Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana ("City Council")
hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is a
community redevelopment agency organized and existing under
the California Community Redevelopment law, Health and Safety
Code Section 33000, et. seq., ("CRl") and has been authorized to
transact business and exercise the powers of a redevelopment
agency pursuant to action of the City Council.
B. On December 4, 1989, by Ordinance No. NS-2039, the City Council
approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Bristol
Corridor Redevelopment Project ("Project Area") and subsequently
amended the Redevelopment Plan ("Existing Plan") four (4) times
to exempt certain properties from eminent domain, extend plan
effectiveness, and establish financial and time limits in compliance
with Assembly Bill 1290, Assembly Bill 1342, Senate Bill 1054, and
other provisions of the CRL.
C. The ordinances adopting the Existing Plan, as amended
(collectively, the "Original Ordinances"), including the findings and
determinations made by the City Council therein are made part
hereof by this reference.
D. The Agency is vested with the responsibility to carry out the
Existing Plan.
11 Bl.1
E. As a part of this amendment proceeding, the Agency desires to
amend the Existing Plan ("Amendment") to merge the Project Area
with the Central City, Inter-City Commuter Station, North Harbor,
South Harbor, and South Main Redevelopment Projects ("Merged
Project Area") to allow the combining of tax increment revenues
from each and all of these constituent project areas so that taxes
attributable to each constituent project area which are allocated to
the Agency pursuant to CRL Section 33670(b) are allocated to the
entire Merged Project Area for the purpose of paying principal of,
and interest on, indebtedness incurred by the Agency to finance or
refinance, in whole or in part, the Merged Project Area; except that
any such taxes attributable to any constituent project area shall first
be used to pay indebtedness in compliance with the terms of any
bond resolution or other agreement pledging such taxes from the
constituent project area, which resolution or other agreement was
adopted or approved by the Agency prior to the merging of these
projects; and except as otherwise noted above, tax increment
revenue attributed to each constituent project may be used for any
lawful purpose in any constituent project now within the Merged
Project Area.
F. Further, the Amendment (as well as the concurrent amendments to
the other constituent project areas) creating the Merged Project
Area will best facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas through
economic vitality and increased and improved housing
opportunities pursuant to CRL Article 16, Section 33485, et. seq.
G. The City Council has received from the Agency the proposed
Amendment, a copy of which is on file at the office of the Clerk of
the Council, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, together
with the Agency's Report to the City Council on the Amendment,
including the reasons for the Amendment; proposed projects and
programs; the proposed method of financing the redevelopment of
the Merged Project Area which includes the Project Area; a method
and plan for relocation; the report of the Planning Commission of
the City with respect to the conformity of the Amendment with the
General Plan of the City of Santa Ana ("General Plan"); a
neighborhood impact report; a summary of consultations with
11 B-2
Project Area property owners, businesses and community
organizations; and a summary of consultations with affected taxing
agencies.
H. A project area committee was not required to be formed in
connection with this Amendment because it does not affect the
existing authority of the Agency to acquire, by eminent domain,
, ,
property on which a substantial number of low and moderate
income persons reside and because this Amendment does not
contain additional public projects and does not grant the Agency
authority to fund or develop additional public projects that would
displace a substantial number of low and moderate income
persons.
I. Although this Amendment, and each of the proposed plan
amendments causing the merger, will be considered and adopted
separately pursuant to the CRL to facilitate their consideration, this
Amendment and each of the proposed plan amendments causing
the merger have been aggregated and presented together in a
single joint public hearing.
J. The City Council and the Agency held a joint public hearing on
September 7, 2004, on the adoption of the Amendment in the City
Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California.
K. Notice of said joint public hearing was duly and regularly published
in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, once a week for at
least four successive weeks prior to the date of such joint public
hearing, and a copy of said notice was mailed, by first class mail, to
each last known assessee of each parcel and to all known
residents and businesses located on each parcel in the Project
Area not less than thirty days prior to the date of commencement of
the joint public hearing. Affidavits of such publication and such
mailing are on file with the Clerk of the Council and the Agency.
L. Copies of the notice of joint public hearing were mailed by certified
mail with return receipt requested to the governing body of each
affected taxing agency receiving taxes from property in the Project
Area.
11 B-3
M. The Agency, in accordance with CRL Section 33488, has timely
notified the State of California - Department of Housing and
Community Development of its intent to merge the Project Area
with the Central City, Inter-City Commuter Station, North Harbor,
South Harbor and South Main Redevelopment Projects.
N. In conformity with the requirements of CRL Section 33490, the
Agency has previously adopted and has in place an implementation
plan for the Existing Plan and each of the constituent project areas
("Implementation Plan") that describes the redevelopment project
areas, the specific goals and objectives for the project areas, and
the specific programs, including potential projects and estimated
expenditures proposed during the five (5) year term of such
Implementation Plan, and further, the Implementation Plan includes
an explanation of how the goals, objectives, programs, and
expenditure will eliminate blight in the Project Area and implement
the affordable housing requirement of the CRL.
O. The Implementation Plan in place is current for the applicable five-
year period, and does not require amendment in connection with
this Amendment or other merger proceedings.
P. These proceedings for the merger of all existing project areas have
proceeded pursuant to and in conformity with CRL Section 33486
through the proposed amendment of each affected redevelopment
plan for each constituent project area as provided in Article 12 of
CRL Section 33450, et. seq.
Q. Section 33457.1 of Article 12 provides that to the extent warranted
by a proposed amendment to a redevelopment plan, the reports
and information required by Sections 33352 and 33367 will be
prepared.
R. The Agency prepared and circulated a Negative Declaration on the
proposed Amendment in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code 9 21000 et.
seq.), the Guidelines for Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Title 14, California Code of Regulations,
9 15000 et. seq.), and environmental procedures adopted by the
Agency pursuant thereto.
1113-4
S. The City Council has considered the report and recommendation of
the Planning Commission, the Negative Declaration, the Report to
the City Council by the Agency, the Amendment to the Existing
Plan, has provided an opportunity for all persons to be heard, and
has received and considered all evidence and testimony presented
for or against any and all aspects of the Amendment and has made
written findings in response to each written objection of an affected
property owner or taxing entity, if any, filed with the Clerk of the
Council before or during such joint public hearing.
T. All actions required by law have been taken by all appropriate
public bodies.
Section 2. Based on the evidence in the record, including, but not limited
to, the Agency's Report to the City Council on the Amendment prepared in
