School facilities: surplus real property: charter schools. Planning and zoning: streamlined approval process.Existing law, until January 1, 2026, authorizes a development proponent to submit an application for a multifamily housing development, which satisfies specified objective planning standards, that is subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval process, as provided, and not subject to a conditional use permit. Existing law requires, among other objective planning standards, that the development be subject to a minimum percentage of below market rate housing on the basis that the locality failed to submit its latest production report by the applicable time period, or that if the report was submitted, it reflects either that there were fewer units of above-moderate-income housing approved than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80% of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period and the project seeking approval meets specified requirements, or that there were fewer units of housing affordable to any of the previously described income levels that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, as specified.This bill would revise these provisions to provide that the development is subject to a minimum percentage of below market rate housing on the basis that the localitys latest production report was submitted to the department within the time provided, and reflects either that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making above 120% of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80% of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period and the project seeking approval meets specified requirements, or there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making between 80% and 120% of the area median income issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval meets specified requirements. Additionally, the bill would provide that the development is subject to a minimum percentage of below market rate housing on the basis that the locality failed to submit its latest 2 production reports by the applicable time period or either of the 2 latest production reports reflect that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making above 120% and below 80% of the area median income than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, as specified.(1)Existing law, the Charter Schools Act of 1992, provides for the establishment and operation of charter schools and provides that a charter school may operate as, or be operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation. Under existing law, a charter school that is unable to locate within the jurisdiction of the chartering school district may, under specified circumstances, establish a site outside of the boundaries of the school district but within the county in which the school district is located. Existing law law required, until July 1, 2016, the governing board of a school district seeking to sell or lease real property designed to provide direct instruction or instructional support that the governing board deemed to be surplus property to first provide a written offer to sell or lease that property to any charter school that had submitted a written request to the school district to be notified of surplus real property offered by the school district for sale or lease, as specified. That law required a charter school to use the real property sold or leased exclusively to provide direct instruction or instructional support.Existing law, the Teacher Housing Act of 2016, authorizes a school district to establish and implement programs, as provided, that address the housing needs of teachers and school district employees who face challenges in securing affordable housing. This bill would reinstate the requirement that expired on July 1, 2016, to first provide a written offer to the above-specified charter schools but would exempt from the requirement the governing board of a school district seeking to sell or lease real property it deems to be surplus property intended to be used in accordance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016. The bill would limit the requirement to provide these written offers to only those charter schools that are operating as, or operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation and that are not located outside of the boundaries of the chartering school district pursuant to the provision applicable to a charter school unable to locate within the chartering school district. The bill would eliminate the specification that the real property deemed to be surplus real property must be designed to provide direct instruction or instructional support to be subject to the requirement to offer the property to eligible charter schools. The bill would require a charter school to complete school facilities construction, if any, and begin using the real property for direct instruction or instructional support within 5 years of the date the real property is made available to the charter school.Existing law required, until July 1, 2016, that the price at which real property was sold to a charter school not exceed the school districts cost of acquisition, adjusted as specified, and provided that in no event shall the price be less than 25% of the fair market value of the real property or less than the amount necessary to retire the share of local bonded indebtedness plus the amount of the original cost of the approved state aid applications on the property. This bill would reinstate this requirement and would increase the price at which a school district may sell real property to a charter school to no less than 75% of the fair market value of the real property for a school district that has requested an emergency apportionment or submitted a negative certification to the State Department of Education in the past 2 years and to no less than 50% of the fair market value of the real property for a school district that has submitted a qualified certification to the department in the past 2 years.Existing law required, until July 1, 2016, a charter school selling real property obtained pursuant to the these provisions to use the proceeds only for capital outlay, maintenance, and other facility-related costs.This bill would reinstate this requirement, revised to specify that the proceeds shall be used only for capital outlay, maintenance, and other school facility-related costs.(2)Existing law authorizes the proceeds from the sale or lease with option to purchase of surplus real property owned by a school district to be deposited into the general fund of the school district, to be used for one-time expenditures, if the governing board of the school district and the State Allocation Board have determined that the school district has no anticipated need for additional schoolsite or building construction for the 10-year period following the sale or lease with option to purchase, and the school district has no major deferred maintenance requirements. This bill would authorize a school district to deposit the proceeds from the lease or sale of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property, leased or purchased by a charter school, into the general fund of the school district. The bill would also authorize the school district to use the proceeds, as defined, for any one-time general fund purpose, as specified. The bill would make these authorizations contingent upon the governing board of the school district and the State Allocation Board having determined that the school district has no anticipated need for schoolsite construction, building construction, or major deferred maintenance projects for a 10-year period following the sale or lease of the surplus real property. The bill would provide that, notwithstanding such a determination by the State Allocation Board, a school district may apply for new construction or modernization funding if specified conditions are satisfied.(3)Existing law authorizes a school district to enter into leases and agreements relating to real property and buildings to be used jointly by the school district and any private person, firm, local governmental agency, or corporation, as specified. Existing law also requires that, before the governing board of a school district enters into a lease or agreement pursuant to this provision, it shall own a site upon which the building to be used by the school district and the private person, firm, local governmental agency, or corporation may be constructed, as specified.This bill would additionally require that, before the governing board of a school district enters into a lease or agreement pursuant to this provision, it shall first offer to lease or sell the real property or buildings to a charter school, as specified, except when the property is intended to be used in accordance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016. The bill would exempt from this requirement a lease or agreement that would be used solely to provide instructional programs that benefit pupils.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NOYES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

