Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies and community development agencies, as of February 1, 2012, and provides for the designation of successor agencies, as defined. Existing law requires successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies and to, among other things, make payments due for enforceable obligations, as defined, perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable obligation, dispose of all assets of the former redevelopment agency, and to remit unencumbered balances of redevelopment agency funds, including housing funds, to the county auditor-controller for distribution to taxing entities. Existing law requires each successor agency to have an oversight board to approve certain actions of the successor agency, including the approval of an enforceable obligation. Existing law requires the Department of Finance to review the actions of an oversight board. Existing law prescribes when an action of an oversight board shall become effective, subject to approval by the Department of Finance. Existing law provides that certain loan agreements entered into between a redevelopment agency and the city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency are deemed enforceable obligations. Existing law provides that bond proceeds derived from bonds issued by a redevelopment agency on or before December 31, 2012, are to be used for the purposes for which the bonds are sold. Existing law provides that enforceable obligations may be satisfied by the creation of reserves for projects that are the subject of the enforceable obligation, as specified. Existing law provides that an expenditure made pursuant to these provisions constitutes the creation of excess bond proceeds obligations. This bill would prohibit the Department of Finance from taking any future action to modify the enforceable obligations described above following the effective date of the approval of those enforceable obligations after review by the oversight board and the department. Existing law establishes a Community Redevelopment Property Trust Fund, administered by the successor agency, to serve as the repository of the former redevelopment agency's real properties. Existing law requires the successor agency to prepare a long-range property management plan that addresses the disposition and use of the real properties of the former redevelopment agency. Existing law provides for the transfer of property, and the liquidation of property and the use of proceeds, in a specified manner. This bill would prohibit the Department of Finance from taking any future action to modify a transfer of property, or the liquidation of property and the use of proceeds, as described above, if the transfer, liquidation, or use of proceeds is consistent with the approved plan of the successor agency. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 34191.4 and 34191.5 of the Health and Safety Code, proposed by AB 662, that would become operative only if this bill and AB 662 are chaptered and become effective January 1, 2014, and this bill is chaptered last.
The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes the legislative body of any city or county to adopt ordinances regulating zoning within its jurisdiction, as specified.

The bill would also make a technical, nonsubstantive change.
Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a local agency to make any violation of any ordinance enacted by the local agency subject to an administrative fine or penalty, as specified. This bill would, until January 1, 2020, authorize a city, county, city and county, or special district to, after notice and public hearing, specially assess any fines or penalties not paid after demand by the city, county, city and county, or special district against real property owned by the person owing those fines or penalties, where the fines or penalties are related to ordinance violations on the real property upon which the fines or penalties would be specially assessed, and the ordinance violations constitute a threat to public health and safety. This bill would require a city, county, city and county, or special district to comply with certain notice requirements. The bill would provide that the assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary county taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as are provided for ordinary county taxes, and would authorize the city, county, city and county, or special district to record a lien against the property. This bill would authorize a local agency to appoint a hearing officer to hear and decide issues regarding ordinance violations and the imposition of administrative fines and penalties. This bill would, until January 1, 2020, provide that the powers given to the legislative body of a city, county, city and county, or special district under these provisions are in addition to any other powers of a city, county, city and county, or special district under its charter or any other legal authority.
