was listening to his concerns; that no other property
is affected by the street vacation, and wall construction,
except his property, and challenged why the developer

the street, and giving property to him to build on the
new lot line.
Executive Director reported that Mr. Jacob has made his
views known to the Planning Commission, that the site
plans have been approved.
Paula Kennedy, 371 Camino Monte Vista, asked that something

would detract from the beauty of the street, and that
other property owners feel the same way.
Tom Juarez , developer, stated that the wall does not have
to be a solid fixture, and he was willing to work with
the property owners; that wrought iron fencing is
acceptable, but the gated community aspect of the project
is necessary; that he is open to looking at landscaping;
and that he has worked with a majority of the homeowners.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) Comments re Item 1.
Howard Lapham urged that the item be continued, stating
that there is no hurry, and offered to meet with the
Council , Mr. Strebe, and others, to develop alternative
solution to transfer of debt from other project areas.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
1. PLAZA THEATER FUNDING
Recommendation: That the Agency consider making certain
findings re allocation of benefit from the Plaza Theatre
among various CRA project areas; and allocating outstanding
debt related thereto equally to PA1 CBD; PAS Baristo
Farrell ; and PA9 Citywide.
In answer to question by the Agency, Director of Finance
stated that the urgency is that if the debt is not created
by June 30, the funds will be lost; that the debt could
later be reversed; and that there are some outstanding
loans in PAS and PA9, but without this additional debt,
the tax increment loss would be about $200,000.
Agency Member- Schlendorf stated that she did not understand
the necessity for the transfer; that shie understood the
flaws of the redevelopment system; that: if the wording
is nebulous and unfair, the Agency should pursue with
the League of California Cities legislation to make changes
to language that is more definitive, and which the Agency
could be more comfortable.
Chairman agreed that he would not have :structured the
project areas as they are, but felt action should be taken,
followed by studying the entire issues of redevelopment,
including possible revised policies, and if need be, come
back and reverse this action.
In answer to question by the Agency, Director of Finance
reported that Assessment District 157 is not contiguous
to PA9; and the Agency has had a long-standing policy
not to use property tax increment in residential areas
for street improvements; and that $300,000 was contributed
by the General Fund toward A.D. 157.
Tlk
CRA Minutes
6-17-92 Page 2
1. PLAZA THEATER FUNDING (Continued)
Agency Member Hodges stated that PA9 is scattered throughout
the City, and there would not be a- single project that
will benefit the entire P/1,9; and that. "she was disappointed
that the issue was not raised as an option when the A.D.
157 was considered, rather than taking funds from the
General Fund.
Executive Director stated that the reason for not bringing
it forward as an option was the policy that residential
streets would be accomplished through assessment districts;
and noted that the Director of Economic Development is
preparing a report concerning each project area, which
will be forthcoming in a study session.
City Attorney stated that use of tax increment for
infrastructure is acceptable, but is easily drained away
for such purposes, and when there is an opportunity for
use of the increment toward economic growth, the money
is not available; that many agencies have similar policies
that increment not be spent on infrastructure, rather
on economic development activities.
It was moved by Lyons, seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously
carried, Reller absent, that this matter be continued
to June 23, for further review.
2. PA1B8
' Recommendation: That the Agency approve Disposition &
Development Agreement with John Wessman dba Wessman
Development Company for acquisition and development of
the former Bullock°s property on South Palm Canyon, across
from La Plaza.
Chairman stated he would abstain due to a client
relationship, and turned the meeting over to the
Vice-Chairman.
Executive Director reported that the agreement has not
been finalized, and recommended continuing this matter
to June 23.
It was moved by Hodges, seconded by Schlendorf, and
unanimously carried, Reller absent, and Maryanov abstaining,
that this matter be continued to June 23, 1992.
3. 1992-93 BUDGET
Recommendation: That the Agency approve continuing
appropriations from 1991-92 to 1992-93 fiscal year; and
adopt the 1992-93 Agency Budget.
Director of Finance reported that the budget resolution
identifies expenditures, and is not a part of the larger
document dealing with transfers.
Resolutions 863 and 864, as recommended, were presented;
after which, it was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Hodges,
and unanimously carried, Reller absent, that R863 and

the Plaza Theatre among various CRA project areas; and
allocating outstanding debt related thereto equally to
PA1 CBD; PA8 Baristo Farrell ; and PA9 Citywide; and the
City Council continued its companion resolution.
Assistant City Manager reported that the action would
take the debt owed for the Theater and spread it against
the three project areas; that ,traditionally, the Agency
has not used tax increment for street improvements, rather
limited it to redevelopment kinds of activities; that
the Theatre must be purchased by 1998; that the possibility
of creating debt in the other project areas was looked
at to avoid losing tax increment funds from those areas,
and spreading the debt for the Theatre is a legitimate
means of doing that; and that the action can later be (124-
rescinded. 074)
In answer to questions from the Agency, the Director of
Finance reported that the tax increment from PA8 and PA9
combined is about $250,000 annually; that the redevelopment
plan, which extends over 30 years, sets a ceiling as to
how much tax increment can be accrued, however, it is
set at very high levels; and that there is existing
debt for PA8 and PA9, but the tax increment exceeds the
level of debt.
Assistant City Attorney Marticorena stated that the tax
increment calculation is made on an annual basis, and
that if sufficient debt is not shown, the revenue for
that year would be lost, although it could be increased
the next year; that the project area level of increment
is usually set far in excess of what a project area
will ever generate; that if debt were set to ever approach
that level , then it could not go beyond that amount, but
generally it is in excess of what could be expected during
the term of the project area; that the redevelopment plan
sets forth broad guidelines, and the subject proposal
is consistent with those guidelines, and would not be
an amendment to the Plan; that finding that the Theatre
provides benefit to other project areas is a reasonable
finding and consistent with redevelopment law; that it
is specifically reasonable finding that it benefits the
entire CBD Project Area, and certain areas of PA9, i .e. ,
those areas relatively close the CBD.

1. PLAZA THEATER (Continued)
Mayor stated that the Agency will lose money eventually
if it does not have debt for the project area; that he
felt the Agency has a responsibility to provide the funds
for the previously imposed! obligation to purchase the
Theatre; that the City Attorney has indicated this is
a legally appropriate means of doing that; that the CBD
affects the entire city; that staff will be bringing back
a report in the next few weeks which discusses all of
the project areas in terms of plans, funds, etc; and that
the creation of the debt is reversible.
Councilmember Schlendorf stated that she found it difficult
to believe that the Agency would actually lose funds,
since it has not yet accrued them; that there may be other '
methods of paying for the Theatre in seven years; that
she was concerned about moving funds out of a project
area, and then assessing property owners for improvements
that could have been funded by thoseincrement revenues,
e.g. , PA9 street improvements; and that she felt it was
being responsible to take the action proposed.
Resolution 865 (Agency) and Resolution 17893 (Council ) ,
approving actions, as recommended, were presented; after
which, it was moved by Lyons, seconded by Maryanov, and

reported that there are no General Funds involved in the
transaction; that Housing Set Aside funds will be used
' for the Agency's obligation, which may only be used for
housing and parking, noting that 40-60 units are proposed
atop the parking structure; and that revenue projections
show that the project is feasible.
Agency Member Lyons stated that the project is a good
one, and fit into the overall plaza renovation, with added
residential amenity, and a partner relationship in bringing
about the development.
Agency Member Reller stated that she felt the proposal
solves a lot of legal problems and obligations.
