Sacramento
Prop 1C Bills - Stop and Go
The Assembly Housing Committee Chair
Lori Saldaña announced last week that the Prop 1C implementation bills would
become two year bills. However, as Senators Perata and Dutton amended
their bills and Senator Lowenthal scheduled them for hearing next week in
Senate Transportation and Housing, rumor has it that the Assembly may have a
change of heart.
Senator Dutton (R-Cucamonga) amended
his SB
586 to allocate the $100 million Innovation Fund: $ 50 million for the
revolving development/acquisition short term loan program; $35 million for
local housing trust matches; $10 million for mobilehome park resident
ownership; and $5 million for the Construction Liability Insurance Reform
Pilot Program proposed under AB 792.
Senate pro tem Perata (D-Alameda),
amended his SB
46 this week to flesh out the $850 million Regional Planning, Housing and
Infill Incentive Program. SB 46, it is a compromise among housing advocates,
non-profit developers, and environmentalists, with some of the features from
the Department of Housing. Key policy decisions in SB 46 allow funds to be
used for housing, instead of only infrastructure; establish a 15%
affordability threshold; require the "Mullin" minimum density threshold; and
define project ranking criteria.
