ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ADOPTING A PROCEDURE FOR THE
FORMATION AND ELECTION OF A PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE
SUMMARY: Council approval is requested to adopt a Procedure for Formation and Election of
a Project Area Committee, a required action in connection with the proposed 1999 Amendment
to the Redevelopment Plan for the South Central Redevelopment Project Area, which would
establish the Redevelopment Agency's eminent domain authority.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution adopting the Procedure for Formation and Election of the Project
Area Committee for the 1999 Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the South Central
Redevelopment Project Area.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time.
BACKGROUND
The City Council of the City of Tustin ("City Council") adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the
South Central Redevelopment Project. Area ("Redevelopment Plan") on August 1, 1983 by
Ordinance No. 890 pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and
Safety Code Section 33000, et. seq., ("CRL"). The Redevelopment Plan was subsequently
amended on two occasions. The first amendment added approximately 138 acres to the South
Central Redevelopment Project Area (adopted on July 15, 1985, by Ordinance No. 439). The
second amendment established certain time limitations required by the passage of Assembly Bill
1290 (adopted on November 21, 1994 by Ordinance No. 1142). The Redevelopment Plan, as
adopted and amended, included eminent domain authority over all property in the South Central
Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"). However, the initial eminent domain authority
within the original Project Area and the area added by the first amendment expired recently. The
power of eminent domain can only be re-established by amendment to the Redevelopment Plan.
This authority is needed within the South Central Redevelopment Project Area to complete
redevelopment and revitalization activities in the Project Area.

The first step in the process of amending the Redevelopment Plan is for the City Council to adopt
a procedure for the formation of what is known as a Project Area Committee ("PAC"). As
required by Section 33385.3 of the CRL, a PAC must be formed if the proposed amendment
would either: 1) allow the Redevelopment Agency to acquire by eminent domain, property in a
project area where a substantial number of low and moderate income people reside; or 2) add
territory in which a substantial number of low to moderate persons reside, and authorize the use
of eminent domain in the added territory for properties in which people reside. Since the
proposed 1999 Amendment would extend the Agency's use 0f eminent domain, and the Project
Area is believed to include a substantial number of low to moderate-income residents, a PAC
formation is required.
The PAC is an elected body comprised of residential owner occupants, residential tenants,
business owners (including non-resident property owners), and existing community
organizations within the Project Area. Each group must be adequately represented. Prior to
serving on the PAC, each PAC member must complete a Conflict of Interest form, which has
been attached for Council review. The PAC will review the proposed 1999 Amendment to the
Redevelopment Plan ("1999 Amendment") and may choose to prepare a report and
recommendation about the 1999 Amendment to the City Council. If the PAC opposes the
adoption of the 1999 Amendment, the City Council must adopt the plan by a two-thirds vote,
rather than a simple majority.
After the 1999 Amendment is adopted, the responsibilities of the PAC are to consult with and
advise the Redevelopment Agency on policy matters that affect the residents of the Project Area.
The PAC serves for a three-year period after the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, subject to
one-year extensions by the City Council. PAC meetings are subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act.
The CRL sets out rules for the election including notification and voting procedures. City
Council must, by resolution, adopt a procedure for the formation of the PAC. The Procedure for
Formation and Election of the Project"Area Committee for the Redevelopment Project Area is
attached as Exhibit "A" to this report. The highlights are as follows:
Membership/Eligibili _ty
· The PAC is composed of residential owner-occupants, residential tenants, business owners
(which includes non-resident property owners), and existing community organizations within
the Project Area.
· Any person is eligible to vote and/or to be a candidate for the PAC if they are a residential
owner-occupant, residential tenant, business owner, or existing community organization in
the Project .Area. Evidence of qualifications must be shown at the time of the election. It is
recommended that the PAC be composed of nine (9) members in the following categories:
