Article 1.5. Norton Air Force Base And George Air Force Base Redevelopment Project Areas of California Health And Safety Code >> Division 24. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4.5. >> Article 1.5.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 33320.1, the requirement that
privately owned land within a project area be "predominantly
urbanized," as that term is defined in subdivision (b) of Section
33320.1, shall not apply to privately owned land within a project
area, if the privately owned land is adjacent or in proximity to a
military facility or installation that is proposed to be closed
pursuant to Public Law 100-526 and the inclusion of the privately
owned land is found by an entity formed pursuant to subdivision (b)
to be necessary for the effective redevelopment of the military
facility or installation and the adjacent area.
(b) The legislative bodies for communities having territory within, adjacent to, or in proximity to a military facility or installation described in subdivision (a) may create a separate joint powers agency pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, which shall have and exclusively exercise powers of an agency in furtherance of the redevelopment of a project area approved by the joint powers agency. The joint powers agency so formed shall include as one of its members the county in which the project area is located. In addition to the powers of an agency, the joint powers agency so formed shall also act as the legislative body and planning commission for all approvals and actions required by this part of legislative bodies and planning commissions for the adoption and implementation of a redevelopment plan. However, all land use, planning, and development decisions with regard to the land within the project area shall continue to be under the control and jurisdiction of each of the respective local legislative bodies or planning commissions, as applicable.
(c) The territory included within the project and project area may be contiguous or noncontiguous, and any project area may be located in whole or in part within one or more of the communities impacted by the closure of the military facility or installation, and the land to be included within the project area within the community or communities in proximity to the military facility or installation shall be found necessary for the effective redevelopment of the military facility or installation and the adjacent area. A project area shall not include territory outside the jurisdiction of the communities that are parties to the joint powers agency without the consent of the legislative body having jurisdiction over the territory proposed to be included within the project area.
(d) A redevelopment plan for the project area shall contain all of the provisions required by this part. However, if the agency finds, based on substantial evidence on the record, that compliance with the requirements of Sections 33333.2 and 33334.1 would make it impracticable to achieve the policies of this section, the agency may eliminate or modify the requirements of Sections 33333.2 and 33334.1.
(e) The redevelopment plan shall provide for either of the following:
(1) A Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund, as required by Section 33334.2.
(2) A deferral for depositing all or part of the 20 percent of taxes allocated to the agency pursuant to Section 33670 in the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund if the agency, after conducting a noticed public hearing, makes, and the executive committee of the Southern California Association of Governments reviews and approves, findings supported by substantial evidence that all of the following apply:
(A) The military facility or installation cannot be acquired or developed by private enterprise without the assistance of the agency.
(B) There are no feasible alternative means of financing the acquisition or development of the military facility or installation other than by utilizing the low- and moderate-income housing portion of the taxes that are allocated to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670.
(C) Failure of the agency to finance the acquisition or development of the military facility or installation would lead to serious economic hardship and job loss.
(D) The redevelopment plan shall specify the period during which less than 20 percent of the taxes that are allocated to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670, is to be deposited in the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund. The redevelopment plan shall also contain a repayment plan which specifies a date at which time the agency will have made up the deficit created by the deferral, including repayment of the interest at the highest rate received by the agency on funds it deposits during the period of deferral. The repayment plan shall reduce the deficit in the shortest feasible time consistent with the needs of the agency, as specified in the agency's findings.
(f) The joint powers agency acting as the agency, the legislative body or the planning commission, shall follow all procedures under this part applicable to the adoption and amendment of redevelopment plans, except with respect to Section 33347.5, Sections 33353 to 33353.6, inclusive, Sections 33354.4 to 33354.6, inclusive, and Section 33385.
(g) The agency shall create a fiscal advisory group to consult with each affected taxing agency and to advise and report to the agency in the manner required of a fiscal review committee by Section 33353.5 on any potential fiscal impact upon affected taxing agencies within the project area. The fiscal advisory group shall consist of the financial officer or treasurer of each city and each county that created the joint powers authority.