accordance with CRL Section 33352, and all documents referenced therein, and
evidence and testimony received at the joint public hearing on adoption of the
Amendment held on September 7, 2004, and the Original Ordinances, the City
Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by
the Amendment:
A. The implementation of the Amendment (and the other amendments
causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the
purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact
that the Amendment is and will be of substantial benefit to the
community and contribute, to the revitalization of blighted areas
through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased
and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial
benefits and feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue
due to the merger.
B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the public
peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate
the purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the
fact that redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the
Merged Project Area as a whole by correcting conditions of blight
and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate
development and improve the economic and physical conditions of
the Merged Project Area including the Project Area.
11 a-5
C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is economically
sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the
Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be
authorized to seek and utilize a variety of potential financing
resources, including property tax increment revenues; that the
nature and timing of public redevelopment assistance within the
Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and
availability of such financing resources, including tax increment
generated by new investment in the Merged Project Area; that
under the Existing Plan and the Amendment no public
redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the Agency can
demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity;
and that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to
the City Council prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that
sufficient financial resources will be available to carry out the
implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow flexibility within
the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs
and respond to market forces more effectively.
D. The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, including, but
not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6
(commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title
7 of the Government Code. This finding is based upon the General
Plan and the findings of the Planning Commission that the
Amendment conforms to the General Plan.
E. Pursuant to CRL Section 33367(d)(6), the condemnation of real
property, if provided for in the redevelopment plan, is necessary to
the execution of the redevelopment plan and adequate provisions
have been made for payment for property to be acquired as
provided by law.
F. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the relocation of
families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or
permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area by
means other than the use of eminent domain. The Agency also
has a feasible method and plan for relocation of businesses. This
finding is based upon the fact that in conjunction with the adoption
of the Original Ordinances, the Agency had prepared a method or
1113-6
plan for relocation of families, persons and businesses that may be
displaced by Agency projects. The relocation plans prepared for
the Project Area, included within the Reports to the City Council
prepared for the Existing Plan and Amendment, provides for
relocation assistance within the Project Area according to law, and
the fact that such assistance, including relocation payments,
constitutes a feasible method for relocation.
G. There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project Area or
within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public
utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices
within the financial means of the families and persons who might be
displaced from the Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary
dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to such
displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their
places of employment. This finding is based upon the provisions of
the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that
families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of
a relocation plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411.1,
and that dwelling units housing persons and families of low or
moderate-income shall not be removed or destroyed prior to the
adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL Sections
33334.5,33413 and 33413.5.
Section 3. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities
will be available within three years from the time residential occupants of the
Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such
facilities, there will be available to any such displaced residential occupants
temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City at the time of
their displacement. This finding is based upon the City Council's finding that no
persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from
residences unless and until there are suitable housing units available and ready
for occupancy by such displaced persons or families at rents comparable to
those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to
the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe,
sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings.
Section 4. Written objections to the Amendment filed with the Clerk of the
Council before the hour set for the hearing on the Amendment and all written and
oral objections presented to the City Council at the hearing having been
considered and, in the case of written objections received from Project Area
1113-7
property owners, occupants and affected taxing agencies having been
responded to in writing, all such objections are hereby overruled.
Section 5. The Existing Plan, as adopted by the Original Ordinances, is
hereby further amended as set forth in the Amendment attached hereto as
Exhibit A. As so amended, the Existing Plan is hereby incorporated herein by
reference. The Executive Director of the Agency is hereby authorized to
combine the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Existing Plan
prepared for the Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Project, and when filed with the
Clerk of the Council and the Secretary of the Agency, shall constitute the official
Redevelopment Plan for the Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Project.
Section 6. In order to implement and facilitate the effectuation of the
Amendment hereby approved, this City Council hereby: (a) pledges its
cooperation in helping to carry out the Amendment, (b) authorizes and directs the
various officials, departments, boards, and agencies of the City having
administrative responsibilities in the Project Area likewise to cooperate to such
end and to exercise their respective functions and powers in a manner consistent
with redevelopment of the Project Area, (c) stands ready to consider and take
appropriate action upon proposals and measures designed to effectuate the
Amendment, and (d) declares its intention to undertake and complete any
proceeding necessary to be carried out by the City under the provisions of the
Amendment.
Section 7. The Clerk of the Council is hereby directed to send a certified
copy of this Ordinance to the Agency, whereupon the Agency is vested with the
responsibility for carrying out the Amendment.
Section 8. The Clerk of the Council is hereby directed to record with the
County Recorder of the County of Orange a statement that proceedings for the
redevelopment of the Project Area, pursuant to the Amendment, have been
instituted under the CRL.
Section 9. If any part of this Ordinance or the Amendment which it
approves is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Amendment, and this
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of the
Ordinance or approved the remainder of the Amendment if such invalid portion
thereof had been deleted.

