The purposes and intent of the City Council with respect to the Project Area, and each Constituent Project are to achieve the following goals and objectives with respect to the Project Area: a. Eliminate and prevent the spread of conditions of blight including: underutilized properties and deteriorating buildings, incompatible and uneconomic land uses, deficient infrastructure and facilities, obsolete structures, and other economic deficiencies in order to create a more favorable environment for commercial, office, industrial, residential, and recreational development. b. Expand the commercial base of the Project Area. C. Improve public facilities and public infrastructure. d. Improve inadequate drainage infrastructure. e. Improve and/or provide electric, gas, telephone, and wastewater infrastructure to both developed and undeveloped properties within the Project Area. f. Promote local job opportunities. g. Encourage the cooperation and participation of residents, businesses, business persons, public agencies, and community organizations in the redevelopment/revitalization of the Project Area. h. Implement design and use standards to assure high aesthetic and environmental quality, and provide unity and integrity to developments within the Project Area. i. Address parcels of property that are: of irregular form and shape, are inadequately sized for proper usefulness and development, and/or are held in multiple ownership. j. Remove impediments to land disposition and development through the assembly of property into reasonably sized and shaped parcels served by - improved infrastructure and public facilities. k. Recycle and/or develop underutilized parcels to accommodate higher and better economic uses while enhancing the City's financial resources. 4 SFIs:PCD:Ordinance:Mergredv 1116/96-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 I. Promote the rehabilitation of existing housing stock. M. Increase, improve, and preserve the community's supply of housing affordable to very low, low and moderate income households. SECTION 2. The Merger Amendments to the Constituent Projects, as .incorporated in that certain document entitled "Redevelopment Plan for the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Project," the Project Area Maps and Legal Descriptions contained therein, and such other documents as are incorporated therein by reference, are hereby approved and adopted and are hereby incorporated in this Ordinance by reference and made a part hereof, and the Merger Amendments and the Redevelopment Plan are hereby designated, approved, and adopted as the official redevelopment plan for the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Project Area. SECTION 3. The City Council hereby finds and determines, based on substantial evidence in the record including, but not limited to, the Agency's Report to Council, and all documents referenced therein, and evidence and testimony received at the joint public hearing on adoption of the Redevelopment Plan held on November 18, 1996 that: a. The Project Area, which includes the Constituent Projects, continues to be blighted. The redevelopment of the Project Area is necessary to effectuate the public purposes declared in the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.). The Huntington Center Area includes office and retail uses, including the 960,000 square foot Huntington Beach Mall. The Mall comprises 58 acres, or 36.3% of the total acreage of the Huntington Center Area. A 24% drop of assessed values in this area between 1990 and 1996 has undercut the Agency's ability to fund needed improvements. This funding shortfall, coupled with an inability to incur debt after November 1996, inhibit the Agency's ability to remove blighting conditions of the increasingly obsolete and deteriorating Mall, traffic congestion on Edinger Avenue, Center Avenue and Beach Boulevard, and awkward lot configurations on Edinger. Taxable sales decreased nearly 32.3% between 1992 and 1995. Declining Mall sales also impact nearby retail uses along the Edinger Avenue Corridor. The Mall is characterized by a deteriorating facade and parking lot. There is a 50% vacancy of the in-line stores. The new owner of the Broadway anchor store space has announced its closing, and the - prospects of finding a new tenant that could utilize the space is discouraging. Tenants are only signing short-term leases and most in-line stores are leased on a month-to-month basis. 5 SFIs:PCD:Ordinance:Mergredv 11/6/96-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 The property owner is constrained from making major modifications to the Mall structure to accommodate new tenants due to the Mall's construction. The Agency desires to assist a major renovation of the Mall that will reposition the Mall and reestablish its economic viability. The repositioning of the Mall cannot be undertaken in the absence of the proposed AmendmentlMerger because the cost would exceed the revenues available to the Agency under the Constituent Plan. Despite the 1989 amendment of the original Constituent Plan for the Oakview Area which provided greater capability to the Agency to enact redevelopment programs, the following conditions have not been eliminated since its adoption in 1983: rampant crime, widespread deterioration of residences due to poverty, over-crowding, neglect and vandalism, and inadequate public infrastructure. The Oakview Area continues to have the highest crime rate in the City. The Area is still blighted by the existence of buildings and structures in varying states of deterioration and dilapidation, including the need for rehabilitation and repairs to damaged sidings, weathered