Los Angeles County Municipal Code Part 9 Cooperative Redevelopment Efforts

The board of supervisors hereby finds and declares as follows:

A.

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

B.

The city and the Pasadena Community Development Commission ("commission") have proposed to consider the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the Halstead/Sycamore Redevelopment Project ("redevelopment plan"), 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 commission with regard to the adjoining property in the county's unincorporated territory will 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 §§ 33000 et seq.) to allow the commission to exercise redevelopment powers in unincorporated county areas adjoining the city with the consent and approval of the county.

E.

The city, as a charter city, has adopted its Ordinance No. 6525, establishing certain procedures for the consideration and possible approval of redevelopment plans for territory of the city adjoining that of the county.

(Ord. 93-0058 § 1 (part), 1993.)

The county's unincorporated territory which may be subject to the redevelopment powers to be exercised by the commission shall be those properties identified as those seven parcels bordered by the city of Pasadena city boundary on the west, Colorado Boulevard on the south, Sycamore Avenue on the east, and Walnut Street on the north (hereinafter the "county territory").

(Ord. 93-0058 § 1 (part), 1993.)

A.

Upon the effective date of the ordinance codified in Part 9 of this chapter, the county does hereby approve and authorize the commission 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 2.60.530, upon the effective date of the ordinance codified in Part 9 of this chapter, the county of Los Angeles does and will continue to authorize the commission to undertake and administer redevelopment of the county territory in all respects authorized under the redevelopment plan to the extent not inconsistent with the Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code §§ 33000 et seq.).

C.

The county authorization under this section shall be conditioned upon the following:

The approval by the board of supervisors of the redevelopment plan as adopted by the commission and city; and,

The execution of an agreement between the county and the commission, whereby the county and commission reflect the contribution of each of them in the redevelopment process and to mitigate certain effects of redeveloping the area covered by the redevelopment plan through the distribution of revenues which may be received by the commission.

D.

The county does hereby authorize and does bind itself to continually authorize the commission 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 § 33670; and further provided that the commission executes an agreement authorized under Health and Safety Code § 33401 or other relevant statutes to alleviate the financial burden and detriment caused to the county or any of the taxing entities governed by the board of supervisors.

(Ord. 93-0058 § 1 (part), 1993.)

The county hereby retains the following rights which shall not be subject to control of the commission 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 commission, 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. 93-0058 § 1 (part), 1993.)
