ASSEMBLY BILL
No. 160
Introduced by Assembly Member Mountjoy
December 19, 1988
An act to amend Section 33394 of the Health and Safety
Code, relating to redevelopment.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 160, as introduced, Mountjoy. Redevelopment:
eminent domain.
Existing law prohibits a redevelopment agency from
acquiring, without the owner's consent, real property on
which an existing building is to be continued in its present
form and use unless (1) the building requires structural
alteration, improvement, modernization, or rehabilitation,
(2) the site or lot on which the building is situated requires
modification in size, shape, or use, or (3) it is necessary to
impose on the property standards, restrictions, and controls of
the redevelopment plan and-the owner fails or refuses to
agree to participate in the redevelopment plan.
This bill would, instead, prohibit redevelopment agencies
from acquiring real property without the consent of the
owner for any purpose other than publicly owned public
facilities or improvements, unless the property constitutes a
public nuisance or is maintained in violation of zoning
ordinances, building or housing codes, or other health and
safety laws. The bill would require the redevelopment agency
to give the owner prescribed notice before commencing
eminent domain proceedings and a reasonable opportunity to
abate the nuisance or violations. The bill would specify that,
for its purposes, property need not conform to zoning changes
enacted pursuant to, or for the purpose of implementing, the
redevelopment plan.
