WHEREAS, pursuant to CRL Section 33333.6(e)(2), the aforementioned Debt

WHEREAS, the Agency desires to eliminate its Debt Incurrence Deadlines in
accordance with CRL Section 33333.6 and recommends that the City Council of the City adopt an
ordinance eliminating the Debt Incurrence Deadlines currently set forth in the Amended and Restated
Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Project Area in accordance with CRL Section 33333.6; and
WHEREAS, Agency staff has determined that elimination of the Debt Incurrence
Deadlines as authorized by CRL Section 33333.6 is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b),
because such elimination constitutes the creation of a funding mechanism or other governmental
fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a
potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Governing Board of the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa as follows:
Section 1. The Governing Board of the Agency hereby recommends that the City
Council of the City adopt an ordinance eliminating the Debt Incurrence Deadlines currently set forth
in the Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Project Area in accordance with
CRL Section 33333.6.