A locality shall remain eligible under this subparagraph until the departments determination for the next reporting period. A locality shall be subject to this subparagraph if it has not submitted an annual housing element report to the department pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400 for at least two consecutive years before the development submitted an application for approval under this section.(B)(4) The development is subject to a requirement mandating a minimum percentage of below market rate housing based on one of the following:(i)(A) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of above moderate-income housing approved housing affordable to households making above 120 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period. In addition, if the project contains more than 10 units of housing, the project seeking approval dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income. If the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 10 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, that zoning ordinance applies.(ii)(B) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, unless the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 50 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, in which case that ordinance applies.(C) The localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400 and reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making between 80 and 120 percent of the area median income issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units of housing affordable to households making below 120 percent of the area median income. (iii)(D) The locality did not submit its two latest production report reports to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or if either of the two latest production report reflects reports that were submitted reflect that there were fewer units of housing affordable to any both income level levels described in clause (i) or (ii) that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, the project seeking approval may choose between utilizing clause (i) or (ii). subparagraphs (A) or (B) than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period. In addition, if the project contains more than 10 units of housing, the project seeking approval dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income. If the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 10 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, that ordinance applies.(5) The development, excluding any additional density or any other concessions, incentives, or waivers of development standards granted pursuant to the Density Bonus Law in Section 65915, is consistent with objective zoning standards and objective design review standards in effect at the time that the development is submitted to the local government pursuant to this section.

Existing law requires, among other objective planning standards, that the development be subject to a minimum percentage of below market rate housing on the basis that the locality failed to submit its latest production report by the applicable time period, or that if the report was submitted, it reflects either that there were fewer units of above-moderate-income housing approved than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80% of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period and the project seeking approval meets specified requirements, or that there were fewer units of housing affordable to any of the previously described income levels that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, as specified.This bill would revise these provisions to provide that the development is subject to a minimum percentage of below market rate housing on the basis that the localitys latest production report was submitted to the department within the time provided, and reflects either that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making above 120% of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80% of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period and the project seeking approval meets specified requirements, or there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making between 80% and 120% of the area median income issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval meets specified requirements.

Under existing law, a charter school that is unable to locate within the jurisdiction of the chartering school district may, under specified circumstances, establish a site outside of the boundaries of the school district but within the county in which the school district is located. Existing law law required, until July 1, 2016, the governing board of a school district seeking to sell or lease real property designed to provide direct instruction or instructional support that the governing board deemed to be surplus property to first provide a written offer to sell or lease that property to any charter school that had submitted a written request to the school district to be notified of surplus real property offered by the school district for sale or lease, as specified.

The bill would limit the requirement to provide these written offers to only those charter schools that are operating as, or operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation and that are not located outside of the boundaries of the chartering school district pursuant to the provision applicable to a charter school unable to locate within the chartering school district. The bill would eliminate the specification that the real property deemed to be surplus real property must be designed to provide direct instruction or instructional support to be subject to the requirement to offer the property to eligible charter schools. The bill would require a charter school to complete school facilities construction, if any, and begin using the real property for direct instruction or instructional support within 5 years of the date the real property is made available to the charter school.
Existing law required, until July 1, 2016, that the price at which real property was sold to a charter school not exceed the school districts cost of acquisition, adjusted as specified, and provided that in no event shall the price be less than 25% of the fair market value of the real property or less than the amount necessary to retire the share of local bonded indebtedness plus the amount of the original cost of the approved state aid applications on the property.
This bill would reinstate this requirement and would increase the price at which a school district may sell real property to a charter school to no less than 75% of the fair market value of the real property for a school district that has requested an emergency apportionment or submitted a negative certification to the State Department of Education in the past 2 years and to no less than 50% of the fair market value of the real property for a school district that has submitted a qualified certification to the department in the past 2 years.
Existing law required, until July 1, 2016, a charter school selling real property obtained pursuant to the these provisions to use the proceeds only for capital outlay, maintenance, and other facility-related costs.
This bill would reinstate this requirement, revised to specify that the proceeds shall be used only for capital outlay, maintenance, and other school facility-related costs.
(2)Existing law authorizes the proceeds from the sale or lease with option to purchase of surplus real property owned by a school district to be deposited into the general fund of the school district, to be used for one-time expenditures, if the governing board of the school district and the State Allocation Board have determined that the school district has no anticipated need for additional schoolsite or building construction for the 10-year period following the sale or lease with option to purchase, and the school district has no major deferred maintenance requirements.
This bill would authorize a school district to deposit the proceeds from the lease or sale of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property, leased or purchased by a charter school, into the general fund of the school district. The bill would also authorize the school district to use the proceeds, as defined, for any one-time general fund purpose, as specified. The bill would make these authorizations contingent upon the governing board of the school district and the State Allocation Board having determined that the school district has no anticipated need for schoolsite construction, building construction, or major deferred maintenance projects for a 10-year period following the sale or lease of the surplus real property. The bill would provide that, notwithstanding such a determination by the State Allocation Board, a school district may apply for new construction or modernization funding if specified conditions are satisfied.
(3)Existing law authorizes a school district to enter into leases and agreements relating to real property and buildings to be used jointly by the school district and any private person, firm, local governmental agency, or corporation, as specified. Existing law also requires that, before the governing board of a school district enters into a lease or agreement pursuant to this provision, it shall own a site upon which the building to be used by the school district and the private person, firm, local governmental agency, or corporation may be constructed, as specified.
This bill would additionally require that, before the governing board of a school district enters into a lease or agreement pursuant to this provision, it shall first offer to lease or sell the real property or buildings to a charter school, as specified, except when the property is intended to be used in accordance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016. The bill would exempt from this requirement a lease or agreement that would be used solely to provide instructional programs that benefit pupils.

