Section 14528.6.

A local alternative transportation improvement program, approved pursuant to Section 14528.5, shall include all of the following:

(a) A program to provide relocation assistance for residents eligible for relocation assistance pursuant to Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 7260) of Division 7 of Title 1 of this code and guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 50460 of the Health and Safety Code.

(b) A program to provide relocation assistance for all lower income households, regardless of their eligibility for assistance pursuant to subdivision (a), who will be displaced from their residences because of actions taken to finance or implement the local alternative improvement transportation program, including sale or removal of their residences. To be eligible for assistance, lower income households shall have occupied their residence on the date that the local alternative transportation improvement program was approved by the commission. The program shall comply with the requirements, except eligibility requirements, of Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 7260) of Division 7 of Title 1 of this code and with guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 50460 of the Health and Safety Code.

(c) A program to provide all persons or families who are not otherwise eligible for assistance pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b), with relocation advice and moving expenses, as defined in Section 7261 and subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 7262.

(d) A program to provide replacement housing units for persons and families of low or moderate income at an affordable housing cost. At a minimum, the program shall provide that the total number of new units for persons or families of low or moderate income to be provided shall be equal to or greater than the number of units occupied by persons or families of low or moderate income displaced by the local alternative transportation improvement program, and that the total number of new housing units to be provided for lower income households shall be equal to or greater than the number of units occupied by lower income households displaced by the local alternative transportation improvement program. The number of units so provided shall be determined at least one year prior to the date the commission approves the local alternative transportation improvement program. If it is not feasible to replace the total number of units required on surplus public property, other types of property shall be used in order to provide the replacement units. Replacement of the units shall be completed utilizing funds other than those derived from the sale of excess properties and shall be completed within four years of the date the persons or families are displaced or, if unoccupied, from the date of demolition or removal. Unoccupied units shall be replaced in the same ratio as units occupied by persons and families of low and moderate income in the right-of-way. It shall be an objective of the program that, where financially feasible, the number of new housing units of persons and families of low or moderate income shall be not less than 20 percent of all new housing units developed on the aggregate surplus public property.

(e) For purposes of this section, the terms "affordable housing cost," "lower income households," and "persons and families of low or moderate income" shall be defined as provided in Division 31 (commencing with Section 50000) of the Health and Safety Code.

(f) Unless specifically stated, this section shall in no way reduce or limit any requirements for the provision of housing for persons or families of low or moderate income as contained in any other provision of law.

(g) No state highway account funds shall be expended for planning or implementing the housing provisions of the local alternative transportation improvement program which are required to be carried out pursuant to subdivisions (b) to (d), inclusive.

(h) Neither the excess property nor the proceeds from the sale of the excess property shall be used for housing purposes. The excess property may be used for housing purposes after sale by the department.

(i) This section shall become inoperative on the date on which the superior court issues the final approval order for the settlement agreement related to the disposition of excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project signed by the department, the City of Hayward, and representatives for members of the class of residents, or on January 1, 2010, whichever comes later. This section shall be repealed on January 1 of the year following the year in which it becomes inoperative.

(Amended by Stats. 2009, Ch. 291, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 2010. Inoperative on or after January 1, 2010. Repealed on January 1 after inoperative date, by its own provisions. See later operative version added by Sec. 5 of Ch. 291.)