project areas so that taxes attributable to each constituent project area which are
allocated to the Agency pursuant to CRL Section 33670(b) are allocated to the
entire Merged Project Area for the purpose of paying principal of, and interest on,
indebtedness incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part,
the Merged Project Area; except that any such taxes attributable to any
constituent project area shall first be used to pay indebtedness in compliance
with the terms of any bond resolution or other agreement pledging such taxes
from the constituent project area, which resolution or other agreement was
adopted or approved by the Agency prior to the merging of these projects; and

of the Agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property on which a substantial
number of low and moderate income persons reside and because this
Amendment does not contain additional public projects and does not grant the
Agency authority to fund or develop additional public projects that would displace

Q. Section 33457.1 of Article 12 provides that to the extent
warranted by a proposed amendment to a redevelopment plan, the reports and
information required by Sections 33352 and 33367 will be prepared.
R. The Agency prepared and circulated a Negative Declaration

Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by
the Amendment:
PA0407013.SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104

11 B-14
A. The implementation of the Amendment (and the other
amendments causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the purposes and policies
of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment is and will be
of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the revitalization of
blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased
and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial benefits and
feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue due to the merger.
B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the
public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the
purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that
redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area as a
whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private
actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical
conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project Area.
C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is
economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the
Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be authorized to
seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including property tax
increment revenues; that the nature and timing of public redevelopment
assistance within the Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and
availability of such financing resources~ including tax increment generated by
new investment in the Merged Project Area; that under the Existing Plan and the
Amendment no public redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the
Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and
that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to the City Council
prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that sufficient financial resources will
be available to carry out the implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow
flexibility within the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs
and respond to market forces more effectively.
D. The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan,
including, but not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with
Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Divisio~ 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
This finding is based upon the General Plan and the findings of the Planning
Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan.

