FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND

GOT HERE FIRST, RIGHT FROM MY
VISUAL CUE OR DO WE HAVE SOMEONE
ELSE THAT'S SIGNED IN. MR
BLAIR'S WHO'S NOT HERE. SO LET'S
WELCOME MISS FRIEDMAN WITH A B
12 95. GOOD MORNING, MADAM
CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AND
YOUR FOR YOU AND YOUR COMMITTEE
STAFF ARE WORKING ON THE BILL.
I'M GOING TO ACCEPT THIS
SUGGESTED CLARIFYING COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS, AS OUTLINED ON PAGE
FOUR OF THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE, NON
CONTROVERSIAL BILL. WE KNOW THAT
THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IN
CALIFORNIA ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT
$30 BILLION BETWEEN STATE AND
LOCAL FUNDS AND REPRESENTS ABOUT
40% OF THE STATE'S GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS. BUT ONLY ABOUT 2%
OF THAT FUNDING ALIGNS WITH THE
STATE'S CLIMATE GOALS. UNLIKE
OTHER STATE PROGRAMS, FUNDING
ALLOCATED BY THE STRATEGIC
GROWTH COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS THROUGH FEWER
AND SHORTER VEHICLE TRIPS,
INTEGRATED LAND USE AND
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
SUPPORTING LOW CARBON OPTIONS. A
B 12 95 SIMPLY REQUIRE SUCH
CALIFORNIA STRATEGIC GROWTH
COUNCIL TO CREATE A MAP OF
AWARDED PROJECTS FOR THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ON A PUBLIC
PLATFORM SO THAT THE PUBLIC HAS
TRANSPARENCY ABOUT WHERE THEIR
TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT. THE
MAP WILL INCLUDE THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING COMPONENT OF THE
PROJECTS AND A DESCRIPTION OF
ALL COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT.
THIS PROGRAM REPRESENTS A MODEL
FOR HOW THE STATE CAN BUILD
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION AND
HOUSING PROJECTS. AND WE THINK
THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW WHAT THAT
ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN
PRACTICALITY AS TARIFFS AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. IT'S
MY GOAL TO ALIGN TRANSPORTATION
WITH OUR HOUSING AND CLIMATE
GOALS. AND THIS BILL IS A SMALL,
BUT I BELIEVE IMPORTANT STEP TO
SHOW WHERE THE STATE'S MOST
CLIMATE FRIENDLY INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS ARE LOCATED. WITH THAT
I WOULD REQUEST AN AYE. VOTE
THANK YOU, AND YOU HAVE PRIMARY
WITNESSES TO TESTIFY AND SUPPORT
ADDITIONAL FOLKS IN THE ROOM
LIKE TO REGISTER SUPPORT. ANY UH
PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION. ANYONE IN THE ROOM
LIKE TO REGISTER OPPOSITION. WE
WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS. OH

CAN COUNT TO FIVE. OKAY. COULD

PRESENTING A B 14 90? YES.
THANKS MOTION. THANK YOU. CHAIR
MEMBERS. I WANT TO FIRST THANK
THE COMMITTEE SET FOR THEIR HARD
WORK ON THIS BILL AND WORKING ON
THE AMENDMENTS WITH US ON THIS
BILL, UM, ALSO HAVE TO EXPRESS
THAT I DID NOT TO SPEAK TO MOVE
SO EFFICIENTLY AND SPEEDILY. SO
MY WITNESSES STILL ON HIS WAY.
SO MAYBE IF YOU'LL ALLOW HIM TO
TESTIFY A LITTLE LATER, HE'S
STILL ON HIS WAY HERE. BUT
SPEAKING OF DOING IT EFFICIENTLY
JUDICIOUSLY, MAYBE 14 90 PRIDE
INCENTIVES TO ADAPTIVE REUSE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS THAT
MEET CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS,
SUCH AS EXPEDITED REVIEW PROCESS
ADAPTIVE REUSES WHEN WE
REPURPOSE AN EXISTING BUILDING
TO CREATE HOW HOUSING AS THE
GOVERNOR DID WITH PROJECT ROOM
KEY. THE AVERAGE HOUSING
CONSTRUCTION COST IS OVER. THERE
WE GO OVER IS OVER $750,000 IN
SAN FRANCISCO, ACCORDING TO NEW
YORK TIMES AND ADAPTIVE REUSE
ALLOWS US TO CREATE HOUSING AT A
MUCH LOWER COSTS. TIMING IS
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE. NEW
CONSTRUCTION, AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. NEW CONSTRUCTION OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TAKES 2 TO 3
YEARS TO COMPLETE WHILE ADAPTIVE
RE USE OF EXISTING BUILDING
GENERALLY TAKES LESS THAN A
YEAR. WITH HIGH HOMELESSNESS
RATES AND HIGH HOUSING COSTS. IN
CALIFORNIA. WE NEED THE TOOLS TO
ENSURE ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECTS
DO NOT FACE UNNECESSARY BURDENS
WITH THAT. I'D LIKE TO REDUCE MY
WITNESS AND SUPPORT RAND MARTIN
FROM THE AIDS HEALTHCARE
FOUNDATION. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE
TWO MINUTES. THANK YOU. LET ME
CATCH MY BREATH. A SECOND RAND
MARTIN ON BEHALF OF THE AIDS
HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION. MANY OF
YOU KNOW THAT FIVE YEARS AGO, HF
EMBARKED ON A HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT. PROGRAM THEY
CURRENTLY HAVE 1425 UNITS ACROSS
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE EXTREMELY AND
VERY LOW INCOME WHO ARE PAYING
RENT ABOUT 4 TO $600 A MONTH,
WHICH IS UNHEARD OF IN THE CITY
OF LOS ANGELES. UM THEY HAVE
DONE THIS THROUGH ADAPTIVE REUSE
ALL 14 OF THEIR PROJECTS
CURRENTLY AND ONES THAT ARE
COMING ONLINE. OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF YEARS ARE ALL EXISTING
HOTELS AND MOTELS THAT THEY WENT
IN, SPENT ABOUT $100,000 PER
DOOR AND CREATED DECENT LIVING
ARRANGEMENTS FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE
EITHER HOMELESS OR LIVING IN
SUBSTANDARD HOUSING. UM THEY
HAVE. IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL
, AND THEY'RE VERY PLEASED AND
PROUD OF WHAT THEY'VE
ACCOMPLISHED. BUT THEY THEY DO
HAVE CHALLENGES AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL IN TERMS OF GETTING THESE
THINGS DONE FOR THE LOWER COST
THAT THEY ANTICIPATE, AS WELL AS
IN THE SHORT TIME LINES THAT MR
LEE WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT. UM,
AND PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT
MANY CITIES LOS ANGELES BEING A
PRIME EXAMPLE SINCE THAT'S OUR
HOME CITY, UM, ARE NOT QUITE
ACCOMMODATING OF ADAPTIVE REUSE
THE WAY THAT WE THINK THEY
SHOULD BE. AND WHAT THIS BILL
SEEKS TO DO IS TO TRY AND
STREAMLINE EFFORTS SO THAT WE
CAN GET THESE THINGS UP AND
RUNNING. UM WITH THE COST
REDUCTIONS THAT WE ANTICIPATE
BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF HOUSING
AND IN THE TIME THAT WE WANT
DOING IT IN HERE IN A YEAR OR
LESS INSTEAD OF TWO OR THREE
YEARS FOR GROUND UP,
CONSTRUCTION REALLY GETS ROOFS
OVER THE HEADS OF PEOPLE WHO
REALLY NEED THEM. NOW WE THINK
THESE ARE ALL MODEST CHANGES. WE
HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANYTHING
OUTRAGEOUS. THERE ARE SOME
THINGS THAT WE STILL WOULD LIKE
TO SEE ADDRESS THAT ARE NOT
ADDRESSED IN THIS BILL THAT ARE
MORE COMPLICATED, LIKE PERMIT
FEES IN SOME CASES, COSTING US
$2 MILLION FOR A PROJECT WHICH
IS REALLY REALLY DOES UNDERMINE
OUR ABILITY TO DO IT IN A COST
EFFECTIVE WAY, REALLY APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE AND
MR WERTHEIM IN GETTING THIS BILL
IN IN GOOD SHAPE, AND WE WOULD
APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT TODAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND, UH, ANY OTHER FOLKS IN THE
AUDIENCE WANT TO EXPRESS
SUPPORT? ANY PRIMARY WITNESSES
AND OPPOSITION.
CONVERSATION. AMENDMENTS TO
EXPAND THE PROPOSED SEQUEL
EXEMPTION FOR 100% AFFORDABLE
ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECTS TO ALSO
INCLUDE ENTRY LEVEL MARKET RATE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, INTENDED
FOR OWNER OCCUPANCY BY OUR
STATE'S LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
FAMILIES SEEKING TO OBTAIN
HOMEOWNERSHIP AS OUR STATES
WORKING FAMILIES. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER FOLKS IN
OPPOSITION? OKAY, WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. MR
CHOLERA? AYE. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR. I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD
PARTICULARLY LIKE I MEAN, AS
OBVIOUSLY AUTHOR KNOWS THE CITY
OF SOUNDS THEY HAS BEEN DOING
AND I THINK A LOT OF OTHER
BIGGER CITIES HAVE BEEN DOING
WITH SUCCESS. SLOWLY ADOPTED. WE
USED UM PARTICULARLY FOR, UM,
FOR THE IN HOUSE AND FOR RAPID
REHOUSING. WHAT HAVE YOU BUT I
LIKE THIS AS A LONG TERM. UM FOR
THE LONG TERM EFFORTS,
PARTICULARLY THE FACT THAT 50%
OUR RESERVES ARE VERY LOW INCOME
. OFTENTIMES WE DO LOOK LOW
INCOME AND WE KNOW LOW INCOME IN
A LOT OF OUR JURISDICTIONS. YOU
CAN STILL MAKE 1,900,000 YEAR
HAVING THAT DEDICATED VERY LOW
INCOME. UM HALF 50% DEDICATED
FOR THAT, I THINK IS REALLY
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT,
IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS
LEGISLATION. I WOULD LOVE TO BE
ADDED ON AS CO AUTHOR. WELL,
THANK YOU. CREATE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS. MR SUBURB, SAID ONE
QUESTION. JUST CURIOUS OF WHAT
THE AUTHOR AND THE WITNESS THINK
ABOUT THE, UM THE REALTOR
SUGGESTION OF EXPANDING THIS TO
FOR PURCHASE HOUSING. WHAT DO
YOU THINK THE PROS AND CONS OF
THAT ARE AND WHETHER YOU
CONSIDERED IT I THINK IT'S A
INTERESTING NOTION, SOMETHING WE
HAVE TO DISCUSS MORE ABOUT.
THEY'VE RAISED THIS ISSUE IN
YEARS, PAST AND OTHER BILLS. WE
CONTINUE TO CONSIDER THAT AS AN
OPTION. UM WE DO ANTICIPATE
CHANGES WHEN THE BILL IS HEARD
IN, UH, MORE REFORMS WHEN WE
WHEN THE BILL IS HURTING LOCAL
GOVERNMENT NEXT WEEK, UM SO I
KNOW THAT SEQUEL IS ON THE ON
THE AGENDA FOR THAT
CONVERSATION. I MEAN, I THINK I
THINK YOU KNOW, FOLKS BUILD
WEALTH THROUGH HOMEOWNERSHIP.
AND IF IT'S FOCUSED ON LOW
INCOME FOLKS, THAT'S A GOOD
THING. I JUST CURIOUS ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK THAT
THAT RAISES OPPOSITION THAT THIS
BILL DOESN'T UM, BUT ANYWAY,
GLAD YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT.
I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL. I
THINK IT'S A GREAT BILL. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MR
PATTERSON, AND BY THE WAY, FOLKS
COULD SPEAK REALLY INTO THE MIC
BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE GREAT I'M
GONNA HAVE A HEADACHE. BY THE
TIME THIS HEARING ME TO, UM SO
IN TERMS OF IF A PROJECT COMES
FORWARD, UM TO A CITY. ON
ADAPTIVE REUSE, WHICH, BY THE
WAY, I THINK IS GREAT IN A LOT
OF AREAS, UM WHAT KIND OF
CONTROL DOES THE CITY WOULD? IF
THIS BILL PASSED? WOULD THE CITY
HAVE OVER IT? OBVIOUSLY A WAVES
, THE SEQUEL REQUIREMENTS AND
THINGS AND, YOU KNOW, EXPEDITES
30 DAY REVIEW TO GRANT
ENTITLEMENTS, BUT IF THIS BILL
WERE TO PASS, AND THERE'S A YOU
KNOW, CRUMMY SHOPPING MALL THAT
WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE A
CRUMMY SHOPPING FAILING SHOPPING
MALL. DOES THAT NOT ALLOW THE
CITY DOES THE CITY HAVE TO TAKE
ANY ACTION TO REZONE IT? OR
COULD IT BE MIXED USE? I'M JUST
WONDERING, DOES THIS TOTALLY
CIRCUMVENT AH LOCAL LAND USE
DECISION WHEN THERE'S ADAPTIVE
REUSE LOCAL CONTROL ASPECT OF
IT. WE ARE GOING TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE IN THE NEXT
COMMITTEE AND WE'RE WORKING OUT
SOME OF THOSE AMENDMENTS. BUT
IT'S NOT THE IDEAS COMPLETE,
CIRCUMVENT THINGS. JUST SPEED IT
UP AND PREVENT. REDUCE HURDLES.
RANDY YEAH? I MEAN, PERSONALLY,
UH, PHILOSOPHICALLY, YOU KNOW,
I'M STILL KIND OF DEBATING THAT
HOW MUCH LOCAL CONTROL I'M OK TO
GIVE UP. YOU KNOW, I THINK, UM
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'VE SEEN IN
MY OWN CITY ON THE CITY COUNCIL
THAT I'VE STAYED ON HIM. AND WE
JUST ONE OF THE LAST PROJECTS I
APPROVED WAS 100% AFFORDABLE
COMPLEX IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN
THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT TOOK
WAS RIDICULOUS ON A PROJECT THAT
THE CITY ACTUALLY WANTED, YOU
KNOW, AND IT STILL TOOK WAY TOO
LONG. AND I DON'T I DON'T THINK
WE WAVED OUR FEES. YOU KNOW, WE
DID A LOT OF THOSE THINGS, BUT
UM, BUT I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF QUESTIONS ABOUT BECAUSE THE
CITY THAT I'M FROM BASICALLY
WE'RE THE ONLY CITY THAT IS KIND
OF QUOTE UNQUOTE BUILT OUT.
WE'RE TOTALLY SURROUNDED BY
OTHER JURISDICTIONS. AND IT
MAKES THAT PARTICULAR CITY
ANTICOMPETITIVE FROM OTHER
CITIES THAT CAN CONTINUE TO SORT
OF BUILD OUT, BUILD OUT, BUILD
OUT. AND SO I'M CONCERNED AND
SORT OF A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE
HERE THAT OF COURSE, IF A
PROPERTY OWNER HAS A FAILING,
YOU KNOW, SHOPPING MALL OR YOU
KNOW, STRIP MALL OR WHATEVER
THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO TAKE THE
OPTION. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE
BUT FOR A CITY THAT HAS LIMITED
REVENUE ABILITIES TO GROW AND
EXPAND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT I
GET A LITTLE BIT UNEASY ABOUT
IT. SO UM SO I'M NOT REALLY A
BUT YOU KNOW POSED TO THIS. I
THINK IT'S A VERY INTERESTING
CONCEPT. I MIGHT LAY OFF TODAY
JUST BECAUSE I'M I WANT TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS
ARE ON KEEPING SOME CONTROL. YOU
KNOW, LOCALLY, UM BUT I THINK
YOUR CONCEPT IS IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. AND I APPRECIATE THAT
. SO RIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOUR
FEEDBACK ON A SIMILAR IN
PATERSON. I THINK BY THE TIME WE
GET TO THE FLOOR, HOPEFULLY IT
WILL HAVE A LOT MORE INPUT ABOUT
LOCAL CONTROL WHEN IT GETS TO
YOU SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE
FINAL VERSION. WHEN I GET TO SEE
YOU ON THE FLOOR, TOO. SO YEAH.
YEAH. AND I HOPE TO SPEAK IN
FAVOR OF IT ON THE FLOOR, YOU
KNOW? SO UM, THANKS FOR WORKING
ON THIS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO
WORKING ON MORE ITEMS WITH YOU.
GREAT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS OR COMMENTS I
BELIEVE WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR
CHOLERA. IS THAT RIGHT? AWARD.
BUT YOU'RE THE SECOND. OKAY
MOTION BY MR WARD A SECOND BY MR
CHOLERA ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS? OKAY. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE MR LEE? I
THINK THAT ADAPTIVE REUSE IS ONE
OF THOSE GREAT POTENTIALS WHERE
WE CAN USE IN TWO YEARS. THESE
ARE OPPORTUNITIES OF INFILL
STRUCTURES WE CAN READ. USE THEM
, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE
MOST NEED. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE
SOLUTIONS OUT THERE. WE NEED TO
BE PRIORITIZING AND RESPECTFULLY
ANSWER. I VOTE. APPRECIATE YOUR
WORK IN THIS SPACE, MR LEAN AS A
SUPPORTER OF STREAMLINING,
PARTICULARLY 100% AFFORDABLE
PROJECTS. UM UH, PROUD TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY. I KNOW
ADAPTIVE REUSE ISN'T THE PANACEA
THAT WE ALL WANTED TO BE? BUT IT
CERTAINLY IS A PART OF THE
SOLUTION WHICH WE WANT TO
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT. SO WITH
THAT I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE
BILL. AND THE MOTION IS DO YOU
PASS TO THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE
ON LOCAL GOV. WEEKS I PATERSON.
NOT VOTING. CARILLO. ZIPPER
ZIPPER? AYE. CHOLERA CHOLERA. I
QUIRK-SILVA. HOAX SILVER I.
SANCHEZ SANCHEZ, NO. WARD WARD.
AYE. IT'S A 45. THAT BILL IS OUT
, AND WE WILL LET FOLKS ADD ON.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND NEXT
WE HAVE MISTER VALENCIA, WHO
WILL BE PRESENTING A B 648.
ONE OF THE YES MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. I WANT TO START BY
THANKING THE COMMITTEE TEAM FOR
DILIGENTLY WORKING ON A B 6 48.
ADDITIONALLY I WOULD ALSO LIKE
TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR TEAMS
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR NATALIE
TEHRAN WHO'S WITH US IN THE
AUDIENCE FOR HER EFFORTS ON THIS
BILL, AS WELL, UH AND I'D LIKE
TO ALSO STATE THAT I WILL BE
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AS DESCRIBED IN THE
ANALYSIS. A B 6 48 WILL INCREASE
ACCESSIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION
MEETINGS BY ALLOWING THESE
MEETINGS TO TAKE PLACE BY
TELECONFERENCE. THE BILL DOES
NOT MANDATE TELECONFERENCE
MEETINGS BUT RATHER CREATES AN
ADDITIONAL OPTION FOR MEMBERS TO
PARTICIPATE THROUGH. 86 48
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
THAT ENSURE ADVANCED POSTING OF
MEETING NOTICES CLEAR
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO
PARTICIPATE AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE. THE COVID PANDEMIC
DEMONSTRATED THAT MEETINGS CAN
SUCCESSFULLY TAKE PLACE REMOTELY
, IN FACT, ASSOCIATION'S REPORT
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE
ASSOCIATION'S REPORT SIGNIFICANT
INCREASES IN PARTICIPATION WHEN
MEMBERS ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE
REMOTELY. RATHER THAN IN PERSON
. OFTEN WORKING INDIVIDUALS ARE
THOSE WHO ARE LEFT OUT OF
PARTICIPATING BECAUSE THEY ARE
UNABLE TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT.
ALL HOMEOWNERS DESERVE A CHANCE
TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
MEETINGS AND HAVE THEIR VOICES
HEARD WITH ME THIS MORNING TO
TESTIFY IS MISS KELLY'S BELL.
SHE IS A HOMEOWNER IN AN H O A
AND A COMMUNITY MANAGER. AND IN
ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE MR
LOUIS BROWN, WHO WAS AVAILABLE
FOR ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
LET'S KEEP THIS UP, BUT MY NAME
IS KELLY ISABEL. I HAVE LIVED IN
A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. SINCE
2016. I'VE SERVED ON ITS BOARD
SINCE 2017 AND I'VE MANAGED
COMMUNITIES FOR APPROXIMATELY 20
YEARS. I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF A B 6 48. FOR MANY
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA HOLDING MEETINGS CAN
BE VERY COSTLY. SOMETIMES THERE
ISN'T A PHYSICAL LOCATION FOR
THE HOMEOWNER AND BOARD MEMBERS
TO MEET AND CONDUCT BUSINESS.
THIS REQUIRES THEM TO HOLD
MEETINGS BY RENTING ANOTHER
SPACE, ADDING TO THE COST OF
OPERATING THE ASSOCIATION. IN
ADDITION, HOMEOWNERS MUST TRAVEL
TO ANOTHER LOCATION FOR THE
MEETING. ADDING TO THE BURDEN OF
PARTICIPATING IN THE
ASSOCIATION'S BUSINESS. ALLOWING
THE OPTION TO HAVE MEETINGS VIA
TELE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE PROVIDES
A LOW COST OPTION FOR BOTH
OWNERS AND BOARD MEMBERS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
. IN MY EXPERIENCE, A LARGER AND
MORE DIVERSE GROUP HOMEOWNERS
ATTEND THE BOARD MEETINGS
VOLUNTEER TO SERVE ON THE BOARD
OR A COMMITTEE WHEN THERE IS A
OPTION TO ATTEND VIA ELECTRONIC
MEANS. HOMEOWNERS WITH MOBILITY
ISSUES OR THOSE WITH FAMILY
COMMITMENTS AT HOME, FIND IT
EASIER TO ATTEND AN ELECTRONIC
MEETING THAN THOSE HELD IN
PERSON. WE HAVE SEEN MORE OWNERS
PARTICIPATING IN MEETINGS AND
VOLUNTEERING FOR BORDER
COMMITTEE POSITIONS SINCE
INCREASING THE USAGE OF VIRTUAL
MEETINGS. DOCUMENTS RELATED TO
THE MEETING AGENDA ITEMS CAN BE
SHARED EASILY. ALSO CUTTING DOWN
ON PRINTING COSTS FOR
ASSOCIATIONS ASSOCIATIONS HAVE
FACED SIGNIFICANT COST INCREASES
IN RECENT YEARS, PARTICULARLY IN
THE AREAS OF UTILITIES AND
INSURANCE, EXPANDING ACCESS TO
TECHNOLOGY FOR HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATIONS WILL ALLOW THEM TO
CONTINUE TO SERVE THEIR MEMBERS
AND KEEP OPERATING COSTS LOW.
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PASS
THIS LEGISLATION AS IT ALLOWS ME
AND MANY OTHER OWNERS IN OUR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE GOVERNANCE OF
OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. I'M
AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK
YOU. MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE, LOUIS BROWN TODAY ON
BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATIONS INSTITUTE,
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE ACTION
COMMITTEE, CO SPONSOR OF THE
BILL IN AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT
COME FROM THE COMMITTEE. WE
ASKED FOR MY VOTE. THANK YOU AND
OTHER FOLKS LIKE TO EXPRESS
SUPPORT. MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS
JENNIFER WADA ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
COMMUNITY MANAGERS, A CO SPONSOR
OF THE BILL AND SUPPORT THANK
YOU ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IN
THE ROOM. PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION.
GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. I'M
MARJORIE MURRAY CENTER FOR
CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION
LAW. AH I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR
CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL.
HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS HAVE
ACTUALLY HAD THE RIGHT FOR MANY
YEARS SINCE 2011 TO HOLD
TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS OR
VIDEOCONFERENCE OR MEETINGS BY
PHONE. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH A
SENATE HOUSING COMMITTEE BILL IN
2011. HOWEVER THERE WAS ONE
CONDITION ATTACHED TO THE
STATUTE AND THAT IS THAT THERE
BE A PHYSICAL LOCATION WHERE ONE
BOARD DIRECTOR WAS PRESENT AND
WE'RE HOMEOWNERS COULD ASSEMBLE
THIS PHYSICAL LOCATION
REQUIREMENT GOT SUSPENDED DURING
THE PANDEMIC FOR WHAT IS
PROBABLY AN OBVIOUS REASON TO
YOU. THAT IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA
FOR HOMEOWNERS TO CONGREGATE,
THUS INCREASING THE RISK OF
SPREADING THE VIRUS. ALONG WITH
CITY COUNCILS AND THE AND THE
LEGISLATURE ITSELF HOMEOWNER
ASSOCIATIONS AS GOVERNMENTS WERE
GIVEN SPECIFIC PERMISSION TO
MEET VIRTUALLY SO, MEETING BY
ZOOM OR GOOGLE BECAME THE NORM.
WHAT HAS GOTTEN GLOSSED OVER,
ALTHOUGH IT'S MENTIONED IN THE
ANALYSIS, UH, IS THE FACT THAT
CELL PHONE SERVICE AND
VIDEOCONFERENCING IS NOT
AVAILABLE IN TWO THIRDS OF
CALIFORNIA. JUST TALK TO THE
SUPERVISORS AND CITY COUNCILS IN
THE RURAL 37 RURAL COUNTIES AND
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES. OF CALIFORNIA
, UH, TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS LIKE. I
MEAN, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS, UH,
DESIGNATED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS TO TRY TO COLLECT
CORRECT WHAT IS CALLED THE
DIGITAL DIVIDE. SOME WOULD SAY
DIGITAL ABYSS. IN OTHER WORDS,
THE LEGISLATION IS PERMITTING
SOMETHING WHICH IS NOT
TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA, SO THEY GOALS SET
OUT IN THE FACT SHEET THAT
HOMEOWNERS BE ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE. IT'S A NOBLE GOAL,
BUT IT IS NOT ONE THAT
NECESSARILY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. OF PART,
LACK OF PARTICIPATION AND THE
FAILURE OF INFRASTRUCTURE. WE
HAVE OFFERED AN AMENDMENT THAT
BOARD MEETING TO BE RECORDED AND
ARCHIVED SO THAT MEMBERS AS WELL
AS BOARD DIRECTORS WHO ARE
ABSENT FROM MEETINGS CAN ACCESS
THOSE RECORDS. FURTHERMORE THAT
THOSE MEETING RECORDS SHOULD BE
IDENTIFIED AS ASSOCIATION
RECORDS UNDER CIVIL CODE 5200.
