200.0000 BASE YEAR VALUE TRANSFER

(d) BASE YEAR VALUE TRANSFER – CONTAMINATED PROPERTY

Annotation 200.0560

200.0560 Replacement Property. Property owner Z owns two lots across the street from each other. Before contamination was discovered, one lot was vacant, and the other had two structures, a single family residence and a garage with a living unit over it. Both structures were demolished due to the remediation. Z intends to build a retail store with a living unit over it on the lot that was formerly vacant. No base year value may be transferred to the vacant lot pursuant to section 2(i) of article XIII A of the California Constitution because both lots were owned by the same person and because the lot was not acquired within five years after the sale or transfer of the contaminated property. Neither will the new structure qualify for the new construction exclusion because the lot on which it is being built was vacant at the time of the remediation and thus, the new structure is not the repair or replacement of a damaged or destroyed structure on the qualified contaminated property.