roofs, deteriorating walkways and driveways, and old fencing; the existence of substandard design of lots; the existence of inadequate public improvements, facilities and utilities, including the repair and replacement of local roads, improvements to alley surfaces, the provision of wheelchair access ramps for the disabled, and the improvement to storm drains and other facilities. Other public improvement deficiencies include congested traffic on Beach Boulevard and at the intersection of Warner AvenuelBeach Boulevard. The area is plagued with abnormally high business vacancies. Assessed values of property in the Area have consistently declined over the last five years, while values in the City and County have remained stable. Despite the Agency's best efforts, many of blighting conditions persist in the 336-acre Main-Pier Area, including: deteriorating, aging, and seismically unsafe commercial buildings and housing units; narrow lots under mixed ownership that complicate the ability of the private sector to acquire and consolidate properties; and antiquated street, water, storm drainage and sewer systems. The Area is still blighted by the existence of buildings and structures in varying states of deterioration and dilapidation, including the need for rehabilitation and repairs to rotted wood sidings and porches, missing windows and doors, aging roofs and wood decay and peeling paint; the lack of landscaping, paved driveways and an adequate buffer from an oil storage tank on an adjoining lot; deterioration due to deferred - maintenance and the need for repainting and repairs to weathered eaves. Older retail and mixed use buildings are of defective design and physical construction; mixed retail and residential uses are of substandard design and dilapidated; and sites exist with toxic and hazardous waste contamination. Leasing rates for older retail space in the Area are 60-75% 6 SF/s:PCD:Ordi nance:Merg redv 11/6I96-#2 I RLS 96-781 3343 below newer adjacent retail space causing property values to decline. According to the County Assessor, 39.1% declined in assessed value between 1992-93 and 1995-96. The 70-year old storm drainage system in the Main-Pier Area continues to need improvements. In addition, other public infrastructure is also deficient, including water, street and sewer systems. b. The Redevelopment Plan will redevelop the Project Area in conformity with the California Community Redevelopment Law and in the interests of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. This finding is based upon the fact that the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Law would be attained by a program of redevelopment activities proposed by the Agency that will systematically address the conditions of blight within the Project Area, offer financial assistance for rehabilitation and conservation of structures in need of slight or moderate rehabilitation, coupled with selective property acquisition, demolition and relocation as necessary to remove the conditions of buildings suffering from deterioration and dilapidation and defective design and character of physical construction; improve traffic circulation deficiencies by reconstruction and construction of streets, and intersection capacity improvements; acquisition of lots of irregular form, shape and size for assembly into parcels suitable for development; selectively acquire key properties, with demolition and relocation as needed, to solve the problem of mixed character of building and shifting uses; alleviate blighting influences in the Project Area to create an investment environment in which property owners and private developers have the incentive and means to redevelop their properties; alleviate current constraints to rehabilitation and development in the Project Area; alleviate obstacles that currently exist to new development in commercial and industrial sectors through the Agency's public improvements program; and, stimulate the job producing economy in the Project Area by creating more employment opportunities for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labor forces. C. The adoption and carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan is economically sound and feasible. The Redevelopment Plan authorizes the Agency to finance project implementation activities with financial assistance from the City, State, Federal government, tax increment funds, interest income, Agency bonds, - donations, loans from private financial institutions, the lease or sale of Agency-owned property, participation in development or any other available sources, both public or private. The determination of financial feasibility is based on a projection of assumed annual resources and expenditures spanning the remaining time during which tax increment may be allocated 7 SFIs:FCD:Ordinance:Mergredv 1116/96-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 to the Agency from the Project. The analysis provides a method for determining the economic feasibility or sufficiency of resources to complete the proposed Implementation Program on an annual as well as an aggregate basis, and demonstrates the effects of inflation on the annual program costs to the Agency. The cash flow portrayal of economic feasibility for the Implementation Program attempts to show the use of future resources under the existing tax increment limitation and the use of future resources once the tax increment limitation is revised from a specific amount to a definite period of time. d. The Redevelopment Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City, including, but not limited to, the Housing Element, which substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code. This