California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33130.5

Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an officer, employee, consultant, or agent of the agency or community, for personal residential use, may purchase or lease property within a project area after the agency has certified that the improvements to be constructed or the work to be done on the property to be purchased or leased have been completed, or has certified that no improvements need to be constructed or that no work needs to be done on the property. Any such officer or employee who purchases or leases such property shall immediately make a written disclosure to the agency and the legislative body, which disclosure shall be entered on the minutes of the agency. Any such officer or employee shall thereafter be disqualified from voting on any matters directly affecting such a purchase, lease, or residency. Failure to so disclose constitutes misconduct in office.
