A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF
THE CITY OF AZUSA FINDING THAT A SUBSTANTIAL
EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO MEET THE NEED FOR LOW
AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING IN THE MERGED
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND WEST END
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa
("Agency") adopted the Central Business District Redevelopment
Plan in 1978; the West End Redevelopment Plan in 1983; and merged
both Redevelopment Plans in 1988 subsequent to the enactment by
the Legislature of the provisions of Section 33334.2 of the
Health and Safety Code; and
WHEREAS, the Tax Increment revenues which are derived to the
Agency from said merged project area are subject to the
provisions of the California Health and Safety Code Section
33334.2 for low and moderate income housing purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has received and considered a staff
report dated July 2, 1990 regarding projected Tax Increment
revenues from the Merged Project Area for fiscal 1990-91 and the
low and moderate housing set aside requirement for said Tax
Increment revenues, which is attached hereto as "Exhibit All and
incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the above referenced staff report demonstrates that
a substantial effort is currently being made by the City and the
Agency to meet the need for low and moderate housing in the City
of Azusa and that such effort is intended to continue through
1990-91; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has adopted separate resolutions for
each of the merged project areas, making findings that the
provision of low and moderate income housing outside the project
areas would be of benefit to said project areas; and
WHEREAS, assisted with the Federal Community Development
Block Grant program, the Agency will spend $48,000 during 1990-91
for the Handyman program, which will benefit low and moderate
income households throughout the City of Azusa; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has used $7,240 of the $48,000 to be
spent for the Handyman Program in 1990-91 to offset tax increment
funds from the Ranch Center Project that must be used for low and
moderate income housing, leaving a balance of $40,760 spent on
the Handyman Program that may be used to offset a portion of the
tax increment monies from the merged project area that must be
spent to satisfy the low and moderate income housing provisions
of Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Azusa does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa
finds, determines and declares that:
0 0
A. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa and the
City of Azusa are making substantial efforts to meet low and
moderate income housing needs in the community, and that this
effort, including the obligation of funds currently available for
the benefit of the community from state, local and federal
sources for low and moderate income housing is sufficient to
partially offset, in the amount of $40,760, the funds otherwise
required to be set aside pursuant to California Health and Safety
Code Section 33334.2.
B. Due to the large pool of already -housed unemployed and
underemployed workers in the area, the increased housing needs
that can reasonably be foreseen for low and moderate income
households because of additional employment opportunities
resulting from implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will be
minimal and can be satisfied by already existing Agency and City
programs.
Section 2. No very low, low or moderate income households
are expected to be displaced from within or adjacent to the
merged project area in 1990-91 due to redevelopment activities.
Section 3. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the
Agency from using taxes set aside pursuant to the Community
Redevelopment Law, or otherwise, for meeting the low and moderate
income housing needs of the City of Azusa.
Section 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 2nd day of July, 1990.
