RDA RESOLUTION NO. 04-03
A RESOLUTION OF THE TUSTIN COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PAYMENT BY THE TUSTIN
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TUSTIN LIBRARY PROJECT
PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
33445
The Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") of the City of
Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Agency finds and determines as follows:
A.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 02-58 on June 12, 2002 and
Resolution No. 04-07 on January 5, 2004 authorizing submittal of a
Library Bond Act Grant application and making certain commitments as
required by the Library Bond Act including but not limited to a commitment
to provide local matching funds in the development of the Tustin Library
Project ("the Project").
B.
The Agency is engaged in implementation of the "Redevelopment Plan"
for the Town Center Area Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment
Project"); and
C.
Section 33445 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health &
Safety Code 33000, et seq.: "CRL") authorizes the Agency, with the
consent of the legislative body (Tustin City Council), to pay all or a part of
the value of the land for and the cost of the design, installation of
improvements and construction of any building, facility, structure or other
improvement which is publicly owned either within or without the project
area, if the legislative body determines all of the following:
(1 )
That the buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements are
of benefit to the project area or the immediate neighborhood in
which the project is located, regardless of whether the
improvements is within another project area, or in the case of a
project area in which substantially all of the land is publicly owned
the improvement is of benefit to an adjacent project area of the
agency.
(2)

facilities, structures, or other improvements, are available to the

D.
(3)
That the payment of funds for the acquisition of land, design, and
the cost of buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements
will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions
inside the project area or provide housing for low or moderate
income persons, and'- is consistent with the implementation plan
adopted pursuant to Section 33490.
The properties that comprise the Tustin Library Project site are a blighting
influence on the Redevelopment Project area exhibiting both physical and
economic blight reflected by a combination of conditions including, but not
limited to residential overcrowding, building dilapidation or deterioration,
incompatible uses inhibiting economic development of those parcels and
other portions of the project area, and low lease rates resulting in
stagnant property values and impaired investments in the project area.
E.
The Project will remove the blighting influence described above and
provide construction of a new publicly owned library facility; and
The Project will entail acquisition of land, demolition of existing structures,
design and installation of on-site, off-site improvements, including new
construction of an expanded library building (the "Improvements"), which
are needed to meet community needs (see the Library Bond Act Grant
Application which is on file in the City Manager's office, and is
incorporated herein by this reference.)
F.
G.
The public improvements contemplated for the Project are of benefit to
the Redevelopment Project Area or the immediate neighborhood in which
the Redevelopment Project is located; and
II. The Agency hereby finds and determines, based upon substantial
evidence provided in the record before it:
A.
That the foregoing recitals are true and correct;
B.
That the Improvements are of benefit to the project area or the immediate
neighborhood in which the project is located;
That no other reasonable means of financing the entire portion of the
City's local matching fund obligation under the Library Bond Act for the
Improvements, are available to the community;
C.
D.
That the acquisition of land and the cost of the Improvements for the
Project will assist in the elimination of blight in the Redevelopment Project
area, and is consistent with the implementation plan adopted by the
Agency for the Town Center Area Redevelopment Plan pursuant to
Section 33490 of the CRL.
