Existing law requires a person to be granted access to a gated community for a reasonable period of time for the purpose of performing lawful service of process or service of a subpoena, upon identifying to the guard the person or persons to be served, and upon displaying a current driver's license or other identification and specified documentation to show the individual is either acting as a representative of a county sheriff or marshal or is a registered process server. This bill would also require a person to be granted access to a gated community for service of process, under the circumstances described above, upon displaying evidence of licensure as a private investigator. This bill would state that it is not the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to abrogate or modify the holding of the court in Bein v. Brechtel-Jochim Group, Inc. (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 1387, relating to service upon a guard in a gated community.
The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes the Department of Housing and Community Development to allow a city or county to substitute the provision of units for up to 25% of the city's or county's obligation to identify adequate sites for any income category in its housing element, if the city or county includes in its housing element a program committing the city or county to provide units in that income category within the city or county that will be made available through the provision of committed assistance, during the planning period covered by the element, to very low and low-income households at affordable housing costs or affordable rents, as defined. In order for a unit to qualify for inclusion in the program, it must meet one of several, specified criteria. This bill would authorize a city or county to reduce its share of the regional housing need by the number of units built between the start of the projection period and the deadline for adoption of the housing element, and would require a jurisdiction that does so to identify in the housing element the methodology for assigning these units to an income category based on actual or projected sales price, rent levels, or other mechanisms establishing affordability.
Existing law requires a lender to file a notice of default in the case of nonjudicial foreclosure prior to enforcing a power of sale as a result of a default on an obligation secured by real property, as specified. Existing law also requires that a notice of sale be given before the power of sale may be exercised. Existing law requires the notice of sale to contain specified information regarding the property and the sale, and to be recorded with the county recorder, as specified. As of April 1, 2012, existing law also requires that the notice of sale contain language notifying potential bidders of specified risks involved in bidding on property at a trustee's sale, and a notice to the property owner informing the owner about how to obtain information regarding any postponement of the sale. This bill would prohibit a mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent from recording a notice of sale pursuant to the above provisions after providing written approval of a short sale, as defined. The bill would also authorize a mortgagee, beneficiary, or authorized agent to withdraw an approval of a short sale if the mortgagor or trustor fails to comply with a condition of the written short sale agreement. The bill would also require a written notice to be provided to a mortgagor or trustor not less than 3 days following the written withdrawal of approval that includes the reason or reasons for the withdrawal. The bill would also provide that the prohibition against recording a notice of sale would not apply after written withdrawal of a short sale approval is provided to a mortgagor or trustor, unless subsequent approval of a short sale is provided.
Existing law provides for creation of airport districts. Existing law provides for transfer of the San Diego International Airport from the San Diego Unified Port District to the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. This bill would establish the Ontario International Airport Authority as a local entity of regional government. The bill would establish the membership of the board of directors of the authority and set forth the powers of the authority. The bill would authorize the authority to enter into an agreement with the City of Los Angeles to facilitate the sale of, or the transfer of management and operational control of, the Ontario International Airport to the authority. The bill would require the authority, in cooperation with the City of Los Angeles and the City of Ontario, to develop a transition plan to facilitate the sale of, or the transfer of management and operational control of, the Ontario International Airport to the authority. The bill would also require the authority, the City of Los Angeles, the City of Ontario, the County of San Bernardino, other local and regional agencies, and the Department of Transportation to cooperate to develop effective surface transportation access to the Ontario International Airport. To the extent these provisions would impose additional duties on entities of local government, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
