(a) During the period between adoption of a final regional housing needs allocation and the due date of the housing element update under Section 65588, the council of governments, subregional entity, or the department, whichever assigned the countyâs share, shall reduce the share of regional housing needs of a county if all of the following conditions are met: (1) One or more cities within the county agree to increase its share or their shares in an amount equivalent to the reduction. (2) The transfer of shares shall only occur between a county and cities within that county. (3) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the countyâs share of low-income and very low income housing shall be reduced only in proportion to the amount by which the countyâs share of moderate- and above moderate-income housing is reduced. (B) For the seventh and subsequent revisions of the housing element, the countyâs share of low-, very low, extremely low, and acutely low income housing shall be reduced only in proportion to the amount by which the countyâs share of moderate- and above moderate-income housing is reduced. (4) The council of governments, subregional entity, or the department, whichever assigned the countyâs share, shall approve the proposed reduction, if it determines that the conditions set forth in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) have been satisfied. The county and city or cities proposing the transfer shall submit an analysis of the factors and circumstances, with all supporting data, justifying the revision to the council of governments, subregional entity, or the department. The council of governments or subregional entity shall submit a copy of its decision regarding the proposed reduction to the department. (b) (1) The county and cities that have executed transfers of regional housing needs pursuant to subdivision (a) shall use the revised regional housing need allocation in their housing elements and shall adopt their housing elements by the deadlines set forth in Section 65588.

(5) All materials and data used to justify any revision shall be made available upon request to any interested party within seven days upon payment of reasonable costs of reproduction unless the costs are waived due to economic hardship. A fee may be charged to interested parties for any additional costs caused by the amendments made to former subdivision (c) of Section 65584 that reduced from 45 to 7 days the time within which materials and data were required to be made available to interested parties. (c) (1) If an incorporation of a new city occurs after the council of governments, subregional entity, or the department for areas with no council of governments, has made its final allocation under Section 65584.03, 65584.04, or 65584.06, a portion of the countyâs allocation shall be transferred to the new city. The city and county may reach a mutually acceptable agreement for transfer of a portion of the countyâs allocation to the city, which shall be accepted by the council of governments, subregional entity, or the department, whichever allocated the countyâs share.