AND LEGALLY ACCESSIBLE BY BOTH
MEMBERS AND BOARD DIRECTORS. THE
AUTHORS OFFICE HAS OUR AMENDMENT
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASK THAT
IT BE INCORPORATED INTO THE BILL
. THE FACT SHEET SAYS THE
LEGISLATION WILL PROMOTE
TRANSPARENCY INBOARD OPERATIONS
AGAIN UP LIKE YES, AGAIN, A
NOBLE AIM. AND PRESERVING THE
MEETINGS AS ASSOCIATION RECORDS
WILL MAKE SURE THAT TRANSPARENCY
BECOMES A REALITY. SO FOR THE
MOMENT WE ASK THAT THIS BILL NOT
BE PASSED OR BE PASSED WITH THE
RECOMMENDATION THAT THESE
AMENDMENTS BE INCORPORATED.
THANK YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
TESTIFY AS WELL? YES. YOU'RE
THANK YOU IF YOU GET CLOSE TO
THE MIC GOOD MORNING. UM MY NAME
IS MIKE JOHNSON. I'M A TRIAL
ATTORNEY. I'VE BEEN DOING PRO
BONO WORK WITH MURDERING
MURRAY'S CENTER. UM CLOSE TO 30
YEARS. I THINK AT FIRST GOT
INVOLVED WHEN UM HOMEOWNER
ASSOCIATION ATTEMPTED TO
FORECLOSE. ON A GENTLEMAN WHO
OWNED THIS PROPERTY OUTRIGHT.
UM, BECAUSE HE WAS DELINQUENT IN
DUES TO THE TOTAL SUM OF ABOUT
$1000. AND FORTUNATELY,
FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO
STOP THAT FORECLOSURE AND LET
HIM CONTINUE TO LIVE. HIS LIFE
AS SHORT WAS AT THAT POINT IN
TIME, UM PEACEFULLY AS IT WERE,
UM MY POSITION HERE TODAY IS TO,
UH ARGUE THAT WE SHOULD NOT
LEGISLATE A LOOPHOLE. UM SO WHEN
WE WANT TO LOCATION INCORPORATED
INTO THE BILL FOR PEOPLE TO
STILL BE ABLE TO SHOW UP IN
PERSON TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
ELECTION PROCESS, IN OTHER WORDS
, TO WATCH THE ELECTION
SUPERVISOR, MAKE SURE THERE'S A
QUORUM. MAKE SURE THAT THE ROLE
OF THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION HAS
BEEN ESTABLISHED AND MAKE SURE
THE BALLOTS ARE PROPERLY HANDLES
. THERE IS A SPECIFIC LOCATION
IN THE LEGISLATION. THAT'S THAT
ARE SPECIFIC LOCATION IS CALLED
FOR IN THE IN THE LEGISLATION.
IT SEEMS FAIRLY SIMPLE TO ME.
BOARD MEET UM. AND WHERE THEY
MEET, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IS
EITHER IN A COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATION PROPERTY OR, AS WAS
PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED TO A RENTAL
PLACE. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON
WHY THE LEGISLATION CANNOT
REQUIRE THAT. THE BALLOT
COUNTING PROCESS BE DONE AT THAT
SPECIFIC LOCATION WHERE
GENERALLY THE BOARD HAS HAD ITS
MEETINGS OR WERE THAT EFFECT TO
JUST SAY YOU NEED A LOCATION
OPENS THE DOOR AS WE ALL KNOW,
YOU KNOW LEGISLATION THAT'S NOT
SPECIFIC. AND IF YOU COULD WRAP
UP THANK YOU LEGISLATION. THAT'S
NOT SPECIFIC. YOU TURN IT OVER
TO LAWYERS AND GUESS WHAT WE DO
WITH IT. SO, UM, WITH THAT? UH I
ENDORSE MARJORIE MURRAY'S
COMMENTS RELATIVE. TO I KNOW
VOTE AT THIS POINT IN TIME OR TO
CONTINUE. WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR'S OFFICE ON THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY ADDITIONAL FOLKS
IN THE ROOM LIKE TO REGISTER
OPPOSITION? OKAY WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. MR
PATTERSON JUST REAL BRIEFLY. I
SUPPORT THE BILL. I DO LIKE THE
IDEA OF ADDING SOME KIND OF
RECORDING MECHANISM TO IT. YOU
KNOW, MOST CITIES DO THAT. BUT
REGARDLESS, I THINK YOU KNOW WE
CAN NEVER GET QUORUM AND THINGS
LIKE THAT. MY H O A SO TO THE
EXTENT WE CAN MAKE IT EASIER FOR
THEM TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IS A
GOOD THING. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS. DO WE HAVE A
MOTION? SOME MOTION BY MR
CHOLERA A SECOND SECOND BY MR
ZUBER, AND WITH THAT THE MOTION
IS DUE PAST AS AMENDED. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE MISTER
VALENCIA? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR
. MY TOMB AND I ARE COMMITTED TO
CONTINUING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE OPPOSITION REGARDING
THEIR CONCERNS. AND WITH THAT I
REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR
TIME AND ASK FOR YES. VOTE
GRACIAS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND
APPRECIATE YOUR WORK IN THE
SPACE AND TAKING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AND APPRECIATE YOUR
CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION. WITH THAT HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY. WEEKS I
HIGH PATERSON, PATERSON. I
CARILLO KOREA. I DIVERT AYE.
CHOLERA. UH, I QUIRK-SILVA.
QUIRK-SILVA AYE. SANCHEZ. SINCE
AS I WORK, THAT HAS SEVEN VOTES
. IT'S OUT, AND WE WILL LEAVE IT
OPEN FOR FOLKS TO ADD ON. LET'S
SEE. THANK YOU, MISTER VALENCIA.
THANK YOU. AND NEXT, WE HAVE MR
CARILLO. I BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE,
PRESENTING 13 32. YES. GOOD
MORNING. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY
BILL 13 32. I WANT TO START BY
THANKING THE COMMUNITY STAFF FOR
THEIR WORK ON THIS BILL. IT IS A
BETTER BUILD THANKS TO THEIR
EFFORTS. ALL OF YOU KNOW,
CALIFORNIA HAS FAILED TO BUILD
ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH NEW HOUSING
UNITS REQUIRED TO KEEP UP WITH
THE MAN. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
YEARS. THE LEGISLATURE THANKS IN
PART TO MANY OF YOU ON THIS
COMMITTEE HAS AGREED THAT
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS SHOULD
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION. AND
THE LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED LAWS
THAT MADE PERMITTING AND
AUTHORIZING THE USE EASIER. I
STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MAKING ANY
USE MORE ACCESSIBLE AND MORE
AFFORDABLE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE
A CORNERSTONE OF OUR EFFORTS TO
ADDRESS THE HOUSING CRISIS. THE
USER IN FIELD. THEY ARE
AFFORDABLE AND THEY'RE OFTEN
CRITICAL STEPPINGSTONE TO THE
MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES TO BUILD
GENERATIONAL WEALTH. WHETHER BY
PROVIDING AN AFFORDABLE OPTION
TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND LOVED
ONES. OR AS YOUR RENTAL INCOME
BUILDING AND OWNING AN EDDIE.
YOU CAN BE A LIFE CHANGING
ASSET. ONE OF THE FIRST BARRIER,
SOMEONE WHO'S RUNNING INTO ONE
CONSIDERING A D U IS PLANNING
AND DESIGNING THE UNIT ITSELF.
THIS REQUIRES A HOMEOWNER TO
SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO
HIRE AN ARCHITECT OR AN ENGINEER
JUST TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH
BUILDING THE UNIT WILL COST. FOR
MANY LAW AND MIDDLE INCOME
HOMEOWNERS. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT
AN OPTION. MAYBE 13 32 WILL
SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND OVER
THE COST OF BUILDING A D USE BY
REQUIRING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
KEEP A CATALOG OF PREAH PROVIDED
YOU PLANTS ON THEIR WEBSITE. BY
HAVING ACCESS TO A CATALOG OF
PRE APPROVED PLANS. HOMEOWNERS
WILL NOT ONLY SAVE TIME AND
MONEY IT WILL PROVIDE MUCH
NEEDED CLARITY TO FAMILIES THAT
OTHERWISE MIGHT THINK BUILDING
ON A D U ON THEIR PROPERTY IS
TOO ABSTRACT AND OUT OF REACH
AND MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
AS CITY PLANNER. I CAN TELL YOU
HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS BEING ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTER AS
A REGULAR HOMEOWNER WANTS TO
BUILD AN A D U AND HAVING TO
TELL THEM THAT THEY NEED TO HIRE
AN ARCHITECT OR AN ENGINEER,
WHICH IS GOING TO COST HIM AT
LEAST FOUR OR $5000. WAIT ABOUT
A MONTH AT LEAST TO HAVE THAT
ENGINEER ARCHITECT. PERCENT OF
PLANTS SUBMITTED PLANS TO THE
PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW
ON A PROGRAM THAT BUILDING AND
SAFETY, SO IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE
SAVING TIME THAT OFTEN
OFTENTIMES IT TAKES UP THREE
MONTHS. AT LEAST SHE HAS TO GET
AN IDEA APPROVED. IT IS ALSO MY
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT IT DOES
BUILD GENERAL WEALTH. I DO HAVE
AN IDEA IN MY HOUSE. MY DAUGHTER
CAME OUT FROM COLLEGE. SHE
GRADUATED AND SHE DECIDED TO
COME BACK HOME. AND SHE WAS ABLE
TO LIVE IN THE EU FOR ABOUT
THREE YEARS WHERE SHE WAS ABLE
TO SAVE SOME MONEY, AND SHE
RECENTLY MOVED IN DECEMBER. SO
THAT HELPS REALLY OUR KIDS AND
IN SOME CASES ARE AGING PARENTS
AS WELL. WE NEED TO PROVIDE THEM
A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE. BECAUSE
WE RECOGNIZE OUR AGING. THEY
NEED ASSISTANCE, AND THEY ALSO
NEED PRIVACY. AND I DO. YOU WILL
ALSO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE THAT. SO
WITHOUT A JOINING ME TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT AND ANSWER QUESTIONS
IS LOUIS MIRAMONTE, VICE
PRESIDENT OF PUBLIC POLICY AND
THE BAY AREA COUNCIL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GOOD
MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. UM MY NAME
IS LUIS MONTI. I'M VICE
PRESIDENT OF PUBLIC POLICY FOR
THE VERY COUNCIL. I'M ALSO ON
THE BOARD OF THE COALITION,
WHICH REPRESENTS INCREASINGLY
LARGE EDU INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA
. IS THIS COMMITTEE WELL KNOWS,
IT IS HAVE AN IMPORTANT PART OF
THE STATE'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING
STRATEGY AND HAVE INCREASED FROM
ABOUT 1000 UNITS IN 2017 TO
ABOUT 20,000 UNITS IN 2022. THEY
NOW REPRESENT 5 TO $6 BILLION
INDUSTRY AND CREATE THOUSANDS OF
JOBS IN HUNDREDS OF COMMITTEE.
HE'S ACROSS CALIFORNIA. THE
COALITION RECOMMENDS THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ADOPTED PREAPPROVED
PROGRAM IS THIS BILL WOULD
ESTABLISH AND HAS A PREAPPROVAL
GUIDEBOOK THAT I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
AND THE COMMITTEE USING TO HELP
SHAPE THE BILL. AH THE PRE
APPROVAL PROCESS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR HOMEOWNERS TO SAVE MONEY ON
ARCHITECTS, DESIGN CONTRACTORS
AND CONSULTANTS. BUT PRE
APPROVAL IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO SHAPE
WHAT IS BUILT AND ACCOMPLISHED
THEIR VISION FOR THEIR COMMUNITY
AESTHETIC IN A MORE FORTHRIGHT
MANNER. UH 80 80 US PROVIDE AN
IMPORTANT SOURCE OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ACROSS CALIFORNIA, AS I
MENTIONED AND PRE APPROVED
PROGRAMS ARE SUCCESSFUL. IN
CALIFORNIA TODAY IN SAN JOSE. IN
LOS ANGELES, UH, AND IN NAPA
COUNTY, WHERE ACTUALLY 14 CITIES
AND TWO COUNTIES COORDINATE ON
THE SAME PREAPPROVAL PROGRAM.
THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO ADOPT A MENU OF
OPTIONS THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ACTUALLY
DESIGN THE EIGHTIES THEMSELVES.
AND SO THE MEMBERS OF THE CASINO
COALITION COULD ANY ANY OTHER.
YOU KNOW, BUILDING A BUILDER IN
CALIFORNIA TO COULD SUBMIT TO A
CITY. UM A PLAN FOR THEIR
CONSIDERATION IN THEIR PRE
APPROVAL PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP
SPEED UP THE PROCESS FOR
BUILDERS AND FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO
WANT TO BUILD AN 80 YOU I ALSO
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THESE
PROGRAMS GIVE A LEG UP TO SMALL
, COMMUNITY BASED BUILDERS WHO
HAVE MORE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE. I
HOPE THAT I HOPE THE NOISE DOES
NOT CONDITION YOU AGAINST NEW
CONSTRUCTION. UH UM, SO THESE
PROGRAMS GIVE A LEG UP TO SMALL
, COMMUNITY BASED BUILDERS, JUST
THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT I THINK
WE SHOULD BE ELEVATING IN THE
CONSTRUCTION SPACE TODAY, AND I
URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL? YEAH. GOOD MORNING
TURN MEMBERS BRADY GARDEN ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
BUILDING. OFFICIALS WERE IN A
SUPPORT IF AMENDED POSITION FOR
NOW, JUST TO GET SOME COMPLIANCE
MECHANISMS DESIGNED BY HCG FAIR
PROOF PROOF PREAPPROVAL PROGRAM
SO THAT ARE SMALLER
JURISDICTIONS AND THOSE WITH
LESS FINANCIAL RESOURCES CAN, UH
, COMPLY WITH THE LAW. IN THAT
WAY, WE APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE
STAFF, THE AUTHORS OFFICE AND
THE SPONSORS FOR WORKING WITH US
AND LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE
CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING,
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS. THE
COMMITTEE. YOU'RE THE BANANA
CARVAJAL AND I HAVE A
CALIFORNIAN BEAT AND SUPPORT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY, UH,
PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION. AN ADDITIONAL FOLKS
IN THE ROOM WAS TO REGISTER
OPPOSITION. OKAY WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE, MR
CHOLERA AND THEN MISS
QUIRK-SILVA. THANK YOU, MADAM
SHARON. I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN A
MOVEMENT THIS WHOLE AIDOO
MOVEMENT. I THINK IT'S BEEN A
SUCCESSFUL ONE FOR THE STATE,
BUT THEY'RE DEFINITELY STILL
HURDLES, AS MENTIONED SAN JOSE L
A. SOME OF THESE BIG CITIES
ALREADY HAVE PROCESSES. BUT I
DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR. IF YOU
JUST HAPPEN TO LIVE ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE MUNICIPAL LINE THAT
OBVIOUSLY, YOUR BURDENS INCREASE
DRAMATICALLY. THERE SHOULD BE AT
LEAST SOME LEVEL SET SOME
EXPECTATIONS THAT FOLKS CAN HAVE
BECAUSE, AS MENTIONED IN
ANALYSIS 10% OF NEW CONSTRUCTION
NOW FROM 1% TO 10% OR 80 US,
IT'S ABSOLUTELY APART. IT'S ONE
OF THE TOOLS THAT WE NEED,
ESPECIALLY IN EXISTING
NEIGHBORHOODS. I DON'T THINK
IT'S FAIR JUST FOR OTHER
NEIGHBORHOODS TO TAKE A LOT OF
THE ENTIRE BURDEN OF CREATING
NEW HOUSING STOCK. EXISTING
NEIGHBORHOODS, OLDER
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE ALREADY
FULLY DEVELOPED, SHOULD ALSO
TAKE ON SOME OF THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF INCREASING
THEIR HOUSING, STOCK AND REALLY
80 US IS PRACTICALLY THE ONLY
WAY TO DO IT IN A MEANINGFUL WAY
. AND SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW
THERE'S EMOTIONAL HAPPENING WITH
THE BILL, AND I'D LOVE TO BE
ADDED ON AS A CO AUTHOR. GREAT
MISS QUIRK-SILVA. TO WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR, AND I JUST
WANT TO START A LITTLE BUMPER
CAR MOVEMENT. I LOVE 80 YEARS
NOW WHY DO I GET EXCITED? WHY DO
I GET EXCITED BECAUSE IT'S
REALLY THE ONLY THING TO GET
EXCITED ABOUT IN CALIFORNIA
REGARDING HOUSING BECAUSE WE'VE
HAD VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION.
OTHERWISE, UM BUT THERE IS A, UH
FOR THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER WHO
MIGHT BE STEPPING INTO THIS IF
THEY EVEN START THE BEGINNING
PHASES OF PLANNING THE
PERMITTING. ALL OF THESE STEPS
CAN NOT ONLY BE COSTLY, BUT AS
MENTIONED DELAYED BY WAITING FOR
PLANNING COMMISSIONS AND SO
FORTH, SO I, TOO WANT TO BE
ADDED AS A AUTHOR ON THIS, UM
BUT WE HAVE SEEN WHEN THERE ARE
SHELF READY PLANS AVAILABLE AND
, UH, CONSUMER CAN CHOOSE PLAN A
B OR C THAT MANY TIMES. NOT ONLY
DO THEY DO THAT, BUT THAT SPEEDS
UP THE PROCESS AND THEN IT ALSO
DOESN'T REQUIRE THEM TO USE
THOSE PLANS. SO IF THEY WANT TO
BE EXTRAORDINARILY CREATIVE,
THEY CAN DO THAT AS WELL. SO
VERY GOOD BILL AND I MOVE THE
BILL. GREAT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? MR CARILLO?
JUST WANT TO THANK AGAIN. UH
AGAIN. I'M A BELIEVER OF I D
USE. I DO HAVE AN IDEA US IN MY
HOUSE. MY DAUGHTER LIVED IN IT.
FOR THREE YEARS, SHE WAS ABLE TO
SAVE SOME MONEY TO MOVE ON HER
OWN AND AGAIN, OUR AGING PARENTS
NEED A PLACE TO LEAVE WHERE WE
CAN KEEP AN EYE ON THEM. THIS
ALSO PROVIDES THEIR OWN
INDEPENDENCE. IT'S A WIN WIN ALL
AROUND THE INFERENTIAL WEALTH.
AS YOU KNOW, THAT'S ANOTHER
WOULD WAY TO START THE
PROCESSOR. WITH THAT. I JUST
CLOSED. MY, UH, RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR I VOTE. THANK YOU. GREAT
WELL, THANK YOU, MR CARILLO.
REALLY APPRECIATE THIS BILL. I
AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. I
THINK 80 YEARS HAVE BEEN A REAL
BRIGHT SPOT FOR US AND HOUSING
POLICY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS. ALSO YOU'RE ONE OF OUR
NEWER MEMBERS, BUT IT REALLY
DEMONSTRATED TO BE A REALLY A
LEADER IN THE HOUSING SPACE SO
EXCITED ABOUT YOUR YOUR FUTURE
LEADERSHIP AND WOULD LOVE TO BE
ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR AS WELL. SO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD. AND WITH THAT THE
MOTIONS DO PASS TO THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
OH THERE WAS A SECOND, RIGHT?
YES YEAH. SHARON. OKAY, MS
QUIRK-SILVA. WEEKS WEEKS. I
PATERSON PATERSON. I CARILLO.
CARILLO EISENBERG. ER I CHOLERA
. CHOLERA I QUIRK-SILVA VICE
SANCHEZ. IT IS NOT BORING WARD.
AYE. THAT BILL IS OUT. 7 TO 0.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND NEXT, I
BELIEVE WE HAVE MR TING. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. 14 IT'S ONE OF MY
LAWYER. THIS BILL. YEAH. BUT
ENJOY THE CONSTRUCTION SOUND
WHILE YOU TESTIFIED TRY TO SPEAK
INTO THE MICROPHONE BRAND FOR
HOUSING COMMITTEE. YEAH, IT'S
SORT OF LIKE A IT'S HOW MY HEAD
FEELS DURING JUNE AROUND BUDGET
TIME. SO UH, FIRST LET ME JUST
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR FOR YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFF, THE BANKING
COMMITTEE STAFF. I KNOW THAT WE
HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS
OVER THE LAST WEEK ON THIS BILL,
AND I THINK IT'S IN A MUCH
STRONGER PLACE AND HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
CLARIFYING THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT
CAN DECIDE IF THEY WILL ALLOW
YOU TO USE TO BE SEPARATELY
CONVEYED. LIMIT THAT ENSURED
THAT A D. U S WILL BE TRANSACTED
AS CONDOMINIUMS AND NOT AS OTHER
TYPES OF PROPERTY ALSO ENSURING
THAT THE CONDO SUBDIVISIONS
CONSISTENT WITH THE SUBDIVISION
MAPPED ACT IN THE DAVIS STERLING
ACT, ALSO REQUIRING THAT ALL
LEANS ON THE PROPERTY ARE
SATISFIED OR THAT ALL LIEN
HOLDERS HAVE PROVIDED CONSENT TO
THE RECORDATION OF THE MAP TO
THE COUNTY ASSESSOR. AND ALSO
REQUIRED THAT THEY DO YOU GO
THROUGH A SAFETY INSPECTION
BEFORE THE RECORDATION OF CONDO
MAP? UM, AS WE HAD JUST TALKED,
TALKED ABOUT ALL THE VARIOUS
POSITIVE BY 80 US. WE THINK
TAKING THE NEXT STEP AND
ALLOWING SEPARATE CONVEYANCE OF
THE U. S IS REALLY A VERY
POSITIVE STEP TO EVEN CREATING
HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. AS
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE
COMMITTEE, THIS IS ONE OF THE
ONLY MORE AFFORDABLE RENTAL
OPTIONS SO BY ALLOWING THEM TO
BE SIMPLY CONVEYED. THAT COULD
BE, UH, ALSO SOME OF THE MORE
AFFORDABLE HOME OWNER OPTIONS. I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE
DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD WITH
OPPOSITION. WE FEEL THAT WE'RE
MOVING IN A GOOD DIRECTION AND
WE'LL BE ABLE TO AS WE GO
THROUGH THE PROCESS BE ABLE TO
COME TOGETHER AND BE ABLE TO
SATISFY THEIR CONCERNS. AND JUST
SO YOU ALL KNOW THERE'S ALREADY
MANY COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY THAT HAVE ALLOWED 80 US
TO BE SOLD FOR HOMEOWNERS,
WHETHER THAT'S AUSTIN, TEXAS.
PORTLAND OREGON, PRINCETON, NEW
JERSEY, AS WELL AS BRITISH
COLUMBIA, CALIFORNIA I HAVE
RAFAEL PEREZ FROM THE CASITA
COALITION. AND THEN LOUIS
MERANTI IS GOING TO STAY HERE TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO, MR
PARKER. MY NAME IS RAFAEL PEREZ,
VICE CHAIR OF THE CASITA
COALITION. I'D LIKE TO SHARE AN
AUDACIOUS IDEA WITH YOU IMAGINE
A CALIFORNIA WHERE A FORMERLY
UNDOCUMENTED FATHER AND TEEN
MOTHER COULD FORM A FAMILY AND
WITHIN 10 YEARS, NO COLLEGE
EDUCATION. LOTS OF OVERTIME
COULD SAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A
HOME IN COASTAL CALIFORNIA. THAT
WAS MY PARENTS 30 YEARS AGO. BUT
AS I LOOK AT MY YOUNGER SISTER
WHO WOULD LOVE TO BRING HER
FAMILY BACK TO CALIFORNIA? AND
BUY A HOME ANYWHERE IN THE AREA
CODE WE GREW UP IN, THERE'S
NOTHING AVAILABLE FOR THEM. WE
ARE HERE TODAY WITH A SOLUTION
THAT GIVES PEOPLE LIKE MY LITTLE
SISTER HOPE. AT A TIME WHEN THE
LEAST CONSTRUCTIVE TYPE OF HOME
IS THE FORESAIL STARTER. HOME
SOLUTIONS ARE NOT EASY OR
ABUNDANT. A MENTOR ONCE TOLD ME
AFTER I SHARED THAT I BELIEVE
THE SOLUTION TO TURN OUR ECONOMY
AROUND WAS IN OUR BACKYARDS. HE
LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, IF NOT
YOU, THEN WHO? IF NOT NOW, THEN
WHEN THAT MOMENT SET ME ON A
JOURNEY THAT LED A REALTOR,
COLLEGE EDUCATOR AND FAIR
HOUSING ADVOCATE TO END UP VICE
CHAIR OF THE CASITA COALITION.
WITH INFLATION IMPACTS. THE
URGENCY OF NOW IS REAL
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS THE BEST HEDGE
AGAINST INFLATION. ASK ANYBODY
WITH HOME EQUITY AND A LOW
INTEREST RATE. A D. U. S HAVE
BEEN THE BRIGHT SPOT WHEN IT
COMES TO SOLUTIONS THAT ARE
ACTUALLY GETTING HOUSING BUILT.
CONDOS HAVE BEEN A TIME TESTED
TOOL TO GET PEOPLE IN THE DOOR
TO HOMEOWNERSHIP OR DOWNSIZED
FROM LARGER HOMES. THE ABILITY
TO CONVERT AN ADO TO A CONDO
WILL GIVE FAMILIES THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SOLUTIONS
IN THEIR BACKYARD ON BOTH THE
FRONT AND BACK END OF
HOMEOWNERSHIP. BIÂU CONDOS WILL
BRING HOPE TO SO MANY PEOPLE
ACROSS OUR STATE THAT ARE
SITTING THERE PRE APPROVED
WITHOUT A HOME THEY CAN ACTUALLY
BUY. I HAVE CLIENTS IN THAT
EXACT SITUATION. LET'S WORK
TOGETHER AND LET'S NOT KICK THE
CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR A BETTER
DAY. PLEASE JOIN ME IN
SUPPORTING ABBY 10 33 BECAUSE
PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO AFFORD TO LIVE
AND OWN A HOME IN THE SAME AREA
CODE AS THEIR PARENTS, GROWN
CHILDREN AND OTHER LOVED ONES.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VERY
BRIEFLY, MADAM CHAIR LOUIS
MERANTI WITH BARRY COUNCIL. UM I
JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE FROM FROM
MR TING'S POINT THAT 80 YOU ARE
SEPARATELY CONVEYED IN SEVERAL
STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
ARE TREMENDOUS SUCCESSES THERE.
THEY IN IN PORTLAND'S OR IN
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY, THEY SELL
FOR 30 TO 50% BELOW COMMENSURATE
HOMES IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD.
