(a) Notwithstanding Section 34191.1, the requirements specified in subdivision (e) of Section 34177 and subdivision (a) of Section 34181 shall be suspended, except as those provisions apply to the transfers for governmental use, until the Department of Finance has approved a long-range property management plan pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 34191.5, at which point the plan shall govern, and supersede all other provisions relating to, the disposition and use of the real property assets of the former redevelopment agency. If the department has not approved a plan by January 1, 2016, subdivision (e) of Section 34177 and subdivision (a) of Section 34181 shall be operative with respect to that successor agency.

(b) If the department has approved a successor agency’s long-range property management plan prior to January 1, 2016, the successor agency may amend its long-range property management plan once, solely to allow for retention of real properties that constitute “parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking” for governmental use pursuant to Section 34181. An amendment to a successor agency’s long-range property management plan under this subdivision shall be submitted to its oversight board for review and approval pursuant to Section 34179, and any such amendment shall be submitted to the department prior to July 1, 2016.

(c) (1) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 34181, for purposes of amending a successor agency’s long-range property management plan under subdivision (b), “parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking” do not include properties that, as of the date of transfer pursuant to the amended long-range property management plan, generate revenues in excess of reasonable maintenance costs of the properties.

(2) Notwithstanding any other law, a city, county, city and county, or parking district shall not be required to reimburse or pay a successor agency for any funds spent on or before December 31, 2010, by a former redevelopment agency to design and construct a parking facility.

(Amended by Stats. 2016, Ch. 86, Sec. 189. (SB 1171) Effective January 1, 2017.)
