the county, and the quotient, expressed to the nearest of two decimal places, shall represent the correction factor. If any landowner-voter district is located in more than one county, a correction factor shall be determined, in the manner above provided, for each such county covering all those portions of the district which are located within the county; the correction factor for each county shall then be multiplied by a percentage, to the nearest one-tenth of 1 percent, that percentage being determined by dividing the total area of the district into the area of those portions of the district located within that county; the resulting products of those multiplications shall then be added and the total, to the nearest of two decimal places, shall be deemed to be the correction factor for all the counties.

(c) Third, the corrected per capita assessed value, determined to the nearest even dollar, shall then be adjusted by dividing it by the number of dollars required for a single vote by a landowner-voter, as specified in the principal act determining the landowner-voter’s right to vote.

(d) Fourth, the total number of votes cast by landowner-voters for and against the question shall be divided by the corrected and adjusted per capita assessed value and the quotients, to the nearest whole figures, shall be deemed to be the number of votes of landowner-voters which shall be equated with the votes of the registered-voters of any city or registered voter district, cast for and against the question.

(a) After the surplus residential property is offered for sale pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 54237, these properties shall then be offered at fair market value to present tenants who have occupied the property for five years or more and who are in good standing with all rent obligations current and paid in full, with first right of occupancy to the present tenants.

(b) After the surplus residential property is offered for sale pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 54237 and subdivision (a) of this section, and if the property is not occupied by tenants, the property shall be offered to the City of South Pasadena subject to all of the following:

(1) The sales price shall be the price paid by the Department of Transportation for original acquisition. The original acquisition price shall not be adjusted for inflation.

(2) Surplus residential property sold pursuant to this subdivision shall be sold in its existing “as is” condition.

(3) The City of South Pasadena shall, with the proceeds generated from the subsequent sale of unoccupied homes, finance the production or acquisition of affordable housing units. Units produced must have a regulatory agreement requiring an affordable sales price or an affordable rent, as defined in Sections 50052.5 and 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, for a minimum of 55 years for rental and 45 years for owner-occupied affordable housing. Units acquired must have a regulatory agreement requiring an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, for a minimum of 55 years for rental. Proceeds may be used to finance either or both of the following:

(A) The production of three housing units affordable to persons and families of very low, low and moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, for every unoccupied home purchased by the City of South Pasadena.

The analysis must also demonstrate local efforts to remove constraints that hinder development of the parcels and evaluate their impact on the speed of delivery and depth of affordability of the necessary affordable units prescribed in paragraph (3).

(B) Any parcel used for the development of these units shall be granted streamlined, ministerial approval and not be subject to a conditional use permit or other nonlegislative discretionary approval, and shall be exempt from any initiative or other measure that may preclude achieving maximum densities, including, but not limited to, any height restriction requirement. The Legislature finds and declares that, in light of the shortage of affordable housing in the state, facilitating the development of affordable housing as provided in this subparagraph is necessary to support the development and speed of delivery and the depth of affordability of the necessary affordable units prescribed in paragraph (3), as well as the sale of surplus residential properties to the City of South Pasadena by the Department of Transportation.

(13) Any surplus funds remaining after the completion of the construction of the required affordable units shall be used at the discretion of the City of South Pasadena for the production or acquisition of rental or for-sale housing affordable to persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code.

(ii) Any project involving construction on properties subsequently sold to a housing-related entity by the city pursuant to subdivision (b), if the entirety of the project is not a public work for which prevailing wages must be paid for purposes of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code.

(2) If the project is subject to paragraph (1), then for those portions of the project that are not a public work all of the following shall apply:

(F) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 1773.1 of the Labor Code, the requirement that employer payments not reduce the obligation to pay the hourly straight time or overtime wages found to be prevailing shall not apply if otherwise provided in a bona fide collective bargaining agreement covering the worker. The requirement to pay at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages does not preclude use of an alternative workweek schedule adopted pursuant to Section 511 or 514 of the Labor Code.

(c) A landlord shall not impose, or threaten to impose, penalties on a tenant or resident who exercises the tenant’s or resident’s right to summon law enforcement assistance or emergency assistance as, or on behalf of, a victim of abuse, a victim of crime, or an individual in an emergency, based on the person’s belief that the assistance is necessary, as described in subdivision (b). A landlord shall not impose, or threaten to impose, penalties on a tenant or resident as a consequence of a person who is not a resident or tenant summoning law enforcement assistance or emergency assistance on the tenant’s, resident’s, or other person’s behalf, based on the person’s belief that the assistance is necessary.

(3) A landlord or owner may rebut the presumption described in paragraph (2) by demonstrating that a reason other than the summoning of law enforcement or emergency assistance as, or on behalf of, a victim of abuse, a victim of crime, or an individual in an emergency was a substantial motivating factor for filing the complaint.

(g) In addition to other remedies provided by law, a violation of this section entitles a tenant, a resident, or other aggrieved person to seek injunctive relief prohibiting the landlord from creating or enforcing policies in violation of this section, or from imposing or threatening to impose penalties against the tenant, resident, or other aggrieved person based on summoning law enforcement or emergency assistance as, or on behalf of, a victim of abuse, a victim of crime, or an individual in an emergency.

(h) This section does not permit an injunction to be entered that would prohibit the filing of an unlawful detainer action.

(i) This section does not limit a landlord’s exercise of the landlord’s other rights under a lease or rental agreement, or under other law pertaining to the hiring of property, with regard to matters that are not addressed by this section.

The district treasurer shall thereupon cancel the bond debt and shall cause proper credit therefor to be entered on the records of the district and in the office of the auditor and tax collector. If the legislative body agrees to allow bond tenders pursuant to this section or to Section 53356.8, the legislative body may, at its discretion, agree to distribute or direct its trustee or other agent to distribute by any means an offer to purchase bonds or other related inquiry to the holders of the bonds of the district, at the expense of the person requesting the mailing. Neither the legislative body, nor any of its officers, agents, or trustees shall be liable in any way for that distribution.

(b) The provisions of this subdivision apply to any tender of bonds pursuant to this section by an owner of property within the district who is delinquent in paying special taxes levied by this district when due.

(3) The tendering property owner provides the legislative body with a negative assurance from counsel representing the property owner that no misleading or other information has come to the opining party’s attention after reasonable investigation, that would lead the party providing the negative assurance to believe that the tender was in violation of federal or state securities laws.

(4) The tendering property owner delivers to the legislative body of the district that issued the bonds subject to the tender, a certificate to the effect that the tender information is accurate in all material respects and does not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements included in the tender information not misleading, except that the certificate need not provide any assurances as to the accuracy of the information as to the bond fund balances and tax payment information provided by the district.
