Such procedures may include (1) reasonable time deadlines for application, which, if not met by the applicant, will extinguish the obligation of the city or county to pay the assessment for that year and (2) a requirement that the applicant, not more than once each year, provide information which will enable the city or county to determine the dwelling unit in which the applicant resides and whether the applicant is a person or family of low or moderate income.
(b)  As to properties or portions of properties in which the occupancy of dwelling units is restricted by a written agreement or by operation of law to persons and families of low or moderate income, the owner of the property may apply to the city or county to have the assessment paid on all such dwelling units and as to those properties or portions of properties the use of which the city or county knows is restricted by a written agreement or by operation of law to persons and families of low or moderate income, the city or county shall pay the assessment without requiring any application to be submitted. The city or county may require the owners of such properties to provide a copy of the subject written agreement, if any, and to provide other information annually which will enable the city or county to determine the number of dwelling units actually occupied by persons or families of low or moderate income.
(c)  Except as to dwelling units in which the occupancy is restricted by law to persons and families of low or moderate income, the information required of applicants may include copies of federal and state income tax returns of the subject low or moderate income residents.
(d)  The procedures established by a city or county pursuant to this section shall provide for annual reviews as to whether real property within the assessment area containing residential dwelling units is occupied by persons and families of low or moderate income. The procedures shall additionally provide for notice to occupants and owners of property within the special assessment area of the maximum annual income by family size which may be received by persons and families of low or moderate income; the notices shall be mailed to such occupants and owners not less than 30 days prior to the final date for receiving applications for payment of the assessment pursuant to Section 33840.5.

34000. (a)  (1)  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(A)  Floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, storms, tidal waves, or other catastrophes are disasters that can harm the public health, safety, and welfare. Communities need effective methods for rebuilding after disasters.
(B)  The extraordinary powers of redevelopment agencies have been and can be useful in the reconstruction of buildings and in stimulating local economic activity.
(C)  The procedures and requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000)) restrict the ability of local officials to respond quickly after disasters.
(2)  In enacting this part, it is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature to provide communities with alternative procedures and requirements for redevelopment after disasters.
(b)  Any redevelopment agency or project area established pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Financial Assistance and Disaster Project Law (former Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 34000)), as that law existed prior to the effective date of the act that repeals that law, shall remain in existence and subject to that law as if the Legislature had not repealed that law.
(c)  This part shall apply only to redevelopment activities undertaken pursuant to its provisions on and after the effective date of the act that adds this part.
(d)  This part is known and may be cited as the Community Redevelopment Disaster Project Law.

(1)  “Disaster” means any flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, storm, tidal wave, or other catastrophe occurring on or after January 1, 1996, for which the Governor of the state has certified the need for assistance and which the President of the United States has determined to be a major disaster pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288), as it may be from time to time amended.
(2)  “Project area” is an area that meets both of the following requirements:
(A)  It is an area that is predominantly urbanized, as that term is defined in paragraph (3).
(B)  It is limited to an area in which the disaster damage has caused conditions that are so prevalent and so substantial that they have caused a reduction, or a lack, of the normal predisaster usage of the area to an extent that causes a serious physical and economic burden that cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated during the term of the redevelopment plan by private enterprise or governmental action, or both, without redevelopment.
(3)  “Predominantly urbanized” means that not less than 80 percent of the land in the project area meets the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 33320.1.
(4)  “Redevelopment agency” means any agency provided for and authorized to function pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law or this part.
