The board of supervisors hereby finds and declares as follows:

A.

Certain portions of the city of Azusa ("city") are physically and economically related to adjoining portions of the unincorporated territory of the county of Los Angeles ("county").

B.

The city and the Azusa Redevelopment Agency ("agency") have proposed to consider the adoption of an amendment to the Redevelopment Plans for the Merged Central Business District and West End Redevelopment Projects ("redevelopment plans"), which will authorize the redevelopment of property which is partially in the territorial boundaries of the city and partially in the unincorporated areas of the county.

C.

Participation in the redevelopment efforts of the agency with regard to the adjoining property in the county's unincorporated territory may be of benefit to both the county and city.

D.

The county and the city have the authority under the California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) to allow the agency to exercise redevelopment powers in unincorporated county areas adjoining the city with the consent and approval of the county.

E.

The city, as a general law city, has established certain procedures for the consideration and possible approval of redevelopment plans for territory of the city adjoining that of the county.

(Ord. 2001-0006 § 1 (part), 2001.)

The county's unincorporated territory which may be subject to the redevelopment powers to be exercised by the agency shall be those three parcels located on the northeast corner of Arrow Highway and Azusa Avenue and identified by Assessor's Parcel Numbers 8621-024-001, 8621-024-002, and 8521-024-017 (hereinafter the "county territory").

Upon the effective date of the ordinance codified in Part 10 of this chapter, the county does hereby approve and authorize the agency to undertake and administer the preparation and approval of the redevelopment plan for the county territory and adjoining city territory.

B.

Except as conditioned in this section and except as provided in Section 2.60.590, upon the effective date of the ordinance codified in Part 10 of this chapter, the county of Los Angeles does and will continue to authorize the agency to undertake and administer redevelopment of the county territory in all respects authorized under the redevelopment plan to the extent not inconsistent with the California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.).

C.

The county authorization under this section shall be conditioned upon the approval by ordinance by the board of supervisors, of the redevelopment plan as adopted by the agency and city.

D.

The county does hereby authorize and does bind itself to continually authorize the agency to receive a specific statutorily computed allocation of tax increment revenues from the properties within the county territory; provided, however, that the redevelopment plan or any amendment thereto contains the requisite provision for capturing tax increment revenues pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670.

(Ord. 2001-0006 § 1 (part), 2001.)

The county hereby retains the following rights which shall not be subject to control of the agency or city:

A.

The county shall maintain its general plan and zoning designations of the county territory to be conforming with the proposed redevelopment plan.

B.

The county shall maintain authority and control over the development of any real property owned or leased by the county within the area covered by the redevelopment plan, which authority and control shall not be subject to the approval or control of the agency, except with the written consent of the board of supervisors.

C.

The county shall accept and retain the responsibility for the provision of all municipal services including police and fire protection, enforcement of building, fire, zoning, review of plans, issuance of all permits, and property inspection.

(Ord. 2001-0006 § 1 (part), 2001.)
