California Military Base Reuse and Preservation Act of 2012.

The Military Base Reuse Authority Act authorizes cities and counties to establish an authority with specified powers and duties relating to the transition of a military base to civilian use; the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Act authorizes specified local agencies to establish the Fort Ord Reuse Authority; and existing law designates the local redevelopment authority recognized by the Department of Defense as the single local reuse authority for other specified military bases. Existing law requires that the board of a military base reuse authority prepare, adopt, review, revise, and maintain a reuse plan that provides for the future use and development of territory of the former military base. Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies on February 1, 2012, and authorizes the designation of successor agencies to act as successor entities to the dissolved redevelopment agencies. Existing law provides for the continued application of specified provisions of law relating to redevelopment under specified circumstances. This bill would enact the California Military Base Reuse and Preservation Act of 2012. The bill would make several legislative findings and declarations relating to the granting of redevelopment powers to communities affected by federal military base closures. The bill would require that a reuse plan contain several elements relating to the economic, environmental, and low- and moderate-income housing impacts of the military base closure, as specified. In order to facilitate the implementation of these plan elements, the bill would authorize a reuse authority, through a transfer from the Department of Defense, to acquire and dispose of real property and other former military base assets adjacent to, or near, the former base.
