	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 944, Torres. Surplus state property.
   Existing law requires the Department of General Services to
dispose of surplus state real property in a specified manner,
including, but not limited to, prescribing the priority of
disposition of the property before the department offers it for sale
to private entities or individuals. Existing law declares that the
provision of decent housing for all Californians is a state goal of
the highest priority and that priority be given to the disposal of
surplus state real property to housing for persons and families of
low or moderate income. Existing law requires a local agency or
nonprofit affordable housing sponsor, in order to be considered as a
potential priority buyer of certain surplus state real property, as
defined, to, among other things, demonstrate, to the satisfaction of
the department, that the surplus state real property, or a portion of
that surplus state real property, is to be used by the local agency
or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for open space, public parks,
affordable housing projects, development of projects that create
sustainable employment opportunities of benefit to the area and
region where the property is located, or development of local
government-owned facilities.
   This bill would require a local agency or nonprofit affordable
housing sponsor that wishes to be considered a priority buyer of the
state real property known as Lanterman Developmental Center, located
in Pomona, Los Angeles County, which has been declared to be surplus
state real property, to additionally demonstrate to the department
that the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor will
use the property for the development of projects that create
sustainable employment opportunities of benefit to the area and
region where the property is located.
   This bill would, notwithstanding any other law, additionally
prohibit that property from being prezoned, zoned, or rezoned unless
the Department of General Services requests that the property be
rezoned or approves the rezoning of the property.
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the Lanterman Developmental
Center.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11011.6 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   11011.6.  Any local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor
that wishes to be considered a priority buyer of the state real
property known as Lanterman Developmental Center, located at 3530
Pomona Boulevard in Pomona, Los Angeles County, which has been
declared to be surplus state real property pursuant to Section 11011,
shall, in addition to the requirements of Section 11011.1,
demonstrate to the department that the property, or a portion of that
property, will be used by the local agency or nonprofit affordable
housing sponsor for the development of projects that create
sustainable employment opportunities of benefit to the area and
region in which the property is located.
   (b) Notwithstanding any other law, the state real property known
as Lanterman Developmental Center, located at 3530 Pomona Boulevard
in Pomona, Los Angeles County, which has been declared to be surplus
state real property pursuant to Section 11011, shall not be prezoned,
zoned, or rezoned unless the Department of General Services requests
that the property be rezoned or approves the rezoning of the
property.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique circumstances applicable to the development of
the Lanterman Developmental Center property and the need to ensure
that the property is zoned in a manner that is consistent with the
long-term interests of the surrounding area and region.
