Surplus Lands Rules for Mission Bay Park
This proposed law would treat land in San Diego's Mission Bay Park as 'exempt surplus land,' requiring the city to notify state officials and deposit sale funds into a housing account before selling or transferring it.
What This Bill Does
- Expands the definition of 'exempt surplus land' to include lands that make up Mission Bay Park in San Diego.
- Requires the City of San Diego to send written notice to the Department of Housing and Community Development at least 30 days before disposing of this land, including details on findings and property restrictions.
- Mandates that funds from selling or transferring these lands be deposited into a local housing-specific set-aside account.
- Requires legal covenants or restrictions regarding these rules to be recorded against the property at the time it is sold or transferred.
- States that breaking these specific provisions would count as a second violation, subjecting the city to higher penalties under existing law.