AWS IN PORTLAND'S OREGON SELL
FOR 40 TO 60% BELOW OTHER HOMES
IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, AND
ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE
AFFORDABLE TO PEOPLE EARNING
120% OF AREA MEETING INCOME, AND
SEATTLE WASHINGTON IN SEATTLE,
WASHINGTON 40% OF 80 US ARE SOLD
BELOW MARKET RATE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA, A DSR RENTED AT
RATES THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY
AFFORDABLE TO LOW INCOME PEOPLE
, ACCORDING TO RESEARCH FROM THE
U. C. BERKELEY TURNER CENTER. I
HOPE THAT WITH THIS BILL WILL BE
ABLE TO CREATE A PIPELINE OF
MIDDLE CLASS STARTER HOMES FOR
CALIFORNIANS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD
BE LOCKED OUT OF THE HOME
OWNERSHIP MARKET. I ALSO WANT TO
THANK OUR SUPPORTERS AND OUR
OPPONENTS FOR WORKING WITH US ON
THIS BILL AND I, I SHARE MR
TING'S OPTIMISM THAT WILL BE
ABLE TO WORK THROUGH ALL OF THE
CONCERNS ON THE BILL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. UM ADDITIONAL FOLKS
WANT TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR THE
BILL, PLEASE NAME ORGANIZATION
IN POSITION. MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
NORTHERN ASPIRIN ON BEHALF OF
META IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU. FOR
MANY DAYS USE WITH LIGHTHOUSE
PUBLIC AFFAIRS ON BEHALF OF A
SPUR AND SUPPORT. MARK
NEWBERGER, CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSOCIATION COUNTIES AND SUPPORT
THANK YOU. ANY PRIMARY WITNESSES
AND OPPOSITION.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE JENNIFER SPEC ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. AT
FIRST LIKE TO NOTE, CR HAS BEEN
A LEADER IN THE ADVOCACY EFFORTS
TO SHAPE THE STATE'S EXISTING AT
EU LAWS. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT THE CREATION OF ENTRY
LEVEL, AFFORDABLE MARKET RATE
HOUSING OWNERSHIP UNITS, WE MUST
OPPOSE MAYBE 10 33 UNLESS IT IS
AMENDED TO INSTITUTE APPROPRIATE
SAFEGUARDS WHICH ENSURE
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS PRESERVED AND
THAT PREDATORY EIGHT EU
DEVELOPMENT SALES AND LENDING
PRACTICES LIKELY TO TARGET
UNSUSPECTING SENIORS, NON
ENGLISH SPEAKERS AND OUR STATE'S
LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
HOMEOWNERS ARE ELIMINATED. NEVER
IN MY MORE THAN 20 YEAR CAREER
COULD HAVE PREDICTED THE
CALIFORNIA WOULD SEEK TO EAGERLY
MODEL POLICIES ESTABLISHED IN
TEXAS CITED BY THE SPONSORS IS A
CORE REASON TO SUPPORT ABBY 10
33. I THINK THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT
TEXAS IS PLANNING AND ZONING
REQUIREMENTS ARE SOLELY
CONTROLLED AND DEFINED BY THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHO DEFINED
PERMANENT APPROVAL PROCESSES
THAT ARE GENERALLY LIMITING
EIGHTIES TO ONE PER PARCEL AND
MANDATES LENDER APPROVAL BEFORE
COMMENCING CONSTRUCTION OF AN
80. YOU INTENDED TO BE CONVEYED
SEPARATELY. TEXAS PROVIDES NO
STATE OVERSIGHT NOR MANDATES
LOCAL ORDINANCES DEVELOPMENT.
AND REQUIRES ALL UNITS TO MEET
NEW CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS,
WHICH IS A STARK CONTRAST TO
CALIFORNIA'S AT EU LAW. AND THE
BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TECH THE
TEXAS MODEL DOES NOT DOES
RESOLVE OUR CONCERNS, HOWEVER,
COMPLETE EVISCERATION OF OUR
STATE AND THE LAW IS NOT
PRACTICAL, AS DEMONSTRATED BY
HISTORIC RESISTANCE BY
CALIFORNIA'S LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
AND AID EU CONSTRUCTION PRIOR TO
2015 WHEN THE STATE MANDATED A
Dð PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS.
MAYBE 10 33 IS PLACEMENT IN OUR
STATES BY RIGHT EIGHT. EU
DEVELOPMENT LAW PERMITS 80 US TO
BE CONSTRUCTED MINISTERIAL E
WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH THE
STATE'S WORLD DEFINE NEW
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND
MANDATES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A
RECORDING OF A LOT SPLIT MAP
BEFORE SEEKING A LIEN RELEASE
FROM THE LENDER. THIS VIOLATES
STATE AND FEDERAL ENDURING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS. REGULATIONS TO
BE CLEAR. MAYBE 10 33 PROVIDES
NO LIMITATIONS, GUARDRAILS OR
PROTECTIONS FROM PREDATORY SALES
AND LENDING PRACTICES. IF
ENACTED, MAYBE 10 33 WILL
TRIGGER A WAVE OF FORECLOSURES.
GIVEN A LENDERS ONLY LEGAL
REMEDY IS TO FORECLOSE TO
ENFORCE THEIR CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS
AND PROTECT THEIR LIEN. MAYBE 10
33 IS A MUCH BROADER,
COMPLICATED AND IS RIPE WITH
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT ARE
SURE TO DAMAGE HOMEOWNERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES. MAYBE 10 33,
EVEN AS PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED
DOES NOT PROHIBIT ABROAD AWAY OF
ARRAY OF OWNERSHIP MODELS, WHICH
RUN AFOUL OF LAND USED LENDING
REQUIREMENTS. UM AND HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO WREAK HAVOC WITH
HOMEOWNERS LOANS AND WILL FORCE
BUYERS INTO MORE EXPENSIVE,
HIGHER INTEREST RATE PORTFOLIO
LOANS, WHICH REQUIRE A 25% DOWN
PAYMENT. FINALLY IT CANNOT GO
WITHOUT SAYING IT WOULD BE 10 33
SEEKS TO CIRCUMVENT STATE LAW
ESTABLISHED AN SP NINE, WHICH
WAS ENACTED IN 20 TO 2021 JUST
TWO YEARS AGO. TO ACHIEVE THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSORS OBJECTIVE TO
INCREASE HOMEOWNERSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES. WE WOULD SUGGEST
THAT A B 10 33 INSTEAD BE
AMENDED TO ESTABLISH CONDO
DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE SP NINE
MODEL, WHICH ALREADY CONTAINS
CAREFULLY NEGOTIATED GUARDRAILS.
WITH THAT SAID THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS IN THE ANALYSIS
CREATE FOR MORE QUESTIONS THAN
THEY ANSWER, AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE
AUTHOR AND THE COMMITTEE STAFF
TO WORK THROUGH AND RESOLVE OUR
CONCERNS WHILE ENSURING THAT THE
BILL BILLS GOALS TO CREATE A
DIGITAL HOMEOWNERSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STATES,
WORKING FAMILIES IS REALIZED IN
A MANNER THAT DOES NOT
JEOPARDIZE THE FAMILY'S HOUSING
, STABILITY AND WEALTH
GENERATION OPPORTUNITIES. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL
FOLKS IN OPPOSITION WAS TO
REGISTER THAT THANK YOU. MADAM
CHAIR, REMEMBERS CARLOS
GUTIERREZ ON BEHALF OF THE
COMMUNITY. ASSOCIATED INSTITUTE,
CALIFORNIA LEADERSHIP ACTION
COMMITTEE. WE JUST HAVE CONCERNS
IN REGARDS TO HOW THIS IS GOING
TO IMPACT. UH CURRENT HOMEOWNER
ASSOCIATIONS AND SUB
ASSOCIATIONS IN TERMS OF
ASSESSMENTS. WE ARE WORKING WITH
THE AUTHOR. WE CONTINUE TO DO SO
I'D ALSO LIKE TO REGISTER
OPPOSITION FOR CALIFORNIA LAND
TITLE ASSOCIATION. THANK YOU.
JENNIFER WHAT ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY
MANAGERS IN OPPOSITION ALSO
CONCERNS FOR THE IMPACT ON
COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENTS.
INDIRA MCDONALD ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA MORTGAGE BANKERS
ASSOCIATION, ALSO EXPRESSING
CONCERNS AND OPPOSED UNLESS
AMENDED FOR THE REASONS
PREVIOUSLY STATED, THANK YOU. WE
WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS, MR
ZABAR AND THEN MR CHOLERA HAD
ONE QUESTION DOES AND I WAS
TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT AS
READING THROUGH. DOES THE BILL,
UM, REQUIRE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
THAT ALLOW A DUS TO ALLOW
ESSENTIALLY THIS, UM SORT OF LOT
SPLIT OR DOES OR IS THAT
SOMETHING THAT IS DISCRETIONARY
THAT THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS CAN
ELECT IF THEY CHOOSE TO. THE
BILL HAS IT SO THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS WOULD HAVE TO OPT
IN. OKAY SO THEY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS WOULD NOT
AUTOMATICALLY BE ADOPTED AND
THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A
PROACTIVE ACTION TO ALLOW THEIR
CITY TO BENEFIT EU TO BE SOLD
OFF SEPARATELY. THAT'S A AN
IMPORTANT CRITERION FOR ME, BUT
THANK THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING
THAT, MR CHOLERA. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR AND I THINK THIS IS
A GOOD PARTNER BILL FROM THE
LAST BILL WE HEARD FROM MR KOREA
. SENATOR CARILLO IN TERMS OF
EXPEDITING THE U S. BUT YOU
KNOW, AS AS YOU STATED, AND, UM
YOU KNOW, WITNESSES STADIUM, YOU
HAVE THE SAN JOSE. THE MEDIUM
HOME PRICE $1.3 MILLION. THIS IS
AN ENTRY POINT THAT OTHERWISE
WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE AT ALL. I
KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME THERE'S
SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE RAISED
, I THINK, ARE CERTAINLY
LEGITIMATE, IN TERMS OF HOW YOU
FIGURE OUT, UM YOU KNOW, THE FOR
SALE AND WHAT HAVE YOU AND WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE YOU
AND SOMEONE'S PROPERTY, BUT I
THINK ALL IN ALL, IT'S AGAIN ONE
MORE TOOL. TO ALLOW IN THIS CASE
, WELL, GENERATION AND PROPERTY
OWNERSHIP OF THOSE OTHERWISE
WE'RE NOT HAVE ANY OTHER
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO LOVE TO BE
OUT OF HIS CO AUTHOR AND REMOVE
THE BUILDER HAS BEEN EMOTION. WE
HAVE A MOTION BY MR CHOLERA. UH
AND MR QUIRK-SILVA TO QUIT 22
QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR. UM ONE
IS, UH, AS YOU SAID IT WOULD BE
UP TO THE LOCAL JURISDICTION,
BUT IT'S ALSO WHAT IT'S ALSO UP
TO THE SINGLE FAMILY OWNER
ABSOLUTELY SPLIT THEIR LOT. IF
YOU WANT TO SAY THAT IT THAT WAY
. BUT COULD YOU COULD YOU SPEAK
TO THE ASSESSMENT PART ON AS
WITH CONDOMINIUMS, THERE'S A
HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION. HOW IS
THAT? GREAT I THINK GREAT
QUESTIONS. SO I APPRECIATE THE
POINT. ABSOLUTELY THIS DOES NOT
PRESCRIBE ANYTHING TO THE
HOMEOWNER JUST GIVES THE
PROPERTY OWNER GREATER
OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE VALUE ON
THEIR PROPERTY. SHOULD THEY
CHOOSE AS A FORMER COUNTY
ASSESSOR. IT'S QUITE A SIMPLE
PROCESS. WHENEVER YOU DO A LOT
SPLIT, THERE'S A SPECIFIC
PROCESS OF DOING A REASSESSMENT.
UH AS PART OF, UH, AND HIS
PROPERTY THAT GETS SUBDIVIDED,
WHICH IS VERY COMMON WHEN YOU'RE
DOING A LARGE DEVELOPMENT OR IF
YOU DO A CONDO VIT DEVELOPMENT,
YOU HAVE THE CONDO MAPS. AND
THEN AFTER YOU DO THE CONDO
MAPS, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO GET
AN ASSESSMENT FOR EACH OF THOSE
SUBDIVISIONS SUCH A VERY COMMON
PRACTICE THAT ANY COUNTY
ASSESSOR WOULD BE ABLE TO EASILY
EASILY Dð. AND THEN JUST ONE
FOLLOW UP QUESTION RELATED TO
THAT. IS THERE A MINIMUM? UH IF
YOU WANT TO SAY LOT SIZE THAT
THIS APPLIES TO THE MINIMUM LOSS
SIZES WOULD BE WHAT'S BEEN
PREVIOUSLY PRESCRIBED IN STATE
LAW. SO WE DON'T ADDRESS THAT WE
JUST GIVING PROPERTY OWNERS THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT IF THEY HAD
BUILT AN ADO IF THEY WANTED TO
DO SOME SEPARATE CONVEYANCE, UH
, FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY HAVE,
WHETHER IT'S THE FAMILY MEMBERS.
WHETHER IT'S ON THE OPEN MARKET,
THEY JUST HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS,
MR WARD. GREAT THANK YOU. I'M
VERY EXCITED FOR THE BILL. I
THINK IT'S A NATURAL EVOLUTION
OF WHERE EVEN THINKING ABOUT
MEDIA POLICY AND OPPORTUNITIES
ACROSS THE STATE FIRST FOR THE
WORK THAT WE'VE DONE AS A
LEGISLATURE TO PERMIT THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR A D U
CONSTRUCTIONS, AND NOW WE'RE
SORT OF NATURALLY TAKING THAT
STEP ABOUT, UH, FOR THROUGH FOR
SALE OPPORTUNITY, ALLOWING
MIDDLE INCOME FAMILIES LOWER
INCOME FAMILIES THAT FIRST HOME
THAT FIRST STEP FOR HOME
OWNERSHIP PURPOSES, BUILDING
THEIR OWN WEALTH SIMULTANEOUSLY
. YOU'RE ALSO OFFERING THAT
HOMEOWNER THE EXISTING HOMEOWNER
THAT'S CHOOSING TO SELL THAT OFF
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL THEIR
PROPERTY TO ESTABLISHED
RECAPTURE SOME OF THAT EQUITY
AND MAYBE GO ON TO DO OTHER
THINGS AS WELL WITH THAT ACQUIRE
MORE PROPERTY AND DO REMODEL OR
WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE TO DO WITH
THAT, AND THEY GET TO COLLEGE.
UM BUT I GETTING THIS RIGHT IS
GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO UM DIVE
INTO SOME OF THE TECHNICAL
DETAILS. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO
WORK CLOSELY WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL AS THIS
GOES FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT. THE ONLY QUESTIONS THAT I
HAVE TODAY JUST FIRST SORT OF
BROADLY. UM WHY STRUCTURE THIS
BILL IS SOMETHING THAT IS
REQUIRING CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
UPDATE THEIR ORDINANCES, AS
OPPOSED TO JUST ALLOWING A STATE
LAW TO PERMIT THE SALE. I THINK
IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I THINK
IT'S SORT OF JUST GIVEN EXACTLY
WHAT SOME OF OUR OTHER
COLLEAGUES, I SAID. I THINK
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
HESITANCY. I WAS HERE, UH,
COUPLE OF WEEKS, OFFERING
WHETHER HIS LAST WEEK OR THE
WEEK BEFORE AROUND, UM, TAKING
AWAY THE OWNER OCCUPANCY
REQUIREMENT ON A D U S. IT'S
SORT OF LIKE THIS IS THE FIRST
BABY STEP. I THINK THERE'S
ALWAYS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF OPPOSITION AT TIMES FROM
CERTAIN CITIES. AND SO WE
THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A GOOD
FIRST STEP TO WRITE, BUT THE LAW
IS GOING TO REQUIRE A SEAT UP TO
ENORMOUS. THAT'S JUST ANOTHER
STEP THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS
GOING TO HAVE TO UPDATE STAFF
TIME AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES
INTO THAT. I'M JUST WONDERING IF
THERE'S A SAYING IN A DIFFERENT
DIRECTION TO ACHIEVE THE SAME
END, POTENTIALLY. POTENTIALLY WE
COULD, UM, YOU KNOW AGAIN. WE'RE
TAKING THE AMENDMENTS, BUT
POTENTIALLY WE COULD HAVE OPTED
FOR AN OPT OUT INSTEAD OF AN OPT
IN. SO THAT WAY AGAIN, STILL
STILL OPTED IN. THIS IS THIS IS
THIS IS AN OPT IN, BUT I GUESS
WE COULD HAVE ALSO SAID HEY, IF
YOU WANT TO OPT OUT YOU CAN OPT
OUT OF THE WAY. I SEE. IT IS
THAT AS THE AMENDMENTS ARE RIGHT
NOW IT'S OKAY. GOT IT? UM AND
THEN HELP ME UNDERSTAND? SO BY
USING A CONDOMINIUM, UM FOR TYPE
OF A PROCESS, UM, WHAT IS THE
PURCHASER ACTUALLY GETTING FOR
THEIR EQUITY? ARE THEY GETTING
THE STRUCTURE OR THE ENDING THE
LAND UNDER IT? IS A PROPORTION
OF THAT LAND VALUE STILL SHARED
BETWEEN THE NEW OWNER AND THE
PREVIOUS OR THE EXISTING OWNER.
THE ONE THAT SOLD THAT OFF, IS
IT. YEAH, THE WAY. UM. AH AND I
HAVE TO GO BACK AND JUST KIND OF
RECOLLECT. I MEAN, WE'RE NOT
TOUCHING ON ANY OF THE CURRENT
SUBDIVISION LAWS. SO I FORGET
EXACTLY HOW THAT HOW THAT LAND
LEGALLY IS REQUIRED TO BE
SUBDIVIDED, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE
SOME INTEREST IN THE LAND AS
WELL AS IN THERE'S NOT SHARED
LAND. UH, LET ME JUST JENNIFER
MIGHT KNOW THAT THE WITNESS
COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENTS BY
NATURE SHARE THE LAND. THAT'S
RIGHT. AND SO YOU'RE JUST
GETTING THE EQUITY OUT OF THE
STRUCTURE. UM IN A WAY, SO WE'VE
GOT A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT
HAPPEN. ONE IS THE QUESTION IS
WHAT KIND OF LEANS ON THE
PARCEL. AND IF YOU HAVE A FIRST
TRUST DEED AND WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOU PURCHASE THE PARCEL AND THE
LEANS, UM, NOW EXCEED THE VALUE
OF THE REMAINING PARCEL OR THE
REMAINING CONDO UNIT THAT GETS A
PERSONAL NUMBER NOW OVER
ENCUMBERED, UM AND IF YOU SEEK
THE LIEN HOLDERS RELEASE AFTER
YOU RECORD A CONDO MAP. YOU
BASICALLY IGNORED THE RIGHTS OF
THE LENDER AND THE LENDER HAS
ONLY ONE REMEDY, WHICH IS TO
FORECLOSE. OTHER PROBLEM IS, UH,
WITH RESPECT TO CONDOS,
ESSENTIALLY THE LANDSCAPING AND
THE EXTERIOR BUILDINGS BECOME
COMMON AREAS. BUT THAT IS, UM,
AN EXTREMELY COMPLICATED AREAS.
SO WHEREAS PARKING WHERE IS YOUR
ACCESS POINT? HOW DO YOU ACCESS
THE UNIT? RIGHT DO YOU GET
ACCESS TO SHARED YARDS? UM WHO'S
GETTING THE CONVEYANCE RIGHT? IS
THAT THE EU DEVELOPER? THAT
SELLS TO ANYBODY THAT'S
EXTRAORDINARILY CLOSE TO YOUR
HOME. YOU YOU LOSE CONTROL
REMEMBER BECAUSE WE'RE
POTENTIALLY REMOVING THE OWNER
OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT THAT MEANS
THAT THE OWNER NO LONGER COULD
BE THE INDIVIDUAL THAT'S MAKING
THE TERMINATION. IT COULD BE
DEVELOPERS INVESTOR READS, AND
WE ALL KNOW THAT BLACKSTONE OWNS
A WHITE SWATH PROPERTIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, AND WE'RE HAVING
ISSUES WITH ADDITIONAL BUILDING
RENT POLICIES, SO I'M NOT REALLY
SURE HOW THIS ALL WORKS OUT, AND
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A VERY DEEP
AND INTELLECTUAL DIALOGUE. IS
THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD AND
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT
GUARD RAILS? BECAUSE MY
OVERSIMPLIFIED LIKE, SORT OF,
YOU KNOW ALCOHOL. I'D LIKE TO
SEE THIS GO IS THE ABILITY TO
REALLY FULLY TRULY SUBDIVIDE
THAT AND FROM HEARING THE BILL
DOES NOT. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO
LOT SPLITS. THERE'S NOT NOT, AND
IT WOULD SEEM TO ME A LITTLE
SIMPLER IN AN OUTCOME THAT WE
WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SAY THIS
IS THIS IS YOUR AREA. THIS IS
THE AREA. YES, YOU MIGHT NEED AN
EASEMENT FOR ACCESS FOR DRIVING
OR FOR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO THAT
UNIT. UM BECAUSE, IF RIGHT, ONE
PROPERTY TO THE EXISTING
PROPERTY OWNER, YOU KNOW,
FORECLOSED ON THAT PROPERTY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? FOR THE
LEGAL ISSUES OR THE FINANCIAL
ISSUES OF THAT. THAT NEW
PROPERTY OWNER JUST THESE ARE
THE TECHNICAL THINGS THAT I HOPE
THAT I KNOW THAT YOU WILL WORK
ON. IN ADDITION, I FELT
CONCERNED ABOUT THE FEDERAL, UM,
INTERESTS OF THE FEDERAL LOAN
PROVISIONS THAT I'M SURE
SOLVABLE, BUT I DO WANT TO SEE
THE OUTCOME AND I KNOW THAT YOU
CAN KNOW THAT YOU WILL GET IT
THERE. UM SO I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THAT. I'M VERY HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL DAY. JUST
WANTED TO RAISE THESE ISSUES
THAT I HOPE WE WORKED ON AS IT
GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS
SIMILAR, UH CAN I JUST SORRY YOU
CAN CURRENTLY DO A LOT SPLIT.
THIS IS JUST CREATES A DIFFERENT
OPTION. I KNOW YOU CURRENTLY CAN
. I'M WONDERING UNDER THIS. YOU
CAN DO THAT. GIVE IT TO A LOT OF
SLIPPED UNDER. RIGHT, RIGHT.
OKAY? BUT THERE'S ONLY ALLOWS
THE FOR SALE FOR SALE UNDER
CONDO IZATION. PROCESS. OKAY?
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. COULD
LAYER A LOT SPLIT WITH THIS.
THANK YOU. TOURS YEAH,
APPRECIATE IT. AND TO THE EXTENT
THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT, THERE'S
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOR SALE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
AFFORDABILITY QUESTIONS. UM,
THAT FOR EXISTING LAW, WE'RE
TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT IS
BEING PRESERVED FOR LOW AND
MIDDLE INCOME CALIFORNIANS. IF
THERE'S FOUR CL OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO USE
A LOT OF THE SAME LANGUAGE TO
GUARANTEE THAT THAT OUTCOME AS
WELL. I THINK THAT WOULD BE
SOMETHING OF AN IMPROVEMENT TO
LOOK FORWARD TO. YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY. BUT I THINK THE WAY
I LOOK AT IT IS YOU KNOW, I
MEAN, ME AND MY FAMILY. WE OWN
THE DO WE UNDER DUPLEX IN SAN
FRANCISCO? WE DID WHAT MANY SAN
FRANCISCO'S DID AND WE DID A LOT
SPLIT. WE DID A CONDO
CONVERSION. WE DID ALL OF THOSE
ITEMS, WHICH IS ALREADY YOU
KNOW, UNDER CALIFORNIA STATE
LAW, SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS MODEL. UH
SOMETHING SIMILAR. OBVIOUSLY WE
APPRECIATE OUR POSITION FOR YOU
KNOW, RAISING SOME LEGITIMATE
ISSUES THAT WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE IS CONSISTENCY WITH
THE LAW. AND WITH ALL THESE
OTHER ITEMS, BUT AGAIN, THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT MANY PROPERTY
OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE
ALREADY DONE IN THE PAST. THIS
IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS SOME
SORT OF. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT
INVENTING THE INTERNET. WE'RE
NOT SENDING SOMEBODY SPACE. THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, WE SHOULD
BE ABLE TO DO IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S THAT'S GRAPH
FILE TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION AS TO WHAT'S INCLUDED
IT'S GOING TO VARY PROPERTY TO
PROPERTY, RIGHT? SO WHEN
HOMEOWNER HIRES A CONSULTANT TO
COME IN AND HELP THEM RECORD
THAT CONDO MAP, WHAT'S GOING TO
BE INCLUDED IS GOING TO BE
PROPERTY SPECIFIC, SO SOME
PROPERTIES MAY ACCOMMODATE
DEDICATED YARD SPACE AND
DEDICATED PARKING AND DRIVEWAYS
. OTHER PROPERTIES MAY HAVE A
WIDER RANGE OF SHARED, UM,
SPACE. UM YOU KNOW, AND I
BELIEVE THE AMENDMENT DOES
REQUIRE NOTIFICATION OF THE
LENDER AND APPROVAL. RECREATION
OF THAT WITH THE ASSESSOR. UM SO
IT REALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A MORTGAGE
ARE GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY
PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO REALLY GET THESE DONE, WHICH
IS A THIRD OF THE HOMES IN THIS
COUNTRY. BUT WHAT THAT'S
INCLUDED ONCE AGAIN IS GOING TO
BE DIFFERENT SITE TO SITE SO MAY
HAVE SOME SHARED SHARED SEWER
LINE, FOR EXAMPLE. THOSE CC AND
RS DOES H O A RULES ARE GONNA
ACCOMMODATE FOR THAT SHARED
EXPENSE, WHEREAS OTHERS MAY HAVE
A DIFFERENT LAYOUT, A DIFFERENT
AMOUNT OF SPACE INCLUDED, SO
IT'S GONNA IT'S GONNA BE A WIDE
RANGE THAT'S GOING TO BE SITE
SPECIFIC. WE HAVE. I THINK MR
OBAMA AND MR PATTERSON I JUST
WANT TO SAY, I THINK SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT ARE BEING RAISED
BY THE REALTORS ARE LEGITIMATE
ONES. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF THE
AMENDMENTS YOU ALREADY TOOK
ADDRESSED MANY OF THEM AND
YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING
ON SOME OF THE OTHERS. JUST ONE
COMMENT. I THINK IN RESPONSE TO
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S COMMENTS FROM
SAN DIEGO, I THINK IN L A
KEEPING THE OPT IN IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT PART OF THE ALLOWING
MANY FOLKS THAT REPRESENT SOME
OF THE L A DISTRICTS TO BE ABLE
TO SUPPORT THIS, SO I JUST
WANTED TO MENTION THAT. THANKS.
THANK YOU, MR PATTERSON. THANKS
UM, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T GET
QUITE AS EXCITED ABOUT. 80 USES
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S QUIRK-SILVA.
BUT I DO GET PRETTY EXCITED
ABOUT IT. UM I UNDERSTAND WHERE
YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS. AND I
LIKE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
HERE, UM, IN A PAST LIFE WHEN I
WAS YOUNGER, MORE HAIR, LESS
KIDS, YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE THAT.