finding is based on the Report and Recommendation of the Planning Commission, and the fact that the land use and land use controls of the Redevelopment Plan and the General Plan are consistent. e. The carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan will promote the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City, and will effectuate the purposes and policies of the Community Redevelopment Law. Redevelopment will benefit the Project Area by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical conditions of the Project Area, and by increasing employment opportunities. f. The condemnation of real property, as provided for in the Redevelopment Plan, is necessary to the execution of the Redevelopment Plan , and adequate provisions have been made for the payment for property to be acquired as provided by law. The Agency may acquire real property, any interest in property, and any improvements on property within the Project Area by condemnation with the following exceptions: i. Within the Yorktown-Lake Area and the Talbert-Beach Area, the Agency shall not have the authority to acquire property by condemnation. ii. Within the Main-Pier Area (Original and Added), the Agency shall not have the authority to acquire, by condemnation, property on which any persons legally reside. This limitation shall supersede any and all previous limitations on the Agency's power of eminent domain within the Main-Pier Areas including, but not limited to, Agency Resolution No. 48. 8 SF/s:PCD:Ord ina nce:Mergredv 1116196-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 iii. Within the Oakview Area, the Agency shall not have the authority to acquire, by condemnation, property which is excluded from the Oakview Public Acquisition Map incorporated into the Redevelopment Plan as Exhibit "D." iv. Agency Resolution No. 48, adopted on September 7, 1982, including any amendments thereto, is hereby repealed by this Ordinance. g. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or permanently, from the Project Area. Families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation plan pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law. The Agency has a comprehensive program for the relocation of persons, families, businesses or tenants displaced by Agency project activities. When such displacement occurs, the Agency will provide persons, families, business owners and tenants displaced by Agency activities with monetary and advisory relocation assistance consistent with the California Relocation Assistance Law (Government Code, Section 7260 et seq.), the State Guidelines adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto, Relocation Assistance Rules adopted by the Agency and the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan. h. There are, or shall be provided, in the Project Area or in other areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of the families and persons who might be displaced from the Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. Dwelling units housing persons and families of low- or moderate-income shall not be removed or destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law. No person or family will be required to move from any dwelling unit until suitable relocation housing is available for occupancy, and that such housing must meet the standards established in State law and regulations. In addition, the Agency's program includes provisions for the replacement of - low and moderate income housing removed from the market as a result of Agency activities. i. All noncontiguous areas of the Project Area are either blighted or necessary for effective redevelopment and are not included for the purpose of 9 SF1s:PMOrd inance Vergreciv 1216196-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 obtaining the allocation of taxes from the area pursuant to Section 33670 without other substantial justification for their inclusion. The Project Area is comprised of five noncontiguous Constituent Project Areas and is not an initial adoption of a project, but an amendment and merger of five previously adopted redevelopment plans to complete the redevelopment of the areas already begun. Blight in each Constituent Project was determined during the prior adoption of each separate redevelopment plan. This Redevelopment Plan is a compilation and continuation of implementation of the five prior plans. j. Inclusion of any lands, buildings, or improvements which are not detrimental to public health, safety or welfare is necessary for the effective redevelopment of the entire area of which they are a part, and any such area is not included solely for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of tax increment revenues from such area pursuant to Section 33670 of the Community Redevelopment Law without other substantial justification for its inclusion. The Project is a compilation and continuation of the implementation and completion of five previously adopted redevelopment plans. k. The elimination of blight and the redevelopment of the Project Area could not reasonably be expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without the aid and assistance of the Agency. Significant blight remains within the Project Area and the blight cannot be eliminated without the establishment of additional debt and an increase in the limitation on the number of dollars to be allocated to the Agency. The continued existence of blighting influences, including the lack of adequate public improvements and facilities, and the inability of individual owners and developers to economically remove these blighting influences requires substantial assistance from the