19090.003.006108116104
11 B-15
E. The condemnation of real property may be necessary for the
overall execution of the Existing Plan. The Agency has eminent domain authority
within the Project Area and adequate provisions have been made for payment for
property that may be acquired as provided by law. This finding is based upon the
facts set forth in the Existing Plan and the Agency's Report(s) to the City Council
prepared for the Existing Plan, in particular that without eminent domain
authority, the Agency's redevelopment efforts may be impaired. This finding is
further based on the fact that in connection with the acquisition of property by the
Agency, the Agency will comply with all applicable provisions of the California
Eminent Domain Law (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq.),
including provisions requiring the payment of just compensation.
F. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the
relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or
permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area. The Agency
also has a feasible method and plan for relocation of businesses. This finding is
based upon the fact that in conjunction with the adoption of the Original
Ordinances, the Agency had prepared a method or plan for relocation of families,
persons and businesses that may be displaced by Agency projects. The
relocation plans prepared for the Project Area, included within the Reports to the
City Council prepared for the Existing Plan and Amendment, provides for
relocation assistance within the Project Area according to law, and the fact that
such assistance, including relocation payments, constitutes a feasible method for
relocation.
G. There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project
Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public
utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons who might be displaced from the
Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number
of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably
accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the
provisions of the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that
families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation
plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411.1, and that dwelling units
housing persons and families of low or moderate-income shall not be removed or
destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AND
ADOPTING THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE INTER-CITY
COMMUTER STATION REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana ("City Council")
hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") is a community redevelopment agency organized and existing under
the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section
33000, et. seq., ("CRL") and has been authorized to transact business and
exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency pursuant to action of the City
Council.
B. On July 6, 1982, by Ordinance No. NS-1636, the City
Council approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Inter-City
Commuter Station Redevelopment Project ("Project Area") and subsequently
amended the Redevelopment Plan ("Existing Plan") four (4) times to extend plan
effectiveness and eminent domain authority, and establish tax increment and
time limits in compliance with Assembly Bill 1290, Assembly Bill 1342, Senate Bill
1045, and other provisions of the CRL.
C. The ordinances adopting the Existing Plan, as amended
(collectively, the "Original Ordinances"), including the findings and determinations
made by the City Council therein are made part hereof by this reference.
D.
Existing Plan.
The Agency is vested with the responsibility to carry out the
PA0407014:SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.008108/16104
1
11 B-21
E. As a part of this amendment proceeding, the Agency desires
to amend the Existing Plan ("Amendment") to merge the Project Area with the
Central City, North Harbor, South Harbor, South Main, and Bristol Corridor
Redevelopment Projects ("Merged Project Area") to allow the combining of tax
increment revenues from each and all of these constituent project areas so that
taxes attributable to each constituent project area which are allocated to the
Agency pursuant to CRL Section 33670(b) are allocated to the entire Merged
Project Area for the purpose of paying principal of, and interest on, indebtedness
incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Merged
Project Area; except that any such taxes attributable to any constituent project
area shall first be used to pay indebtedness in compliance with the terms of any
bond resolution or other agreement pledging such taxes from the constituent
project area, which resolution or other agreement was adopted or approved by
the Agency prior to the merging of these projects; and except as otherwise noted
above, tax increment revenue attributed to each constituent project may be used
for any lawful purpose in any constituent project now within the Merged Project
Area.
F. Further, the Amendment (as well as the concurrent
amendments to the other constituent project areas) creating the Merged Project
Area will best facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas through economic
vitality and increased and improved housing opportunities pursuant to CRL
Article 16, Section 33485, et. seq.
G. The City Council has received from the Agency the proposed
Amendment, a copy of which is on file at the office of the Clerk of the Council, 20
Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, together with the Agency's Report to
the City Council on the Amendment, including the reasons for the Amendment;
proposed projects and programs; the proposed method of financing the
redevelopment of the Merged Project Area which includes the Project Area; a
method or plan for relocation; the report of the Planning Commission of the City
with respect to the conformity of the Amendment with the General Plan of the
City of Santa Ana ("General Plan"); a neighborhood impact report; a summary of
consultations with Project Area property owners, businesses and community
organizations; and a summary of consultations with affected taxing agencies.
H. A project area committee was not required to be formed in
connection with this Amendment because it does not affect the existing authority
of the Agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property on which a substantial
number of low and moderate income persons reside and because this
PA0407014:SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
2
11 B-22
Amendment does not contain additional public projects and does not grant the
Agency authority to fund or develop additional public projects that would displace
a substantial number of low and moderate income persons.
I. Although this Amendment, and each of the proposed plan
amendments causing the merger, will be considered and adopted separately
pursuant to the CRL to facilitate their consideration, this Amendment and each of
the proposed plan amendments causing the merger have been aggregated and
presented together in a single joint public hearing.
J. The City Council and the Agency held a joint public hearing
on September 7, 2004, on the adoption of the Amendment in the City Council

