City of Roseville violated the California Surplus Land Act (SLA) regarding Phillip Road Site
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) found that the City of Roseville (“City”) violated the California Surplus Land Act (SLA) by selecting a developer in 2020 and entering into a PSA without first complying with the requirements of the SLA in place in 2020. Since then, the City failed to take the necessary steps to come into compliance with the SLA by either issuing a Notice of Availability (NOA) to all required entities or declaring the property “exempt surplus land.”
Here is link to HCD’s Notice of Violation (NOV): https://savereasonfarms.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/roseville-nov-sla-120423.pdf
Under Government Code section 54230.5, subdivision (a)(1), the City has 60 days from the date of this NOV to cure or correct the violations noted herein. The City may have multiple avenues it can pursue to comply with the SLA, and HCD invites the City to further discuss these options. In the meantime, HCD urges the City to suspend any further actions to dispose of the Property.
If the City does not cure or correct all such violations by February 4, 2024, and elects to proceed with the disposition of the Property, a penalty will be assessed to the City equal to 30 percent of the final sales price. (Gov. Code, § 54230.5, subd. (a)(1).)
HCD may also pursue additional remedies authorized under Government Code section 65585 and Government Code section 65585.1.
