NOW, THEREFOR, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors does ordain as follows:

The overriding objective of the Redevelopment Plan is to continue efforts at eliminating or alleviating conditions of blight by providing needed public improvements, assistance, for the development and rehabilitation of existing properties, the provision of low- and moderate-income housing and other activities authorized by the CRL. In doing such, the Agency intends to mitigate the effects of inadequate or obsolete design, irregularly shaped and inadequately sized lots, declining property values, and economic maladjustment in the Existing Project Area and Amendment Area. In eliminating these blighting conditions, this Redevelopment Plan will facilitate development as contemplated in the Riverside County Comprehensive General Plan.

The extension of time limits in the Existing Project Area for the effectiveness of the plans, for incurring debt, for collecting tax increment, and for commencing eminent domain proceeding will allow the Agency to continue the redevelopment activities that it has actively pursued since the adoption of the Existing Project Area in 1986.

The selection of the Amendment Area was generally based upon a desire to eliminate the conditions of blight caused by a number of different physical and economic factors in the Amendment Area. The following objectives are intended to achieve the redevelopment Plan's overall goals for the Amendment Area.

1. To eliminate blighting conditions and to prevent the acceleration of blight in and

about the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area.

2. To effect the comprehensive planning, redesign, replanning, reconstruction and/or rehabilitation of the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area in such a manner as to facilitate a higher and better utilization of the land within the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area for uses in accordance with the Riverside County Comprehensive General Plan.

1. To provide for adequate parcels and required public improvements to encourage new construction by private enterprise.
2. To promote the rehabilitation of deteriorated residential units, and where deterioration makes rehabilitation infeasible, to demolish and replace such dwellings on a one for one basis.

1. Encourage development according to the Riverside County Comprehensive General

Plan.

2. Promote comprehensive planning, redesign, replanning, reconstruction and/or rehabilitation in such a manner as to achieve a higher and better utilization of the land within the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area by the private sector.

9. Protest the health and general welfare of the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area’s many low- and moderate-income residents by utilizing 20% of the tax increment revenus from the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area to improve and preserve the supply of low- and moderate-income housing, including senior housing, both inside and outside the Homeland/Green Acres Project Area.
10. Upgrade the physical appearance of the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area.
11. Rehabilitate deteriorated residential and non-residential structures to eliminate safety deficiencies and to extend the useful lives of these structures.

20. Provide relocation assistance to displacees in order to mitigate possible hardships due to relocation activities.
21. Provide a board range of public service infrastructure improvement to induce private investment and improve emergency response in the Homeland/ Green Acres Project Area.

The Board of Supervisors hereby finds and determines that:

1. The Existing Project Area continues to be a blighted area pursuant to the Community

Redevelopment Law. The Amendment Area is a blighted area pursuant to Section

33030 of the Community Redevelopment Law. These findings are based in part on

the research and facts contained in the Report to Board of Supervisors.