A locality shall remain eligible under this subparagraph until the departments determination for the next reporting period. A locality shall be subject to this subparagraph if it has not submitted an annual housing element report to the department pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400 for at least two consecutive years before the development submitted an application for approval under this section.(B)(4) The development is subject to a requirement mandating a minimum percentage of below market rate housing based on one of the following:(i)(A) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of above moderate-income housing approved housing affordable to households making above 120 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period. In addition, if the project contains more than 10 units of housing, the project seeking approval dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income. If the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 10 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, that zoning ordinance applies.(ii)(B) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, unless the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 50 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, in which case that ordinance applies.(C) The localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400 and reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making between 80 and 120 percent of the area median income issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units of housing affordable to households making below 120 percent of the area median income.

In addition, if the project contains more than 10 units of housing, the project seeking approval dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income. If the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 10 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, that ordinance applies.(5) The development, excluding any additional density or any other concessions, incentives, or waivers of development standards granted pursuant to the Density Bonus Law in Section 65915, is consistent with objective zoning standards and objective design review standards in effect at the time that the development is submitted to the local government pursuant to this section. For purposes of this paragraph, objective zoning standards and objective design review standards mean standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. These standards may be embodied in alternative objective land use specifications adopted by a city or county, and may include, but are not limited to, housing overlay zones, specific plans, inclusionary zoning ordinances, and density bonus ordinances, subject to the following:(A) A development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards related to housing density, as applicable, if the density proposed is compliant with the maximum density allowed within that land use designation, notwithstanding any specified maximum unit allocation that may result in fewer units of housing being permitted.(B) In the event that objective zoning, general plan, or design review standards are mutually inconsistent, a development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards pursuant to this subdivision if the development is consistent with the standards set forth in the general plan.(6) The development is not located on a site that is any of the following:(A) A coastal zone, as defined in Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code.(B) Either prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance, as defined pursuant to United States Department of Agriculture land inventory and monitoring criteria, as modified for California, and designated on the maps prepared by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the Department of Conservation, or land zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation by a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of that jurisdiction.(C) Wetlands, as defined in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Manual, Part 660 FW 2 (June 21, 1993).(D) Within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as determined by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Section 51178, or within a high or very high fire hazard severity zone as indicated on maps adopted by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Section 4202 of the Public Resources Code.

Penalties may be assessed by the Labor Commissioner within 18 months of completion of the development using the same procedures for issuance of civil wage and penalty assessments pursuant to Section 1741 of the Labor Code, and may be reviewed pursuant to the same procedures in Section 1742 of the Labor Code. Penalties shall be paid to the State Public Works Enforcement Fund.(IV) Subclause (III) shall not apply if all contractors and subcontractors performing work on the development are subject to a project labor agreement that requires compliance with the skilled and trained workforce requirement and provides for enforcement of that obligation through an arbitration procedure.

A locality shall remain eligible under this subparagraph until the departments determination for the next reporting period. A locality shall be subject to this subparagraph if it has not submitted an annual housing element report to the department pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400 for at least two consecutive years before the development submitted an application for approval under this section.(B)(4) The development is subject to a requirement mandating a minimum percentage of below market rate housing based on one of the following:(i)(A) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of above moderate-income housing approved housing affordable to households making above 120 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period. In addition, if the project contains more than 10 units of housing, the project seeking approval dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income. If the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 10 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, that zoning ordinance applies.(ii)(B) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, unless the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 50 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, in which case that ordinance applies.(C) The localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400 and reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making between 80 and 120 percent of the area median income issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units of housing affordable to households making below 120 percent of the area median income.

A locality shall remain eligible under this subparagraph until the departments determination for the next reporting period. A locality shall be subject to this subparagraph if it has not submitted an annual housing element report to the department pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400 for at least two consecutive years before the development submitted an application for approval under this section.(B)(4) The development is subject to a requirement mandating a minimum percentage of below market rate housing based on one of the following:(i)(A) The locality did not submit its latest localitys production report was submitted to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report and reflects that there were fewer units of above moderate-income housing approved housing affordable to households making above 120 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period. In addition, if the project contains more than 10 units of housing, the project seeking approval dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income.
