The Community Redevelopment Agency is required to conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input on the matter. A draft Plan is enclosed for review and comment. BACKGROUND: The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs ("Agency") has prepared a Five Year Implementation Plan/Housing Compliance Plan, which it is required to do every five years as required by California Health & Safety Code Section 33490(a)(1)(3). The Community Redevelopment Agency is required to conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input on the matter. This public hearing is on the required Five-Year Implementation Plan (the "Implementation Plan") for all Redevelopment Project Areas of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs (the "Agency"), which was created by the City of Palm Springs (the "City") City Council on August 14, 1972 by Ordinance No. 929, to undertake redevelopment activities that remove physically and economically blighted conditions that inhibit and continue to plague economic growth in the city. All redevelopment agencies in California were required by the Community Development Reform Act of 1993 ("AB 1290") to adopt an "implementation plan" prior to December 31, 1994, and to readopt an implementation plan every five years thereafter. The initial Implementation Plan was adopted by a resolution of the Community Redevelopment Agency on March 15, 1995, and addressed all ten redevelopment projects of the Agency. This plan was due to be adopted by December 31, 1999 and is considered late by the State Controller's Office. The Implementation Plan sets forth and describes the capital projects of the Agency, as well as the Agency's goals and objectives in eliminating blight in the project areas. The most significant change in the Agency since the adoption of the first Implementation le, 0 6 0, A Plan in 1995 is the merger of the Agency's ten project areas into two: Merged Area #1 and Merged Area #2. One area of the report that is lacking complete data is the Housing Compliance Report, in part because of the difficulty extracting the data necessary (all housing units, single- family and multi-family, constructed or rehabilitated in the City between 1985 and 2001, broken down by Project Area) from the City's existing building permit system. One recommendation will be to redesign the building permit system to automatically sort and collect that information. Per the requirements of the Act, notice was published in The Desert Sun on October 3 and October 10, and Notices of Public Hearing were posted in permanent locations in all ten of the project areas. A draft copy of the Report is enclosed, and was placed on file for viewing in the Redevelopment Agency office in City Hall on October 5, 2001. zll_��41DY�(1)7, JOHN � RAYMO ID r Director of Redey lopment APPR�OVE—D-:-:�;����—� r Executive Direc ✓ ATTACHMENTS: 1.

These items are specifically addressed in the amended Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan, attached hereto as Appendix "A". ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP,INC. PAGE 1 C'gk 4 ,846 Five-Year Implementation Plan Merged Redevelopment Project Nos. 1 & 2 Background The Agency was created by the City of Palm Springs (the "City") City Council on August 14, 1972 by Ordinance No. 929 to undertake redevelopment activities that remove physically and economically blighted conditions that inhibit and continue to plague economic growth in the City. Between July 1973 and July 1991, the City Council established ten separate redevelopment project areas, which were merged by Ordinance Nos. 1583 and 1584 on May 26, 2000. Merged Project Area No. 1 Project Area No. 1 consists of seven of the original ten redevelopment project areas, and encompasses an area approximately 1,786 acres in size. The components of Project Area No. 1 are set forth below: ■ The Central Business District Redevelopment Project established on July 11, 1973 by Ordinance No. 959 and amended by Ordinance No. 1497 on December 21, 1994. ■ The South Palm Canyon Redevelopment Project established on November 30, 1983 by Ordinance No. 1203 and amended by Ordinance No. 1494 on December 21, 1994, ■ The Ramon-Bogie Redevelopment Project established on November 30, 1983 by Ordinance No. 1202 and amended by Ordinance No. 1490 on December 21, 1994. ■ The Oasis Redevelopment Project established on July 10, 1984 by Ordinance No. 1224 and amended by Ordinance No. 1495 on December 21, 1994. ■ The North Palm Canyon Redevelopment Project established on September 19, 1984 by Ordinance No. 1227 and amended by Ordinance No. 1498 on December 21, 1994. ■ The Highland-Gateway Redevelopment Project established on November 20, 1984 by Ordinance No. 1231 and amended by Ordinance No. 1491 on December 21, 1994. ■ The Citywide Redevelopment Project No. 9 established on December 29, 1988 by Ordinance No. 1321 and amended by Ordinance No. ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.

Merged Project Area No. 2 Project Area No. 2 is comprised of the remaining three original redevelopment project areas, and is approximately 1,293 acres in size. The components of Project Area No. 2 are set forth below: ■ The Tahquitz-Andreas Redevelopment Project established on July 19, 1983 by Ordinance No. 1187 and amended by Ordinance No. 1489 on December2l, 1994. ■ The Baristo-Farrell Redevelopment Project established on May 7, 1986 by Ordinance No. 1267 and amended by Ordinance No. 1493 on December2l, 1994. ■ The Canyon Redevelopment Project established on July 19, 1991 by Ordinance No. 1388 and amended by Ordinance No. 1492 on December21, 1994. Blighting Conditions Redevelopment projects are established to remedy conditions of blight as defined by the Law that is in effect at the time a redevelopment project is adopted. The Law's definition of what constitutes blight has changed substantially since the Project Areas were adopted. The current definition of blight, as stated in Section 33031 of the Law, is set forth below: ■ Unsafe/Dilapidated/Deteriorated Buildings. 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 utilities, or other similar factors. ■ Physical Conditions that Limit the Economic Viability and Use of Lots/Buildings. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of buildings or lots. This condition can be caused by a substandard design, inadequate size given present standards and market conditions, lack of parking, or other similar factors. ■ Incompatible uses. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the project area. ■ Lots of Irregular Shape, Inadequate Size, and Under Multiple ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC. PAGE 3 cleh 649 7 FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN MERGED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NOS. 1 &2 ownership. The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership. ■ Depreciated/Stagnant Property Values; Impaired Investments. Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including, but not necessarily limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes that require the use of agency authority as specified in Article 12.5 (commencing with Section 33459). ■ High Business Turnovers and Vacancies/Low Lease Rates/Abandoned Buildings/Vacant Lots. Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, high turnover rates, abandoned buildings, or excessive vacant lots within an area developed for urban use and served by utilities. ■ Lack of Neighborhood Commercial Facilities. A lack Of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in neighborhoods, including grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other lending institutions. ■ Overcrowding/Excess of Adult Businesses. Residential overcrowding or an excess of bars, liquor stores, or other businesses that cater exclusively to adults that has led to problems of public safety and welfare. ■ High Crime Rates. A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to the public safety and welfare. The Law also characterizes inadequate public improvements as blight when the aforementioned conditions are present. Goals of the Constituent Redevelopment Plans Though the ten constituent project areas were merged in May 2000, the Agency maintains separate Redevelopment Plans and goals for each component area. These goals formulate the overall strategy for this Implementation Plan and will serve as a guide for the Agency's activities over the next five years.
