37361. (a) The legislative body may acquire property for the preservation or development of a historical landmark. The legislative body may also acquire property for development for recreational purposes and for development of facilities in connection therewith.
(b) The legislative body may provide for places, buildings, structures, works of art, and other objects, having a special character or special historical or aesthetic interest or value, special conditions or regulations for their protection, enhancement, perpetuation or use, which may include appropriate and reasonable control of the use or appearance of neighboring private property within public view, or both.
(c) Until January 1, 1995, subdivision (b) shall not apply to noncommercial property owned by a religiously affiliated association or corporation not organized for private profit, whether incorporated as a religious or public benefit corporation, unless the owner of the property does not object to its application.

Subdivision (b) shall not apply to noncommercial property owned by any association or corporation that is religiously affiliated and not organized for private profit, whether the corporation is organized as a religious corporation, or as a public benefit corporation, provided that both of the following occur:
(1) The association or corporation objects to the application of the subdivision to its property.
(2) The association or corporation determines in a public forum that it will suffer substantial hardship, which is likely to deprive the association or corporation of economic return on its property, the reasonable use of its property, or the appropriate use of its property in the furtherance of its religious mission, if the application is approved.
(d) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to infringe on the authority of any legislative body to enforce special conditions and regulations on any property designated prior to January 1, 1994, or to authorize any legislative body to override the determination made pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).

2023 California Code › Government Code - GOV › TITLE 4 - GOVERNMENT OF CITIES › DIVISION 3 - OFFICERS › PART 2 - LEGISLATIVE BODY › CHAPTER 5 - City Property › ARTICLE 1 - General › Section 37361.1.

37361.1. Notwithstanding anything in this chapter to the contrary, the legislative body may convey, upon such terms and conditions as it determines to be in the public interest, any surplus real property, together with any building thereon, owned by the city which has been determined by the legislative body to be of general historical interest, to an association or society the purpose of which is to research and promote the city’s historical heritage or to preserve property of historical interest in the city and which is a nonprofit corporation formed under the laws of this state. Any such conveyance shall contain a condition to the effect that the historical nature of the property be restored, preserved, or both, for the benefit of the citizens of the city, and that title will revert to the city in the event that the association or society conveys the property in question to any person or entity which is not a nonprofit corporation involved with preserving and researching the history of the city.

2023 California Code › Government Code - GOV › TITLE 4 - GOVERNMENT OF CITIES › DIVISION 3 - OFFICERS › PART 2 - LEGISLATIVE BODY › CHAPTER 5 - City Property › ARTICLE 1 - General › Section 37362.

37362. The Legislature hereby finds that many persons and families of low or moderate income, as defined by Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, cannot afford to purchase housing in the conventional housing market. The Legislature also recognizes that cities occasionally acquire residential property requiring substantial rehabilitation prior to being deemed habitable. Since maintenance of existing housing stock and the extension of opportunities for homeownership are desirable objectives, the Legislature declares that the public interest would be well served if cities were empowered to sell such residential property at less than market value to such persons and families of low or moderate income, on condition that the purchaser rehabilitate the home and reside therein for a specified length of time. The provisions of this section shall apply to a chartered city.
(Amended by Stats. 1979, Ch. 1191.)
2023 California Code › Government Code - GOV › TITLE 4 - GOVERNMENT OF CITIES › DIVISION 3 - OFFICERS › PART 2 - LEGISLATIVE BODY › CHAPTER 5 - City Property › ARTICLE 1 - General › Section 37363.

37363. When the legislative body of a city finds the public interest and convenience require the sale for less than the market price of residential property acquired by the city, it may pass an ordinance providing for such sale. The ordinance shall set forth the procedure to be followed in completing such sales, including the qualifications required of a purchaser of such property, and shall contain provisions requiring that the purchaser of the property live in the property for a specified length of time and must rehabilitate such property to the extent specified in the ordinance; provided, however, that title to the property shall not be transferred until all the requirements set forth in the ordinance have been satisfied. Upon transfer of title by the city pursuant to any ordinance adopted under the provisions of this section, compliance with the requirements of the ordinance shall be conclusively presumed in favor of a bona fide purchaser or encumbrancer for value. Persons eligible to purchase such residential property shall be persons and families of low or moderate income, as defined by Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code. To the greatest extent possible, cities shall utilize such ordinances to assist very low income households, as defined by Section 50105 of the Health and Safety Code, and lower income households, as defined by Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code. The provisions of this section shall apply to a chartered city.

37364. (a) The Legislature reaffirms its finding that the provision of housing for all Californians is a concern of vital statewide importance. The Legislature recognizes that real property of cities can be utilized, in accordance with a city’s best interests, to provide housing affordable to persons and families of low or moderate income. Therefore, notwithstanding any provision of a city’s charter, or any other provision of law, whenever the legislative body of a city determines that any real property or interest therein owned or to be purchased by the city can be used to provide housing affordable to persons and families of low or moderate income, as defined by Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or its successors, and that this use is in the city’s best interests, the city may sell, lease, exchange, quitclaim, convey, or otherwise dispose of the real property or interest therein at less than fair market value, or purchase an interest in the real property, to provide that affordable housing under whatever terms and conditions the city deems best suited to the provision of such housing.
(b) Not less than 80 percent of the area of any parcel of property disposed of pursuant to this section shall be used for development of housing.
(c) Not less than 40 percent of the total number of those housing units developed on any parcel pursuant to this section shall be affordable to households whose incomes are equal to, or less than, 75 percent of the maximum income of lower income households, and at least half of which shall be affordable to very low income households.
(d) Dwelling units produced for persons and families of low or moderate income under this section shall be restricted by regulatory agreement to remain continually affordable to those persons and families for the longest feasible time, but not less than 30 years, pursuant to a method prescribed by the city. The regulatory agreement shall contain a provision making the covenants and conditions of the agreement binding upon successors in interest of the housing sponsor. The regulatory agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the housing development is located. The regulatory agreement shall be recorded in the grantor-grantee index to the name of the property owner as grantor and to the name of the city as grantee.
(e) The provisions of this section shall apply to all cities, including charter cities.
(f) The definitions of “persons and families of low and moderate income,” “lower income households,” and “very low income households” set forth in Sections 50079, 50093, and 50105 of the Health and Safety Code shall apply to this section.

37380. (a) A city may lease property owned or held or controlled by it, or any of its departments, for not to exceed 55 years.
(b) Notwithstanding the 55-year limitation in subdivision (a), a city may lease property owned or held or controlled by it, or any of its departments or boards for a period exceeding 55 years but not exceeding 99 years, if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The lease shall be subject to periodic review by the city and shall take into consideration the then current market conditions. The local legislative body may, prior to final execution of the lease, establish the lease provisions which will periodically be reviewed, and determine when those provisions are to be reviewed.
(2) Any lease entered into pursuant to this section shall be authorized by an ordinance adopted by the legislative body. The ordinance shall be subject to referendum in the manner prescribed by law for ordinances of cities.
(3) Prior to adopting an ordinance authorizing a lease, the governing body shall hold a public hearing. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be published pursuant to Section 6066 in one or more newspapers of general circulation within the city, and shall be mailed to any person requesting special notice, to any present tenant of the public property, and to all owners of land adjoining the property.
(4) Any lease shall be awarded to the bidder which, in the determination of the legislative body, offers the greatest economic return to the city, after competitive bidding conducted in the manner determined by the legislative body. Notice inviting bids shall be published pursuant to Section 6066 in one or more newspapers of general circulation within the city.
The provisions of paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) do not apply to any charter city, which may utilize a procedure as specified by charter or adopted by ordinance in accordance with its charter.
