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 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
ownership. The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and
shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development
that are in multiple ownership.

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.

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.

Desert Fashion Plaza Redevelopment
Closed in 1997 by its lender, the mall has steadily lost tenants while a
series of owners/developers have developed plans to redesign, remodel,
and reposition the center. It is currently 75% vacant, having lost both
major tenants and boarding up the entire interior. The mall is currently in
escrow with a developer that proposes to reduce the amount of retail
space and add residential and other mixed-use opportunities. All of the
developers proceeding with a redevelopment of the project have
encountered financing gaps in their pro formas, and have requested
Agency financial assistance in order to allow the project to go forward.
While there has not been a formal request for Agency financial assistance
from the current developer nor, has any pro forma has been made

Downtown Parking Structure and Surface Parking Lots
The City of Palm Springs, in the early 1990's, created a business incentive
in the downtown area by reducing its "in lieu" parking fee for businesses
locating there. While the results have been successful in terms of a
renewal of vitality in the downtown area, it has led to a dearth of easily
accessible parking spaces in the downtown. The Agency has acquired
through purchase or trade, redesigned, and renovated a number of
peripheral parking lots, including the Catholic Church parking lot, the Blue
Coyote Lot, the Vineyard parking lot, the Las Casuelas lot, and recently,
the Henry Frank Arcade lot. The Agency will assist the City of Palm
Springs in the development and construction of one or more parking
structures in the downtown area..

Burnett Development Palm Springs East and Palm Springs West
The developer is proposing the largest new home tract in the City of Palm
Springs in more than a decade. A significant portion of the developer's
Palm Springs West site is land acquired from the City of Palm Springs
(through the Agency, which has purchased the site for the purposes of
effectuating the agreement) and the Agency, which had purchased a 39-
acre mobile home park with Low/Mod Housing funds in 1995. The
Agency proposes to sell the 19-acre vacant portion of the mobile home
park to Burnett Development, along with the 22.21 acre City parcel, for the
purposes of constructing market-rate housing in the area. The sale is for
fair market value, with the proceeds of the: 19-acre portion deposited in the
Low/Mod Housing Fund to be used for affordable housing purposes, and
the proceeds for the 22.21 acre parcel being returned to the City of Palm
Springs. The developer has asked for assistance on the Palm Springs
East site in land acquisition. While the entire development is "for sale"
housing, it is intended to be sold at a price point currently lacking in Palm
Springs in that category of new housing: under $300,000 for a detached,
single-family home.

Tables 2 - 4 present a preliminary five-year budget for Project No. 1
Nonhousing Fund, Project No. 2 ''Nonhousing Fund, and Housing Fund,
respectively. Actual revenues and expenditures may differ from these
forecasts and are therefore subject to change.
RSG projected the remaining year's revenues and expenditures based on
the assumptions delineated below`.,
■ Revenue and expenditures for fiscal year 2001-02 were based on the
current budget
■ Future tax increment revenues were projected based on a 2%
increase in the secured assessed value in the Project Areas.
■ Interest earnings were based on current year projections and
beginning fund balances.
■ Debt service payments consist of bond debt service and City loan
repayments. Bond debt service payments were based on the
respective debt service schedules, While City loan payments were
projected to remain constant during the five-year projections.
■ Taxing agency payments from the nonhousing fund have been
calculated pursuant to terms of existing fiscal mitigation agreements.
■ Capital project debt service costs were obtained from the current
budget, and assumed to remain constant during the forecast.
■ Personnel, Materials, and Special Charges were assumed to increase
by 2% annually in the projections.
■ Project costs were obtained from the 2001-02 budget and staff
estimates.

Housing Compliance Plan
Merged Redevelopment Project Nos. 1 and 2
Introduction
This document is the Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
("Compliance Plan") for the Merged Redevelopment Project No. 1
("Project No. 1") and the Merged Redevelopment Project No. 2 ("Project
No. 2") of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm
Springs ("Agency'). This Compliance Plan incorporates a summary of
the Agency's affordable housing production activities since fiscal year
1994-95 and presents an affordable housing production plan for the
balance of the ten-year planning period (to fiscal year 2003-04).
In sum, this Compliance Plan delineates a ten-year affordable housing
production requirement of 82 units, of which no less than 33 must be
available to households of very low income. Including the affordable
housing projects completed and anticipated to be finished by the end of
the planning period, the Agency anticipates that 378 affordable units,
including 149 very low income units will be created during the planning
period. As a result, the Agency anticipates exceeding the required
production by 296 units, including 116 very low income units.
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.
Legal Requirements for Compliance Plans
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 33413(b)(4) and 33490(a)(2) and
(3) of the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety
Code Section 33000 et. seq. ("Law"), this Compliance Plan sets forth the
Agency's program for ensuring that the appropriate number of very low,
low, and moderate income housing units will be produced as a result of
new construction or substantial rehabilitation.

