SB 93 — Redevelopment: payment for land or buildings.

Summary

(1) The Community Redevelopment Law authorizes a redevelopment agency, with the consent of the legislative body, to pay all or a part of the value of the land for, and the cost of the installation and construction of, any building, facility, structure, or other improvement that is publicly owned either within or without the project area if the legislative body makes specified determinations. These determinations by the agency and the local legislative body are final and conclusive. Existing law requires the agency, with respect to the financing, acquisition, or construction of a transportation, collection, and distribution system and related peripheral parking facilities, in a county with a population of 4 million persons or more, to enter into an agreement with the rapid transit district that includes the county, or a portion thereof, under which the rapid transit district is required to be given specified responsibilities. This bill would instead authorize a redevelopment agency, with the consent of the legislative body, to pay all or a part of the value of the land for, and the cost of the installation and construction of, any building, facility, structure, or other improvement that is publicly owned and is located inside or contiguous to, as defined, the project area if the legislative body makes specified determinations. The bill would delete the requirement that the agency, with respect to the financing, acquisition, or construction of a transportation, collection, and distribution system and related peripheral parking facilities, in a county with a population of 4 million persons or more, enter into an agreement with the rapid transit district that includes the county, or a portion thereof, under which the rapid transit district is required to be given specified responsibilities. The bill would authorize an agency to pay for all or part of the value of the land for, and the cost of the installation and construction of, any building, facility, structure, or other improvement that is publicly owned and is partially located in the project area, but extends beyond the project area's boundaries, if the legislative body makes specified determinations. The bill would also authorize an agency, with the consent of the legislative body, to pay all or a part of the value of the land for, and the cost of the installation and construction of, any building, facility, structure, or other improvement that is publicly owned and is located outside and not contiguous to the project area, but is located within the community, if the legislative body makes specified findings based on substantial evidence in the record. The bill would require an action to challenge these findings to be filed and served within 60 days after the date of the resolution containing the findings. The bill would prohibit an agency from paying for the normal maintenance or operations of buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements that are publicly owned. These provisions would not apply if the financing, construction, or installation of the land, buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements is an obligation of the agency under a contract existing on December 31, 2009, is specifically described in the implementation plan prepared by the agency as of July 1, 2009, pursuant to Section 33490, or is specifically provided for in the redevelopment plan as of December 31, 2009. The bill would also prohibit the agency and legislative body from authorizing or approving the settlement of specified judicial actions that contest the validity of the adoption or amendment of a redevelopment plan if the settlement requires the expenditure of funds outside the project area unless the agency and the legislative body have first held a public hearing on the proposed settlement, as specified. The bill would provide specified notice requirements and procedures for the public hearing, and require that copies of the proposed settlement be made available for public inspection and copying not later than the first date of publication of the public notice. (2) Existing law requires the legislative body to hold a public hearing before an agency commits to use the portion of taxes allocated to the agency for the payment of the principal of, and interest on, loans, moneys advanced to, or indebtedness incurred by the agency to finance, or refinance, the redevelopment project to instead pay all or part of the value of the land for, and the cost of the installation and construction of, any publicly owned building, other than parking facilities. Existing law also requires a summary to be available for public inspection and copying, at a cost not to exceed the cost of duplication, and the summary to include specified information. This bill would add to the specified information required to be included in the summary the facts supporting the findings required to be made by the legislative body in order for an agency to be authorized to pay all or a part of the value of the land for, and the cost of the installation and construction of, any building, facility, structure, or other improvement that is publicly owned and is located outside, and not contiguous to, the project area, but is located within the community.
