Article 3. Selection Of Project Area And Formulation Of Preliminary Plans

33320.1.  (a) "Project area" means, except as provided in Section
33320.2, 33320.3, 33320.4, or 33492.3, a predominantly urbanized area
of a community that is a blighted area, the redevelopment of which
is necessary to effectuate the public purposes declared in this part,
and that is selected by the planning commission pursuant to Section
33322.
   (b) As used in this section, "predominantly urbanized" means that
not less than 80 percent of the land in the project area is either of
the following:
   (1)  Has been or is developed for urban uses.
   (2)  Is an integral part of one or more areas developed for urban
uses that are surrounded or substantially surrounded by parcels that
have been or are developed for urban uses. Parcels separated by only
an improved right-of-way shall be deemed adjacent for the purpose of
this subdivision. Parcels that are not blighted shall not be included
in the project area for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of
taxes from the area pursuant to Section 33670 without other
substantial justification for their inclusion.
   (c) For the purposes of this section, a parcel of property as
shown on the official maps of the county assessor is developed if
that parcel is developed in a manner that is consistent with zoning
standards or is otherwise permitted under law.
   (d) The requirement that a project be predominantly urbanized
shall apply only to a project area for which a final redevelopment
plan is adopted on or after January 1, 1984, or to an area that is
added to a project area by an amendment to a redevelopment plan,
which amendment is adopted on or after January 1, 1984.



33320.2.  (a) The area included within a project and a project area
may be either contiguous or noncontiguous. All noncontiguous areas of
a project area shall be either blighted or necessary for effective
redevelopment. An unblighted, noncontiguous area shall be
conclusively deemed necessary for effective redevelopment if that
area is being used predominantly for:
   (1) The relocation of owners or tenants from other noncontiguous
areas in the same project area or from other project areas in the
community.
   (2) The construction and rehabilitation of low- or moderate-income
housing.
   (b) An unblighted, noncontiguous area shall be deemed not
necessary for effective redevelopment if that area is included for
the purpose of obtaining the allocation of taxes from such area
pursuant to Section 33670 without other substantial justification for
its inclusion.
   (c) The redevelopment agency shall not use the power of eminent
domain for acquisition of property, other than vacant land, in
noncontiguous, unblighted areas.


33320.3.  (a) The area included within a project and a project area
may be either contiguous or noncontiguous. All noncontiguous areas of
a project area shall be either blighted or necessary for effective
redevelopment. An unblighted, noncontiguous area within the City of
Victorville which is a part of a freeway interchange project that is
included in the State Transportation Improvement Program, as adopted
by the California Transportation Commission in June 1984, and an
unblighted area contiguous to that freeway interchange project east
of Armagosa, north of Seneca Road, west of Seventh Street, and South
of Plaza Drive and Mohave Drive, excluding any subdivided and
developed area, shall be conclusively deemed necessary for effective
redevelopment and may be included within a noncontiguous project area
by the redevelopment agency in the City of Victorville.
   (b) The redevelopment agency shall not use the power of eminent
domain for acquisition of property, other than vacant land, in
noncontiguous, unblighted areas.
   (c) This section shall only apply to a redevelopment project area
and the redevelopment agency within the City of Victorville.



33320.4.  (a) The unblighted territory that is described in
paragraphs (1) and (2) is contiguous to an existing redevelopment
project area within the City of Sanger, California. If all of that
unblighted territory is annexed to the City of Sanger, the planning
agency within the City of Sanger may, with the approval of the
redevelopment agency, include that territory in a proposed project
area, or the redevelopment agency may amend the redevelopment plan to
include that territory within an existing contiguous project area,
if the planning agency or the redevelopment agency, as the case may
be, determines that the inclusion of that territory is necessary for
effective redevelopment of the project area. If either, or both, of
those determinations are made, the territory shall be conclusively
presumed necessary for effective redevelopment within the proposed or
existing project area. Any actions taken by the planning agency or
redevelopment agency in accordance with this section shall comply
with all of the other requirements of this part.