least four successive weeks prior to the date of such joint public hearing, and a
copy of said notice was mailed, by first class mail, to each last known assessee
of each parcel and to all known residents and businesses located on each parcel
in the Project Area not less than thirty days prior to the date of commencement of
the joint public hearing. Affidavits of such publication and such mailing are on file
with the Clerk of the Council and the Agency.
L. Copies of the notice of joint public hearing were mailed by
certified mail with return receipt requested to the governing body of each affected
taxing agency receiving taxes from property in the Project Area.
M. The Agency, in accordance with CRL Section 33488, has
timely notified the State of California - Department of Housing and Community
Development of its intent to merge the Project Area with the Central City, North
Harbor, South Harbor, South Main and Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Projects.
N. In conformity with the requirements of CRL Section 33490,
the Agency has previously adopted and has in place an implementation plan for
the Existing Plan and each of the constituent project areas ("lmplementation
Plan") that describes the redevelopment project areas, the specific goals and
objectives for the project areas, and the specific programs, including potential
projects and estimated expenditures proposed during the five (5) year term of
such Implementation Plan, and further, the Implementation Plan includes an
explanation of how the goals, objectives, programs, and expenditure will
PA0407014:SNT A:CK:gbd
19090 .003.006108/16104
3
11 B-23
eliminate blight in the Project Area and implement the affordable housing
requirement of the CRL.
O. The Implementation Plan in place is current for the
applicable five-year period, and does not require amendment in connection with
this Amendment or other merger proceedings.
P. These proceedings for the merger of all existing project
areas have proceeded pursuant to and in conformity with CRL Section 33486
through the proposed amendment of each affected redevelopment plan for each
constituent project area as provided in Article 12 of CRL Section 33450, et. seq.
Q. Section 33457.1 of Article 12 provides that to the extent
warranted by a proposed amendment to a redevelopment plan, the reports and
information required by Sections 33352 and 33367 will be prepared.
R. The Agency prepared and circulated a Negative Declaration
on the proposed Amendment in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (Public Resources Code 9 21000 et. seq.), the Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14, California
Code of Regulations, 9 15000 et. seq.), and environmental procedures adopted
by the Agency pursuant thereto.
S. The City Council has considered the report and
recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Negative Declaration, the
Report to the City Council of the Agency, the Amendment to the Existing Plan,
has provided an opportunity for all persons to be heard, and has received and
considered all evidence and testimony presented for or against any and all
aspects of the Amendment and has made written findings in response to each
written objection of an affected property owner or taxing entity, if any, filed with
the Clerk of the Council before or during such joint public hearing.
T. All actions required by law have been taken by all
appropriate public bodies.
SECTION 2. Based on the evidence in the record, including, but not
limited to, the Agency's Report to the City Council on the Amendment prepared in
accordance with CRL Section 33352, and all documents referenced therein, and
evidence and testimony received at the joint public hearing on adoption of the
Amendment held on September 7, 2004, and the Original Ordinances, the City
4
PA0407014:SNT A:CK:gbd
19090 .003.006108/16104
11 B-24
Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by
the Amendment:
A. The implementation of the Amendment (and the other
amendments causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the purposes and policies
of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment is and will be
of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the revitalization of
blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased
and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial benefits and
feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue due to the merger.
B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the
public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the
purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that
redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area as a
whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private
actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical
conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project Area.
C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is
economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the
Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be authorized to
seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including property tax
increment revenues; that the nature and timing of public redevelopment
assistance within the Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and
availability of such financing resources, including tax increment generated by
new investment in the Merged Project Area; that under the Existing Plan and the
Amendment no public redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the
Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and
that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to the City Council
prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that sufficient financial resources will
be available to carry out the implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow
flexibility within the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs
and respond to market forces more effectively.
D. The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan,
including, but not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with
Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
5
PA0407014:SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
11 B-25
This finding is based upon the General Plan and the findings of the Planning
Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan.
E. The condemnation of real property may be necessary for the
overall execution of the Existing Plan. The Agency has eminent domain authority
within the Project Area and adequate provisions have been made for payment for
property that may be acquired as provided by law. This finding is based upon the
facts set forth in the Existing Plan, the subsequent settlement agreement related
to restrictions on the use of eminent domain authority in the Project Area, and the
Agency's Report(s) to the City Council prepared for the Existing Plan, in
particular that without eminent domain authority, the Agency's redevelopment
efforts may be impaired. This finding is further based on the fact that in
connection with the acquisition of property by the Agency, the Agency will comply
with all applicable provisions of the California Eminent Domain Law (Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1230.010 et. seq.), including provisions requiring the payment
of just compensation.
F. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the
relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or
permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area. The Agency
also has a feasible method and plan for relocation of businesses. This finding is
based upon the fact that in conjunction with the adoption of the Original
Ordinances, the Agency had prepared a method or plan for relocation of families,
persons and businesses that may be displaced by Agency projects. The
relocation plans prepared for the Project Area, included within the Reports to the
City Council prepared for the Existing Plan and Amendment, provides for
relocation assistance within the Project Area according to law, and the fact that
such assistance, including relocation payments, constitutes a feasible method for
relocation.
G. There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project
Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public
utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons who might be displaced from the
Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number
of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably
accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the
provisions of the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that
families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation
plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411.1, and that dwelling units
PA0407014:SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
6
11 B-26
housing persons and families of low or moderate-income shall not be removed or
destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL
Sections 33334.5, 33413 and 33413.5.
SECTION 3. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing
facilities will be available within three years from the time residential occupants of
the Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such
facilities, there will be available to any such displaced residential occupants
temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City at the time of
their displacement. This finding is based upon the City Council's finding that no
persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from
residences unless and until there are suitable housing units available and ready
for occupancy by such displaced persons or families at rents comparable to
those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to
the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe,
sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings.
SECTION 4. Written objections to the Amendment filed with the Clerk of
the Council before the hour set for the hearing on the Amendment and all written
and oral objections presented to the City Council at the hearing having been
considered and, in the case of written objections received from Project Area
property owners, occupants and affected taxing agencies having been
responded to in writing, all such objections are hereby overruled.
SECTION 5. The Existing Plan, as adopted by the Original Ordinances, is
hereby further amended as set forth in the Amendment attached hereto as
Exhibit A. As so amended, the Existing Plan is hereby incorporated herein by
reference. The Executive Director of the Agency is hereby authorized to
combine the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Existing Plan
prepared for the Inter-City Commuter Station Redevelopment Project, and when
filed with the Clerk of the Council and the Secretary of the Agency, shall
constitute the official Redevelopment Plan for the Inter-City Commuter Station
Redevelopment Project.

Amendment hereby approved, this City Council hereby: (a) pledges its
cooperation in helping to carry out the Amendment, (b) authorizes and directs the

administrative responsibilities in the Project Area likewise to cooperate to such

HARBOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana ("City Council")
hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") is a community redevelopment agency organized and existing under
the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section
33000, et. seq., ("CRL") and has been authorized to transact business and
exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency pursuant to action of the City

and eminent domain authority, and establish tax increment and time limits in
compliance with Assembly Bill 1290, Assembly Bill 1342, Senate Bill 1045, and
other provisions of the CRL.
C. The ordinances adopting the Existing Plan, as amended

PA0407015.SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.008/08116104
11 B-31
E. As a part of this amendment proceeding, the Agency desires
to amend the Existing Plan ("Amendment") to merge the Project Area with the
Central City, Inter-City Commuter Station, South Harbor, South Main, and Bristol
Corridor Redevelopment Projects ("Merged Project Area") to allow the combining
of tax increment revenues from each and all of these constituent project areas so
that taxes attributable to each constituent project area which are allocated to the
Agency pursuant to CRL Section 33670(b) are allocated to the entire Merged
Project Area for the purpose of paying principal of, and interest on, indebtedness
incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Merged
Project Area; except that any such taxes attributable to any constituent project
area shall first be used to pay indebtedness in compliance with the terms of any
bond resolution or other agreement pledging such taxes from the constituent
project area, which resolution or other agreement was adopted or approved by
the Agency prior to the merging of these projects; and except as otherwise noted
above, tax increment revenue attributed to each constituent project may be used