2. The Amendment Area is a predominately-urbanized area. As demonstrated in part by the Agency's Report to Board of Supervisors, not less than eighty percent (80%) of the property in Amendment Area is urbanized.
3. The Redevelopment Plan will assist in continuing Agency efforts to redevelop the Existing Project Area in conformity with the Community Redevelopment Law and in the interests of the public health, safety and welfare, and the Redevelopment Plan will assist in new Agency efforts to redevelop the Amendment Area in conformity with the Community Redevelopment Law and interests of the public health, safety and welfare. This finding is based in part upon the fact that redevelopment of Project Area will implement the objective of the Community Redevelopment Law by aiding in the elimination and correction of the conditions of blight, providing for planning, development, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or rehabilitation of properties which need improvement, and providing for higher economic utilization of potentially useful land.
4. The adoption and carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan is economically sound and feasible. This finding is based in part on the fact that under the Redevelopment Plan no public redevelopment activity will be undertaken unless the Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; the Agency's Report to Board of Supervisors further discusses and demonstrates the economic soundness and feasibility of the Redevelopment Plan and undertakings pursuant thereto.
5. The Redevelopment Plan conforms to the Comprehensive General Plan of the County of Riverside, including, but not limited to, the Housing Element thereof. This finding is based in part on the finding of the Planing Commission of the County of Riverside that the Redevelopment Plan conforms to the Comprehensive General Plan of the County of Riverside.
6. The carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan will promote the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the County of Riverside and will effectuate the purposes and policies of the Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is based on the fact that redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the community by correcting 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 Amendment Area and the community.
7. The condemnation of real property to the extent provided for in the Redevelopment Plan is necessary to the execution of the Redevelopment Plan, and adequate provisions have been made for payment for property to be acquired by law. This finding is based in part upon the need to assemble sites for development which will result in new economic activity in the Project Area and to prevent the recurrence of blight.
8. The Agency has a feasible method for the relocation of families and persons displaced from the Project Area. The Board of Supervisors and the Agency recognize that the provisions of sections 7260 to 7276 of California Government Code would be applicable to any relocation that would occur due to the implementation by the Angel of the Redevelopment Plan. The Board of Supervisors finds and determines that the provision of relocation assistance according to law constitutes a feasible method for relocation.
9. There shall be provided, within the Project Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of any families and persons who might be displaced from the Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to the displaced families and persons, and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. Families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation plan pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 33411 and 33411.11. Dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income shall not be removed or destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 33334.5, 33413, and 33413.5. This finding is based upon the Rules, Regulations and Policies for Relocation Assistance and Grievance Procedures for the Redevelopment Agency for the County of Riverside, which was adopted by reference as the relocation method for Amendment Area pursuant to Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. RDA 98-20, and the Housing Element of the Comprehensive General Plan.
10. The elimination of blight and the redevelopment of the Amendment Area would not reasonably be expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without the aid and assistance of the Agency. This finding is based in part upon the continued existence of blighting influences including, without limitation, the demonstrated lack of private sector interest in redeveloping properties in Amendment Area, structural deficiencies and other indications of blight more fully enumerated in the Agency's Report to Board of Supervisors, and the infeasibility due to cost of requiring individuals (by means of assessments or otherwise) to eradicate or significantly alleviate existing deficiencies in properties and facilities and the inability and inadequacy of other governmental programs and financing mechanisms to eliminate the blighting conditions.

11. (k) The elimination of blight and the redevelopment of the Amendment Area, and the

continuing elimination of blight in the Existing Project Area, would not reasonably

be expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without the aid and

assistance of the Agency. This finding is based in part upon the existence of

blighting influences in the Amendment Area and the on-going existence of blight in

the Existing Project Area, including, without limitation, the demonstrated lack of

private sector interest in redeveloping properties in the Project Area, structural

deficiencies and other indications of blight more fully enumerated in the Agency's

Report to Council, and the infeasibility due to cost of requiring individuals (by

means of assessments or otherwise) to eradicate or significantly alleviate existing

deficiencies in properties and facilities and the inability and inadequacy of other

governmental programs and financing mechanisms to eliminate the blighting

conditions.

(l) The Redevelopment Plan, as amended, contains adequate safeguards so that the work

12. of redevelopment will be carried out pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and it
13. provides for the retention of controls and the establishment of restrictions and
14. covenants running with the land sold or leased for private use for periods of time and
15. under conditions specified in the Redevelopment Plan, which the Board of
16. Supervisors deems necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Community
17. Redevelopment Law.

1. The time limitations and financial limitations established for the Amendment Area are reasonably related to the projects proposed in the Redevelopment Plan and to the ability of the Agency to eliminate blight within the Project Area.

The Board of Supervisors is satisfied that permanent housing facilities will be available within three (3) years from the time occupants of the Amendment 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 County of Riverside at the time of their displacement.

The Board of Supervisors has considered written objections, if any to the Redevelopment Plan and all evidence and testimony for and against the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan. All written objections, if any, have been overruled.

That certain document entitled "Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project Area No. 3-1986, Amendment No. 1, Homeland/ Green Acres Sub- Area", the maps contained therein and such other reports as are incorporated therein by reference, a copy of which is on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board of the County of Riverside, having been duly reviewed and considered, is hereby incorporated in this Ordinance by reference and made a part hereof.

The Building Department of the County of Riverside is hereby directed for a period of two (2) years after the effective date of this Ordinance to advise all applicants for building permits within the Amendment Area that the site for which a building permit is sought for the construction of buildings or for other improvements is within a redevelopment project area.

This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of final passage.

If any part of this Ordinance or the Redevelopment Plan which it approves is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Redevelopment Plan, or the Redevelopment Plane as it existed prior to adoption of this Ordinance, and the Board of Supervisors hereby declares it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance or approved the remainder of the Redevelopment Plan if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted.