I DO. HAVE I STILL TO THIS DAY?
HAVE A BROKER'S LICENSE, AND,
UH, WE DID LOANS AND THINGS. AND
SO I DO THINK YOUR WITNESSES.
CORRECT. I THINK THIS IS MOSTLY
GOING TO BE A TOOL FOR PEOPLE
WITHOUT FINANCING, BECAUSE IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY COMPLICATED. IF
PEOPLE HAVE FINANCING. UM WHICH
IS WHY I'M CONCERNED IS BECAUSE
I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL
THE YOU KNOW ALL THE DICEY
THINGS GOING ON THE FINANCE. IT
SORT OF JUST BOGGLES MY MIND
WITH THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
COULD BE I LIKE THAT YOU'RE
WILLING TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION. I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE
GOING. I LIKE THAT. YOU STILL
WANT TO WORK ON IT? I THINK
RIGHT NOW I HAVE SOME CONCERNS
TO GET THERE. BUT THANKS A LOT
FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET
THERE AND HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME
IT GETS TO THE FLOOR IT'S AH,
WE'RE GOOD, YOU KNOW? SO THANKS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE
WE HAVE A MOTION. RIGHT? I HAVE
SIMPLY MORE CHOLERA, CHOLERA AND
A SECOND BY MS QUIRK-SILVA GREAT
, MR. TING WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE AGAIN? VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK AND
THE COMMENTS OF THE STAKEHOLDERS
. I THINK WE ALL WANT TO GET TO
THE TO THE SAME PLACE SO THAT
WE'RE ABLE TO ALLOW PROPERTY
OWNERS TO, UH SEPARATELY. CONVEY
80 US IN A WAY THAT'S SAFE. AND
SMART AND THAT WILL PROVIDE
SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL BENEFIT
WITH THAT RESPECT FOR US FREE
VOTE FOR MAYBE 10 33. THANK YOU
, MR TING. UM AND I KNOW YOU AND
YOURSELF HAVE PUT A LOT OF WORK,
ESPECIALLY THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE
DAYS INTO THE MILL IN
PARTICULAR, AS WE ARE PREPARING
FOR THE COMMITTEE. I HAVE NO
DOUBT YOU AS AUTHOR CAN GET THIS
INTO A REALLY GOOD PLACE, AND
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL
TODAY AND OBVIOUSLY A BIG
SUPPORTER OF ADIDAS AND THANK
YOU FOR YOUR WORK BOTH NOW AND
IN PREVIOUS YEARS IN THIS SPACE,
AND WITH THAT THE MOTION IS DUE
PAST AS AMENDED THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT
WICKS. WICKS. AYE. PATERSON
PERSON THAT VOTING KOREA COREY I
BEAR SUPER I CHOLERA, CHOLERA. I
QUIRK-SILVA I REALLY HEARD YOU.
QUIRK-SILVA NOTHING. QUIRK-SILVA
AYE. SANCHEZ CENTURIES. NO WARD
WARD. AYE. 6 TO 1. THAT BILL IS
OUT AND THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT.
WE HAVE MS BURNER. I BELIEVE YOU
ARE PRESENTING TWO BILLS TODAY.
MAYBE 5 89 AND A B 8 12? YES.
WHICH ONE? DO YOU WANT FIRST,
WHICHEVER YOU PREFER 12. 8 12.
GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS FIRST. I'D LIKE TO THANK
YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFER WORKING
WITH ME ON THIS BILL. THIS IS
ANOTHER TASHA BE SPECIAL. UM SO
I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK
YOU AND YOURSELF HAVE PUT INTO
IT. AND WE'RE, UH, MAYBE A 12
WOULD ALLOW A CITY COUNTY OR
CITY AND COUNTY TO SET ASIDE UP
TO 10% OF VERY LOW LOWER
MODERATE INCOME RESTRICTED
HOUSING WITHIN A STATE OR
LOCALLY DESIGNATED CULTURAL
DISTRICT FOR ARTISTS. ARTISTS
ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF OUR
CULTURAL COMMUNITIES AND HELP
PRESERVE THE CULTURAL FOOTPRINT
OF THOSE REGIONS. LAST FALL, I
TOURED A NUMBER OF CULTURAL
DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE,
AND WE SAW TIME AND TIME AND
TIME AGAIN. WE'VE BEEN ALAN AND
I WENT ON THIS CULTURAL ARTISTIC
TOUR. SEVERAL OF YOU JOIN US AT
VARIOUS PLACES, AND WE SAW IT
TIME AND TIME AGAIN. ALL THESE
CULTURAL DISTRICTS ARE IN SOME
FORM OF GENTRIFICATION. BECAUSE
WHEN YOU GET A CULTURALLY
DESIGNATED CULTURAL ARTS, STATE
DESIGNATED OR LOCALLY DESIGNATED
CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT
AUTOMATICALLY, YOU START PRICING
OUT THE ARTISTS WHO MAKE THAT
COMMUNITY SPECIAL. IT'S VERY,
VERY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER
DEMOGRAPHIC BECAUSE WE'RE
CREATING THE GENTRIFICATION
THROUGH THE DESIGNATION, WHICH
THE CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT
DESIGNATION HAS AN ECONOMIC
BENEFITS. SO YOU WANT TO HAVE
THAT. AND SO WE'VE SEEN SAN
FRANCISCO HAS BASICALLY LOST
MOST OF THEIR ARTISTS RELATED TO
THEIR CULTURE ARTS DISTRICT.
OTHER PLACES LIKE NEVADA CITIES
ARE RIGHT ON THE CUSP. SAN PEDRO
IS A LITTLE FAR BEHIND BALBOA
AND BARRIO LOGAN ARE, YOU KNOW
PROBABLY BARRIO LOGAN
EXPERIENCING IT NOW OCEANSIDE
THAT DIFFERENT, PROBABLY TWO
YEARS OUT, SO YOU'RE SEEING A
RANGE OF PROBLEMS THAT ARE
EXTERNALITY FROM THIS
DESIGNATION, AND THAT'S WHAT A B
8 12 IS TRYING TO SOLVE. MANY
CITIES AND COUNTIES DON'T THINK
THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SET
ASIDE DEED RESTRICTED UNITS. FOR
ARTISTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICTS.
A B 8 12 WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS THE FLEXIBILITY
NECESSARY TO SET ASIDE
AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR LOW INCOME
ARTISTS TO HELP PREVENT FURTHER
DISPLACEMENT OF THE ARTISTS THAT
MAKE THESE COMMUNITIES SPECIAL
APRIL IS ARTS, CULTURE AND
CREATIVITY MONTH. IT'S
IMPERATIVE THAT WE SUPPORT AND
PRESERVE THE CULTURE THAT HAS
HISTORICALLY BEEN PRESENT WITHIN
OUR CULTURAL COMMUNITIES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR IT. I VOTE.
WITH ME HERE TODAY IS JULIE
BAKER WITH FROM CALIFORNIANS FOR
THE ARTS. THANK YOU. GOOD
MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. JULI BAKER,
CEO, CALIFORNIA ARTS ADVOCATES
THERE IS A CLEAR NEED TO
INCREASE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR ARTISTS, CULTURAL
WORKERS AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS
WITHIN CULTURAL COMMUNITIES.
NATIONWIDE ARTISTS ARE RENT
BURDENED AND 80% OF CULTURAL
DISTRICTS, PUSHING OUT THE VERY
CORE OF A CULTURAL DISTRICT
ITSELF IN CALIFORNIA SURVEY BY
THE CITY OF BERKLEY IN 2021
HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AMONG ARTISTS
AND CULTURAL WORKERS ARE
EXPERIENCING DISPLACEMENT
PRESSURES DUE TO INCREASING
HOUSING PRICES IN CULTURAL
COMMUNITIES. THE SURVEY REVEALED
THAT WHILE MOST WORKING ARTISTS
AND CULTURAL WORKERS ARE HIGHLY
EDUCATED, 60% HAVE LET LOW VERY
LOW OR EXTREMELY LOW INCOME. 77%
OF RESPONDENTS INDICATED THEY
ARE RENT BURDENED WITH 68%
HAVING DIFFERENT SOURCES OF PART
TIME WORK TO MAKE ENDS MEET,
WHILE LOW INCOME IS PREVALENT
ACROSS A GROUP OF ARTISTS AND
CULTURAL WORKERS, THE RATE IS
DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGHER AMONG
BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR RESPONDENTS, IN FACT, IN
THE SAME YEAR IN LOS ANGELES,
SURVEYS FOUND THAT 27% OF
RESPONDENTS WHO IDENTIFIED AS
BYE POCKETS. THE ACRONYM GOES,
WE'RE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE
FOOD, INSECURITY, HOUSING
INSTABILITY AND INCREASED DEPTH
COMPARED TO WHITE RESPONDENTS.
CULTURAL ADDICT DISTRICTS ARE
TRIED AND TRUE WAY TO INCREASE
ECONOMIC VITALITY WHILE
STRENGTHENING THE CULTURAL
FABRIC OF COMMUNITIES. THEY
PROMOTE CULTURAL EQUITY BOOST
TOURISM DOLLARS ENCOURAGE MORE
LOCAL VISITORS, INCREASED
PROPERTY VALUES AND GENERATE
MORE MONEY FOR THE REGION AND
STATE. AND IF I CAN ADD THE
CULTURAL DISTRICTS IN NEVADA
COUNTY, WHERE I HAPPENED TO
LIVE, WHICH WAS A RURAL DISTRICT
GENERATES $46.9 MILLION IN TOTAL
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY PER YEAR 25.7
MILLION BY ORGANIZATIONS. 21.2
MILLION, AN EVENT RELATED
SPENDING BY THEIR AUDIENCES
SUPPORTS 869 FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT JOBS GENERATES 20.9
MILLION IN HOUSEHOLD INCOME TO
LOCAL RESIDENTS AND DELIVERS 5.1
MILLION IN LOCAL, STATE AND
GOVERNMENT REVENUE. SO IT IS
CRITICAL THAT WE KEEP THE PEOPLE
WHO CREATE CULTURAL DISTRICTS IN
THEM. SURVEYS ACROSS THE STATE
INDICATE THE HUGE DEMAND FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ARTISTS
KEEPING NEIGHBORHOODS AFFORDABLE
TO THE CULTURAL BEARERS AND OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND AVOIDING
THE DISPLACEMENT OF ARTISTS
PROTECTS OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE,
AND IT CREATES ROBUST ECONOMIC
ZONES. WITHOUT THEM. THE SPECIAL
CULTURE OF THE PLACE LEAVES THEM
LEAVES WITH THEM. DISPERSED AND
DILUTED, A CULTURAL DISTRICT IS
NO LONGER A CULTURAL DISTRICT IF
THOSE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT CANNOT
AFFORD TO LIVE AND WORK THERE,
THEMSELVES A B 8 12 WERE
REQUIRED THAT 10% OF AFFORDABLE
DEED RESTRICTED HOUSING IN
CULTURAL DISTRICT. WE RESERVED
FOR ARTISTS, OTHERS THIS IN NO
WAY MATCHES THE NEED. IT IS A
CRUCIAL STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION AND NO COST TO
TAXPAYERS. THIS IS AN EASY
REMEDY FOR A BIG PROBLEM. WE
URGE YOU TO SUPPORT MAYBE A 12.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AN
ADDITIONAL FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO
EXPRESS SUPPORT. MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS ALEX TORRES HERE TODAY
IN MY CAPACITY AS A BOARD MEMBER
FOR THE CALIFORNIA CAPITAL
VENUES, COALITION AND
UNIFICATION OF THE BRICK AND
MORTAR, INDEPENDENT VENUES AND
FESTIVAL PROMOTERS IN THE
SACRAMENTO REGION AND SUPPORT
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. PRIMARY
WITNESSES AND OPPOSITION. AN
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION. WE'LL BRING IT BACK
TO COMMITTEE, MR WARD, THEN MISS
CARILLO. THANK YOU. I'M VERY
EXCITED THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS
BILL FORWARD SOME MEMBER
BOERNER. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT THIS WAS TAILORED IN THE
WAY JUST LIKE WE'RE LOOKING FOR
TEACHERS OR FOR OTHER
PROFESSIONS THAT WE'RE THINKING
ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW GREAT MIDDLE
INCOME CALIFORNIANS THAT MAKE
MAKE OUR COMMUNITY SPECIAL. UM
AND I HAVE ONE OF THE FIRST
CULTURAL DISTRICTS IN MY
DISTRICT, OF COURSE, BALBOA
PARK. WHICH DOESNT HAVE HOUSING
BECAUSE IT'S A PARK, SO I WOULD
MAYBE THINK OF THIS BILL GOES
FORWARD ABOUT EVEN BEING MORE
EXPANSIVE. IT'S SURROUNDED BY
VERY DENSE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND SO
IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE
PERMITTED TO BE WITHIN ONE MILE
OF A CULTURAL DISTRICT, THAT
COULD BE SOMETHING TO IMPROVE
THE SIGHTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THEN,
UH, WE'RE WE'RE IN. WE COULD
ACTUALLY HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THESE ARTISTS THAT WITHIN
REACH OF THE CULTURAL DISTRICTS
, SO FOR CLARIFICATION ALLOWS
ANY CITY OR COUNTY THAT HAS A
LOCAL OR STATE DESIGNATED
CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT TO SET
ASIDE UP TO 10% OF ITS HOUSING.
SO THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO HAVING
BOTH BARRIO LOGAN AND BALBOA
COULD SET ASIDE ANY PART OF
HOUSING. THERE'S NO TIE TO THE
TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE CULTURAL
DISTRICT SO YOU COULD GO AHEAD
AND DO THAT. OKAY. GOOD
CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. MS
CARILLO AND THEN MR PATTERSON.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR AND I JUST WANT TO COMMEND
THE AUTHOR AND OUR PRIMARY
WITNESS FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT
THEY'RE DOING, UM, FOR THE ARTS
, UM IN LOS ANGELES, THE ARTS
DISTRICT HAS BECOME MASSIVELY
GENTRIFIED WHERE YOU NO LONGER
SEE THE ARTIST COMMUNITY THAT
ONCE EXISTED. THEY HAVE BEEN
INCREDIBLY PRICED OUT. THIS IS A
COMMUNITY WHERE WHERE ONCE
ABANDONED WAREHOUSE WORK CREATE
CREATED INCREDIBLE, UH, ARTS AND
, UM, SCULPTURES AND JUST
BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN LOS ANGELES
, AND THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO
AFFORD TO BE IN WHAT IS THE ARTS
COMMUNITY AND THE ARTS DISTRICT
IN LOS ANGELES. THEY'RE MOVING
AWAY TO OTHER COMMUNITIES IN MY
DISTRICT IN THE DISTRICT OF AL
SERENO, RIGHT? IN THE COMMUNITY
OF WILSON AND ALL RIGHT BEHIND
CALC DELAY. IT'S A OLD WAREHOUSE
DISTRICT. ALSO, THAT IS NOW
ARTISTS ARE COMING INTO IT
BECAUSE IT'S A BIT MORE
AFFORDABLE THAN WHAT THE ARTS
DISTRICT TRADITIONALLY HAS BEEN
, BUT IT'S CAUSED MASSIVE
DISPLACEMENT OF CULTURE AND ARTS
IN LOS ANGELES. UH, IN ADDITION
TO THAT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
TO ELIMINATE $20 MILLION FOR
ARTS DISTRICTS TO BEAT FOR NEW
ARTS DISTRICTS TO BE RECOGNIZED
ACROSS THE STATE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS ALSO DAMAGING TO
WHAT COULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT,
UM, ART COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY
AS WE EXIT OUT OF A PANDEMIC. WE
OFTEN TALK ABOUT HOW THE ARTS
ARE SO IMPORTANT. WELL, IT
DOESN'T MATTER IF WE DON'T HAVE
FUNDING FOR THEM RIGHT? WE CAN
TALK ABOUT IT. BUT IF THERE'S NO
FUNDING, AND THERE'S NO
OPPORTUNITIES, AND THERE'S NO
LEGISLATION, AND THERE'S NO
HOUSING WE MISS OUT ON REALLY
SUPPORTING OUR ARTISTS COMMUNITY
WHICH MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES
THRIVE AND REALLY ARE THE
IDENTITY. TOO MANY COMMUNITIES
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL. I
WOULD LOVE TO BE CO AUTHOR WHEN
THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR CARILLO.
THANK YOU AND MR PATTERSON.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM YOU KNOW
, MY I'VE SAID IN THIS COMMITTEE
BEFORE THAT MY MOTHER LIVES IN A
SENIOR AFFORDABLE APARTMENT UNIT
IN NAPA, WHERE SHE'S A WAITRESS
TO THIS DAY, AND SHE WORKS AT
BASICALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF
THE LOCAL DINER. I GUESS YOU
COULD SAY AND, YOU KNOW, PAYING
FOR THAT REALLY WOULDN'T BE
POSSIBLE. UH YEAH, UNLESS IT WAS
AFFORDABLE. I MEAN, SHE COULDN'T
AFFORD HOUSING ON HER OWN WITH
WITH WHAT SHE MAKES, BUT THAT'S
WHY I, YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, I
REALLY STRUGGLE WITH THIS ONE.
AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE
DOING, UM, FOR YOUR DISTRICT AND
THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT SOMEBODY
LIKE MY MOM ISN'T GONNA QUALIFY
FOR YOU KNOW IN ARTIST IS SHE
ISN'T GONNA QUALIFY FOR A
FIREFIGHTER OR A TEACHER. OR YOU
KNOW, AND SO THE MORE UNITS THAT
COME OFF LINE, UM, FOR SOMEBODY
LIKE MY MOM, YOU KNOW THAT THAT
JUST MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT,
YOU KNOW, FOR HER, SO, SO I'M
RESPECTFULLY GOING TO OPPOSE
THIS BILL, AND I KNOW YOU'RE
TRYING TO GET ME TO SUPPORT ONE
BILL SOMEDAY, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW,
I IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE
JUST FROM MY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS
WHY I HAVE CONCERNS WITH THIS
ONE. BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOU
REPRESENTING YOUR DISTRICT AND
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, BUT I
DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THAT.
THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY DON'T
REPRESENTED CULTURAL ARTS
DISTRICT. THIS IS THIS IS DONE
COUNT AS SOMETHING AS CAPACITY
AS MY SHARE OF ARTS
ENTERTAINMENT LAST YEAR. AND WE
SAW THE NEED UP AND DOWN STATE.
IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS A
RURAL OR URBAN. IT DIDN'T MATTER
WHERE IT WAS REPUBLICAN OR
DEMOCRAT. CULTURAL ARTS
DISTRICTS, LOCAL OR STATE HAVE
AN EXTERNALITY THAT DISPLACES
THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE THE
SPECIAL SPACE AND THAT
UNDERMINES THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THOSE
AREAS. SO THIS IS ONLY FOR AREAS
THAT HAVE, LIKE NAPA DOESN'T
HAVE. MARIN HAS IT. BUT NOW IF
IT DOESN'T HAVE A CULTURAL,
LOCAL OR STATE DESIGNATED
CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT SO YOUR
MOTHER WOULDN'T BE AFFECTED.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE PLACES THAT
HAVE THIS SPECIFIC. ECONOMIC
EXTERNALITY OF HAVING SOMETHING
THAT'S SO AMAZING. AND YOU KNOW,
GREAT ART COMES OUT OF GREAT
STRUGGLE. AND WE HAVE ALL
STRUGGLED SO MUCH OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS THAT I THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND I'M
GLAD WE HAVE OUR BUDGET
SUPPORTER SHARE HERE WHO WAS
ADVOCATING FOR THE ARTS BECAUSE
PUT CHANNELING ALL OF THAT
STRUGGLE INTO GREAT ART WILL
CREATE GREAT ECONOMIC, UM,
DEVELOPMENT IN OUR STATE AND SO,
BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP THE PEOPLE
WHO CREATE THAT. AND GIVE THEM A
PLACE TO BE OR WHERE UNDERMINING
OUR OWN ECONOMIC POTENTIAL. BUT
I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE ERROR I
UNDERSTAND AND I'M SURE THERE'S
ANOTHER TB, TASHA BURNER SPECIAL
THAT YOU CAN SUPPORT ONE DAY, MR
PATTERSON. THANK YOU, MR
QUIRK-SILVA. AH! AS THE CURRENT
ARTS AND CHAIR. UM IN
ENTERTAINMENT, TOURISM SPORTS. I
DO SUPPORT THIS BILL. I DO HAVE
SOME QUESTIONS ON YOU SAID 10%
OF THE UNITS TO BE AFFORDABLE
FOR ARTISTS. WHAT WOULD BE THE
CRITERIA? I GUESS? BECAUSE EVEN
THOUGH WE ALL KNOW OF AND HAVE
SEEN VERY YOUNG, WORKING ARTISTS
THAT ARE OUT OF VERY LOW INCOME
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WHEN YOU GO
INTO THE ARCH, YOU'RE NOT MAKING
UNLESS YOU'RE YOU KNOW,
HOLLYWOOD OR OR, YOU KNOW,
SELLING PAINTINGS THAT MAJOR
EXHIBIT YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT
HAVING A HIGH INCOME, BUT I
GUESS ONE OF MY THINGS IS WHO IS
GONNA GET INTO THESE UNITS. HOW
LONG WOULD THEY STAY IN? IS
THERE A CRITERIA FOR THEIR
INCOME TO BE CONSIDERED? BEING
AN ARTIST IS ONE. BUT WHAT WOULD
BE OTHER CRITERIAS? SO THERE ARE
TWO CRITERIA? ONE UM AND WE PUT
IN THE BILL SPECIFICALLY TO
CRITERIA ONE THAT THEY MADE THE
INCOME LEVEL OF WHATEVER THE
DEED RESTRICTED LEVEL IS SO
THERE'S VERY LOW, LOW AND
MODERATE INCLUDED IN THE BILL.
SO THAT DETERMINES THE AM I, UM
, AND THAT'S DETERMINED BY AMY
AND THE OTHER THING IS A YEARLY
CHECKING OF THAT INCOME. AND A
YEARLY CHECKING OF THEIR STATUS
AS WORKING IN THE R AS A
CULTURAL OR ARTISTS ARE ARTISTS
OR CULTURAL, UM, WORKER AND THAT
IS BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE PEOPLE
. UM YOU WANT TO KEEP THE
PIPELINE OF CREATIVITY COMING
THROUGH. SO ONCE YOU HAVE
ARTISTS THAT ARE LIVING THERE,
AND THEY'RE SUCCESSFUL THEY
SHOULD MOVE ON, AND YOU SHOULD
CREATE SPACE FOR SOMETHING ELSE
, AND THAT'S THE YEARLY CHECKING
AND WHAT THE BILL DOES IS. IT
CREATES THE POSSIBILITY AND
CREATES THE CLARITY AND LAW THAT
A CITY OR COUNTY CAN DO THIS. IT
DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY OTHER CITY
OR CAN I DO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
TO PASS A LOCAL ORDINANCE AND
THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH
THEIR LOCAL PROCESS TO DO A
YEARLY INCOME AND ARTISTS,
WORKING VERIFICATION PROCESS AND
EACH CITY COULD DO THAT
THEMSELVES THAT THAT CLARIFIES
GIVES A LOT MORE CONFIDENCE
BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A
HUGE AMOUNT OF IF YOU WANT TO
SAY COMPETITION FOR THESE VERY
SLIM AMOUNT OF INVENTORY RELATED
TO AFFORDABLE UNITS, SO MAKING
SURE THERE'S PROCESSES TO CHECK
IN MAKING SURE THAT THEY INDEED
STILL QUALIFY AND AGAIN. WE ALSO
ARE HOPING FOR THEM THAT THEY
GRADUATE OUT OF THAT, SO
SOMEBODY ELSE CAN COME IN TO THE
UNITS THAT REALLY ARE IN THAT
PLACE. BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THE
BILL IS MOVED AND MOVED THE BILL
THINK WE HAVE A MOTION AND A
SECOND, SO THE ONE THING I WOULD
SAY IS, WE SAY UP TO 10% SO ANY
BIT DEPENDING ON THE NEED AND A
CITY OR COUNTY OR CITY AND
COUNTY. UM THEY CAN SET IT AT
THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL AND
DEPENDING ON THE NEED THAT THEY
SEE OUTSIDE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
SOME PLACES. UM LIKE MAYBE
NEVADA CITY LIKE TRUCKEE. UM
THAT MIGHT GO UP TO THAT 10%
LEVEL BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF
THEIR BIG ECONOMIC DRIVERS, AND
THEY NEED TO HAVE THAT YOU MIGHT
SEE A PLACE LIKE OCEAN CYCLE AT
LIKE 5% BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
THERE YET. WHAT THEY'RE TRYING
TO DO IS PREVENT THE
GENTRIFICATION SO THEY MIGHT
CHOOSE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. BUT
THE BILL DOESN'T DICTATE THAT WE
JUST PUT A CEILING AT 10% SO
CITIES AND COUNTIES CAN
DETERMINE WITHIN THEIR OWN. UM
LOCAL NEEDS WHAT THAT WOULD BE,
AND THAT DOES KEEP, YOU KNOW A
LARGE DEGREE OF THE HOUSING
STOCK AVAILABLE FOR OTHER TYPES
OF WORKERS. WE DIDN'T WANT TO
REALLY GO TOO FAR AND SAY 50% OR
WHATEVER, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE
THAT THAT COULD CAUSE NEGATIVE
EXTERNALITIES WITH SOMETHING
ELSE THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND, MR
BERNARD, YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR AN I VOTE
. GREAT THANK YOU. AND HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY
APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON IT. AND
I KNOW YOU DID THE TOUR
RECENTLY, WHICH WAS PROBABLY
PRETTY ILLUMINATING AND WE SEE
SOME OF THESE CHALLENGES IN MY
DISTRICT AS WELL. THE AMENDMENT
IS DO YOU PASS THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE AND ARTS,
ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS AND
TOURISM? WEEKS WEEKS. PATTERSON
THERE'S NO KOREA. HI. CAREER

NORTH COUNTY, SAN DIEGO. HAVING
STAFF WHO IDENTIFIES LGBTQ
CREATES A SAFE SPACE AND ALLOWS
FOR SERVICE DELIVERY WITH TRAUMA
INFORMED APPROACH FOR LGBTQ
YOUTH DURING THIS VULNERABLE
TIME. DUE TO THE RESOURCE
CONSTRAINTS. THE UNICORN HOMES
PROGRAM IS A VOLUNTEER ONLY
PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS HOST
FAMILIES TO OPEN UP THEIR HOMES
FOR LGBTQ YOUTH EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS. SIMILAR PROGRAMS,
CALLED HOST HOMES EXIST IN
DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO LGBTQ
COMMUNITY CENTER ELLA LGBT
CENTER, THE SACRAMENTO LGBT
COMMUNITY CENTER THAT HELPED
HOUSE LGBTQ YOUTH EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS AND L G B T Q.
