LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1079, as introduced, Skinner. Residential property warehousing.The California Constitution permits private property to be taken or damaged for public use only when just compensation is paid. Existing law, the Eminent Domain Law, prescribes how that constitutionally authorized power may be exercised and permits that exercise only for a public use.This bill would authorize a city, county, or city and county to acquire a residential property within its jurisdiction by eminent domain if the property has been vacant for at least 90 days, the property is owned by a corporation or a limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation, and the local agency provides just compensation to the owner based on the lowest assessment obtained for the property by the local agency. The bill would require the local agency that obtains residential property pursuant to these provisions to maintain the property and make the property available at affordable rent to persons and families of low or moderate income or sell it to a community land trust or housing sponsor, as specified.The California Constitution authorizes cities to make and enforce within their limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws, and further authorizes cities organized under a charter to make and enforce all ordinances and regulations in respect to municipal affairs, which supersede inconsistent general laws.This bill would authorize a local agency to adopt an ordinance that imposes a civil penalty in an unspecified amount on an owner of residential property located within its jurisdiction if the residential property has been vacant for at least 90 calendar days and the property is owned by a corporation or a limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation. The bill would require the local agency to earmark and use the moneys collected from the civil penalty for homeless diversion, rental assistance, and other affordable housing purposes.This bill would require a corporation that owns residential property that has been vacant for at least 90 consecutive days to, before offering the residential real property for sale on the open market, offer that property to a community land trust, or housing sponsor, referred to collectively as priority entities, before offering the residential real property for sale on the open market. The bill would require that a priority entity provide a notice of interest within five business days of receiving an offer or of receiving a specified notice, as applicable, and to make an offer for purchase within 90 calendar days. If the seller determines that the offer is a competitive offer, as defined, the bill would require the seller to accept that offer and sell the residential real property to the priority entity.Existing law specifies the procedure for the foreclosure of a mortgage or deed of trust secured by real property or an estate for years by judicial action. Under existing law, in an action for the recovery of any debt or enforcement of any right secured by a mortgage, the court may direct the sale of the encumbered real property or estate for years and order the proceeds applied to the payment of court costs, the expenses of levy and sale, and the amount due to the plaintiff, as provided.This bill, if the court directs the sale of encumbered property pursuant to these provisions to recover a debt or enforce a right secured by mortgage upon a residential real property, as defined, would require the mortgagee to offer that property, first, to any tenant or association of tenants currently occupying the property and, second, to a city, county, community land trust, or housing sponsor, referred to collectively as priority entities, before offering the residential real property for sale on the open market. The bill would require that a tenant, association of tenants, or priority entity provide a notice of interest within five business days of receiving an offer or of receiving a specified notice, as applicable, and to make an offer for purchase within 90 calendar days. If the mortgagee determines that the offer is a competitive offer, as defined, the bill would require the mortgagee to accept that offer and sell the residential real property to the tenant, association of tenants, or priority entity.
