PUBLIC HEARING:
The purpose of this report is to provide information to the Redevelopment Agency (Agency) Board to consider adoption of the Implementation Plan (Plan) for the Golden State, City Centre, West Olive and South San Fernando Redevelopment Project areas for Fiscal Years (FY) 2004-05 to 2008-09.
The Community Redevelopment Law Reform Act of 1993 (Assembly Bill 1290) required redevelopment agencies to adopt a Five-Year Implementation Plan by the end of 1994 and every five years thereafter, with a mid-term review between the second and third years. On December 19, 1999, the Agency adopted a new Plan for the Golden State, City Centre, West Olive and South San Fernando Redevelopment Project Areas for the years 2000 to 2004. A mid-term review was completed in 2002. As required by law, the Agency has prepared a Plan for FYs 2004-05 to 2008-09.
The overall purpose of the Plan is to draw a clear connection between the Agency's projects and the requirement under Redevelopment Law to eliminate blight and to achieve housing policies. The Plan monitors the progress of the Agency in carrying out the specific goals and objectives of the prescribed five-year period. The Plan also identifies the funding source for the proposed activities. However, the Plan is a planning tool rather than a budgetary or audit tool and any specific projects or programs mentioned will be presented to the Agency Board for subsequent consideration as appropriate.
The Plan contains information on the background of each project area and five-year objectives on how the Agency will address conditions of remaining blight and fulfill the long-term goals of the redevelopment plan. The Plan also describes the relationship of the five-year program to long-range goals. The Plan is composed of two fundamental components, a Commercial Redevelopment Component that addresses the general Agency programs, including capital improvements, economic and business development programs, and a Housing Component providing information about the Agency�s housing program including inclusionary housing and replacement housing obligations.
The FY 2004-05 to 2008-09 Plan establishes a nexus between Agency goals, objectives, programs and activities; and the purpose of redevelopment, which is to eliminate blight and provide affordable housing. It is not the intent of the Plan to restrict Agency activities to the goals, objectives, programs and expenditures outlined herein, since conditions, values, expectations, resources and the needs of the community may change over the course of the Plan.
The Agency is required to review and evaluate the Plan between the second and third year of the Plan�s five-year term. At this time, the Agency can revisit its goals and objectives and what projects will be undertaken in the remaining duration of the Plan. Furthermore, the Agency has the flexibility to undertake a comprehensive policy review and amend the Plan at any time in the future.
Recommendation:
Adoption of proposed resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK ADOPTING A FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE GOLDEN STATE, CITY CENTRE, WEST OLIVE AND SOUTH SAN FERNANDO REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS.
