The City Council of the City of Palm Springs finds: A. The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs (the "Agency") has two project areas, namely, Merged Project Area No. 1 and Merged Project Area No. 2 and that the Redevelopment Plans for Merged Project Area No. 1 and No. 2 recognize that the provision of low and moderate income housing outside of the merged project areas will be of benefit to the merged- B. Section 33334.3(i) of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California (the "Law") provides that redevelopment agencies with more than one project area may satisfy the requirements of Sections 33334.2 and 33334.6 of the Law by allocating, in any fiscal year, less than 20 percent in one project area, if the difference between the amount allocated and the 20 percent required is instead allocated, in that same fiscal year, to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund from tax increment revenues from other project areas- C. For the fiscal year 2008-09, the Agency desires to satisfy the requirement to deposit 20 percent of tax increment funds from Merged Project Area No. 2 to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund by depositing the required amount from tax increment revenues from Merged Project Area No. 1. D. Prior to allocating additional funds from Merged Project Area No. 1 to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund to satisfy the requirement to deposit such amount from Merged Project Area No. 2 tax increment revenues, the Agency shall make the finding that the use of the additional funds deposited will be of benefit to Merged Project Area No. 1. E. The Agency's Five-Year Implementation Plan described a need to create 458 affordable housing units between 2004-05 and 2013-14, including 142 very-low income units. F. The Agency has assisted the Vista Sunrise Special Needs Apartments and Coyote Run If Apartments, resulting in the creation of 146 affordable to low and very low income families. G. Additional affordable housing projects that have been proposed and will require Agency assistance are the Garden Springs Apartments and Las Vegas Road Apartments, both located in Merged Project Area No. 1 and Tahquitz Court Housing and Sahara Mobile Home Park Improvements, both located outside either Merged Project Area No. 1 or Merged Project Area No. 2. Resolution No. 22447 Page 2 H. The four projects described in Findings F and G of this resolution, which are proposed to be funded in part with an Agency subsidy from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, will result in the creation or preservation of 350 affordable units. I. The creation or preservation of any of the 350 affordable units outside Merged Project Area No. 1 will be of benefit to Merged Project Area No. 1 and the community and that tax increment revenue deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund from Merged Project Area No. 1, which may be spent outside the boundaries of Merged Project Area No. 1, is of benefit to Merged Project Area No. 1. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Palm Springs: Section 1. Deposit. The City Council concurs and supports the Agency's decision to not make a deposit of tax increment revenue to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for Fiscal Year 2008-09, Merged Project Area No. 2, and that such amounts will be allocated to and deposited from Merged Project Area No. 1 tax increment revenue. Section 2. Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect from and after the date of approval and adoption thereof. ADOPTED THIS 257H DAY OF MARCH, 2009. David H.
