Section 53398.75.5
Status: in_force

(a) This section shall be known and may be cited as the Neighborhood Infill Finance and Transit Improvements Act, or NIFTI.

(b) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1) California is facing an affordable housing crisis that necessitates the creation of additional tools for local jurisdictions to create new local funding streams that will support equitable infill housing and associated supportive utility and transit infrastructure.

(2) The creation of a NIFTI district will authorize local jurisdictions to capitalize on existing revenues. This will spur private investment and provide additional dollars to support development and revitalization of urbanized areas that include housing for all income levels with equal access to public transit, goods, services, and economic opportunities.

(3) The benefits of a NIFTI district include the ability to fund more affordable housing units, as well as needed infrastructure upgrades to meet the current and future capacity demands.

(c) At any time before or after the adoption of the infrastructure financing plan, a city, county, or city and county may adopt a resolution to allocate tax revenues of that entity to the district, including revenues derived from local sales and use taxes imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) or transactions and use taxes imposed in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) if all of the following apply:

(1) The area to be financed with funds received pursuant to this section is an infill site, as defined by Section 21061.3 of the Public Resources Code.

(2) The infrastructure financing plan requires that at least 20 percent of the total funds received by the district pursuant to this section be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of housing for persons and families of low income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, or very low income households, as defined in Section 50105 of the Health and Safety Code, for rent or purchase.

(3) (A) The infrastructure financing plan requires that, prior to the time limits set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 53398.63, at least 20 percent of any new housing units constructed in the district be affordable to persons and families of low or moderate income with at least 6 percent of the new units affordable to very low income households and at least 9 percent of the new units affordable to persons and families of low income.

(B) The infrastructure financing plan shall ensure that the requirements of this subdivision are met every 10 years.

(4) The use of the revenues derived from the local sales and use tax imposed under the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) or transactions and use taxes imposed in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) pursuant to the infrastructure financing plan is consistent with the purposes for which that tax is imposed.

(5) The boundaries of the enhanced infrastructure financing district are coterminous with the city or county that established the district.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 53398.52, revenues collected and allocated for the purposes of this section shall not be used for highway or highway interchange improvements.

(e) The enhanced infrastructure financing district shall require, by recorded covenants or restrictions, that affordable housing units financed pursuant to this section remain available at affordable housing costs to, and occupied by, very low income households, persons and families of low income, or persons and families of low or moderate income for the longest feasible time, but for not less than 55 years for rental units and 45 years for owner-occupied units.

(f) A legislative body shall not adopt an ordinance terminating an enhanced infrastructure financing district created pursuant to this section if the district has not complied with its affordable housing obligations.

(g) Paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 1720 of the Labor Code shall not apply to projects financed by the enhanced infrastructure financing district.

(b) The commission shall notify the county auditor of the proposal, the affected local agencies to be extinguished, and the services proposed to be transferred to new jurisdictions, and identify for the auditor the changes to occur.

(c) If the proposal would not transfer all of the service responsibilities of the disincorporating city to the affected county or to a single affected agency, the commission and the county auditor shall do all of the following:

(1) The county auditor shall determine the proportion that the amount of property tax revenue derived by the city being disincorporated pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 93 of the Revenue and Taxation Code bears to the total amount of revenue from all sources, available for general purposes, received by the city being disincorporated in the prior fiscal year and provide his or her response within 15 days of receiving notification from the commission pursuant to subdivision (b).

(2) The commission shall determine, based on information submitted by the city being disincorporated, an amount equal to the total net cost to that city during the prior fiscal year of providing those services that an affected agency will assume within the area subject to the proposal. For purposes of this paragraph, “total net cost” means the total direct and indirect costs that were funded by general purpose revenues of the city being disincorporated and excludes any portion of the total cost that was funded by any revenues of that agency that are specified in subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (1).

(3) For the services to be transferred to each affected local agency, the commission shall multiply the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (2) by the proportion determined pursuant to paragraph (1) to derive the amount of property tax revenue used to provide services by the city being disincorporated during the prior fiscal year within the area subject to the proposal. The county auditor shall adjust the amount so determined by the annual tax increment pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, to the fiscal year in which the affected agency receives its next allocation of property taxes.

(d) If the proposal for disincorporation would transfer all of the service responsibilities of the city proposed for disincorporation, other than those that are proposed to be discontinued, to a single successor, the commission shall request the auditor to determine the property tax revenue allocated to the city being disincorporated by tax rate area, or portion thereof, and transmit that information to the commission.