AFFIRMING HOMES. THE DOWNTOWN
SAN DIEGO AND LA PROGRAMS
PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF FINANCIAL
SUPPORT TO THE HOST FAMILY TO
OFFSET THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
YOUTH STAYING IN THEIR HOME
CRITICAL TO MAKING HOST HOMES
SUSTAINABLE OVER TIME.
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO CHALLENGES
ATTRIBUTED TO THE PANDEMIC, THE
HOST HOMES PROGRAM AT THE
SACRAMENTO LGBT CENTER HAD TO
END ITS OPERATIONS A FEW MONTHS
AGO. THEY MADE THE DIFFICULT
DECISION TO DIVERT THE FUNDS
FROM THE HOST HOMES PROGRAM TO
CONTINUE OFFERING THEIR YOUTH
SHELTER. YOUNG LGBT Q. ADULTS
WANT TO BE ACCEPTED AND SEEN AS
HOLISTIC AND VALUABLE HUMAN
BEINGS WITH MULTIDIMENSIONAL
IDENTITIES AND STORIES OF BOTH
STRUGGLE AND RESILIENCE,
ESTABLISHING A UNICORN'S HOME
PILOT PROJECT BUT NOT ONLY
PROVIDE STABLE HOUSING FOR LGBTQ
YOUTH, EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
AND ALSO PROVIDE A PATH TO
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES JOB
READINESS. AND INDEPENDENT
LIVING SKILLS THROUGH L G B T Q
CENTERS. THE UNICORN HOMES
PROGRAM DOES NOT REQUIRE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW BUILT
INFRASTRUCTURE, MAKING A LOW
COST FLEXIBLE AND VALUABLE
STEPPING STONE WHILE YOUTH WAIT
FOR MORE PERMANENT SOLUTIONS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE
AND I HAVE WITH ME HERE DEGREE
TODAY. CRAIG PULSIPHER. DID I
GET THAT RIGHT? LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR WITH EQUALITY,
CALIFORNIA THANK YOU. GOOD
MORNING. CRAIG, POLLSTER ON
BEHALF OF EQUALITY, CALIFORNIA
VERY PROUD TO BE HERE TODAY IN
SUPPORT OF A B 589, ACCORDING TO
DATA FROM THE TREVOR PROJECT,
NEARLY A THIRD OF LGBTQ YOUTH
REPORTED EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS OR HOUSING
INSTABILITY AT SOME POINT IN
THEIR LIVES, AND THESE RATES ARE
EVEN HIGHER AMONG TRANS AND NON
BINARY YOUTH AND LGBTQ YOUTH OF
COLOR. MANY OF THESE YOUTH HAVE
BEEN DISOWNED BY THEIR FAMILIES
OR ESCAPING EMOTIONAL AND
PHYSICAL ABUSE BECAUSE OF THEIR
SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER
IDENTITY. BUT FAMILY REJECTION
IS CERTAINLY NOT THE ONLY CAUSE
AGING OUT OF THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM, POVERTY AND SHORTAGES OF
SHELTERS AND HOUSING PROGRAMS
CAN ALSO LEAVE MANY OF THESE
YOUTH WITH NOWHERE TO GO. L G B
T Q YOUTH WHO EXPERIENCE
HOMELESSNESS EXPERIENCE HIGHER
RATES OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES,
INCLUDING DEPRESSION, PTSD AND
SUICIDE. THEY WERE ALSO AT EVEN
GREATER RISK OF VIOLENCE,
TRAFFICKING AND FURTHER
EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE AND
SHELTERS AROUND THE STREETS. LOW
BARRIER HOUSING PROGRAMS ARE
DESPERATELY NEEDED TO SUPPORT
LGBTQ YOUTH ACROSS THE STATE,
ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE
WELCOMING, AFFIRMING AND INCLUDE
ACCESS TO OTHER SUPPORT SERVICES
. SEVERAL LGBT CENTERS ACROSS
THE STATE, INCLUDING INCENDIARY
AGO IN L. A CURRENTLY HAVE
PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND SUPPORT
SERVICES FOR LGBTQ YOUTH. AND
MAYBE 589 WOULD HELP TO BUILD ON
AND EVALUATE THESE EXISTING
PROGRAMS. THE FIVE YEAR POP
PILOT WOULD PROVIDE FUNDING TO
LGBTQ COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP IDENTIFY
AND TRAINED VOLUNTEER FAMILIES
WHO COULD PROVIDE YOUTH WITH A
SAFE AND AFFIRMING PLACE TO STAY
. THE PROGRAM WOULD HELP TO
PROMOTE HOUSING STABILITY FOR
LGBTQ YOUTH WITH AN ULTIMATE
GOAL. OF REUNITING THEM WITH
THEIR FAMILIES WHENEVER
POSSIBLE. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
YEARS, THE LEGISLATURE HAS
RIGHTLY MADE HOMELESSNESS ONE OF
ITS TOP PRIORITIES, YET PROGRAMS
TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF
LGBTQ YOUTH REMAINED FAR TOO
LIMITED. A B 589 IS IMPORTANT
STEP TO HELP ADDRESS THE UNIQUE
CHALLENGES FACING THESE
VULNERABLE YOUTH AND I
RESPECTFULLY URGE HER I VOTE.
THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY PRIMARY
WITNESSES TO TESTIFY TODAY? I'M
SORRY, CRAIG. UH ARE THERE ANY,
UM OTHER STATEMENTS AND SUPPORT
85 89. OKAY ANY AND WE HAVE NO
OPPOSITION WITNESSES. ANY
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HERE IN
OPPOSITION TO A V 8.9589. OKAY
SEE NO ONE. BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE. MR ZABAR. I HAVE TO
LEAVE IT SHORTLY. BUT I WAS
STATING BECAUSE I LOVE THIS BILL
. I KNOW. UH MY COLLEAGUE FROM
ORANGE COUNTY HAS TOLD ME ABOUT
IT A NUMBER OF TIMES. I THINK
IT'S REALLY REALLY, REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR ALL THE REASONS
THAT CRAIG AND YOU, UH INDICATED
, UM YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT YOU KNOW HAS BEEN A HUGE
PRIORITY IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
IS REALLY SORT OF BREAKING THIS
CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS, BREAKING
A CYCLE OF ALL THE DISPARITIES
THAT THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY FACES
AND HEALTH AND WELL BEING. AND
YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WHAT SORT OF
HAPPENING WE'VE GOT. EITHER KIDS
BEING BULLIED IN SCHOOLS, OR WE
HAVE FAMILY SITUATIONS. THEY'RE
NOT SUPPORTIVE. UM AND BASICALLY
, YOU KNOW THESE KIDS AS I
DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE
STATISTIC IS NOW UP TO A THIRD.
IT WASN'T THAT HIGH WHEN I WAS
AT EQUALITY, CALIFORNIA BUT THAT
A THIRD OF LGBTQ YOUTH ARE NOW
FACING HOMELESSNESS. AND, YOU
KNOW, THIS IS THE KIND OF
PROGRAM THAT'S TAILORED TO LGBTQ
YOUTH, ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH
SOME OF THE STANDARD PROGRAMS
RELATED TO HOMELESSNESS AND
HOUSING IS THAT OFTEN THEY'RE
HOSTILE. THEY'RE RUN BY
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE
HOSTILE TO LGBT QU. SO I JUST
WANTED TO IF I COULD VOTE FOR
THIS 10 TIMES, I WOULD DO THAT.
I JUST WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR.
I WANT TO THANK OF QUALITY
CALIFORNIA. I HAVE TO LEAVE TO
GO TO SOMETHING ELSE. BUT WHEN I
COME BACK, I'LL BE VOTING AS
MANY TIMES AS THEY PERMIT ME TO.
SO ONE PERSON. ONE VOTE. THANK
YOU, MR I'M FROM SAN DIEGO, NOT
ORANGE COUNTY. UM BUT I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT. AND YOU KNOW,
WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS PROGRAM, WE
WILL LOOK AT THE IMPACT. IT'S
JUST SO IMPORTANT. AND THIS IS
ANOTHER TASHA BE SPECIAL, SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
I DIDN'T DO CLOSING. SORRY MAYBE
OTHER PEOPLE WON'T SPEAK. SO
WERE THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS?
OKAY C NINE. I'D LIKE TO ADD
COMMENTS ON MY OWN. UH YOU KNOW,
THIS IS REALLY TIMELY. JUST LAST
WEEKEND IN HILLCREST. WE HAD A
CHANCE TO OPEN UP THE RESCUE
CENTER. AND WHILE THAT'S A DAY
YOU CENTER FOR DROPPING FOR A
LOT OF IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS
AND SOCIAL SERVICES. THAT ARE
SAN DIEGO LGBT CENTER CAN
PROVIDE. ONE OF THE SUBJECTS
THAT COMES UP, OF COURSE, IS
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES, AND WE
PARTICULARLY NO AND I'LL
UNDERSCORE WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW
IS THE VICE CHAIR OF THE LGBTQ
CAUCUS HERE LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS
THAT THE INCIDENT THAT WE SEE OF
YOUTH ARE AT RISK OR ARE
HOMELESS IS DISPROPORTIONATELY
HIGH AND IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE
HAVE TRANSITIONAL FACILITY IN
EAST VILLAGE NOW IN YOUR
DISTRICT AND ITS SUNBURST. IT'S
A WONDERFUL FACILITY. UM REALLY
ONE OF THE GROUND FIRST
GROUNDBREAKING ONES OF ITS KIND
IN THE ENTIRE STATE, LARGELY
PRIVATELY FUNDED, UH AND SO WE
CAN USE THIS KIND OF A PROGRAM.
I THINK TO BUILD ON THOSE KINDS
OF MODELS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
INCORPORATING HOUSING FIRST
ELEMENTS AS WELL INTO THIS KIND
OF A PROGRAM. I DON'T WANT TO
FORGET THE OTHER END OF THE AGE
SPECTRUM AS WELL BEING ABLE TO
FIGURE OUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SOLUTIONS FOR OUR SENIORS OR
LGBT SENIORS AS WELL THAT DON'T
OFTEN HAVE UM FAMILY SUPPORT
SYSTEMS TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT
THEM AS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE
HELPED CHAMPION LOS ANGELES HAS
NOW BEEN CHAMPIONING. SO WE HAVE
TO WORK ON BOTH SIDES. I THINK
OF THE AGE SPECTRUM HERE, AND
I'M REALLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE
DOING THAT. YOU KNOW YOU'RE
THROUGH THIS BILL HERE TODAY
WITH THAT ALTERNATE BACK OVER TO
THE CHAIR FOR CLOSING COMMENTS.
THANK YOU. AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? EXCELLENT IN MY CLOTHES
EARLIER, BUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR ANOTHER MISSED THAT. NO, NO,
I'M SURE IT WAS BRILLIANT. UM UH
, WELL, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FOR WORKING
WITH MY STAFF AS WELL AND TAKING
THE AMENDMENT TO CLARIFY THAT
THIS PROGRAM MUST COMPLY WITH
HOUSING. FIRST STATE IS A
HOUSING FIRST MODEL BECAUSE WE
BELIEVE IN EVIDENCE BASED POLICY
MAKING. SO WITH THAT I'M HAPPY
TO SUPPORT THE BILLETS DOUX
PASSED THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON
HUMAN SERVICES. UM WEEKS I
PERSON CARILLO. THE BERBER.
CHOLERA CHOLERA. I QUIRK-SILVA
QUIRK-SILVA. AYE SANCHEZ.
CENTURIES, NOT BOARDING. WARD
DIÆN. THAT THERE'S FOUR VOTES
WILL LEAVE THAT ON CALL FOR
FOLKS TO TAKE THAT ON. THANKS,
MR TURNER. AND NEXT WE HAVE MR
JONES, SAWYER AND I BELIEVE MR
JONES SAWYER, YOU HAVE TWO BILLS
. MAYBE 86 A B 17 34. CITY OF L
A HERE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO 17
34 1ST. GREAT PLEASE SPEAK INTO
THE MIX THAT CONSTRUCTIONS A
LITTLE LOUD. OKAY. THANK YOU. I
KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
CONSTRUCTION. WOW I EMPTIED THE
ROOM. OKAY UM. CHAIR MEMBERS. I
WOULD LIKE TO START BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENTS. I
PRESENT A B 17 34, WHICH AMENDS
THAT SURPLUS LAND ACT TO ENABLE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO
DISPOSE OF PUBLICLY OWNED
PROPERTIES TO DEVELOP MUCH
NEEDED EMERGENCY AND SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING MEMBERS. AS WE ALL KNOW
, CALIFORNIA HAS THE NATION'S
LARGEST ON HOUSED POPULATION,
YET ONLY A PRACTICE IN THAT
NEEDED AFFORDABLE HOUSING JUST
CONSTRUCTED LIKE MOST OF THE
STATE, THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
IS EXPERIENCING A HOUSING
CRISIS. IN 2019 L. A HAD A
HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF COST BURDEN
RENTER HOUSEHOLDS THAN ANY OTHER
MAJOR AMERICAN CITY NEARLY 60%
JUST LAST YEAR, THERE WAS NEARLY
24,000 AND HELD INDIVIDUALS IN
LOS ANGELES ALONE. SINCE
ASSUMING OFFICE, MAYOR KAREN
BASS HAS TAKEN CRITICAL STEPS TO
ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS AND
EXPEDITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PRODUCTION. UNDER HER LEADERSHIP
, THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
DECLARED A LOCAL STATE OF
EMERGENCY ON HOMELESSNESS AND
MOVED TO STREAMLINE APPROVALS
FOR 100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS AS WELL AS MASSIVE
MAXIMIZING THE USE OF CITY OWNED
PROPERTIES FOR TEMPORARY AND
PERMANENT HOUSING. UNFORTUNATELY
THE SURPLUS LAND ACT HAS PROVEN
TO BE A BARRIER TO UTILIZING
PUBLICLY OWNED PROPERTY FOR
HOMELESS RELIEF, DESPITE CURRENT
LAW, PROVIDING SOME EXEMPTIONS
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
, NEGOTIATING DEALS THAT MEET F
L A REQUIREMENTS OFFER PROLONGED
THE PROCESS IN THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES. THE PROCESS THE
PROJECT'S NEARLY COME TO RARELY
COME TO FRUITION AS SUCH A B 17
34 AMENDS THE S L. A TO ALLOW
PRO HOUSING JURISDICTIONS THAT
DECLARE LOCAL EMERGENCY ON
HOMELESSNESS AND ARE COMPLIANT
WITH THE STATE HOUSING LAW MORE
QUICKLY, UH, DISPOSE OF PUBLICLY
OWNED LAND TO DEVELOP EMERGENCY
SHELTERS AND TRANSITIONAL
SUPPORT OF OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNDER THIS BILL, LOCAL AGENCIES
WHO MEET THEIR CRITERIA COULD
DISPOSE OF SURPLUS LAND FOR
THESE PURPOSES AND LESS THAN SIX
MONTHS HALF THE TIME. IT CAN
TAKE TODAY. ULTIMATELY A B 17 34
WERE EMPOWERED GOOD ACTORS LIKE
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES WHO SEEK
TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING CRISIS
WITH TOOLS TO EXPLOIT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PRODUCTION. WITH ME TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL IS
JENNA HORNSTOCK, DEPUTY MAYOR OF
HOUSING FOR THE CIVIL LOS
ANGELES MAYOR, KAREN BASS. THANK
YOU. HI GOOD MORNING, MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I HEARD A
MOVE AND APPROVAL. SHOULD I
STILL PROVIDE MY TESTIMONY? OKAY
MY NAME IS JENNA HORNSTOCK. AND
I'M THE DEPUTY MAYOR OF HOUSING
FOR LOS ANGELES MAYOR KAREN
BASS. SHE'S THE SPONSOR OF THIS
LEGISLATION. WE ALL KNOW THAT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
FACING A HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS. AND NOWHERE
IS THIS CRISIS MORE APPARENT AND
THEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES,
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES,
REPRESENTS ALMOST 10% OF THE
STATE'S POPULATION, BUT NEARLY
25% OF THE STATES ON HOUSED
POPULATION. MAYOR BOSS HAS MADE
CONFRONTING THIS CRISIS WITH THE
URGENCY. IT REQUIRES HER TOP
PRIORITY. ON DAY ONE, THE MAYOR
DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY ON
HOMELESSNESS, AND THE WEEKS THAT
FOLLOWED, THE MAYOR ISSUED THREE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVES. THE FIRST
EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE STREAMLINED
APPROVALS FOR 100% AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND TEMPORARY HOUSING
PROJECTS. THE SECOND LAUNCHED
INSIDE SAFE OUR NEW, CITYWIDE,
PROACTIVE HOUSING LED STRATEGY
TO BRING PEOPLE INSIDE FROM
TENCENT ENCAMPMENTS, WHICH I'M
PLEASED TO SAY HAS ALREADY
BROUGHT INSIDE 1100 PEOPLE
ACTUALLY MORE. AND OUR THIRD
EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE MAXIMIZES
THE USE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY
FOR TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT
HOUSING. THAT FINAL EXECUTIVE
DIRECTIVE IS THE IMPETUS FOR THE
BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY. THE
DIRECTIVE REQUIRES THAT THE
MAYOR BE PROVIDED WITH AN
INVENTORY OF UNUSED
UNDERUTILIZED CITY PROPERTY THAT
COULD BE USED FOR TEMPORARY OR
PERMANENT HOUSING THAT A FORMAL
ASSESSMENT OF EACH SITE FOLLOW
THAT. BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT,
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE DESIGNATES
WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING SHOULD BE
BUILT ON WHICH LOCATIONS THE
CITY DEPARTMENTS PRIORITIZED
TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT HOUSING
AND ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY
REVIEWS, PAPERWORK AND RED TAPE.
TO SAVE LIVES, RESTORE OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS AND HOUSE
ANGELENOS IMMEDIATELY. WE MUST
URGENTLY PRIORITIZE
UNDERUTILIZED EXISTING CITY ON
PROPERTY. IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE
THE EFFICACY OF THIS DIRECTIVE
AND ENSURE THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES CAN ACT WITH URGENCY TO
MEET THE MOMENT WE MUST AMEND
THE SURPLUS LAND ACT. THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT WAS DESIGNED TO
PROMOTE AN INCREASE IN THE
SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
UNFORTUNATELY IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE S L A. IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES
HAS PROVEN TO BE AN IMPEDIMENT
TO UTILIZING CITY OWNED PROPERTY
TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS FIRST
BEFORE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAN
TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF SURPLUS
PROPERTY, IT MUST OFFER THE
PROPERTY TO CERTAIN OTHER
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND A LIST
OF QUALIFIED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS. ALSO BEFORE PROPERTY
CAN BE TRANSFERRED, EVEN IF THE
CITY DETERMINES THE PROPERTY
EXEMPT FROM THE S L. A
TRANSACTION MUST BE REVIEWED BY
THE STATE'S DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. THIS PROCESS IS
STAFF INTENSIVE AND VERY TIME
CONSUMING. FINALLY THE CURRENT
LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THE USE OF
SURPLUS PROPERTY FOR INTERIM
HOUSING, WHICH IS DESPERATELY
NEEDED TO GET PEOPLE STABILIZED
OFF THE STREETS ON A PATHWAY
INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. A B 17
34 ENABLES PRO HOUSING
JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE A
COMPLIANT HOUSING ELEMENT AND
HAVE DECLARED A LOCAL EMERGENCY
RELATED TO HOMELESSNESS TO
DISPOSE OF LAND FOR THE PURPOSES
OF DEVELOPING INTERIM HOUSING,
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND 100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHOUT
ADHERING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SURPLUS LAND ACT. THIS
LEGISLATION WILL GIVE RECOGNIZED
GOOD ACTOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS,
ADDITIONAL TOOLS TO ADDRESS
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS.
LIKE THE EMERGENCY THAT IT IS.
IT ALLOWS US TO ACT WITH MORE
EFFICIENCY AND URGENCY AND
IMPORTANTLY, IT IS CONSISTENT
WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE SURPLUS
LAND ACT. IN A YEAR WHERE
ADDITIONAL STATE INVESTMENTS IN
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS WILL BE
HARD TO COME BY. THIS
LEGISLATION OFFERS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MEANINGFULLY
ADDRESS CALIFORNIA'S
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS, WITH NO
ADDITIONAL COST TO THE STATE. WE
APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE STAFF
ASSISTANCE TO ASSURE ENSURE
APPROPRIATE ACCOUNTABILITY AND
OVERSIGHT PROVISIONS ARE
INCORPORATED INTO THE BILL.
FINALLY WE THINK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOHN SAWYER FOR
AUTHORING THIS IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION AND STRONGLY URGE
YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ANY OTHER FOLKS WANT TO
EXPRESS SUPPORT? PRIMARY
WITNESSES AND OPPOSITION. AN
ADDITIONAL FOCUS IN OPPOSITION.
OKAY WE'LL BRING IT BACK HERE TO
COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS? WE HAVE
A MOTION. AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
GREAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
RESPECTFULLY FBI VOTE GREAT,
WELL APPRECIATE THE BILL. BIG
FAN OF THE NEW MAYOR AND EXCITED
ABOUT HER LEADERSHIP. UH AND
WITH THAT THE MOTION IS DUE PASS
AS AMENDED THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
WEEKS WEEKS I PERSON KOREA.
ZILBER. CHOLERA QUIRK-SILVA
SANCHEZ. WORD WORD I THAT IS ON
CALL. THANK YOU. AND WE WILL GO
TO YOUR NEXT BILL. MAYBE 86.
THANK YOU FIRST CHAIR MEMBERS. I
WOULD LIKE TO START BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENTS
REPRESENT A B 86, WHICH WHICH,
WHICH WILL STRENGTHEN
CALIFORNIA'S RESPONSE TO
HOMELESSNESS BY ESTABLISHING A
STATEWIDE HOMELESS. THIS
COORDINATOR AS THE LEAD ENTITY
FOR ENDING HOMELESSNESS IN
CALIFORNIA. TODAY OVER 170,000
INDIVIDUALS, PARENTS
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA. I
ROUGHLY 6% INCREASE SINCE 2012.
I MEAN 6 2020. THE STATE HAS
INVESTED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO
ASSIST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND
SUPPORT HOUSING PROGRAMS THAT
SHELTER AND HOUSED INDIVIDUALS.
YET WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE
NATION'S LARGEST HOMELESS
POPULATION. IN PART TO THE
STATES DISJOINTED APPROACH TO
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS IN 2017
, THE CALIFORNIA INTERAGENCY
COUNCIL ON HOMELESSNESS FORMERLY
KNOWN AS THE HOMELESSNESS,
COORDINATING AND FINANCING
COUNCIL, WAS ESTABLISHED TO
COORDINATE FUNDING AND BUILD
PARTNERSHIPS WITH STAKEHOLDERS
TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO END
HOMELESSNESS. THE COUNCIL IS ONE
OF MANY AGENCIES THAT RECEIVE
INFORMATION ON HOMELESSNESS IN
THE STATE, HOWEVER, WITH NO REAL
ONE PERSON IN CHARGE TO ENSURE
TRUE ACCOUNTABILITY, WE CONTINUE
TO BE DISCONNECTED, GIVEN THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE CRISIS IN
CALIFORNIA IN THE AMOUNT OF
FUNDING INVESTED. WE TRULY NEED
THE SYSTEM IN PLACE TO TACKLE
HOMELESSNESS THAT BOTH THE STATE
AND LOCAL LEVELS TO BE
CONSISTENT AND EFFECTIVE. THAT
IS WHY I'VE INTRODUCED A B 86 6
BILL WILL ENSURE
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
TO END HOMELESSNESS BY REQUIRING
THE GOVERNOR TO APPOINT A
STATEWIDE HOMELESS. THIS
COORDINATOR COORDINATOR WILL
OVERSEE HOMELESS. THIS PROGRAM'S
DATA SERVICES AND POLICIES
BETWEEN FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
AGENCIES, AS WELL AS COORDINATE
THE TIMING OF THE RELEASE OF
STATE FUNDS AND FUNDING
APPLICATIONS FOR HOUSING AND
HOUSING BASED SERVICES. A B 86
ALLOWS THE COORDINATED
FLEXIBILITY TO IDENTIFY LOCAL
LEADER AND THE APPROPRIATE
JURISDICTION TO SERVE AS A LAY
IT ONTO THE STATE. LASTLY,
COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL LEADERS
. THE COORDINATOR WILL PROVIDE
ANNUAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT PUTTING A
PERSON IN CHARGED THAT PEOPLE
CAN LOOK FORWARD GUIDANCE NOT
ABOUT CREATING A NEW BUREAUCRACY
MEMBERS. HOMELESSNESS IS AN
ISSUE THAT IMPACTS EVERY CORNER
OF THE STATE. WE MUST ENSURE
COORDINATED APPROACH TO
ADDRESSING THIS CRISIS AND MAYBE
86 WILL HELP US GET US THERE.
THANK YOU AND RESPECTFULLY ASKED
FOR AN I VOTE. THANK YOU. DO YOU
HAVE ANY PRIMARY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT? NO, I'M THE PRIMARY
WITNESS. GREAT. ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES AND WISH TO EXPRESS
SUPPORT. MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS
RANDOM AREN'T ON BEHALF OF THE
AIDS HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION AND
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. THANK YOU.
ALYSSA, STILL HIGH ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, ALSO
IN SUPPORT. ANY WITNESSES,
PRIMARY WITNESSES AND OPPOSITION
ANY ADDITIONAL WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION. OKAY WE WILL BRING
IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. MR
WARD APPRECIATE, UH, CERTAINLY,
AS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO OVER THE
YEARS REALLY FINE TUNE
RESPONSIBILITIES AND STREAMLINED
DECISION MAKING A COORDINATED
DECISION MAKING AROUND
HOMELESSNESS HAS BEEN WHERE WE
ABSOLUTELY WANTED TO GET TO GO
AND THE ADVANCEMENT THAT WE HAD
LAST CYCLE, AS YOU MENTIONED TO
BE ABLE TO CREATE THE
INTERAGENCY COUNCIL AND
HOMELESSNESS IS ANOTHER GREAT
STEP FORWARD AS WELL. AND I'M
JUST KIND OF CURIOUS IF YOU'VE
THOUGHT THROUGH. THIS IS, UM,
ULTIMATELY THE GOVERNOR HE ASKED
WHO WAS REALLY RESPONSIBLE. WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
GOVERNOR IS SUCCESSFUL IN
REDUCING HOMELESSNESS IN THE
STATE. THROUGH THAT WE HAVE B. C
S. H AND WE'VE GOT THE HEALTH
AND HUMAN SERVICES THAT COACH
HERE THIS BUT LARGELY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS ARE
EMPOWERED THROUGH B. C S. H AND
THERE'S A DEPUTY SECRETARY OF
HOMELESSNESS. HOW WOULD A
STATEWIDE COORDINATOR THAN UM UM
BE. HOW WOULD HOW WOULD THE
DELINEATION BETWEEN THOSE THOSE
ROLES EXIST AND. IT REALLY WILL
HAVE THE AND WE WERE DELIBERATE
USING THE WORD COORDINATOR. UM
PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WE DO WE
HAVE ALL THESE ENTITIES AND I
WILL ALWAYS SAY WE HAVE ENOUGH
RESOURCES. WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
WE HAVE ENOUGH PROGRAMS, BUT NO
ONE'S REALLY COME ABOUT HOW YOU
MESSED THEM ALL TOGETHER AND I
IN IN A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU
DEAL WITH CORPORATIONS WITH
GOVERNMENT, YOU GOTTA HAVE ONE
PERSON IN CHARGE. THE GOVERNMENT
YOU GOT TO HAVE AND MAYOR IN
CHARGE. YOU GOT TO HAVE ONE
PERSON THAT IS ULTIMATELY
RESPONSIBLE, BUT MOST IMPORTANT
, SOMEONE THAT IS ACCOUNTABLE
AND I DON'T THINK I NEED TO SEND
THE ENTITIES WILL ULTIMATELY BE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR DOING THAT. AND
SO, AS I TALKED TO THE GOVERNOR,
ACCOUNTABILITY WAS A REALLY
REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN THAT, AND THIS 11 HELPED HIM
BE ABLE TO PULL ALL THIS
TOGETHER, AND ULTIMATELY, WE CAN
GO BACK TO THAT ONE PERSON THAT
ONE ENTITY TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE
CAN BRING THAT ALL TOGETHER.