(h) The agency shall prepare and distribute to each affected taxing agency a report that includes the information required by Section 33328. The agency shall also prepare an analysis of the report required of a fiscal review committee pursuant to subdivision (m) of Section 33352 and an analysis of the report required of the fiscal advisory group pursuant to subdivision (g).
(i) As used in this section, "in proximity to" means within three miles of the boundary of Norton Air Force Base and within eight miles of George Air Force Base.
(j) The Legislature finds and declares that the closure of two or more military facilities or installations within the County of San Bernardino will cause serious economic hardship in that county, including loss of jobs, increased unemployment, deterioration of properties and land utilization and undue disruption of the lives and activities of the people. Therefore, the Legislature finds and declares that to avoid serious economic hardship and accompanying blight, it is necessary to enact this act which shall apply only within the County of San Bernardino. In enacting this act, it is the policy of the Legislature to assist communities within the County of San Bernardino in their attempt to preserve the military facilities and installations for their continued use as airports and aviation-related purposes. It is the intent of the Legislature and the commitment of the local authorities to ensure that the existing airfields at both Norton Air Force Base and George Air Force Base are protected, developed, and enhanced as civil aviation public use airports. Therefore, the joint powers authorities authorized by this section should make every reasonable effort to guarantee that these vital airport facilities are retained for general aviation use now and into the future.
(k) Any joint powers agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall provide that the financial needs of each of the parties shall be considered prior to adoption of a redevelopment plan, and may provide that the number of years shall be limited during which bonded indebtedness may be paid using taxes that are allocated to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670.
(1) A joint powers agency operating within the area of Norton Air Force Base shall appoint a project area citizens committee for the purpose of consultation and advice regarding policy matters that relate to planning and programs affecting the residents, businesses, and educational institutions within the project area, implementation of the redevelopment plan, and the development and implementation of amendments to the redevelopment plan.
(2) The committee shall be comprised of residential owners, residential tenants, business owners, small business owners, business tenants, educational institution representatives, and community groups currently operating, living, or working within the project area. The membership of the Project Area Citizens Committee shall be appointed by the legislative body of the agency and shall be representative, both racially and ethnically, of the people who live and work within the project area.
(3) For the purposes described above, the committee shall meet at least once quarterly or more often to review policy matters and implementation issues as determined necessary by the legislative body.
(l) Amendments to any redevelopment plans adopted pursuant to this section shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Section 33452, provided that notice of the public hearing for any amendment adopted pursuant to Article 12 (commencing with Section 33450) of Chapter 4, is published pursuant to Section 6063 of the Government Code and mailed by regular mail to the governing body of each of the taxing agencies that levies taxes upon any property in the project area designated in the redevelopment plan as proposed to be amended.
(b) The legislative bodies for communities having territory within, adjacent to, or in proximity to a military facility or installation described in subdivision (a) may create a separate joint powers agency pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, which shall have and exclusively exercise powers of an agency in furtherance of the redevelopment of a project area approved by the joint powers agency. The joint powers agency so formed shall include as one of its members the county in which the project area is located. In addition to the powers of an agency, the joint powers agency so formed shall also act as the legislative body and planning commission for all approvals and actions required by this part of legislative bodies and planning commissions for the adoption and implementation of a redevelopment plan. However, all land use, planning, and development decisions with regard to the land within the project area shall continue to be under the control and jurisdiction of each of the respective local legislative bodies or planning commissions, as applicable.
(c) The territory included within the project and project area may be contiguous or noncontiguous, and any project area may be located in whole or in part within one or more of the communities impacted by the closure of the military facility or installation, and the land to be included within the project area within the community or communities in proximity to the military facility or installation shall be found necessary for the effective redevelopment of the military facility or installation and the adjacent area. A project area shall not include territory outside the jurisdiction of the communities that are parties to the joint powers agency without the consent of the legislative body having jurisdiction over the territory proposed to be included within the project area.
(d) A redevelopment plan for the project area shall contain all of the provisions required by this part. However, if the agency finds, based on substantial evidence on the record, that compliance with the requirements of Sections 33333.2 and 33334.1 would make it impracticable to achieve the policies of this section, the agency may eliminate or modify the requirements of Sections 33333.2 and 33334.1.