4 --:..
PA0407015.SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
11 B-34
Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by
the Amendment:
A. The implementation of the Amendment (and the other
amendments causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the purposes and policies
of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment is and will be
of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the revitalization of
blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased
and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial benefits and
feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue due to the merger.
B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the
public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the
purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that
redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area as a
whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private
actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical
conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project Area.
C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is
economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the
Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be authorized to
seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including property tax
increment revenues; that the nature and timing of public redevelopment
assistance within the Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and
availability of such financing resources, including tax increment generated by
new investment in the Merged Project Area; that under the Existing Plan and the
Amendment no public redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the
Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and
that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to the City Council
prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that sufficient financial resources will
be available to carry out the implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow
flexibility within the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs
and respond to market forces more effectively.
D. The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan,
including, but not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with
Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
PA0407015.SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104

11 B-35
This finding is based upon the General Plan and the findings of the Planning
Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan.
E. The condemnation of real property may be necessary for the
overall execution of the Existing Plan. The Agency has eminent domain authority
within the. Project Area and adequate provisions have been made for payment for
property that may be acquired as provided by law. This finding is based upon the
facts set forth in the Existing Plan, the subsequent settlement agreement related
to restrictions on the use of eminent domain authority in the Project Area, and the
Agency's Report(s) to the City Council prepared for the Existing Plan, in
particular that without eminent domain authority, the Agency's redevelopment
efforts may be impaired. This finding is further based on the fact that in
connection with the acquisition of property by the Agency, the Agency will comply
with all applicable provisions of the California Eminent Domain Law (Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1230.010 et. seq.), including provisions requiring the payment
of just compensation.
F. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the
relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or
permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area. The Agency
also has a feasible method and plan for relocation of businesses. This finding is
based upon the fact that in conjunction with the adoption of the Original
Ordinances, the Agency had prepared a method or plan for relocation of families,
persons and businesses that may be displaced by Agency projects. The
relocation plans prepared for the Project Area, included within the Reports to the
City Council prepared for the Existing Plan and Amendment, provides for
relocation assistance within the Project Area according to law, and the fact that
such assistance, including relocation payments, constitutes a feasible method for
relocation.
G. There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project
Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public
utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons who might be displaced from the
Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number
of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably
accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the
provisions of the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that
families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation
plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411.1, and that dwelling units
housing persons and families of low or moderate-income shall not be removed or
PA0407015.SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
6
11 B-36
destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL
Sections 33334.5, 33413 and 33413.5.
SECTION 3. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing
facilities will be available within three years from the time residential occupants of
the Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such
facilities, there will be available to any such displaced residential occupants
temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City at the time of
their displacement. This finding is based upon the City Council's finding that no
persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from
residences unless and until there are suitable housing units available and ready
for occupancy by such displaced persons or families at rents comparable to
those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to
the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe,
sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings.
SECTION 4. Written objections to the Amendment filed with the Clerk of
the Council before the hour set for the hearing on the Amendment and all written
and oral objections presented to the City Council at the hearing having been
considered and, in the case of written objections received from Project Area
property owners, occupants and affected taxing agencies having been
responded to in writing, all such objections are hereby overruled.
SECTION 5. The Existing Plan, as adopted by the Original Ordinances, is
hereby further amended as set forth in the Amendment attached hereto as
Exhibit A. As so amended, the Existing Plan is hereby incorporated herein by
reference. The Executive Director of the Agency is hereby authorized to
combine the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Existing Plan
prepared for the North Harbor Redevelopment Project, and when filed with the
Clerk of the Council and the Secretary of the Agency, shall constitute the official
Redevelopment Plan for the North Harbor Redevelopment Project.

administrative responsibilities in the Project Area likewise to cooperate to such

validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Amendment, and this

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AND
ADOPTING THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SOUTH
HARBOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana ("City Council")
hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") is a community redevelopment agency organized and existing under
the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section
33000, et. seq., ("CRL") and has been authorized to transact business and
exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency pursuant to action of the City
Council.
B. On July 6, 1982, by Ordinance No. NS-1638, the City
Council approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the South Harbor
Redevelopment Project ("Project Area") and subsequently amended the
Redevelopment Plan ("Existing Plan") five (5) times to extend plan effectiveness
and eminent domain authority, and establish financial and time limits in
compliance with Assembly Bill 1290, Assembly Bill 1342, Senate Bill 1045, and
other provisions of the CRL.
C. The ordinances adopting the Existing Plan, as amended
(collectively, the "Original Ordinances"), including the findings and determinations
made by the City Council therein are made part hereof by this reference.
11 B-41
D.
Existing Plan.
LES 8/23/04
The Agency is vested with the responsibility to carry out the
E. As a part of this amendment proceeding, the Agency desires
to amend the Existing Plan ("Amendment") to merge the Project Area with the
Central City, Inter-City Commuter Station, North Harbor, South Main, and Bristol
Corridor Redevelopment Projects ("Merged Project Area") to allow the combining
of tax increment revenues from each and all of these constituent project areas so
that taxes attributable to each constituent project area which are allocated to the
Agency pursuant to CRL Section 33670(b) are allocated to the entire Merged
Project Area for the purpose of paying principal of, and interest on, indebtedness
incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Merged
Project Area; except that any such taxes attributable to any constituent project
area shall first be used to pay indebtedness in compliance with the terms of any
bond resolution or other agreement pledging such taxes from the constituent
project area, which resolution or other agreement was adopted or approved by
the Agency prior to the merging of these projects; and except as otherwise noted
above, tax increment revenue attributed to each constituent project may be used
for any lawful purpose in any constituent project now within the Merged Project
Area.
F. Further, the Amendment (as well as the concurrent
amendments to the other constituent project areas) creating the Merged Project
Area will best facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas through economic
vitality and increased and improved housing opportunities pursuant to CRL
Article 16, Section 33485, et. seq.
G. The City Council has received from the Agency the proposed
Amendment, a copy of which is on file at the office of the Clerk of the Council, 20
Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, together with the Agency's Report to
the City Council on the Amendment, including the reasons for the Amendment;
proposed projects and programs; the proposed method of financing the
redevelopment of the Merged Project Area which includes the Project Area; a
method or plan for relocation; the report of the Planning Commission of the City

LES 8/23/04
consultations with Project Area property owners, businesses and community
organizations; and a summary of consultations with affected taxing agencies.
H. A project area committee was not required to be formed in
connection with this Amendment because it does not affect the existing authority
of the Agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property on which a substantial
number of low and moderate income persons reside and because this
Amendment does not contain additional public projects and does not grant the
Agency authority to fund or develop additional public projects that would displace
a substantial number of low and moderate income persons.
I. Although this Amendment, and each of the proposed plan
amendments causing the merger, will be considered and adopted separately
pursuant to the CRL to facilitate their consideration, this Amendment and each of
the proposed plan amendments causing the merger have been aggregated and
presented together in a single joint public hearing.
J. The City Council and the Agency held a joint public hearing
on September 7, 2004, on the adoption of the Amendment in the City Council
Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California.
K. Notice of said joint public hearing was duly and regularly
published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, once a week for at
least four successive weeks prior to the date of such joint public hearing, and a
copy of said notice was mailed, by first class mail, to each last known assessee
of each parcel and to all known residents and businesses located on each parcel
in the Project Area not less than thirty days prior to the date of commencement of
the joint public hearing. Affidavits of such publication and such mailing are on file
with the Clerk of the Council and the Agency.
L. Copies of the notice of joint public hearing were mailed by
certified mail with return receipt requested to the governing body of each affected
taxing agency receiving taxes from property in the Project Area.
M. The Agency, in accordance with CRL Section 33488, has
timely notified the State of California - Department of Housing and Community
Development of its intent to merge the Project Area with the Central City, Inter-
11 B-43
LES 8/23/04
City Commuter Station, North Harbor, South Main, and Bristol Corridor
Redevelopment Projects.
N. In conformity with the requirements of CRL Section 33490,
the Agency has previously adopted and has in place an implementation plan for
the Existing Plan and each of the constituent project areas ("Implementation
Plan") that describes the redevelopment project areas, the specific goals and
objectives for the project areas, and the specific programs, including potential
projects and estimated expenditures proposed during the five (5) year term of
such Implementation Plan, and further, the Implementation Plan includes an
explanation of how the goals, objectives, programs, and expenditure will
eliminate blight in the Project Area and implement the affordable housing
requirement of the CRL.
O. The Implementation Plan in place is current for the
applicable five-year period, and does not require amendment in connection with
this Amendment or other merger proceedings.
P. These proceedings for the merger of all existing project
areas have proceeded pursuant to and in conformity with CRL Section 33486
through the proposed amendment of each affected redevelopment plan for each
constituent project area as provided in Article 12 of CRL Section 33450, et. seq.
Q. Section 33457.1 of Article 12 provides that to the extent
warranted by a proposed amendment to a redevelopment plan, the reports and
information required by Sections 33352 and 33367 will be prepared.
R. The Agency prepared and circulated a Negative Declaration
on the proposed Amendment in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (Public Resources Code 9 21000 et. seq.), the Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14, California
Code of Regulations, 9 15000 et. seq.), and environmental procedures adopted
by the Agency pursuant thereto.
S. The City Council has considered the report and
recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Negative Declaration, the
Report to the City Council of the Agency, the Amendment to the Existing Plan,
11 B-44
LES 8/23/04
has provided an opportunity for all persons to be heard, and has received and
considered all evidence and testimony presented for or against any and all
aspects of the Amendment and has made written findings in response to each
written objection of an affected property owner or taxing entity, if any, filed with
the Clerk of the Council before or during such joint public hearing.
T. All actions required by law have been taken by all
appropriate public bodies.
SECTION 2. Based on the evidence in the record, including, but not
limited to, the Agency's Report to the City Council on the Amendment prepared in
accordance with CRL Section 33352, and all documents referenced therein, and
evidence and testimony received at the joint public hearing on adoption of the
Amendment held on September 7, 2004, and the Original Ordinances, the City
Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by
the Amendment:
A. The implementation of the Amendment (and the other
amendments causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the purposes and policies
of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment is and will be
of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the revitalization of
blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased
and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial benefits and
feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue due to the merger.
B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the
public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the
purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that
redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area as a
whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private
actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical
conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project Area.
C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is
economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the
Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be authorized to
11 B-45
LES 8/23/04
seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including property tax
increment revenues; that the nature and timing of public redevelopment
assistance within the Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and
availability of such financing resources, including tax increment generated by
new investment in the Merged Project Area; that under the Existing Plan and the
Amendment no public redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the
Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and
that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to the City Council
prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that sufficient financial resources will
be available to carry out the implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow
flexibility within the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs
and respond to market forces more effectively.
D. The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan,
including, but not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with
Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
This finding is based upon the General Plan and the findings of the Planning
Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan.
E. Pursuant to CRL Section 33367(d)(6), the condemnation of
real property, if provided for in the redevelopment plan, is necessary to the
execution of the redevelopment plan and adequate provisions have been made
for payment for property to be acquired as provided by law.
F. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the
relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or
permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area by means other
than the use of eminent domain. The Agency also has a feasible method and
plan for relocation of businesses. This finding is based upon the fact that in
conjunction with the adoption of the Original Ordinances, the Agency had
prepared a method or plan for relocation of families, persons and businesses that
may be displaced by Agency projects. The relocation plans prepared for the
Project Area, included within the Reports to the City Council prepared for the
Existing Plan and Amendment, provides for relocation assistance within the
Project Area according to law, and the fact that such assistance, including
relocation payments, constitutes a feasible method for relocation.
11 B-46
LES 8/23/04
G. There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project
Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public
utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons who might be displaced from the
Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number
of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably
accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the
provisions of the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that
families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation
plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411.1, and that dwelling units
housing persons and families of low or moderate-income shall not be removed or
destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL
Sections 33334.5,33413 and 33413.5.
SECTION 3. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing
facilities will be available within three years from the time residential occupants of
the Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such
facilities, there will be available to any such displaced residential occupants
temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City at the time of
their displacement. This finding is based upon the City Council's finding that no
persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from
residences unless and until there are suitable housing units available and ready
for occupancy by such displaced persons or families at rents comparable to
those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to
the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe,
sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings.
SECTION 4. Written objections to the Amendment filed with the Clerk of
the Council before the hour set for the hearing on the Amendment and all written
and oral objections presented to the City Council at the hearing having been
considered and, in the case of written objections received from Project Area
property owners, occupants and affected taxing agencies having been