33320.51.  (a) Any redevelopment plan, or any amendment to an
existing redevelopment plan adopted on or after July 1, 1993, that is
subject to Section 33320.5, may utilize as the base year either the
year it was adopted or the 1994-95 fiscal year, at the option of the
adopting agency, as referenced by a duly adopted ordinance of the

until the time that the county assessor certifies that assessed
values for the redevelopment project area equal or exceed the
assessed value in the initial base year. When that certification is
made by the county assessor, the base year shall revert to the
initial base year at the time of plan adoption.
   (b) To the extent any adjustment in the base year pursuant to this
section creates a negative fiscal impact on the state, the governing
board shall, on or before the expiration of five years from the date
of the adjustment of the base year pursuant to this section, remit
to the State Controller the total amount of increased aid to schools
received from the state as a result of the adjustment in the base

33321.  A project area need not be restricted to buildings,
improvements, or lands which are detrimental or inimical to the
public health, safety, or welfare, but may consist of an area in
which such 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 such 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 such area pursuant to
Section 33670 without other substantial justification for its
inclusion.


33321.5.  (a) Agricultural land and open-space land that is
enforceably restricted shall not be included within a project area.
   (b) A parcel of land that is larger than two acres and is in
agricultural use, but that is not enforceably restricted, shall not
be included within a project area unless the agency makes each of the
following findings, based upon substantial evidence in the record:
   (1) The inclusion of the land in the project area is consistent
with the purposes of this part.
   (2) The inclusion of the land in the project area will not cause
the removal of adjacent land, designated for agricultural use in the
community's general plan, from agricultural use.
   (3) The inclusion of the land within the project area is
consistent with the community's general plan.
   (4) The inclusion of the land in the project area will result in a
more contiguous pattern of development.
   (5) There is no proximate land that is not in agricultural use,
that is both available and suitable for inclusion within the project
area, and is not already proposed to be within the project area.
   (c) As used in this section the following definitions apply:
   (1) "Agricultural use" has the same meaning as that term is
defined in subdivision (b) of Section 51201 of the Government Code.
   (2) "Enforceably restricted" has the same meaning as that term is
defined in Sections 422 and 422.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

   (d) The provisions of subdivision (b) shall not apply to the
territory described in Section 33320.8.



33322.  The planning commission may select one or more project areas
comprised of all or part of any survey area, on its own motion, or
at the request of the agency. The planning commission shall select
one or more project areas comprised of all or part of any survey
area, at the direction of the legislative body, or upon the written
petition of the owners in fee of the majority in area of a proposed
project area, excluding publicly owned areas or areas dedicated to a
public use.
   The planning commission shall formulate a preliminary plan for the
redevelopment of each selected project area.



33323.  The agency and planning commission shall cooperate in the
selection of project areas and in the preparation of the preliminary
plan.


33324.  A preliminary plan need not be detailed and is sufficient if
it:
   (a) Describes the boundaries of the project area.
   (b) Contains a general statement of the land uses, layout of
principal streets, population densities and building intensities, and
standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopment of the project
area.
   (c) Shows how the purposes of this part would be attained by
redevelopment.
   (d) Shows that the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the
community's general plan.
   (e) Describes, generally, the impact of the project upon the area'
s residents and upon the surrounding neighborhood.



33325.  The planning commission shall submit the preliminary plan
for each project area to the agency.



33326.  Prior to publication of notice of the agency public hearing,
the planning commission may change the boundaries of a project area
with the approval of the agency.



33327.  After receipt of any preliminary redevelopment plan pursuant
to Section 33325, the agency shall transmit to the county auditor
and county assessor of the county in which the proposed project is
located, or to the officer or officers performing the functions of
the auditor or assessor for any taxing agencies which, in levying or
collecting its taxes, do not use the county assessment roll or do not
collect its taxes through the county, to the legislative or
governing bodies of local agencies which receive a portion of the
property tax levied pursuant to Part 0.5 (commencing with Section 50)
of the Revenue and Taxation Code and to the State Board of
Equalization:
   (a) A description of the boundaries of the project area.
   (b) A statement that a plan for the redevelopment of the area is

   Thereafter, if the boundaries of the proposed project are changed,
the agency shall notify the taxing officials and the State Board of
Equalization within 30 days by transmitting a description and map
indicating each boundary change made. The State Board of Equalization
shall prescribe the format of the description of boundaries and
statements, and the form, size, contents, and number of copies of the
map required to be transmitted pursuant to this section.