AMENDED AND RESTATED TEN-YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
MERGED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS NOS. 1 AND 2
These requirements apply to the all component areas of the Project:
Areas, except for the Central _Business,::.District.,area,within Project
Area No. :1, because it was °created in 1973, pribr to when the
requirements.for production and.replacerent of affocd„able:housing
took effect inA97& 'Until the merger in May 2000:.no production or
replacement housing was required for the Central Business District
area,,, After the; merger, however, Section 33487(e), obligates the
.., .. . . .,
Agency to.'prospectively.apply the replacement housing requirements
in the Central Business District as well. There is still no'requirement
fo for:affordable housing production within the Central' Business
District area.
Contents of the Compliance Plan
This Compliance Plan has been developed to accomplish the following
goals:
• To account for the number' of affordable dwelling units, either
constructed or substantially rehabilitated, in the Project Areas since
their adoption;
■ To forecast the estimated number of dwelling units to be privately
developed or substantially rehabilitated between fiscal years 1994-95
and 2003-04 and over the duration of 1he Redevelopment Plans;
• To forecast the estimated number of dwelling units to be developed or
substantially rehabilitated by the Agency between fiscal years 1994-95
and 2003-04;
■ To project the availability of Agency revenue for funding affordable
housing production;
v To identify implementation policies/programs and potential sites for
affordable housing development;
■ To establish a timeline for implementing this Compliance Plan to
ensure that the requirements of Section 33413 are met during the ten-
year period between fiscal years 1994.95 and 2003-04; and
■ To review the consistency of Agency affordable housing goals,
objectives, and programs pursuant to the City's Housing Element.

AMENDED AND RESTATED TEN-YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN

Purpose
Since 1976, redevelopment agencies have been required to assure that at
least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated units developed by an
agency are available at affordable costs to households of very low, low, or
moderate income. Of this 30%, not less than 50% are required to be
available at affordable costs to very low-income households. Further, for
all units developed in the project area by entities other than an agency, the
Law requires that at least 15% of all new or substantially rehabilitated
dwelling units within the Project Areas be made available at affordable
costs to low or moderate income households. Of these, not less than 40%
of the dwelling units are required to be available at affordable costs to very
low-income households. These requirements are applicable to housing
units as aggregated, and not on a project-by-project basis to each dwelling
unit created or substantially rehabilitated unless so required by an agency.
In 1994, the Law was amended to require redevelopment agencies to
prepare a plan that demonstrated how the agency would achieve the
aforementioned affordable housing mandates. Known as housing
compliance plans, the Law also requires agencies to update said plans
every five years.
Methodology and Data Compilation
This Compliance Plan takes into account all residential construction or
substantial rehabilitation that has occurred within the Project Areas since
their adoption in order to determine affordable housing production needs; it
accounts for existing residential construction and substantial rehabilitation,
and includes projections of new dwelling units that may be constructed or
substantially rehabilitated during the ten-year planning period.
Historical construction and substantial rehabilitation statistics were
provided by the Agency. It should be noted that neither the existing
housing stock nor projections for future dwelling units include any units to
be developed by the Agency. However, the Agency will continue to
cooperate with and provide assistance and incentives to private
developers in order to meet affordable housing production needs.

Afford I able Housing Productio Needs
This section describes the Agency's production needs for the planning
period (1994-95 through 2003-04,) and over the greater duration of the
respective Redevelopment Plans (for Project No. 1,through December 29,
2028;for Project No. 2, through July 19, 2031).
Affordable housing production statistics presented here have been
aggregated from Project No. 1 and Project No. 2. Section
33413(b)(2)(A)(v) of the Law permits the Agency aggregate affordable
housing production needs among'!project areas, if the Agency conducts a
public hearing and finds that such aggregation will not exacerbate racial,
ethnic, or economic segregation. Following the adoption of this
Compliance Plan, the Agency anticipates making such a finding.
Planning Period Production Needs
According to data supplied by the,City Planning Department, a total of 73
dwelling units have been either constructed or substantially rehabilitated in
the Project Areas during the current planning period.' Between June 2001
and the end of the planning period in June 2004, another 476 units are
anticipated to be developed in :the Project Areas, bringing the total
projected planning period housing production to 549 units. All 549 units
produced during the planning period were (and are anticipated to be)
developed by persons or entities other than the Agency.
The breakdown of the planning period housing production activity is shown
in Table 1 below:
Based on building permits issued between January,1994 and June?_001.

