	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Calderon

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2016

   An act to add Section 65009.5 to the Government Code, relating to
housing.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2282, as introduced, Calderon. Rental housing: local limits.
   Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law requires cities and
counties to prepare and adopt a general plan for their jurisdictions
that contains certain mandatory elements, including a housing
element. Existing law requires the housing element to include, among
other things, an inventory of land suitable for residential
development and make adequate provision for the existing and
projected needs of all economic segments of the community. Existing
law states legislative findings declaring that the preservation and
enhancement of opportunities for homeownership are beneficial to the
well-being and prosperity of the people of the state.
   This bill would require that, on and after January 1, 2017, the
number of single family dwellings that are used more than
intermittently as rental properties be limited to an unspecified
percent age of the total number of single family dwellings in the
relevant postal ZIP Code area. The bill would provide that, if the
number of these single family dwellings used as rental properties in
a postal ZIP Code area already exceeds that percentage on January 1,
2017, the limit on rental properties would apply prospectively to
proposed new rental properties. The bill would require the Department
of Housing and Community Development to obtain information on the
number of single family dwellings used as rental properties in postal
ZIP Code areas and make that information publicly available on its
Internet Web site, organized by ZIP Code area.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 65009.5 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   65009.5.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
provision to promote the American dream of family home ownership by
maintaining and, over time, increasing the market of homes that are
available for purchase.
   (b) (1) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, on and after
January 1, 2017, the number of single family dwellings that are used
more than intermittently as rental properties shall be limited to __
percent of the total number of single family dwellings in the
relevant postal ZIP Code area.
   (2) On January 1, 2017, if the existing number of single family
dwellings that are being used more than intermittently as rental
properties in a postal ZIP Code area already exceeds the relevant
percentage for the area, the percentage for that area is deemed met,
but not exceeded, and the limit described in paragraph (1) shall
apply prospectively to proposed new rental properties.
   (c) The Department of Housing and Community Development shall
obtain information on the number of single family dwellings used as
rental properties in postal ZIP Code areas and make that information
publicly available on its Internet Web site, organized by ZIP Code
area, so that buyers of single family dwellings can determine where
single family homes are available and where limits on rental
properties are, or may soon be, in effect.