33328.  When it transmits the map of the project area to the county
officials, taxing agencies, and the State Board of Equalization
pursuant to Section 33327, the redevelopment agency shall also advise
those officials and agencies of the last equalized assessment roll
it proposes to use for the allocation of taxes that will comply with
Sections 33670 and 33670.5. That roll shall be known and referred to
as the base year assessment roll. The county officials charged with
the responsibility of allocating taxes under Sections 33670 and
33670.5 shall prepare and deliver to the redevelopment agency and
each of the taxing agencies, a report which shall include all of the
following:
   (a) The total assessed valuation of all taxable property within
the project area as shown on the base year assessment roll.
   (b) The identifications of each taxing agency levying taxes in the
project area.

from the base year assessment roll from the project area, including
state subventions for homeowners, business inventory, and similar
subventions.
   (d) For each taxing agency, its total ad valorem tax revenues from
all property within its boundaries, whether inside or outside the
project area.
   (e) The estimated first year taxes available to the redevelopment
agency, if any, based upon information submitted by the redevelopment

   (f) The assessed valuation of the project area for the preceding
year, or, if requested by the redevelopment agency, for the preceding
five years, except for state assessed property on the board roll.
However, in preparing this information, the requirements of Section
33670.5 shall be observed. The assessed value shall be reported by
block if the property is divided by blocks, or by any other
geographical area as may be agreed upon by the agency and county
officials.
   The report shall be prepared and delivered to the redevelopment
agency and each of the taxing agencies within 60 days of the date of
filing by the redevelopment agency with the State Board of
Equalization or as otherwise agreed upon by the agency and the State
Board of Equalization, unless the redevelopment agency requests the
assessed valuation for the preceding five years, in which case the
report shall be prepared and delivered within 90 days. If the
proposed base year assessment roll has not yet been equalized at the
time of the receipt of that advice, then the report shall be prepared
and delivered within 60 days, or other period, otherwise agreed
upon, by the agency and the State Board of Equalization, from the
date set forth in Section 2052 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,
unless the agency requests the assessed valuation for the preceding
five years, in which case, the report shall be prepared and delivered
within 90 days.
   If the filing does not comply with the requirements of Section
33327, the State Board of Equalization or the official of the taxing
agency entitled to receive those documents shall notify the filing
agency within 10 days, stating the manner in which the filing of
documents does not comply with this section. If no notice is given it
shall be conclusively presumed that the agency has complied with the
provisions of this section.
   If the report is not received within the time prescribed by this
section, the redevelopment agency may proceed with the adoption of
the redevelopment plan. The county officials may transmit a partial
report, and any final report or additional information, if received
by the agency prior to the close of the public hearing on the
redevelopment plan, shall become part of the record of the public
hearing.
   The State Board of Equalization and officials of all taxing
agencies shall provide the county officials preparing the report with
all information necessary for its preparation. All data and
information upon which the report is based shall be available to the
agency to the extent permitted by law.
   Prior to the publication of notice of the legislative body's
public hearing on the plan, the agency shall consult with each taxing
agency which levies taxes, or for which taxes are levied, on
property in the project area with respect to the plan and to the
allocation of taxes pursuant to Section 33670.



33328.1.  (a) When the county officials charged with the
responsibility of allocating taxes pursuant Sections 33670 and

but for the allocation of tax revenues pursuant to Sections 33670 and
33670.5.
   (4) A projection of the amount of tax revenues that may be
allocated to each school district, county office of education, and
community college district pursuant to Sections 33401, 33607.5,

prescribed by the department, a report that includes all of the
following:
   (1) A projection of any change in the number of residents,
including, but not limited to, the number of schoolage children,
within the project area for the duration of the project area.
   (2) A projection prepared by each school district, county office
of education, and community college district within the project area
of any change in the need for school facilities within the project
area for the duration of the project area.



