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.
