14528.65. (a) All of the following shall apply to the sale or other disposition of excess property to fund the local alternative transportation improvement program approved pursuant to Section 14528.5:
(1) At the time the commission rescinds the freeway adoption previously approved for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project, and the commission approves the local alternative transportation improvement program, the commission shall authorize the department to sell, on an “as is” basis at fair market value, the excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project. However, any properties required for the implementation of the local alternative transportation improvement program shall not be sold.
(2) Article 8.5 (commencing with Section 54235) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 does not apply to the sale of excess property pursuant to this section.
(3) The disposition of excess property pursuant to this section shall be exempt from Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code. Upon title to the parcel vesting in the purchaser or transferee of the property, the purchaser or transferee shall be subject to any local governmental land use entitlement approval requirements and to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code. “Disposition” means the sale, exchange, sale combined with exchange, or transfer of a parcel of excess property.
(4) The department shall offer the direct sale, “as is” at fair market value, of an eligible excess single-family residence located on the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project properties, to the residential tenant of that residence if the tenant is in good standing in the residence and has a tenure of two years or more, with all rent obligations current and paid in full. For purposes of this section, “eligible excess single-family residence” means an excess single-family residence determined to be eligible for sale to single-family residential tenants pursuant to the settlement agreement described in subdivision (a) of Section 14528.6. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve any such sale transaction provided the commission determines the sale to be “as is” at fair market value.
(5) If a residential tenant in single-family residence qualifies for the direct sale as provided for in paragraph (4), and the residential tenant is unable to purchase the single-family residence occupied by the tenant because that single-family residence is ineligible for direct sale, the department declines to allow the direct sale of that single-family residence, the tenant does not qualify for financing for that single-family residence, the condition of the subject single-family residence does not allow financing, or the tenant needs a larger or smaller single-family residence, the department shall offer to the residential tenant the direct sale, “as is” at fair market value, of other available eligible excess single-family residences located on the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project properties. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve any such sale transaction provided the commission determines the sale to be “as is” at fair market value.
(6) The department may hire, or cause to be hired, an appraiser to determine the “as is” fair market value of any single-family residence for which a direct sale to a residential tenant is contemplated as provided for in paragraph (4) or (5). The appraiser shall, at a minimum, be in good standing, be designated a Senior Residential Appraiser by the Appraisal Institute, possess a certified residential license, and have knowledge of the City of Hayward and County of Alameda single-family residence residential housing market. The department, at its sole election, may undertake an appraisal review. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve an appraisal review as provided in this section. However, the commission retains the authority to determine that the appraisal or appraisal review accurately determined the “as is” fair market value according to the processes and procedures identified or referenced in this section. For the purposes of this section, “fair market value” has the meaning set forth in Section 1263.320 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(b) This section shall become operative on the date on which the superior court issues the final approval order for the settlement agreement related to the disposition of excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project signed by the department, the City of Hayward, and representatives for members of the class of residents, or on January 1, 2010, whichever comes later.
(Added by Stats. 2009, Ch. 291, Sec. 6. (AB 1386) Effective January 1, 2010. Section operative on January 1, 2010, or later date, by its own provisions.)