33328.3.  If the boundaries of an existing project area for which
the redevelopment plan contains a provision for the division of taxes
as permitted by Section 33670 are changed pursuant to Article 4
(commencing with Section 33330), the redevelopment agency shall
notify the county officials by transmitting to them, the legislative
or governing bodies of the taxing agencies, and to the State Board of
Equalization, the information required by Section 33327 indicating
the areas to be added or detached. Within 60 days from the date of
filing or a period as otherwise agreed to by the agency and the State
Board of Equalization, the county officials shall prepare and submit
to the redevelopment agency and the taxing agencies a report
containing the information required under Section 33328, with respect
to those areas to be added to or detached from the project area.
   If a filing does not comply with the requirements of this section,
the State Board of Equalization or the official of the taxing agency
entitled to receive those documents shall notify the filing agency
within 10 days, stating the manner in which the filing of documents
does not comply with this section. If no notice is given, it shall be
conclusively presumed that the agency has complied with the
provisions of this section.



33328.4.  The State Board of Equalization shall establish a schedule
of fees for filing and processing the statements and maps which are
required to be filed with the State Board of Equalization pursuant to
Section 33327, 33328.3, 33328.5, 33375, or 33457. This schedule
shall not include any fee which exceeds the reasonably anticipated
cost to the State Board of Equalization of performing the work to
which the fee relates. The agency forwarding the statement and map
pursuant to Section 33327, 33328.3, 33328.5, 33375, or 33457 shall
accompany the statement and map with the necessary fee.



33328.5.  (a) If a redevelopment agency proposes to use the
equalized assessment roll for the year following the equalized
assessment roll which the redevelopment agency advised it would use
pursuant to Section 33328, the redevelopment agency shall, prior to
the adoption of the redevelopment plan using that different equalized
assessment roll, either notify the county officials, taxing
agencies, and the State Board of Equalization of the change in the
equalized assessment roll that it proposes to use for the allocation
of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 or prepare a report containing the
information specified in subdivisions (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and
(f) of Section 33328.
   (b) Upon receipt of a notice pursuant to subdivision (a), the
county officials charged with the responsibility of allocating taxes
under Section 33670 and 33670.5 shall prepare and deliver to the
redevelopment agency a report containing the information specified in
subdivisions (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) of Section 33328. The
report shall be prepared and delivered within the time periods
specified in Section 33328 for reports prepared pursuant to that
section. If a redevelopment agency gives the notice specified in
subdivision (a), the redevelopment plan specified in the notice shall
not be adopted until the time period for delivery of the report has
expired.
   (c) At least 14 days prior to the public hearing on the
redevelopment plan for which the redevelopment agency proposes to use
a different equalized assessment roll, the redevelopment agency
shall prepare and deliver to each taxing agency a supplementary
report analyzing the effect of the use of the different equalized
assessment roll which shall include those subjects required by
subdivisions (b), (e), and (n) of Section 33352. In lieu of a
supplementary report, a redevelopment agency may include in the
report required to be prepared pursuant to Section 33352, the
information required to be included in the supplementary report.
   (d) A redevelopment agency shall not be required to prepare a
subsequent preliminary report specified in Section 33344.5, unless
the report prepared pursuant to subdivision (b) states that the total
assessed value in the project area is less than the total assessed
value in the project area contained in the original report prepared
pursuant to Section 33328, in which case a new preliminary report
shall be prepared.
   (e) The use of a different assessment roll pursuant to this

33328.7.  Any costs incurred by a county, a school district, a
county office of education, or a community college district, in
preparing a report pursuant to Section 33328, 33328.1, 33328.3, or
33328.5, shall be reimbursed by the redevelopment agency which filed

project. Otherwise these costs shall be accounted for as general
administrative expenses of the agency.