Agency. The private sector investment in the Project Area will require significant public sector subsidy. Acting alone, the private sector has not been willing or able to stem or reverse the conditions of blight. In order to correct these physical and economic conditions, the Agency needs additional financial resources, the ability to issue more bonded indebtedness, expand the lists of public projects and to assemble property for redevelopment. Under the limitations of the Constituent Project Plans, the Agency will not have the ability to - collect sufficient tax increment, issue bonds, undertake new projects, or acquire property through the use of eminent domain necessary to complete the eradication of blight within the Project Area. Thus, it is necessary for the Agency to pursue the Amendment/ Merger to enhance its ability to meet 10 SF/s:PCD:Ordinance:Mergredv 1116196-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 Project costs throughout the Project Area by merging the Constituent Projects. I. The Project Area is a predominantly urbanized area as defined in the Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is based upon the fact that all property in the Project Area has been or is developed for urban uses. M. The time limitation and the limitation on the number of dollars to be allocated to the Agency that are contained in the Redevelopment Plan are reasonably related to the proposed projects to be implemented in the Project Area and to the ability of the Agency to eliminate blight within the Project Area. An Implementation Program was developed in response to the conditions existing in the Constituent Project Areas, and is designed to alleviate these conditions and stimulate new investment. The Implementation Program seeks to complete redevelopment activities for each Constituent Project through a broad program which addresses neighborhood revitalization, commercial rehabilitation and new development, as well as business attraction. n. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities will be available within three (3) years from the time occupants of the Project Area are displaced, and pending the development of the facilities there will be available to displaced occupants adequate temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the community at the time of their displacement. SECTION 4. Subject to applicable law, taxes attributable to each Constituent Project Area merged pursuant to the Ordinance which are allocated to the Agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the Community Redevelopment Law, pursuant express action by the Agency, may be: a. Allocated by the Agency to the entire merged Project Area for the purpose of paying the principal of, and interest on, preexisting or future indebtedness incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the merged Redevelopment Project; - b. Allocated by the Agency expressly to any one or more Constituent Projects. 11 SF/s:PGD:Ordinance:Mergredv 1116/96-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 Merger of the Constituent Projects itself is not deemed to be a cross-pledge of tax increment among the Constituent Projects without specific future express action by the Agency. SECTION 6. All written and oral objections to the Redevelopment Plan fled with and presented to the City Council and all written responses thereto, have been considered by the City Council at the time and in the manner required by law, and such written and oral objections are hereby overruled. SECTION 6. In order to implement and facilitate the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan hereby approved, this City Council hereby declares its intention to undertake and complete any proceeding necessary to be carried out by the City of Huntington Beach under the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan . SECTION 7. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this Ordinance to the Agency, whereupon the Agency is vested with the responsibility for carrying out the Redevelopment Plan . SECTION 8. The City Clerk is hereby directed to record with the County Recorder of Orange County a description of the land within the Project Area and a statement that proceedings for the continued redevelopment of the Project Area have been instituted under the Community Redevelopment Law. SECTION 9. The Department of Building and Safety of the City of Huntington Beach is hereby directed for a period of two (2) years after the effective date of this Ordinance to advise all applicants for building permits within the Project Area that the site for which a building permit is sought for the construction of buildings or for other improvements is within a redevelopment project area. SECTION 10. The City Clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of the description and statement recorded by the City Clerk pursuant to Section 8 of this Ordinance, a copy of this Ordinance, and a map or plat indicating the boundaries of the Project Area, to the Auditor and Tax Assessor of Huntington Beach County, to the governing body of each of the taxing agencies which levies taxes upon any property in the Project area, and to the State Board of Equalization. SECTION 11. If any part of this Ordinance or the Redevelopment Plan which it approves is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Redevelopment Plan , and this Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of the Ordinance or approved the remainder of the Redevelopment Plan if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted. 12 SFIs:PCD:ordinancemergredv 1116196-#2 RLS 96-781 3343 SECTION 12. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption.
