Section 33492.83 Of Article 5. March Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 24. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4.5. >> Article 5.
33492.83
. (a) This subdivision, for purposes of this article,
describes physical conditions that cause blight.
(1) Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy for persons to
live or work. These conditions can be caused by serious building code
violations, dilapidation and deterioration, defective design or
physical construction, faulty or inadequate infrastructure, or other
similar factors.
(2) Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically
viable reuse or capacity of buildings or areas. This condition can be
caused by a substandard design; buildings that are too large or too
small given present standards and market conditions; and age,
obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, or other physical
conditions that could prevent the highest and best uses of the
property. This condition can also be caused by buildings that will
have to be demolished or buildings or areas that have a lack of
parking.
(3) Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other
and that prevent the economic development of those parcels or other
portions of the project area.
(4) Buildings on land that, when subdivided or when infrastructure
is installed, will not comply with normal subdivision, zoning, or
planning regulations.
(b) This subdivision, for purposes of this article, describes
economic conditions that cause blight:
(1) Land that contains materials or facilities, including, but not
necessarily limited to, materials for airport runways that will have
to be removed to allow development.
(2) Properties that contain hazardous wastes that may benefit from
the use of agency authority as specified in Article 12.5 (commencing
with Section 33459) of Chapter 4 in order to be developed by either
the private or public sector or in order to comply with applicable
federal or state standards. Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the March Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency is specifically
prohibited from accepting responsibility for, or using agency
authority on behalf of, hazardous waste sites that are the
responsibility of the federal government.
(c) Pursuant to Section 33321, a project area need not be
restricted to buildings, improvements, or lands which are not
detrimental or inimical to the public health, safety, or welfare, but
may consist of an area in which these conditions predominate and
injuriously affect the entire area. A project area may include lands,
buildings, or improvements which are not detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, but whose inclusion is found necessary
for the effective redevelopment of the area of which they are a part.
Each area included under this section shall be necessary for
effective redevelopment and shall not be included for the purpose of
obtaining the allocation of tax-increment revenue from the area
pursuant to Section 33670 without other substantial justification for
its inclusion.