FANTASTIC I JUST WOULDN'T WANT
TO SEE SOMETHING THAT WAS
DUPLICATIVE AND WHERE WE'RE
HAVING NOW, SOMEBODY ELSE THAT
WE'RE STEPPING ON THE
JURISDICTION OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S
TOES. WE WANT THAT THAT
COORDINATION WE WANT THAT
ACCOUNTABILITY IS YOU'RE
REFERENCING. PROBABLY BETTER
QUESTION FOR THE GOVERNOR THAN
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOUR
OFFICE AND MAKE SURE THIS IS
HELPFUL AND COLLABORATIVE AS
OPPOSED TO THE OPPOSITE, BUT I'M
HAPPY TO MOVE THIS BILL FORWARD
TOWARDS CLOSER TO HIM SO HE CAN
WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE THAT
DECISION AND AGAIN. I WAS VERY
DELIBERATE. WE WENT THROUGH, UH,
A LOT OF DIFFERENT TERMS LIKE
SAAR, DIRECTOR MANAGER, UM.
COORDINATOR JUST SEEMED TO BE
THE BEST FIT FOR WHAT? WHAT?
ULTIMATELY IN LOOKING FOR GREAT.
WE HAVE A MOTION. AND WE HAVE A
SECOND THANKS A SECOND BY MR
CHOLERA. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
OR WERE THERE ANY OTHER
COMMENTS, MR. BUT NO. OH SORRY.
I MISSED MOST OF DISCUSSION.
OKAY GREAT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE MR JOHN SAWYER? RESPECT
FOR THE ASPERGER. I VOTE. WELL
THANK YOU. HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR
TAKING THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
. I KNOW THIS IS A FLEXING ISSUE
THAT WE ARE ALL TRYING TO, UM
DEAL WITH. I WISH THAT IT'S Dð
PASSES AMENDED TO THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
WEEKS WEEKS. I HARRISON BODY.
KOREA. ZIPPER. CHOLERA CHOLERA.
I QUIRK-SILVA SANCHEZ? YES.
SANCHEZ? YES, WARD. AYE. FOR
THAT BILL IS ON CALL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. AND WE
YEAH. YES HE DID. TWO BILLS.
YES, THAT GUY. AH, WITH THAT WE
HAVE MISS PELLERIN. I BELIEVE
YOU ARE PRESENTING. 13 34 13 34
. SO THANK YOU. CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. I'LL START BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. MOBILE
HOME PARKS PROVIDE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF HOUSING UNITS IN
CALIFORNIA, OFTEN AT MORE
AFFORDABLE PRICES THAN OTHER
OPTIONS BECAUSE MANUFACTURED
HOMES ARE LESS EXPENSIVE AND
FASTER TO CONSTRUCT THAN
TRADITIONAL SITE BUILT HOUSES.
THEY CAN BE A KEY COMPONENT OF
ADDRESSING OUR HOUSING CRISIS.
HOWEVER IN SOME AREAS, LOCAL
PERMITTING PROCESSES AND
EXCESSIVE EXCESSIVE FEES CHARGED
FOR ADDING SPACES AND EXISTING
MOBILE HOME PARKS, WHICH CAN
REACH THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS PER SPACE BEING ADDED
MAKE THE ADDITION OF MOBILE HOME
MOBILE HOMES COST PROHIBITIVE. A
B 13 34 ALLOWS CALIFORNIA'S
EXISTING MOBILE HOME PARKS TO
APPLY TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES TO INCREASE THEIR
SPACES BY UP TO 10% FOR SINGLE
FAMILY AND DUPLEX, MULTI FAMILY
MANUFACTURED HOMES. THIS BILL
ALSO INCENTIVIZES AN INCREASE IN
MOBILE HOME SPACES BY EXEMPTING
ADDED SPACES FROM ADDITIONAL
BUSINESS TAXES AND LOCAL FEES.
SAFEGUARDS IN THE BILL ENSURE
THAT ADDITIONAL SPACES DO NOT
SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACT THE
PROVISION OF WATER, SEWAGE,
ELECTRICAL, GAS AND OTHER
UTILITY SERVICES WITHIN THE
PARK. ADDITIONALLY THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS TODAY WILL ENSURE
THAT POORLY MAINTAINED MOBILE
HOME PARKS BUT NOTED HEALTH AND
SAFETY VIOLATIONS CANNOT EXPAND
THEIR PARKS UNDER THIS BILL
BEFORE ADDRESSING THOSE
VIOLATIONS. BY ENABLING THESE
MODEST EXTENSIONS ABBEY 13 34
WILL PROVIDE HOUSING THAT IS
MORE AFFORDABLE TO MANY MORE
CALIFORNIANS WITH ME TO TESTIFY
AND SUPPORT TODAY IS JEFF NEAL,
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURED HOUSING INSTITUTE.
THANK YOU. JEFF NEAL,
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURED HOUSING INSTITUTE.
I THINK THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
THOUGHTFUL ENGAGEMENT ON THIS
BILL. UH OBVIOUSLY CALIFORNIA'S
IN A HOUSING CRISIS AND
MANUFACTURED HOUSING IS AN
IMPORTANT PIECE OF CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING PICTURE. THIS BILL, UH,
WILL HELP REMOVE THE
DISINCENTIVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL
HOUSING SPACES IN EXISTING PARKS
. AS UM ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PELLERIN SAID THAT FEES IN SOME
AREAS CAN REACH TENS OF
THOUSANDS 40 OR $50,000 PER
SPACE THAN AN EXISTING PARK
WANTS TO ADD. UM, SO THIS BILL
IS SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE RECENT
AID EU STREAMLINING THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IS UNDERTAKEN ON
EXISTING RESIDENTIAL ALREADY
DEVELOPED PARCELS, JUST ADDING A
MODEST NUMBER OF NEW UNITS, AND
WE THINK THIS BILL IS PART OF AN
ALL OF THE ABOVE APPROACH TO
CALIFORNIA'S HOUSE. IN CRISIS.
QUESTION I VOTE. GREAT. ANY
OTHER FOLKS WANT TO EXPRESS
SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING, MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS. CHRIS Y SOCCER
WOULD BE A MAN. I'M PROUD TO SAY
THAT THIS IS THE SECOND BILL.
WE'RE SUPPORTING THIS GREAT. SO
WE WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR. UM
WE THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD START
TO CREATING MORE HOPE MOBILE
HOME SPACES IN CALIFORNIA. WE
ASKED FOR A LIFEBOAT. GREAT.
THANK YOU. AN ADDITIONAL
SUPPORT. MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE JORDAN BRENNA
CARVAJAL ON BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA. UM, BE IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU. AND ANY ADDITIONAL
PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION. ANY ADDITIONAL FOLKS
IN THE ROOM. NO. OKAY, WE'LL
BRING IT BACK HERE TO THE
COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS? WE
HAVE A MOTION BY MR WARD A
SECOND BY MR CHOLERA. ANY
QUESTIONS? COMMENTS WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. I
APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD SOMEONE WHO GREW UP
IN A MOBILE HOME PARK. I
UNDERSTAND THE, UM THE TOOL THAT
CAN PROVIDE FOR COMBATING ARE
VERY EXPENSIVE HOUSING COSTS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. SO WITH THAT
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL.
IT IS DUE PAST AS AMENDED THE
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS. WEEKS WEEKS. I
PATERSON I. KOREA KOREA, I
ZIPPER. CHOLERA. CHOLERA I
QUIRK-SILVA SANCHEZ SANCHEZ. I
WARD POOR GUY. THAT IS THAT BILL
IS OUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GREAT. AND MS CARILLO. THANK
YOU. YOU ARE PRESENTING A B 16
OH, SEVEN.
OH, MY GOODNESS. EMOTION IN A
SECOND. MY WITNESS. HERE IS MY
WITNESS HERE. NO. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I'D
LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND THANK
YOU TO YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
THEIR HARD WORK ON THE ANALYSIS
. I AM PROUD TO PRESENT A B 16
OH, SEVEN, WHICH IS A FOLLOW UP
LEGISLATION TO SB 679, WHICH I
WAS A PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR ON
FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH
ESTABLISHED THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SOLUTIONS AGENCY. OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS LA CASA HOUSING FOR LOW
INCOME PEOPLE ACROSS LOS ANGELES
COUNTY IS SEVERELY OVERCROWDED,
RACIALLY SEGREGATED AND OFTEN
NOT LINKED TO HIGH QUALITY
RESOURCES LIKE TRANSIT, JOBS,
SCHOOLS AND PARKS. AS A RESULT,
79% OF EXTREMELY LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS IN L. A COUNTY ARE
PAYING MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR
INCOME ON HOUSING COSTS COMPARED

SIX. THAT'S THAT HAS SIX VOTES
IT IS OUT. AND YOUR NEXT BILL HB
4 68? YES THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR
AND COLLEAGUES TODAY I PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 4 68, WHICH
EXTENDS EXISTING EXPECT
INSPECTIONS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT
TWO BUILDINGS USED FOR HUMAN
HABITATION, REGARDLESS OF ZONING
AND IMPROVES TENANT PROTECTIONS
WHEN BUILDINGS ARE DEEMED
UNSAFE. CALIFORNIA STATE. HELL'S
IN LAWS ARE SOME OF THE MOST
COMPREHENSIVE IN THE NATION
ESTABLISHING HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROTECTIONS THROUGH BUILDING
STANDARDS. TEUSCHER DECENT, SAFE
AND SANITARY HOUSING. FOR ALL,
HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE
UNABLE TO FIND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ARE TAKING UP SHELTER
AND BUILDINGS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
ZONED RESIDENTIAL. THIS HAS
ENHANCED A PROBLEM WHERE BOTH
WAREHOUSES AND FACTORY SPACES
ARE BEING CONVERTED TO
RESIDENTIAL USE WITHOUT THE
KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL OFFICIALS AND
WEALTHY OUT BEING HABITAT, HAVE
IT ALL. AS WE KNOW IN DECEMBER
2016 A DEADLY FIRE AT A TWO
STORY WHERE HOUSE IN OAKLAND NO
ONE HAS THE GHOST SHIP KILLED 36
PEOPLE, THE HIGHEST DEATH TOLL
FOR A STRUCTURAL FIRE IN THE
UNITED STATES AND OVER A DECADE
THE GHOST SHIP WAS A WAREHOUSE
THAT WAS ILLEGALLY BEING LEASED
TO ARTISTS WHO LIVED AND WORKED
IN THE BUILDING AND PERIODICALLY
USING IT FOR EVENTS.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS TRAGEDY IS
NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE
RECENT SHOOTINGS IN HALF MOON
BAY THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF SEVEN
FARMWORKERS LIVING IN SHIPPING
CONTAINERS CAST MORE LIGHT ON
THE GRIM REALITIES. ADVANCE SAFE
HOUSING CONDITIONS THAT
HARDWORKING CALIFORNIA'S ARE
LIVING WITH UNHEALTHY AND UNSAFE
HOUSING HAS SERVED AS AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE
AND FOR FAR TOO LONG WE NEED TO
BETTER EMPOWER LOCAL AND STATE
AGENCIES TO DEAL WITH CAPITATED
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
BEING USED AT HOUSING WITH ME
TODAY TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY. WE
HAVE MR BRADLEY GIRTON, PUBLIC
AFFAIRS MANAGER OF THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING, OFFICIALS
AND FAITH, GORGEOUS ON BEHALF OF
THE BILL SPONSOR, THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF CODE ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS. GOOD MORNING, FAITH
FORGES ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF CODE
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PROUD
SPONSORS OF A B 4 68 VERY
BRIEFLY. CODE ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS ARE THE MEN AND THE
WOMEN ON FRONT LINES ENFORCING
HOUSING SAFETY LAWS IN
CALIFORNIA, ENSURING THAT THERE
IS DIGNITY FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS
. CENSUS DATA HAS SHOWN THAT
APPROXIMATELY TWO MILLION
CALIFORNIANS ARE LIVING IN
SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS IN COVID
HAS ONLY EXACERBATED THOSE
CONDITIONS UNDER EXISTING LAW
BUILDING IS DEEP AND SUBSTANDARD
WHEN AN ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
DETERMINES THAT SPECIFIED
CONDITIONS. EXIST THAT ENDANGER
LIFE, LIMB HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
THE PUBLIC OR OCCUPANTS. THIS
BILL IS CLARIFYING AN AMBIGUITY
AND EXISTING LAW BY CLEARLY
STATING THAT A SUBSTANDARD
BUILDING FOR PURPOSES OF STATE
HOUSING LAW APPLIES TO ANY
BUILDING REGARDLESS OF ZONING,
PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT ARE
BEING USED FOR HOUSING. THIS
BILL ALSO DEFINES RESIDENTIAL
RENTAL UNIT FOR THOSE PURPOSES
OF RELOCATION ASSISTANCE TO
INCLUDE ANY UNIT RENTED FOR
HUMAN HABITATION. THAT'S A
SUBSTANDARD BUILDING DESPITE
BEING RENTED AS HOUSING
FACTORIES, COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND
WAREHOUSES, SUCH AS THE GHOST
SHIP THAT ARE NOT RESIDENTIAL
LEASE OWNED AND THEREFORE HAVE
EVADED MUCH NEEDED SAFETY
INSPECTIONS AND CODE
ENFORCEMENT. FOLLOWING THE
HORRIFIC SHOOTINGS THAT TOOK
PLACE IN HALF MOON BAY. THE SAN
FRANCISCO CHRONICLE REPORTED
THAT SUBSTANDARD HOUSING
CONDITIONS THAT 27 FARM WORKERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE LIVING
IN IN THOSE CONVERTED TRAILERS
WITH NO RECORDS OF HOUSING
PERMITS OR INSPECTIONS. THOSE
CONDITIONS WERE A CONTRIBUTING
FACTOR TO THE MENTAL HEALTH
CHALLENGES THAT THE SHOOTER UM
USED AND HE TOOK THE LIVES. OF
THOSE SEVEN FARMWORKERS WERE
HUSBANDS AND WIVES, FATHERS,
DAUGHTERS, BROTHERS, WE CAN
THINK OF NO BETTER CLOTHES THAN
ASKING FOR YOU TO SUPPORT THIS
BILL TODAY IN THEIR MEMORY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD
MORNING, TERRY MEMBERS BRADY
GARDEN ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING OFFICIALS.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TODAY TO DISCUSS HOW A B 4
68 CAN FURTHER PROMOTE PUBLIC
SAFETY AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
. CARBO MEMBERS ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ENFORCING BUILDING CODE OR
CARMEN'S. IN AN ESTIMATED 95% OF
CALIFORNIA'S BUILDINGS. OUR
MISSION IS TO PROMOTE PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY. IN BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION THROUGH RESPONSIBLE
LEGISLATION, EDUCATION AND
BUILDING CODE DEVELOPMENT. 84 68
WILL PROVIDE FURTHER
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO BETTER
ENFORCE BUILDING CODE
REQUIREMENTS AND PROTECT NOT
ONLY THE OCCUPANTS OF THE
BUILDING, BUT ALSO NEARBY
RESIDENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC, REGARDLESS OF THE VOTING
ORDINANCE OR APPROVED USE OF THE
BUILDING. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
MEASURE TO FURTHER PROMOTE
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY TO
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS UNDER
EXISTING LAW BUILDINGS THAT HAVE
NOT BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED FOR
THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE OR
BUILDINGS THAT LACK THE
NECESSARY FIRE LIFE SAFETY
REGULATIONS CAN BE DEEMED
SUBSTANDARD AND FURTHER REQUIRED
NECESSARY UPGRADES BY OWNERS TO
FURTHER PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH
AND SAFETY. THESE REGULATIONS
ARE NECESSARY TO REDUCE DEATH OR
INJURY FROM FIRE WHEN THESE
REGULATIONS ARE NOT COMPLIED
WITH EVENTS LIKE NEGOTIATE
WAREHOUSE FIRE CAN CAUSED ON
UNDUE HARM OR DEATH AS A RESULT
OF THE LACK OF COMPLIANCE WITH
SAFETY REGULATIONS. THIS BILL
WOULD FURTHER PROVIDE CODE
ENFORCEMENT BUILDING OFFICIALS
AND OTHER SAFETY OFFICIALS SUCH
AS FIRE PREVENTION OFFICERS, THE
ABILITY TO RESPOND AND ENFORCE
THE NECESSARY FIRE SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS IN BUILDINGS THAT
ARE BEING USED. FOR HABITABLE
SPACE SO CALIFORNIA CAN AVOID
AVOID INCIDENTS LIKE WHAT
OCCURRED IN THE CITY OF OAKLAND
IN 2016, KABUL, RESPECTFULLY
ASKED FOR AN I VOTE ON A B 4 68
AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TODAY
TO SPEAK TO YOU. THANK YOU TO
HAVE ADDITIONAL, UM FOLKS WANT

MADAM CHAIR RON KINGSTON. I
REPRESENT THE S KOREANS TO
CALIFORNIA AND SEVERAL APARTMENT

EVEN BEFORE THE BILL WAS
BASICALLY INTRODUCED, AND THANK

MISS QUIRK-SILVA JUST RESPECT

OUT. THANK YOU. MHM. MR COX, MR
. QUIRK-SILVA YOUR LAST BILL,
MAYBE. 13 OH, EIGHT. THANK YOU
MEMBERS AND MADAM CHAIR ASSEMBLY
BILL 13 08 PROHIBITS A PUBLIC
AGENCY FROM IMPOSING A NEW
MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS ON
A PROJECT TO REMODEL, RENOVATE
OR ADD TO SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTS AS LONG AS THE PROJECT
DOES NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM SIZE
LIMITS, SUCH AS HEIGHT AND FLOOR
TO AREA RATIO. CURRENT
REGULATIONS IN THE MAJORITY OF
CITIES AND COUNTIES REQUIRE ANY
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENT OWNER TO
ADD TWO COVERED PARKING SPACES
FOR ANY REMODEL, UPDATE OR ADD
ON THIS RULE CREATES AN INEQUITY
FOR HOMEOWNERS SEEKING TO BUILD
ADDITIONS AND OFTEN DO NOT
GENERATE ANY ADDITIONAL PARKING
DEMAND UNDER CURRENT LAW IN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT. UNDER CURRENT
LAW, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CANNOT
IMPOSE ANY PARKING REQUIREMENT.
FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
HOWEVER PARKING STRUCTURES ON
SOME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS CAN
ALSO COST UPWARD TO 25,000 TAKE
UP VITAL LAND SPACE ON THE
PROPERTY. AND YET FAMILIES MAY
NOT OWN ANY ADDITIONAL CARS.
MAYBE 13 08 DOES NOT PROHIBIT
PROPERTY OWNERS FROM BUILDING
PARK PARKING. IT WOULD SIMPLY
GIVE THEM THE FLEXIBILITY TO
DECIDE HOW MUCH PARKING TO
BUILD. BASED ON THEIR NEEDS AND
AFFORDABILITY, INSTEAD OF
REQUIRING THEM TO COMPLY WITH
THE ONE SIZE FITS ALL MANDATE
HERE WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY
AND SUPPORT HIS MR JORDAN'S
PANAMA CARVELL. BANANA CUT OF
OUR HOUSE BRA. KIND OF LIKE ONE
OF MY PANAMA. CARBAJAL
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE FOR
CALIFORNIA. UM, BIÂU. THANK YOU
REMEMBER GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY
NAME IS JORDAN BANANA KIND OF A
HIGHER LEADERSHIP. AFRICA
RECOVERING YOU ME HERE TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF A B 13, A
CALIFORNIAN VISITS STAY WHERE
ORGANIZATION OF OVER 80,000
NEIGHBORS DEDICATED TO MAKING
CALIFORNIA MAKING OUR STATE
THEREFORE WILL PLACE TO LIVE
WORK AND RAISE A FAMILY FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. CALIFORNIA IS IN
THE MIDST OF A HOUSING CRISIS.
AND WHILE THERE IS NO SINGULAR
REASONS FOR THIS, THE
UNDERSUPPLY OF HOUSING DUE IN
LARGE PART TO EXCESSIVE BARRIERS
TO PRODUCTION IS ONE MAJOR READ
MAJOR FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE
HIGH COST OF HOUSING BARRIERS
SUCH AS BURDENSOME PARKING
REQUIREMENTS. LOCAL ORDINANCE IN
MANY CITIES AND COUNTIES ACROSS
THE STATE REQUIRES SINGLE FAMILY
HOME OWNER TO ADD TWO COVERED
PARKING SPACES FOR ANY REMODEL,
UPDATE OR ADDITION. THIS REAL
CREATES AN EQUITY FOR HOMEOWNERS
SEEKING TO BUILD ADDITIONS THAT
USUALLY DO NOT GENERATE
ADDITIONAL PARKING DEMAND. TO
ROLL BACK THESE EXCESSIVE
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR
HOMEOWNERS. MAYBE 13 OH, EIGHT,
WILL PROHIBIT A PUBLIC AGENCY
FROM IMPOSING A NEW MINIMUM
PARKING REQUIREMENT ON THE
PROJECT TO REMODEL. TO REMODEL
UPDATE AND RENOVATE. THESE
EXCEPTIONS ARE NOT NEW. IN FACT,
CURRENT LAW EXEMPTS SUCCESSFULLY
DURING THE DWELLING UNITS 80
YEARS FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO
BUILD COVERING PARKING
ALTOGETHER. IF THE EU IS PART OF
THE PROPOSED OR EXISTING PRIMARY
RESIDENCE, RESIDENCY OR ANY
ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. PARKING
REGULATIONS FOR REMODELS,
RENOVATIONS OR ADULTS SHOULD BE
CONSISTENT WITH THOSE MANDATED
BY STATE LAW FOR 80 YEARS,
ELIMINATING SIGNIFICANT CAUSE
BARRIERS FOR HOMEOWNERS LOOKING
TO MON, ARISE AND IMPROVE THEIR
PROPERTY IS A SOCIAL METHOD TO
TACKLE THE MAGNITUDE OF
CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING CRISIS.
IT'S FOR THESE REASONS. WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT FOR A V 13 OR EIGHT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER
FOLKS I WISH TO EXPRESS SUPPORT.
HOLY CRIMINY DEJESUS THAT
LIGHTHOUSE PUBLIC AFFAIRS ON
BEHALF OF SPUR AND HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY. CALIFORNIAN SUPPORT.
GREAT. THANK YOU ANY PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION? AN
ADDITIONAL FOCUS IN OPPOSITION.
LET'S BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS? DO YOU
HAVE A MOTION? A MOTION BY
MINISTER AWARDED SECOND BY MR
ZIPPER. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
MISS QUIRK-SILVA? YES I JUST
WANTED US TO THINK OF THIS IN
THE SENSE OF, UH, AGING FAMILIES
. I MEAN, WE TALK A LOT ABOUT A
D. U S. AND THAT'S A WHOLE
ANOTHER STRUCTURE. BUT THIS IS
PERHAPS YOU HAVE A MOTHER IN LAW
OR A MOTHER WHO NEEDS TO LIVE
INSIDE YOUR HOME WITH AN EXTRA
ROOM. IN FACT, WITH THE CURRENT
LAW THAT WOULD REQUIRE THESE TWO
IN ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES.
THIS WOULD SAY THAT THOSE WERE
NOT NECESSARILY BE NEEDED. IF
THE OAN I CHOSE TO BRING THEM
FORWARD AND THEN PROVIDE THOSE
THAT'S ONE THING BUT REQUIRE IS
ANOTHER. SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN I VOTE. THANK YOU AND
APPRECIATE YOUR WORK IN THE
SPACE HAPPEN TO SUPPORT THE BILL
TODAY WITH THAT. THE MOTION IS
DUE PASS TO THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
WAIT WEEKS I PERSON CARILLO. FOR
YOUR EYES A BIRTH ER I CHOLERA,

SANCHEZ. NO AWARD DIÆN. 6 TO 1.
THAT BILL IS OUT. SURE THE MONEY
. LET'S JUST DO THAT MORNING.
WE'RE GONNA DO ONE. QUICK. ADD
ON FOR ONE BILL. AND THEN WE'LL
GO TO MR ZAMORA AFTER THAT. AND
THERE IS ITEM NUMBER 6 85 89
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HARRISON, UH,
SUB MEMBER CORIO. MERCURY I
SEVEN MEMBERS OF HER ZIPPER. I
OKAY, THAT IS OUT 60. WE'LL DO

AYE, QUIRK-SILVA. QUIRK-SILVA
VICE ENTREZ SANCHEZ? AYE. THAT
BILL IS OUT 70. 86. YES OKAY.