(e) The executive officer shall notify the auditor of the amount determined pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d), as the case may be, and, where applicable, the period of time within which and the procedure by which the transfer of property tax revenues will be effected pursuant to this section, at the time the executive officer records a certificate of completion pursuant to Section 57203 for any proposal described in subdivision (a), and the auditor shall transfer that amount to the affected agency or agencies that will assume the services as determined by the commission. Any property tax not transferred to an affected agency pursuant to subdivision (c) shall be transferred to the affected county.

(f) For purposes of this section, “prior fiscal year” means the most recent fiscal year preceding the issuance of the certificate of filing for which data is available on actual direct and indirect costs and revenues needed to perform the calculations required by this section.

(g) Any action brought by a city, county, or district to contest any of the determinations of the county auditor or the commission with regard to the amount of property tax revenue to be exchanged by the affected local agencies pursuant to this section shall be commenced within three years of the effective date of the disincorporation.

Whenever a peace officer or public officer or employee, when authorized by ordinance and as defined in Section 836.5 of the Penal Code, arrests any person for operating as a taxicab without a valid taxicab certificate, license, or permit required by any ordinance, and the offense occurred at a public airport, within 100 feet of a public airport, or within two miles of the international border between the United States and Mexico, the officer or employee may impound and retain possession of any vehicle used in a violation of the ordinance.

If the vehicle is seized from a person who is not the owner of the vehicle, the impounding authority shall immediately give notice to the owner by first-class mail.

The vehicle shall immediately be returned to the owner without cost to the owner if the infraction or violation is not prosecuted or is dismissed, the owner is found not guilty of the offense, or it is determined that the vehicle was used in violation of the ordinance without the knowledge and consent of the owner. Otherwise, the vehicle shall be returned to the owner upon payment of any fine ordered by the court. After the expiration of six weeks from the final disposition of the criminal case, the impounding authority may deal with the vehicle as lost or abandoned property under Section 1411 of the Penal Code.

At any time, a person may make a motion in superior court for the immediate return of a vehicle on the ground that there was no probable cause to seize it or that there is some other good cause, as determined by the court, for the return of the vehicle. A proceeding under this paragraph is a limited civil case.

No officer or employee, however, shall impound any vehicle owned or operated by a nonprofit organization exempt from taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code which serves youth or senior citizens and provides transportation incidental to its programs or services.

(ii) If the rental vehicle has not been returned following 24 hours after the contracted return date or by 24 hours following the end of an extension of that return date, the rental company may activate electronic surveillance technology.

The rental or lease agreement shall advise the renter that electronic surveillance technology may be activated if the rental vehicle has not been returned within 24 hours after the contracted return date or extension of the return date. The renter shall acknowledge this advisement in the rental or lease agreement by initials. The advisement shall also be made orally to the renter at the time of executing the rental or lease agreement if the transaction is completed in person or by telephone. The advisements are not required to be made to members of the rental company’s membership program executing a rental or lease agreement. However, a renter shall be given those advisements upon enrolling in the rental company’s membership program.

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (ii), if the rental vehicle has not been returned following one week after the contracted return date or by one week following the end of an extension of that return date.

If the rental company uses the equipment in connection with this provision relating to an AMBER Alert, the rental company shall notify law enforcement that one of the rental company’s vehicles is the subject of an AMBER Alert upon becoming aware of the situation, unless law enforcement has already informed the rental company that the vehicle was the subject of an AMBER Alert.

(B) If electronic surveillance technology is activated pursuant to subparagraph (A), a rental company shall maintain a record, in either electronic or written form, of information relevant to the activation of that technology.

The record shall be maintained for a period of at least 12 months from the time the record is created and shall be made available upon the renter’s request. The rental company shall maintain and furnish explanatory codes necessary to read the record. A rental company shall not be required to maintain a record if electronic surveillance technology is activated to recover a rental vehicle that is stolen or missing at a time other than during a rental period.

(2) Electronic surveillance technology that allows for the remote locking or unlocking of the vehicle at the request of the renter, if the rental company does not use, access, or obtain information relating to the renter’s use of the rental vehicle that was obtained using that technology, except as necessary to lock or unlock the vehicle.

(3) Electronic surveillance technology that allows the company to provide roadside assistance, such as towing, flat tire, or fuel services, at the request of the renter, if the rental company does not use, access, or obtain information relating to the renter’s use of the rental vehicle that was obtained using that technology except as necessary to provide the requested roadside assistance.

(c) Subdivision (a) does not prohibit a rental company from obtaining, accessing, or using information from electronic surveillance technology for the sole purpose of determining the date and time the vehicle departs from and is returned to the rental company, and the total mileage driven and the vehicle fuel level of the returned vehicle. The information obtained or accessed from this electronic surveillance technology shall only be used for the purpose described in this subdivision.
