Secondly, the interim urgency ordinance requires the payment or security for payment of Circulation Improvement Fees pending adoption of the final plan this fall. While the original Ordinance No. 930 was an urgency measure, it does not prohibit development but requires its conformity with the contemplated specific plan and amendment to the South/Central Redevelopment Project Area. However, since government code section 65858 applies to this interim urgency ordinance, the ordinance will expire 45 days from its adoption. At this time staff recommends extension of this interim ordinance for a period of six months to allow adequate time for completion and processing of Specific Plan No. 7 by J.L. Webb Planning, consultants to the city. Pursuant to State law, the following describes measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance: Following adoption of the interim urgency ordinance, Community Development staff continued its preparation and completion of the South/Central Project Area amendment for the Redevelopment Agency. This project area plan will provide a necessary funding mechanism to construct circulation improvements within Specific Plan Area No. 7 as required to mitigate traffic generated in the area. The final Specific Plan will incorporate the South/Central EIR as mitigation to alleviate any adverse impacts which could result from adoption of the specific plan. At present, the two majority property owners namely the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company and Pacific Bell Telephone, are participating in both the preparation of the redevelopment and specific plans. The majority property owners realize proper planning and design of the circulation system will ultimately serve and benefit their property. Santa Fe Land Company to date has funded the specific plan preparation under staff's direction.