GREAT, MR ZYBERK. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I'D LIKE TO
START BY THANKING THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS AND YOUR STAFF AND THE
STAKEHOLDERS FOR INCREDIBLE
ENGAGEMENT ON THIS BILL, AND I'M
HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE'S
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. UM TODAY
I'M PROUD TO PRESENT A B 16 20,
WHICH DESPITE BEING A VERY
NARROWLY CRAFTED BILL WILL MAKE
A REAL DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S
LIVES BY REDUCING HOUSING
INSECURITY FOR PEOPLE WITH
PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND
HELPING OLDER CALIFORNIANS AGE
IN PLACE WITH DIGNITY. I'M ALSO
PROUD THAT THIS BILL IS
SUPPORTED BY THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND
IS SPONSORED BY TWO CITIES IN MY
DISTRICT, THE CITY OF WEST
HOLLYWOOD AND THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA, ALL OF WHICH HAVE MADE
IMPORTANT STRIDES IN REDUCING
HOUSING INSECURITY AND SEEK NOW
TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP. I'M
GRATEFUL FOR THE ENGAGEMENT OF
STAKEHOLDERS THAT HAVE MADE THE
BILL BETTER, INCLUDING THE
EXPERT GUIDANCE WE RECEIVED FROM
THE TEAM AT DISABILITY RIGHTS,
CALIFORNIA AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO
SAY THANK THE CALIFORNIA
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION, WHICH
WERE BEING AGAIN ENGAGING WITH
EVEN BEFORE THE BILL WAS
SUBMITTED FOR WORKING WITH US,
WE INCORPORATED THEIR FEEDBACK
TO ENSURE THIS BILL IS FAIR AND
STRIKES THE RIGHT BALANCE. THIS
BILL IS STILL ABOUT KEEPING
PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES AND
LIFTING UP MARGINALIZED
CALIFORNIANS IN THE FACE OF LONG
STANDING SOCIAL AND SYSTEMIC
INEQUITIES. IT'S ABOUT DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ADDRESS OUR
STATE, STAGGERING HOMELESSNESS,
CRISIS AND BINDING SOLUTIONS
THAT ARE BOTH PRACTICAL AND
COMPASSIONATE. ROUGHLY 64% OF
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS ARE RENT
BURDENED, PUTTING THEM AT HIGH
RISK OF DISPLACEMENT DUE TO AN
INABILITY TO AFFORD BASIC NEEDS
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
DISPROPORTIONATELY EXPERIENCED
POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS AND
HOUSING DISCRIMINATION. THIS
INEQUITY IS COMPOUNDED FOR
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHO ARE
ALSO LGBTQ PLUS FROM COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR OR MEMBERS OF OTHER
MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS. OLDER
PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES AND RENT CONTROLLED
AREAS NEED AND DESERVE WAYS TO
REMOVE THE ROADBLOCKS
ENCOUNTERED TO BEING REHOUSED IN
AN ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE
RENTAL UNIT. A B 16 20 REMOVES
ONE ROADBLOCK BY SIMPLY
AUTHORIZING LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
TO ADOPT RENT CONTROL RULES THAT
PERMIT TENANTS WITH PHYSICAL
DISABILITIES TO RELOCATE TO A
COMPARABLE OR SMALLER,
ACCESSIBLE UNIT AND RETAIN THEIR
RENTAL RATE IF THE MOVE IS
NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR
DISABILITY, THIS BILL IS AN
IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS
EMPOWERING TENANTS WITH MOBILITY
CHALLENGES WERE AT HIGHER RISK
OF EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO
REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES. I WANT TO
REEMPHASIZE ONE IMPORTANT
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL, WHICH IS
THAT IT RETAINS LOCAL AUTHORITY
. THIS DOES NOT FORCE
COMMUNITIES TO DO ANYTHING. IT
MERELY AUTHORIZES THEM TO TAKE
THIS APPROACH AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL. IT ALSO INCREASES HOUSING
SECURITY AND GIVES TENANTS
FLEXIBILITY TO RELOCATE TO AN
AVAILABLE UNIT UNTIL THEY CAN
ACCESS AT A REASONABLE RENTAL
RATE AND ONE THAT THEY CAN
ACCESS THAT A RECENT RED AND
WHITE, WHICH WE KNOW THAT THEY
CAN AFFORD. LASTLY PROTECTS
LANDLORDS BY ASSURING THAT THEY
WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE A FAIR
RATE OF RETURN UPON THE MOVE. I
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME TODAY WITH ME.
I AM HAPPY THAT WE HAVE TO FOLKS
TO TESTIFY AND SUPPORT AND TO
ASSIST WITH TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
. FIRST WE HAVE JONATHAN HOLUP,
WHO IS REPRESENTING THE CITY OF
WEST HOLLYWOOD, THE SPONSOR OF
THE BILL. AND SYLVIA SALAS SHAH
ON BEHALF OF OUR CO SPONSOR OF
THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA.
JONATHAN. THANK YOU. GOOD
MORNING. HONORABLE MEMBERS. MY
NAME IS JONATHAN HOLLA BY THE
RENT STABILIZATION MANAGER WITH
THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD. A
SPONSOR OF HB 16 21 OF THE
REASONS FOR THE CITY OF WEST
HOLLYWOOD'S FOUNDING AND A CORE
VALUE IS TO SAFEGUARD QUALITY,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. FOR THOSE
WHO SEEK A COMMUNITY THAT'S SAFE
AND ACCEPTING THE CITY EXISTS
BECAUSE OF A COMMITMENT TO THE
PRINCIPLE THAT ALL PEOPLE
REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE IN A GYM.
THE CITY THEY LOVE AND WHERE
THEY KNOW THEY'RE VALUED TO
FURTHER THAT VISION. THE
COMMUNITY AND CITY COUNCIL HAVE
WORKED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS TO
ENSURE THAT AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE CALL WEST HOLLYWOOD
HOME CAN AGE IN PLACE IF THAT IS
WHAT THEY WANT, AND SO MANY DO.
THAT LEGITIMATE COMMUNITY VISION
IS THREATENED, HOWEVER, BY AN
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF
VACANCY DECONTROL. HIS TENANTS
WITH STRONG ATTACHMENT TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES, AGE AND MOBILITY
BECOMES AN ISSUE FOR THEM. THE
APARTMENTS AND UPPER FLOORS THAT
WERE ONCE A PERFECTLY FIND
HOUSING OPTIONS ARE NO LONGER
ACCESSIBLE. VIEW MULTI FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTIES IN
WEST HOLLYWOOD OR HIGH RISES, SO
ELEVATORS ARE THE EXCEPTION, NOT
THE RULE. MOBILITY CHALLENGE.
RENT STABLE ATTENDANT WANTS TO
MOVE TO A LOWER FLOOR IN THEIR
COMPLEX OR ANOTHER UNIT IN THE
CITY. THEY MUST ACCEPT A NEW
MARKET RATE. A B 16 26 A REMEDY
. THIS MODEST COMMON SENSE
PROPOSAL RECOGNIZES THE
FRAMEWORK OF EXISTING LAW BY
CONTINUING THE REQUIREMENT THAT
TENANTS WITH A PHYSICAL
DISABILITY ENGAGED WITH THEIR
LANDLORD IN THE INTERACTIVE
PROCESS AT FOURTH IN THE
CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS.
ONCE THE PROCESS ESTABLISHES
THAT THE TENANT IS ENTITLED TO A
LOWER OR OTHER APPROPRIATE UNIT
, LOCAL JURISDICTIONS MAY
REQUIRE THAT THE TENANTS RENT
AND LEASE TERMS REMAIN THE SAME
AS THE VACATED UNIT. BECAUSE THE
BILL ONLY PERMITS A MOVE TO A
SIMILAR OR SMALLER UNIT IS
LIMITED TO PROPERTIES WITH FOUR
MORE UNITS MAKES NO UNREASONABLE
DEMANDS ON LANDLORDS AND
PROVIDES A CONTINUED JUSTIN
REASONABLE RETURN. IT OFFERS A
BALANCED APPROACH TO GREATER
CERTAINTY FOR POPULATION THAT IS
VULNERABLE TO HOUSING
INSECURITY. THE CITY IS GRATEFUL
TO ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JUROR FOR
INTRODUCING A B 16 20. THANKS
YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND
REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT ON THE
SUPPORTED BILL THAT WILL HELP SO
MANY PEOPLE REMAIN IN THE
COMMUNITIES THEY CALL HOME.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS SYLVIA SALAS
SHAH HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
OF WEST HOLLYWOOD AND THE CITY
OF SANTA MONICA, FIRST ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD. I
WOULD LIKE TO READ A STATEMENT.
IF IT'S OK WITH THE COMMITTEE ON
BEHALF OF MS YOLA DOOR, WHO IS A
RESIDENT OF WEST HOLLYWOOD, AND
SHE WANTED TO TESTIFY IN PERSON.
SIN TODAY, BUT WAS UNABLE TO
TRAVEL TO THE CAPITAL. AND I DO
HAVE A PHOTO OF OUR LOCAL
RESIDENTS. AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE
LIVES IN A BUILDING WITH LOTS OF
STAIRS, AND SHE HAS, SHE DOES
HAVE SOME MOBILITY ISSUES. GOOD
MORNING, HONORABLE CHAIR, VICE
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS YOLA. DORI
AND I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF
THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD SINCE
1991. EVERY CITED IN THE SAME
UNIT IN THE EAST SIDE OF WEST
HOLLYWOOD SINCE THAT TIME
CLIMBING 18 STAIRS SEVERAL TIMES
A DAY. WHEN YOU HAVE
DISABILITIES LIKE I DO BECOMES
VERY CHALLENGING. IT AFFECTS MY
ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE FULLY AND
GRACEFULLY AGE IN PLACE. THIS
BILL BEING PRESENTED TO YOU
TODAY BY MY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
HIGHLIGHTS HOW IMPORTANT
ACCESSIBILITY IS TWO PERSONS
WITH DISABILITIES LIKE MINE. AS
YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY, YOU
WILL BE GIVING ME THE BEST THE
BEST PRESCRIPTION THAT I HAVE
EVER KNOWN OPPORTUNITY. IN MY
CASE, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SERVE. THANK YOU ADVANCE FOR
YOUR SUPPORT ON BEHALF OF THE
CITY OF SANTA MONICA AND LIKE TO
EXPRESS THEIR STRONG SUPPORT FOR
THIS MEASURE, SANTA MONICA RENT
CONTROL WAS ADOPTED BY VOTERS IN
THE CITY IN 1979, AND SINCE
THEN, THE CITY HAS PRIORITIZED
CREATING NEW HOUSING
OPPORTUNITIES. PRESERVING
EXISTING AFFORDABLE HEALTH
HOUSING AND HELPING RESIDENTS
KEEP THEIR EXISTING HOMES IN THE
CITY A B 16 20 ALONGSIDE LOCAL
PROGRAMS SUCH AS OUR CITIES,
PRESERVING OUR DIVERSITY PROGRAM
, WHICH PROVIDES CASH ASSISTANCE
TO LOW INCOME LONG TERM SANTA
MONICA RESIDENT WILL HELP OUR
SENIOR AND DISABLED RESIDENTS TO
CONTINUE TO LIVE AND THRIVE IN
THE CITY, AND WE THINK THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FROTH ORING
THIS MEASURE. WE ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. THANK YOU. ADDITIONAL
FOLKS WISH TO EXPRESS SUPPORT IN
THE ROOM. GOOD MORNING, MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS GREGORY CRAMER
ON BEHALF OF DISABILITY RIGHTS,
CALIFORNIA WE WILL MOVE TO A
SUPPORT POSITION AS AMENDED AND
JUST APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE,
THE AUTHOR AND THE STAKEHOLDERS
FOR ENSURING THAT DISABLED
TENANTS ARE PROTECTED. THANK YOU
, THANK YOU. PRIMARY WITNESSES
AND OPPOSITION. GOOD MORNING,
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS KAREEM
GREASY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS HERE TODAY IN
OPPOSITION TO A B 16 20. UM MY
APOLOGIES. I'LL WAIT FOR MR
KINGSTON GET SITUATED, UH, HERE
TODAY AND RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION
TO 16 20, FOR THE REASON STATED
IN OUR LETTER, WHICH IS BASED ON
CONCERNS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM
MEMBERS OF THE AUTHOR'S DISTRICT
LAST THURSDAY. CURRENT LAW
INCLUDES REGULATIONS PROMULGATED
OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS BY THE
CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT THAT
INCLUDES AN INTERACTIVE PROCESS
THAT GOVERNS HOW HOUSING
PROVIDERS AND TENANTS ENGAGE
WITH RESPECT TO REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION REQUEST. UM AND
INCLUDED IN THOSE REGULATIONS IS
THE FACT THAT A HOUSING PROVIDER
CANNOT REFUSE A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION REQUEST UNLESS
THERE IS AN UNDUE FINANCIAL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN OR A
THREAT TO HEALTH AND PUBLIC
SAFETY. UM UNFORTUNATELY, UH,
MAYBE 16 20 INTRODUCES A AN
ALTERNATIVE PROCESS IN LIEU OF
THE INTERNET INTERACTIVE
PROCESSES CURRENTLY IN
REGULATIONS, UM, AND DOES NOT
FULLY ADDRESS THE UNDUE BURDENS
THAT ARE OFTEN PLACED ON SMALL
HOUSING PROVIDERS. SO FOR THOSE
REASONS, WE MUST RESPECTFULLY
REQUESTED NO VOTE HERE TODAY.
HOWEVER WE DO LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR, AND WE
APPRECIATE HIS LEADERSHIP
SINCERELY WITH RESPECT TO THE
INTENDED GOAL OF THE BILL AND
BUT ALSO RESPECTFULLY NOTE. JUST
FOR THE COMMITTEE. IN ADDITION
TO THE RELATED LEGISLATION
THAT'S LISTED IN THE ANALYSIS,
THERE ALSO WAS A B 13 99 BY
FORMER ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BLOOM,
WHICH DID SEEK TO MAKE CHANGES
TO THE COST TALK. IT'S RENTAL
HOUSING ACT, AND WE'RE ABLE TO
WORK IN A COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT
WITH ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BLOOM. AND
SO IN THAT SAME SPIRIT, WE DO
SINCERELY LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR AND THE
SPONSORS ON THIS BILL, BUT AT
THIS TIME MUST RESPECTFULLY
REQUESTED NOVA. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. THANK YOU MAY BEGIN. THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR OF MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE RUN KINGSTON
REPRESENT SEVERAL APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION. BUT WHEN I WANT TO
PROVIDE A PARTICULAR FOCUS THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING MANAGEMENT
ASSOCIATION CIVIC SOUTHWEST THAT
WE REPRESENT. PROVIDES HOUSING
EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE DISABLED.
FOR SENIORS AND LOW INCOME THEY
SERVE APPROXIMATELY 560,000
CALIFORNIANS. UM, IN THIS SPACE
, THEY, UM, WE THEY HAVE LOOKED
AT THIS MEASURE VERY, VERY
CAREFULLY, AND I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE PROPERLY FOCUSED
THIS BILL. THIS BILL APPLIES.
FOR THOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT
WANT TO AN ACT AND ORDINANCE. UM
AS AS THE AUTHOR IS PROPOSING.
UH TO PROVIDE ASK US TO GIVE A
NOTICE. TO THOSE ALREADY HOUSED
IN OUR RENTAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT
ARE IN SECOND OR HIGHER FLOORS.
HERE HERE ARE THE CONSIDERATIONS
WHICH WE BELIEVE THAT SHOULD OR
HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED IN THIS
BILL NUMBER ONE ON THE FIRST
FLOOR WHEN THAT UNIT BECOMES
AVAILABLE. IF A PERSON IS
ALREADY DISABLED, WHAT HAPPENS?
WE DON'T KNOW IN THIS BILL. WE
DON'T KNOW IF THE FIRST FLOOR
UNIT IT HAS A SUPERIOR LOCATION
. I GUESS IT'S THE REALTORS
USUALLY LIKE TO SAY LOCATION,
LOCATION LOCATION. EVERYTHING
HAS PRICE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
THIS BILL DOESN'T ADDRESS THAT
PERHAPS THE DISABLED IS ON THE
SECOND FLOOR OVERLOOKING A
PARKING LOT, AND THE SUPERIOR
UNIT IS OVERLOOKING A PASTORAL
APPEARANCE. WE USUALLY THEY'RE
DIFFERENT PRICING. USUALLY IN
ALMOST EVERY CASE. WHEN A UNIT
IS VACATED. UM THERE WILL BE
MASSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
REPLACEMENT OF CABINETRY AND
APPLIANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND IF YOU COULD WRAP UP THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THIS BILL
DOESN'T TAKE THAT INTO
CONSIDERATION. IT FORCES US TO
RENT AT THE AT THE RENTAL RATE
WITH THE DISABLED TENANT ALREADY
HAS. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. AND
FINALLY, AMONG OTHER THINGS. AND
I'LL GIVE YOU THE OUR SOLUTION.
UM, THERE ARE NO NOTICE. FORMAL
NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF HOW WE
GIVE IT WHEN WE GIVE IT WHEN THE
MOBILITY TENANT HAS CHALLENGED
THIS SOLUTION. WE BELIEVE A
SUPERIOR SOLUTION. UM WOULD BE A
NOTICE TO ALL TENANTS. IF YOUR
MOBILITY CHALLENGED, LET US KNOW
WILL WILL ACCOMMODATE YOU. ONE
IS CONSISTENT WITH STATE AND
FEDERAL LAW, AND, UH, WE WOULD
BE PLEASED TO DO THAT. THANK YOU
. SUPERIOR SOLUTION. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK
YOU. ADDITIONAL FOLKS WHICH WISH
WISH TO REPRESENT I WISH TO GOD
OPPOSITION. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS KATE BELLA
BEHALF, THE CALIFORNIA RENTAL
HOUSING ASSOCIATION AND THE
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION OF GREATER
L. A ALSO RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION.
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
YOU. THANK YOU. WE WILL NOT
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE,
MR CHOLERA. THANK YOU, MADAM
SHARE. I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. LOOK,
YOU KNOW, WE UM BUT FOR THE
GRACE OF GOD, ANY OF US CAN BE
IN A SITUATION WHERE OUR
PHYSICAL WHERE WE HAVE PHYSICAL
LIMITATIONS TOMORROW THAT WE
DON'T HAVE TODAY. AND UM, YOU
KNOW, LIVING IN A SITUATION THAT
MAKES HOUSING OR HOUSING
ACCOMMODATIONS VERY CHALLENGING
. NOT TO MENTION AS WAS
MENTIONED BY THE AUTHOR OR AGING
POPULATION, AND WE KNOW THAT
AGING IN PLACE IS REALLY THE
IDEAL SOLUTION, ESPECIALLY IF
YOU HAVE FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN
LIVING IN A PLACE AND A
BUILDING. AND THIS IS ABOUT FOUR
PLEX IS LARGER. I BELIEVE THEY
WERE LIVING IN THEIR SAME
NEIGHBORHOOD. THE BEST THING FOR
THAT INDIVIDUAL'S HEALTH IS TO
REMAIN IN THEIR SAME COMMUNITY.
IDEALLY AS THIS BUILD ELSEWHERE
IN THE IN THE SAME BUILDING A
POSSIBLE BUT WE ALL HAVE TO BEND
A LITTLE BIT. IF WE REALLY CARE
ABOUT NOT JUST OF THE MAKING
HOUSING STOCK AVAILABLE, BUT IF
WE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES AND ENSURING THAT
THEY CAN LIVE THEIR LIFE AS
COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE, AND
PARTICULARLY OUR ELDERLY OR
AGING CALIFORNIANS, WHICH WE
KNOW IS THE LARGEST GROWING
DEMOGRAPHIC IN OUR STATE. UM.
AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE
JUDGES ARE NOTICING AND ALL
THAT. I THINK THOSE ARE GREAT
THINGS TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE
CONVERSATION WITH THE AUTHOR
ABOUT. UM BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU
KNOW, AS THE BILL STATES THAT
YOU KNOW, THIS BILL DOES NOT
REQUIRE ANY RENOVATION. THERE
WAS PLANNED RENOVATIONS SO THE
BANK CAN BE INCREASED 2000 MONTH
OR WHATEVER IT DOESN'T REQUIRE
IT AS LONG AS THE PLACE IS
CLEAN, AND AS YOU KNOW, AND IT
IS A PLACE THAT'S AGAIN
COMPARABLE TO THE UNIT THAT
THEY'RE LEAVING. UM IT DOESN'T
REQUIRE ANY OTHER EXTRA EXPENSE
ON THE PART OF THE OWNER. AND
ULTIMATELY AGAIN, I GET THAT.
YOU KNOW THAT THAT THERE IS A
DESIRE WHENEVER THERE'S A
VACANCY TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE, BUT THERE'S A PUBLIC
POLICY THAT WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE
TO CONSIDER TO ENSURE AGAIN.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAYING THE
SAME RENT, SO IT'S NOT LIKE THE
OWNER IS OUT. THEY CAN RENOVATE
THE ONE THEY VACATED AND RENT
THAT FROM MORE AT THE END OF THE
DAY, THAT KIND OF SOMEWHAT
EQUALS OUT. BUT IF WE'RE GONNA
TIP THE SKILLS, LET'S TIP THE
SCALES IN THE FAVOR OF THOSE
THAT NEED IT MOST DESPERATELY,
AND THAT'S OUR CALIFORNIANS ARE
RESIDENTS THAT HAVE DISABILITIES
OR THOSE THAT ARE AGING AND, UM
HAVE PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS BASED
UPON THAT, SO, WITH THAT I'LL
MOVE THE BILL WOULD BE OUT OF
HIS CO AUTHOR. GREAT. WE HAVE A
MOTION BY MR CHOLERA IN A
SECOND. BYE, MR WARD. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS MS CARILLO
THEN MR WARDEN. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR. THANK YOU
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FOR SHARING
YOUR MICROPHONE WITH ME HAVE I
NEED TO HAVE A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR BILL AS IT
IMPACTS SMALL LANDLORDS. SO FOUR
UNITS AND FOUR UNITS AND ABOVE
IT IS STILL A MOM AND POP IN MY
DISTRICT. I HAVE A LOT OF DUPLEX
TRIPLEX FOUR PLEX. I'M I'D LIKE
TO GET SOME CLARITY AS TO, UM IF
YOU HAVE A IF YOU HAVE A TENANT
THAT LIVES ON THE SECOND FLOOR,
THEN DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF
FIRST REFUSAL TO GET THE BOTTOM
UNIT. IF A BOTTOM UNIT BECOMES
AVAILABLE THAN THEY AND THEY HAD
UNDEMONSTRATIVE PHYSICAL
MOBILITY, DISABILITY THEY WOULD
HAVE A RIGHT TO MOVE, ASSUMING
THE LOCAL JURISDICTION ADOPTED
RULES, RIGHT. UH THERE WERE
ALLOW THEM TO MOVE TO THE FIRST
FLOOR UNIT. AT THE SAME RENTAL
RATE, THE FIRST ONE UNIT WOULD
HAVE TO BE COMPARABLE. AND THE
COMPARABILITY JUST UM DEFINITION
WAS ONE THAT WE TOOK FROM THE
CALIFORNIA APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
DIRECTLY FROM THEM SO THAT THAT
CAME FROM THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT ASSOCIATION. I'M NOT
SURE THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION.
SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT IF THE
BOTTOM UNIT BECOMES AVAILABLE.
AND YOU HAVE SOMEONE WITH A
DISABILITY THAT LIVES ON THE
SECOND FLOOR. DO THEY HAVE A
RIGHT TO GET THAT UNIT FIRST
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE? MHM YES,
THEY WOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO GET
IT BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE. UH
ASSUMING THAT THEY MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS, YOU KNOW THAT THEY
CAN DEMONSTRATE A PHYSICAL
MOBILITY THAT WHAT HAPPENS IF
THAT LOWER UNIT IS MORE RENT
THAN THE SECOND UNIT ABOVE, SO
WE DID ADD THINGS IN RESPONSE TO
CALIFORNIA APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
. THERE'S A STANDARD IN THE
BILL. THAT BASICALLY SAYS SO.
WHAT? I MEAN, YOU'RE YOU'RE
FOCUSING ON LIKE THE DETAILS
THAT WE REALLY DID FOCUS ON
WHICH WOULD SAY YOU HAVE SOMEONE
WHO'S BEEN ENOUGH FLOOR UNIT
FOR, SAY, 10 YEARS, THE MARKET
RENT FOR ALL THE UNITS AS 2000,
RIGHT, AND THEY WERE PAYING 1500
YOU GENERALLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
WHEN THE BOTTOM FLOOR UNIT OPENS
UP OFTEN? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS
THAT WOULD BE RENOVATED, UM, IN
ORDER TO SUPPORT HIGHER RENT,
RIGHT, UM, BRINGING IT UP TO
MARKET TO THE 2000. THIS WOULD
NOT REQUIRE A RENOVATION AS LONG
AS IT BEATS HEALTH AND SAFETY
STANDARDS, ONE IT ALSO IF IT WAS
RECENTLY RENOVATED SO THAT YOU
KNOW, AND THEY WERE GETTING A
HIGHER RENT. THERE'S A PROVISION
THAT PROTECTS THE LANDLORD WHERE
THEY RENT CONTROL BOARD. IF THEY
APPLY. IF THEY REQUEST IT CAN
TEST TO DETERMINE THAT THEY'RE
GETTING A FAIR RIGHT RATE OF
RETURN ON THAT UNIT. SO IT DOES
PROTECT LANDLORDS, UM, FROM AH!
PROTECTS LANDLORDS FOR PEOPLE
THAT ARE MOVING INTO A UNION
THAT WAS RECENTLY RENOVATED
BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT TO GET A
FAIR RATE OF RETURN ON THAT
UNIT. SO AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE
THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. SO IF
THEY SAY THE UNIT BELOW ITS
$2000 AND THE RENTER. ABOVE IS
1500 DOES THE RENTER ABOVE GET
THE UNIT BELOW FOR 1500 OR 3500
? THEY WOULD RETAIN THEIR RATE
THEY WERE RETAINED OR RATE.
RIGHT. SO HOW DOES THAT PROTECT
THE SMALL MOM AND POP LANDLORDS
TO BE ABLE TO? THEY'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO RE RENT THE TOP FLOOR
UNIT AT 2001, SO THAT WOULD GO
TO MARKET. AND IF, IN FACT THEY,
UM THE MARKET RATE RENT WAS
BASED ON A RECENT RENOVATION.
RIGHT THEN I MEAN RECENT
RENOVATION, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY
HAVE TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS
A FAIR RATE OF RETURN. STILL
WITH THE $1500 RENT ON THE
BOTTOM FLOOR UNIT. BYE FOR
EXAMPLE. MOST OF THESE THINGS
ARE NOT RENOVATED COMPLETELY. I
MEAN THIS, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE
THAT IT'S THE SAME UNIT ON THE
TOP AND ON THE BOTTOM THERE
MOVING INTO A COMPARABLE UNIT.
THERE THEY HAVE 15. WHAT IF THE
WHAT IF THE OWNER OF THE
PROPERTY AND AGAIN I'M TALKING
ABOUT JUST REGULAR PEOPLE THAT
OWN A FOUR PLEX? WE'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT LARGE APARTMENT
COMPLEXES. WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT DEVELOPERS. WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT EVERYDAY PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT
A PROPERTY WHO HAVE A DUPLEX AND
TRIPLEX IN YOUR CASE OF FOUR
PLEX OR ABOVE RIGHT? JUST
REGULAR FOLKS IN MY DISTRICT.
THAT AREN'T PART OF ANY
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION. THEY'RE
NOT PART OF. ANY KIND OF
ORGANIZATION THAT REPRESENTS
THEM, BUT THEY'RE LOOKING TO
IMPROVE THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEY
WANT TO MAKE RENOVATIONS. THAT'S
JUST KIND OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO
GET OUT HERE WOULD BE ABLE TO
MAKE RENOVATIONS ON THE TOP
FLOOR UNIT, BUT NOT ON THE
BOTTOM ONE. THEY COULD THEY
COULD THEY WANT TO KEEP NOT IF
THEY WANT, SO, BASICALLY IF THEY
WANT TO WRITE, MAKE A DECISION
ABOUT WHETHER THEY WANT TO MAKE
THE RENOVATION BASED ON THE FACT
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
RECEIVING THE SAME RENT FROM
THIS TENANT THAT THEY DID BEFORE
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE. RIGHT. BUT
THERE'S OKAY. I UNDERSTAND. WHAT
IF THEY LET ME JUST SORT IT
ANYWAY? IF THE PERSON WAS NOT
GOING TO MOVE RIGHT, YOU WOULD
END UP HAVING THE TOP FLOOR UNIT
CONTINUING TO RENT AT $1500 A
MONTH THE BOTTOM FLOOR UNIT
WOULD GO TO 2000. AND WOULD GO
TO 2000. I MEAN, SO NOW YOU JUST
YOU JUST FLIPPING THE TWO UNITS.
THE BOTTOM FLOOR IS AT 1500.
THEY COULD THEN MOVE THE TOP
FLOOR UNIT TO 2000. SO THE
LANDLORD IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME
PLACE AND THEY HAVE A PROTECTION
THAT ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR UNIT.
THEY'RE STILL GETTING A FAIR
RATE OF RETURN FOR THAT UNIT.
OKAY SO IT'S ACTUALLY MORE
PROTECTIVE THAN WHAT TYPICALLY
THE RENT CONTROL LAWS DO, WHICH
BASICALLY IS LOOKING AT THEIR
RATE OF RETURN FOR ALL OF THE
UNITS TOGETHER, THEY GET AND
THAT WAS SOMETHING FRANKLY, THAT
I THINK A LOT OF THE RENT
CONTROL PEOPLE WERE NERVOUS
ABOUT IN THIS BILL. WE GAVE THEM
AT THE REQUEST OF THE CALIFORNIA
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION. WE GAVE
THEM THAT ADDITIONAL PROTECTION
, WHICH IS UNUSUAL IN THE RED
CONTROL LAWS. ANGELES HAS VERY
STRINGENT, UH, VERY PRO TENANT
LABOR PROTECTION. UM PRO TENANT
HOUSING POLICIES, WHICH IS GREAT
FOR INDIVIDUAL, ESPECIALLY AS WE
FACE, UM IN MY COMMUNITY,
MASSIVE GENTRIFICATION WHERE
APARTMENTS ARE JUST GOING. FOR A
LOT HIGHER. WHAT I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT AGAIN. IT'S SMALL MOM AND
POP LANDLORDS AT FOUR UNITS WHO
ARE JUST WORKING PEOPLE IN EAST
LOS ANGELES AND OTHER PARTS OF
MY DISTRICT WHO ARE NOT
REPRESENTED BY ANY ASSOCIATION
WHO WANT TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO
THEIR HOME WHO WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY HAVE GOOD TENANTS. AND
WHAT IN? MY OTHER QUESTION IS IF
YOU ARE SAYING THAT AN
INDIVIDUAL ON A SECOND UNIT ON
THE SECOND FLOOR HAS THE RIGHT
TO HAVE THAT FIRST UNIT IF THEY
MEASURE TO ALL OF YOUR STANDARDS
, WHAT IF THAT FAMILY WANTS TO
MOVE IN A FAMILY MEMBER? ARE
THEY THEN NOT ALLOWED? YOU KNOW
THAT? THAT'S SOMETHING WHERE
HAPPY TO SORT OF TAKE AMENDMENTS
TO THE BILL. IF IT'S SORT OF A
FAMILY MEMBER AND AN OWNERSHIP
THAT WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO DO
THAT. I MEAN, I THINK AT THAT
POINT WE WOULD THINK OF THAT IS
NOT AN AVAILABLE UNIT. BUT WE
DON'T HAVE THAT SPECIFIC AND
HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT IN THE
BILL. I THINK THAT WOULD BE
IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY AGAIN
BECAUSE I'M TALKING ABOUT JUST
EVERYDAY PEOPLE THAT HAVE A
PROPERTY THAT ARE TRYING TO DO
THE RIGHT THING IN THEIR
COMMUNITY AND LIKE IN MY
COMMUNITY. WE HAVE
MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILIES
LIVING TOGETHER AND ONE PARCEL
OF LAND. I WOULD WORRY THAT IF
YOU WOULD HAVE SOMEONE WHICH I
AGREE WITH YOU. WE SHOULD
ABSOLUTELY CREATE PROTECTIONS
FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
BUT IF SOMEONE IS AT THE LOWER
AT THE LOWER UNIT AND SAY THE
FAMILY WANTS TO MOVE IN A
GRANDMOTHER OR GRANDFATHER, WHO
ALSO HAS MOBILITY ISSUES, RIGHT?
HOW HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THAT
FAMILY IS ABLE TO STAY WHOLE
WHILE ALSO CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES ELSEWHERE, HAPPY
TO TAKE AMENDMENTS TO ADDRESS
THAT SITUATION? I THINK WE'VE
ASSUMED THAT THIS APPLIES TO
AVAILABLE UNITS NEWLY AVAILABLE
UNITS. WE CAN DEAL WITH THE
FAMILY SITUATION. I SHARE YOUR
CONCERNS ABOUT SMALL LANDLORDS.
IN FACT, PART OF THE REASON I
THINK THE FOLKS WHO WANTS
HIGHWOOD WHICH WE'VE DEALT WITH
THE LONGEST ON THIS INCENTIVE TO
SANTA MONICA CAME OUT A LITTLE
BIT LATER. I MEAN, I HAVE BEEN
VERY FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT
WE HAVE REALLY OF THE RIGHT
BALANCE BETWEEN LANDLORDS AND
TENANTS, AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE
THAT THERE'S LANDLORD
PROTECTIONS IN THIS WE PUT IN
EVERY SINGLE REQUEST THAT THE
CALIFORNIA APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
ASKED US TO PUT IN THIS BILL TO
PROTECT LANDLORDS AND SMALLER
LANDLORDS. AND SO YOU KNOW, I,
UM YOU KNOW, I THINK WE AND
WE'RE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THIS IN
ADDITION TO THAT, BUT WHEN YOU
LOOK AT IT ROUGHLY UM A LANDLORD
MAKES DECISIONS ABOUT WHEN
THEY'RE GOING TO DO MAJOR
RENOVATIONS ON THEIR PROPERTY.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'RE
PUT IN A DIFFERENT POSITION WITH
THE BILL. YOU JUST SORT OF
FLIPPING THE TWO UNITS AT THE
TIME THEY COULD DECIDE THEY
WANTED TO IMPROVE THE UPPER UNIT
WHILE THE PERSON IS THERE AND
THE UNIT AND THIS DOESN'T
PREVENT THEM FROM DOING THAT,
EITHER. IT BASICALLY GIVES THEM
A PROTECTION ON THE LOWER UNIT.
IT HAS TO BE COMPARABLE, AND
FRANKLY. WHAT WE'RE ALSO HEARING
. I THINK THE REASON IS THAT
GENERALLY THE UPPER UNITS ARE
THE MORE DESIRABLE UNITS BECAUSE
THEY'VE GOT VIEWS BECAUSE OF
OTHER, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE FURTHER
AWAY FROM THE STREET. UM SO YOU
KNOW, I WAS. THERE WAS ALSO ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
MAKING SURE THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE
BASICALLY YOU KNOW, THESE ARE
PEOPLE THAT ARE DISABLED THAT
ULTIMATELY IF THEY CAN'T MOVE,
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE FACING IS
POTENTIALLY BEING OUT ON THE
STREET. BECAUSE IF THEY CAN'T
AFFORD 2000, YOU KNOW IF THEY
HAVE TO MOVE THIS ISN'T A PLACE
AND THEY HAD TO MOVE TO THAT
FIRST FLOOR UNIT. THEN THEIR
RENT IS GOING TO GO TO 2000 OR
IF THEY HAVE TO MOVE TO ANOTHER
MARKET RATE UNIT THAT'S
COMPARABLE IN THE SAME CITY. THE
RENT IS GOING TO GO TO 2000. SO
IT IS THE PHYSICAL MOBILITY THAT
IS CAUSING THEM TO NOT BE ABLE
TO KEEP THEIR RENT CONTROLLED
LIMIT. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
SO I THINK IT'S A YOU KNOW, I
THINK IT'S A RIGHTEOUS BILL, AND
IT REALLY IS SOMETHING THAT
PROTECTS AND IT'S NOT JUST ONE
PERSON. WE KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN
WEST HOLLYWOOD AND SANTA MONICA
THAT ARE FACING THIS. AND AS YOU
KNOW, OUR POPULATION AGES. WE
NEED TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT
COMMON SENSE THINGS. YOU KNOW,
UM THE CALIFORNIA PURPOSE
ASSOCIATION IS NEUTRAL. THEY'RE
NOT. BUT THEY WORKED HARD WITH
ME. I TOOK ALL OF THE
AMENDMENTS. AND WE'LL CONTINUE.
I THINK YOU'VE RAISED A REALLY
GOOD POINT ABOUT FAMILY MEMBERS.
FOR THE SOME OF THE SMALLER
THINGS WE WILL LOOK AT THAT, AND
I THINK THAT WE CAN CRAFT
RESPONSE TO THAT THAT I THINK,
WILL THE WILL. YOU KNOW THAT
WILL ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMITMENT ON
WORKING ON ISSUES RELATED TO
FAMILY. I THINK THAT'S
IMPORTANT. LINCOLN HEIGHTS. EL
SERENO. ESTELLA IS NOT SANTA
MONICA. IT'S NOT WITH HOLLYWOOD.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT. MY COMMUNITY
HAS DIFFERENT. UM UM, POLICIES I
THINK RELATED TO THOSE
PARTICULAR CITIES. AND I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT AT THE END
OF THE DAY WHILE WE TRY TO DO AS
MUCH AS WE CAN, FOR THE
DISABILITY COMMUNITY AND REALLY
IN GENERAL, THIS IS ALSO AN
ISSUE THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP.
WITHIN OUR VETERANS COMMUNITY AS
WELL. MANY IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
WAR VETERANS HAVE COME BACK
WITHOUT LIMBS. AND SO IT'S AN
ISSUE OF AGE AND MOBILITY AND
ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT ISSUES.
UM AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
CRAFT POLICIES THAT RELATE TO
THAT. I WILL SAY THAT ANOTHER
CONVERSATIONS RELATED TO HOUSING
AND ALL THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE
AMID COVID RELIEF FOR BOTH
TENANTS AND LANDLORDS. ONE THING
THAT WE MISSED IS THAT LANDLORDS
WERE NOT ABLE TO PUT IN FORWARD
THEIR APPLICATION PROCESS
WITHOUT THE TENANT SIGNING OFF.
SO IF YOU HAD A TENANT THAT
REFUSED TO DO THE APPLICATION
FOR THE COVID 19 PROTECTIONS.
THAT LANDLORD WAS LEFT ON THEIR
OWN. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
AS WELL AS AS LANDLORDS TRY TO
FIGURE OUT THEIR MORTGAGE SO
THEY DON'T LOSE THEIR HOMES.
THEY DON'T LOSE THAT FOUR PLEX
THAT HOUSES ALL OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS, RIGHT? SO IT'S I
THINK A BROADER CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW WE DO IT. I THINK IT'S
A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'RE
ALSO PROTECTING THOSE SMALL MOM
AND POP, JUST REGULAR WORKING
FOLKS THAT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
AT SOME POINT TO BE ABLE TO BUY
A PROPERTY WHICH IN MY DISTRICT
AND IN YOURS AS WELL, HAS JUST
BECOME MORE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT
. UM, AND FIGURING OUT WAYS IN
WHICH WE CAN THINK ABOUT
MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILIES THAT
LIVE IN THESE PROPERTIES AS
WELL. AND HOW WE PROTECT THEM. I
YOU KNOW, I SHARE YOUR CONCERNS
. I REALLY DO. I MEAN, I THINK
WHEN YOU IF YOU TALK TO THE
FOLKS HERE IN WEST HOLLYWOOD, I
WAS VERY FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE
THAT WE WERE FAIR TO LANDLORDS.
AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE THAT. YOU
KNOW IF YOU READ THIS CAREFULLY
, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE BILL
THERE'S ORIGINALLY STARTED. I
MEAN, IT WENT IN THE DIRECTION
OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT
LANDLORDS ESPECIALLY THE SMALL
MOM AND POP LANDLORDS, THAT WE
WERE STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE,
BUT I AGREE WITH YOU AND MY
BROTHER WAS, YOU KNOW WHO
DOESN'T HAVE ANY INCOME? OWNS A
THREE UNIT BUILDING A NEW MEXICO
THAT MY MOM BOUGHT FOR HIM
BECAUSE HE IS NOT GOING TO HAVE
INCOME. AND YOU KNOW, THESE ARE
LIKE $500 A MONTH UNITS AND,
FRANKLY DURING COVID, HE WASN'T
ABLE TO THAT'S LIKE HIS WHOLE
INCOME. HE WASN'T ABLE TO GET
ANY INCOME FOR THAT PERIOD OF
TIME. AND BASICALLY ONCE THE
MORE TIME OF EVERYONE LEFT AND
YOU KNOW, LANDLORDS, THE SMALL
LANDLORDS ARE FACING ISSUES, SO
I SEE THAT SIDE OF THE COIN, AND
THAT'S WHY I REALLY WORKED HARD
TO, I THINK, MAKE SURE THAT THIS
DIRECTIVE STRUCK THE RIGHT
BALANCE. BUT, YOU KNOW, COMING
BACK TO THIS. THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE IN THE SITUATIONS THESE
ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT CAN'T GET
OUT OF THEIR APARTMENT. THEY
BECOME HOMEBOUND, AND THEN THEY
NEED ALL KINDS OF SOCIAL
SERVICES THAT WE'RE GOING TO
STAY THERE OR THEY'RE BASICALLY
GOING TO BE OUT ON THE STREET
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE
ABLE TO AFFORD A MARKET RATE
RENT IN THEIR COMMUNITY, SO
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS? WE HAVE A MOTION AND
A SECOND. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? UM GENERALLY, I THINK
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THE
ISSUES. ONE IS, YOU KNOW THE
OTHERS THAT WERE SORT OF RAISED
ABOUT SORT OF THE FIRST FLOOR.
BIGGEST SUPERIOR LOCATION AGAIN
. THE WE GOT THE DEFINITION OF
WHAT'S COMPARABLE FROM THE
CALIFORNIA APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
. THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE
INTERACTIVE PROCESS THAT
ACTUALLY CAME FROM THE APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION WANTING TO PRESERVE
THAT SO THE INTENTION IS TO
PRESERVE THE INTERACTIVE PROCESS
THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE AND WE
WORK WITH SOME OF THE LOCAL
APARTMENT ASSOCIATIONS TO
CONTINUE TO RAISE THAT IN THE
REALTORS TO TRY TO TWEAK THAT. I
THINK IT'S INTENDED TO BE
COMPLEMENTARY TO THAT WHOLE
PROCESS UNDER THE A, D, A. AND
THEN ON NOTICE REQUIREMENTS WILL
LOOK AT THAT ABOUT WHETHER OR
NOT WE NEED TO DO MORE REQUIRE
THAT THE LOCAL JURISDICTION PUT
SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, FIGURE
OUT HOW WE MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE
OF HOW THIS WILL WORK, BUT WE'LL
LOOK AT THE NOTICE ISSUES AND
WITH THAT, I JUST WANT TO THANK
THE STAFF. I WANT TO THANK MY
STAFF. I WANT TO THANK THE CITY
OF WEST HOLLYWOOD IN THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA AND THE COUNTY OF
LOS ANGELES, WHICH HAS MADE THIS
A PRIORITY AND RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
WEBER. THIS I BELIEVE IS A VERY
REASONABLE, UM, NARROWLY CRAFTED
PROTECTION. IT'S GOING TO HELP
OUR MOST VULNERABLE FOLKS WHO
NEED IT, SO I APPRECIATE IT. I
KNOW THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES
INTO THESE BILLS. I ALSO
UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS THAT
WERE RAISED. I KNOW YOU'LL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THOSE AND
WITH THAT HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE
BILL, IT'S EMOTION DO PASS AS
AMENDED. WEEKS HARRISON. KOREA
KOREA, I ZIPPER. I CHOLERA.
QUIRK-SILVA QUIRK-SILVA. AYE,
SANCHEZ. SANCHEZ NO WORD. I
REMEMBER COLA. UM, I'M SORRY. I
DIDN'T HEAR I THANK YOU. 7 TO 1
. THAT BILL IS OUT. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. 61 TO 1. YEAH 61. MR
PATTERSON IS IN HERE. GREAT WE
HAVE LAST BUT NOT LEAST. MR
WARD. CERTAINLY NOT LEAST. THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS AND AS
MY WITNESSES COMING FORWARD
FIRST LIKE TO ACCEPT THE THANK
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR ALL THE
HARD WORK ON THIS BILL AND
GLADLY ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE'S
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. ESSENTIALLY
WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE REFINANCE
OUR OWN PROPERTIES THAT WERE
ABLE TO USE SOME OF THAT EQUITY
FOR WHATEVER PURPOSES WE WANT,
BUT RIGHT NOW, THE LAW DOES NOT
ALLOW FOR A LOT OF OUR STATE
FUNDED PROGRAMS THAT HAVE THOSE
FUNDS AND BETTER WITHIN EXISTING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.
FOR MANY OF THOSE THOSE THOSE
DEVELOPERS THOSE OWNERS TO BE
ABLE TO DO THE SAME. THIS BILL
85 15 WILL ALLOW SALES
REFINANCING OF LOANS ON
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS AS
LONG AS THE FUNDS ARE
CONTRIBUTED TO OTHER PROJECTS
THAT WILL IMPROVE OR INCREASE
THE SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
. ANY SALE REFINANCING OF LOANS
WOULD ALSO INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT
THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT REMAINS AFFORDABLE
FOR THE DURATION OF THE ORIGINAL
LOAN PERIOD. SO WHAT THIS BILL
HAS IS ABLE TO DO IT ACTUALLY
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO UNLOCK
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR HCG TO
BE ABLE TO USE MORE QUICKLY TO
INCREASE THE STOCK OF ADDITIONAL
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS WITHOUT
SACRIFICING AFFORDABILITY. AND
WITHOUT NEW MONEY. I'D LIKE TO
PRESENT MY WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL ERIN AUDREY
MONTGOMERY AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT
AND PAT STABLE HOUSE. THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA COUNCIL FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FOR I VOTE.
THANK YOU. SECOND. YES YES. YEAH
WE HAVE EMOTION. A SECOND, BUT
CARRY ON. JUST GONNA SAY GOOD
MORNING, BUT I THINK IT'S
AFTERNOON. SO GOOD AFTERNOON
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. MY NAME IS
AARON AUTRY MONTGOMERY. I'M HERE
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF THE 5 15.
I'VE WORKED IN THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FINANCE FIELD IN THE
WEEDS OF THIS FOR NEARLY 20
YEARS. AS YOU KNOW, MOST
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS OR
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
CONSISTING OF GENERAL PARTNERS
WHO HAVE TYPICALLY DEVELOPED THE
PROJECTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
ONGOING OPERATIONS. AND AN
INVESTOR LIMITED PARTNER THAT
HAS PURCHASED ALONE COME HOUSING
TAX CREDITS. TAX CREDITS FLOW TO
THAT INVESTOR OVER THE 1ST 10
YEARS OF THE OPERATIONS WITH A
FIVE YEAR ADDITIONAL TRAILING
COMPLIANCE PERIOD. AT THE END OF
THIS REQUIRED COMPLIANCE PERIOD
. THE INVESTOR WANTS TO EXIT THE
PARTNERSHIP. ADDITIONALLY, AT
THIS TIME MOST MANY COMMERCIAL
LENDERS REQUIRE THEIR INTEREST
RATE BE RESET AND A NEW HIGHER
RATE OR FOR THAT LOAN TO BE
REPAID THIS IN THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WORLD AT YOUR 15 IS THE
TYPICAL TIME TO RECAPITALIZE THE
PROJECT OR, IN SOME CASES SELL
THE PROJECT TO OTHER AFFORDABLE
OWNER OPERATORS. IF THIS BILL
PASSES, THERE ARE MANY PROJECTS
THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO
RECAPITALIZE WITH THE NEW
COMMERCIAL DEBT IN AN AMOUNT
THAT WOULD ALLOW ALL OF THE
FOLLOWING THE PAYOFF OF THE
EXISTING COMMERCIAL DEBT, THE
BIO OF THAT INVESTOR LIMITED
PARTNER BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY TO
YOUR COMMITTEE AND THE
DEPARTMENT THAT PRE PAYMENT OF
THE HDD LOAN. WE'D ALSO SEE
PAYMENT OF ANY DEFERRED FEES TO
THE DEVELOPER GENERAL CONTRACTOR
THAT WEREN'T PAID DURING THE 15
YEAR COMPLIANCE PERIOD OR DURING
THE DEVELOPMENT, ANY GENERAL
PARTNER LOANS AND WITH ANY
SURPLUS FUNDS GOING TO THE
GENERAL PARTNER TO USE HER
RENOVATIONS. OR TO REINVEST IN
OTHER AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS. CURRENTLY HD PROHIBITS
THIS FOR THE SURPLUS FUNDS OR
USING THAT MANNER. THIS BILL IS
NECESSARY TO ALLOW THOSE
PROJECTS THAT CONTINUE TO BE
OPERATED FEASIBLY WITH CURRENT
REGULATORY AGREEMENTS IN PLACE
FOR THE FULL 35 YEARS, ALLOWED
THE DEPARTMENT TO REPAID
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THAT
ORIGINAL LOAN AND ALLOW THE
PARTNERSHIP TO DO RENOVATIONS.
THE DEPARTMENT COULD RECEIVE
FUNDS TO REINVEST IN MUCH NEEDED
NEW, AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. I DO THINK
THERE ARE POTENTIAL AREAS TO
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE BILLS.
IT MOVES FORWARD THROUGH
COMMITTEES AND BY ENGAGING WITH
THE DEPARTMENT, SPECIFICALLY
ALLOWING THE REGULATORY
AGREEMENT TO BE SUBORDINATED FOR
POLICIES CURRENTLY IN PLACE IN
THE UNIFORM, MULTI FAMILY RIGS
AS WELL AS ALLOWING SURPLUS
FUNDS TO FLOW TO THE GENERAL
PARTNER AFTER THE HDD LOAN
REPAYMENT THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING
ME TO VOICE MY SUPPORT OF MAYBE
5 15. THANK YOU. MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. I CAN
SMELL HUNGER PAYING ALL OVER THE
PLACE HERE, SO I WILL BE AND
WILL BE BRIEF. MY NAME IS
PATRICK SABLE HOUSE. I'M
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA COUNCIL FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WHICH WAS
ESTABLISHED IN 1976, SO IT'S
BEEN AROUND FOREVER AS A AS AN
ADVOCATE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
. ITS MEMBERSHIP IS MADE UP OF
FOR PROFIT AND NONPROFIT
DEVELOPERS. UM GENERAL
CONTRACTORS, BUILDERS AND IN IN
IN MOST IMPORTANTLY, INVESTORS
IN THE IN THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS OR SO.
LET ME BEGIN BY BY THANKING
ASSEMBLY AWARD FOR INTRODUCING
THIS ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION TO
SAVE AND PROTECT EIGHT CDS
PORTFOLIO OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND TO KEEP LENDERS INVOLVED IN
THIS PROCESS. PRIVATE LENDERS SO
THAT MAKE UP THE BULK OF THE
FINANCING THAT'S REQUIRED IN
ORDER TO EXPAND AND CONTINUE
DEVELOPING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
UM. FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS OR
MORE. UM WE HAVE URGED EIGHT CD
TO ALLOW REFINANCING OF OLDER
EIGHT CD PROJECTS TO SATISFY ALL
OR SOME OF THE REASONS THAT WERE
POINTED OUT QUITE ACCURATELY.
BYE BYE, MISS MONTGOMERY A
MOMENT AGO. UNFORTUNATELY THOSE
CONVERSATIONS WITH H C D. IF NOT
YET LEAD TO A TO THE POLICY
CHANGE THAT WE THINK IS NEEDED
MORE FLEXIBILITY ON THEIR PART
IS TO IS TO WHY THIS THIS
REFINANCING IS REQUIRED. UM.
RATHER THAN GO THROUGH THE
REFINANCING OF NEEDS, AND WHY
WHY REFINANCING IS SO IMPORTANT
? I WILL SIMPLY STRESS WHAT WHAT
MISS MONTGOMERY POINTED OUT. UH
LENDERS. LENDERS DON'T GIVE YOU
A CHOICE ON THIS WHEN LENDERS
MADE THESE LOANS 15 OR 20 YEARS
AGO IN ALMOST EVERY INCIDENCE,
THE PRIVATE LENDERS WILL WILL
PUT A CONDITION IN IN THE DEED
OF TRUST AND IN THE LOAN
AGREEMENT THAT REQUIRES THAT
THEY BE REPAID IN YOUR 15 OR 16
, OR 17 OR 18, EVEN THOUGH THE
AMORTIZATION PERIOD MAY MAYBE 30
OR 40 YEARS. BUT BUT IT'S LIKE
THERE'S NO DEBATING HERE THAT
THAT THEY HAVE TO BE PAID OFF
AND THAT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
REFINANCE THE PROJECT, AND IT'S
NOT. IT DOES NO HARM TO ANYONE.
NONE OF THE TENANTS DOES NO HARM
TO EIGHT C D, UH AND IT DOES
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT IS EXPECTED IN
THE LENDING INDUSTRY TODAY, AND
IF YOU COULD WRAP UP UM SO LET
ME LET ME JUST GET THROUGH THIS
IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIRMAN SAID,
THERE'S NO DOWNSIDE TO H C D OR
EXISTING PROJECTS TO ALLOW
REFINANCING. GIVEN THAT A B 5 15
REQUIRES THAT RENT RESTRICTIONS
STAY IN PLACE. REGULATORY
AGREEMENTS WERE PLAYING IN PLACE
AND NO TENANT WILL SUFFER OR BE
HARMED BY WAY OF REFINANCING. UH
MAYBE 5 15 IS ALL UPSIDE. IN
THAT IT ENSURES THOUSANDS OF
UNITS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
AVAILABLE. REHAB UP, SIR IS
NEEDED, SO I WILL STOP THERE AND
YOU'RE AT YOUR YOUR YOUR CHOICE
