02-06-1996 - Joint Public Hearing - Plan Amendment #21 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY: BACKGROUND 0 Council and City Manager Agency Staff City of West Covina Memorandum AGENDA ITEM NO. A-1 DATE February 6, 1996 (9 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER PUBLIC HEARING - PLAN AMENDMENT NO.2 to Agency Agenda Item No. It) ;mitted for Redevelopment Agency and City Council consideration are two rations which approve the Negative Declaration for Plan Amendment No. 2. transmitted for City Council approval is an ordinance approving the plan .dment: These documents have been previously transmitted in draft or mrized form to the Redevelopment Agency Board, affected taxing -ies and other interested public entities. Following public testimony, the ;dure is as follows: 1) consideration by Agency Board and City Council of utions approving the Negative Declaration, and 2) consideration by City icil of ordinance which approves Plan Amendment No. 2 On September 5, 1995, the Agency Board directed staff to begin the redevelopment plan amendment process to remove a 217acre parcel from the boundaries of the West Covina Redevelopment Project. The parcel is located at 1200 E. San Bernardino Road and was formerly owned by Hughes Training, Inc. The parcel was added to the redevelopment project area in December 1993 when the City Council merged the Central Business District and Eastland Redevelopment Projects and approved the addition of 64 acres of territory (the "1993 Amendment Area") to the newly formed West Covina Redevelopment Project. At that time, the parcel had been vacated by Hughes. In December 1994, Faith Community Church purchased the site for the development of church facilities and requested that the property be removed from. the Redevelopment Project area. The parcel's tax-exempt status adversely affects tax -increment receipts from the Project area. Without the removal of the parcel (the "Detachment Area"), the'A ,ency would not see any tax increment flow from the 1993 Amendment Area for ten to fifteer , -aars. Removing the Detachment Area from the boundaries of the Redevelopment Pioject would improve gross Agency revenue by up to $7.8 million over the lifetime of the Agency's authority to collect tax increment from the 1993 Amendment Area. DISCUSSION I . Plan Amendment No.l2 makes three changes to the Redevelopment Plan for the West Covina Redevelopment Project, which was approved by the City Council in December 1993: 1) various definitions have been revised or added to accommodate changed terminology in the plan resulting from the removal of the 21-acre site and the addition of time limits adopted in 1994; 2) time limits adopted by City Council in 1994 pursuant- to changes in redevelopment law were added to Sections 540 and 610Iof the amended redevelopment plan; and 3) legal description for the 1993 Amendment Area in Appendix B was reviewed to delete the 21-acre parcel. The Plan Amendment does not significantly alter the analysis presented in the Report to City Council, written in December 1993. The Housing and Redevelopment Implementation Plan for the Project Area, which was adopted on December 6, 1994 by the Agency Board, would not be altered, nor would the five-year program of actions documented in the Implementation Plan. Estimated Project Costs will not change because the scope of public improvements, business assistance and housing, and other programs, will not change as a result of Amendment No., 2. .Financial feasibility, in fact, will. be enhanced as potential revenues from the 1993 Amendment Area will increase by up to $7.8 million, because the base over which tax increment receipts will be calculated will fall from $43.3 million to $25.3 million. City Council and City Manager February 6, 1996 Page 2 The Plan Amendment will not affect existing pass -through agreements with county taxing agencies or the school districts. All affected taxing agencies were invited to a briefing and consultation meeting with Agency staff on December 19, 1995. Representatives of the County of Los Angeles, Covina Valley School District and the Engineering Department of the City of West Covina were present. No objections or concerns regarding the Plan Amendment were expressed. r Plan Amendment Process Given the nature of this amendment - removal rather than addition of territory to the project area - an expedited amendment process was followed. The process involved a series of actions by the Agency Board, City Council, other governmental entities and members of the community, as described below. DATE ACTION September 5, 1995 Agency Board directed staff to commence plan amendment process for Amendment No. 2 to remove the former Hughes site from the project area. September 27, 1995 Agency staff met with Project Area Committee (PAC) on the proposed Amendment No. 2. October 19, 1995 All taxing agencies and State Board of Equalization notified that a plan amendment is being prepared. November 21, 1995 Agency Board transmitted Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 2 to the Planning Commission. November 28, 1995 Planning Commission recir•nmended its approval of Amendment No. 2 and finds the amen...ment to be in conformity with the General Plan. December 5, 1995 December 8, 1995 December 19, 1995 Agency "oard and City Council consented to a joint public hearing on the ,an Amendment and associated Negative Declaration. Agency staff presented draft Plan Amendment No. 2 to the PAC; PAC voted 5-0 in favor of recommending approval of the Plan Amendment to the City Council. Notice of joint public hearing on the Plan Amendment was sent 30 days prior to the joint public hearing to the last known assessee of each parcel, all known residents and businesses within the project area, and all taxing agencies. Agency staff held consultation meeting with affected taxing agencies. No objections to the project or comments are made. Report of the County Fiscal Officer due from the Los Angeles County Auditor -Controller (but not yet received). The report gives the County Auditor -Controller's base year assessed values and tax increment receipts. GRC Redevelopment Consultants has provided its own analysis in the Report to the City.Council.. The Agency Board and Council may proceed if the County Auditor -Controller fails to produce its report on time. a t.

SECTION 2: The City Council hereby finds and determines, based on the evidence in the record, including, but not limited to, the Agency's Report to City Ccnmcil on the proposed Amendment No. 2, and all documents referenced therein: a) Amendment No. 2 will allow continued redevelopment to occur within the Remaining Project Area in conformity wit,1 the Community Redevelopment Law and in the interests of the public health, sa.;iy and welfare. This finding is based in part upon the fact that Amendment No. 2 merely removes the Deletion Area from the boundaries of the Project Area, and thus allows the Agency to undertake needed redevelopment activity in the Remaining Project Area. b) The adoption and carrying out of Amendment No. 2 is economically sound and feasible. This finding is based in part on the fact that with the passage of Amendment No. 2, the Agency will engage in activities within the financial capability of the Agency based upon the revenues that will be available to the Agency and will pursue those activities which are consistent with revenues realized after the removal of the Deletion Area. This Ifinding is further based upon the fact that upon removal ' of the Deletion Area, the Base Year Roll values established for the Added Territory and .utilized to calculate the division of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 of the CRL are revised to reflect such deletion. Furthermore, this finding is based upon the fact that the Agency's Report to City Council further discusses and demonstrates the economic soundness and feasibility of the Redevelopment Plan and undertakings pursuant thereto, even with the Deletion Area removed. c) The Amendment No. 2 conforms to the General Plan of the City of West Covina including, but not limited to, the Housing Element thereof, which substantially 2 complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code. This finding is based in part on the finding of the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina that the Redevelopment Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of West Covina. d) The carrying out of the Amendment No. 2 will promote the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City of West Covina and will effectuate the purposes and policy of the Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is based on the fact that redevelopment will benefit the Remaining Project Area and the community by allowing. the Agency to correct continuing conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate development, contribute toward needed public improvements and improve the economic, and physical conditions of the Remaining Project Area and the community. SECTION 3: The City Council continues to be satisfied that in the event occupants of the remaining Project Area are displaced, permanent housing facilities will be available within three (3) years from the time occupants of the Remaining Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such permanent facilities, there will be available to any such displaced occupants temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City of West Covina at the time of their displacement.