Total 149 295 254 549
Note: No units developed by Redevelopment Agency
Section 33413(b) of the Law requires that not less than 82 (15%) of the
549 units produced during the planning period be affordable to low and
moderate income households. In addition, at least 33 (40%) of these 82
units must be affordable to very low income households. These affordable
housing production requirements must be met during the planning period,
which ends after fiscal year 2003-04.
To satisfy the Agency's production needs, units that are either developed
or substantially rehabilitated must be feature covenants that extend to the
duration of the respective Redevelopment Plans. Units may be
constructed inside or outside the Project Areas, but units provided outside
a project area count on a 2-for-1 basis. The Agency may also purchase
30-year affordability covenants on multifamily units.
Upon the completion of several housing programs involving new
construction, substantial rehabilitation, provision of units outside the
Project Areas, and affordability covenant acquisition, the Agency
anticipates that 378 affordable units will be produced for the planning
period. This would result in a surplus of 296 affordable housing units
(more than the 82 units required), which could be applied to meet
additional affordable housing production needs over the duration of the
Redevelopment Plans.
Of the 378 units produced, 149 are anticipated to be restricted for very low
income households; the 149 very low income units projected exceed the

housing needs of the Agency over the duration of the Redevelopment
Plan.

Production Needs over Duration of Redevelopment Plan
As mentioned earlier, the Agency expects to have a surplus of affordable
housing units produced during the planning period; these surplus units are
expected to be available to meet the Agency's production needs over the
entire duration of the Redevelopment Plans.
Table 3 presents estimates of the cumulative affordable housing
production needs over the duration of both Redevelopment Plans. The
estimates in Table 3 include planning period forecasts contained in Table
1, statistics on pre-1994 housing production based on data from the
Agency and Planning Department, and forecasts of additional buildout
within the Project Areas.

Based on these forecasts, a total of 1,311 units would be built or
substantially rehabilitated in the Project Areas over the duration of the
Redevelopment Plans. Of the 1,311 units projected, at least 197 units
(15%) would need to be affordable to low and moderate income
households, and 79 (40% of the 197 units) would need to be affordable to
very low income households.

ProductionReplacement Housing
The Law requires that whenever dwelling units housing low and moderate
income households are destroyed as part of an Agency project, the
Agency is responsible for ensuring that an equivalent number of
replacement units are constructed or substantially rehabilitated. These
units must provide at least the same number of bedrooms destroyed, and
100% of the replacement unitS2 must be affordable to the same income
categories (i.e. very low, low, and moderate) as those removed. The
Agency receives a full credit for replacement units created inside or
outside the Project Areas.
Rudnick Building Demolition Project
In 1995, the Agency relocated the 2 occupied units of a 4 unit housing
project in the Project Area No. 1 (Central Business District), also known as
the Rudnick Building. In September 2000, the building was demolished.
The Agency has replaced both occupied units with 2, one-bedroom very
low income units,
According to Agency staff, no additional units are expected to be
destroyed or removed as a part of an Agency project during the planning
period.
]Prior to January 1,2002,75%of all replacement units must be of the same income category as those displaced.

One of the Agency's primary sources of revenues for housing program
implementation is the annual 201/o housing set-aside deposits. The Law
requires that not less than 20% of all tax increment revenue allocated to
the Agency must be used to increase, improve, and preserve the
community's supply of housing available., at affordable housing cost, to
persons and families of very low, low, and moderate incomes.
As set forth by Section 33333.4', of the Law, it is stated policy of the
California State Legislature that, °.:.it shall be the policy of each agency to
expend, over the duration of the redevelopment plan, the moneys in the
low and moderate income housing fund to assist housing for persons of
low and very low income in at feast the same proportion as the total
number of housing units needed for those income groups which are not
being provided by other governmental programs bears to the total number
of units needed for persons of moderate, low, and very low income within
the community."
Table 5 presents projected housing fund revenues that may be available
for housing production activities over the balance of the current planning
period. The forecast of revenues'is based on a conservative 2% growth
rate in Project Area secured assessed values. Available funds are net of
current planning commitments and other housing fund expenditures.
In total, the Agency could accumulate approximately $2,848,000 to fund
housing programs by fiscal year 2003-04.

Housing Compliance Plan
Merged Redevelopment Project Nos. 1 and 2
Housing Element Consistency
Because this Compliance Plan focuses on providing housing for lower
income households who are generally the most difficult segment of the
community for whom to provide housing, it is clearly consistent with the
Housing Element's goal to provide housing for all economic groups within
the Project Areas. Both this Compliance Plan and the Housing Element
state there is a definite need to assure an adequate supply of housing for
the lower income segments of the community.
A major focal point of the goals, policies, and objectives of the Housing
Element is to provide housing for all economic segments of the Project
Areas, especially lower income families. Because the major goal of this
Compliance Plan is also to provide housing for these lower income
households, and the proposed plans and programs for improving the
supply of affordable housing in the Project Areas presented in this
Compliance Plan are similar to plans and policies of the Housing Element,
there is clearly consistency between the Compliance Plan and the
Housing Element.