ORDINANCE NO. NS-2667
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AND
ADOPTING THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SOUTH MAIN
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana ("City Council")
hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") is a community redevelopment agency organized and existing under
the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section
33000, et. seq., ("CRL") and has been authorized to transact business and
exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency pursuant to action of the City
Council.
B. On July 6, 1982, by Ordinance No. NS-1639, the City
Council approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the South Main
Redevelopment Project ("Project Area") and subsequently amended the
Redevelopment Plan ("Existing Plan") five (5) times to extend plan effectiveness
and eminent domain authority, and establish financial and time limits in
compliance with Assembly Bill 1290, Assembly Bill 1342, Senate Bill 1045, and
other provisions of the CRL.
C. The ordinances adopting the Existing Plan, as amended
(collectively, the "Original Ordinances"), including the findings and determinations
made by the City Council therein are made part hereof by this reference.
D.
Existing Plan.
The Agency is vested with the responsibility to carry out the
PA0407017.SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
11 B-51
E. As a part of this amendment proceeding, the Agency desires
to amend the Existing Plan ("Amendment") to merge the Project Area with the
Central City, Inter-City Commuter Station, North Harbor, South Harbor, and
Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Projects ("Merged Project Area") to allow the
combining of tax increment revenues from each and all of these constituent
project areas so that taxes attributable to each constituent project area which are
allocated to the Agency pursuant to CRL Section 33670(b) are allocated to the
entire Merged Project Area for the purpose of paying principal of, and interest on,
indebtedness incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part,
the Merged Project Area; except that any such taxes attributable to any
constituent project area shall first be used to pay indebtedness in compliance
with the terms of any bond resolution or other agreement pledging such taxes
from the constituent project area, which resolution or other agreement was
adopted or approved by the Agency prior to the merging of these projects; and
except as otherwise noted above, tax increment revenue attributed to each
constituent project may be used for any lawful purpose in any constituent project
now within the Merged Project Area.
F. Further, the Amendment (as well as the concurrent
amendments to the other constituent project areas) creating the Merged Project
Area will best facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas through economic
vitality and increased and improved housing opportunities pursuant to CRL
Article 16, Section 33485, et. seq.
G. The City Council has received from the Agency the proposed
Amendment, a copy of which is on file at the office of the Clerk of the Council, 20
Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, together with the Agency's Report to
the City Council on the Amendment, including the reasons for the Amendment;
proposed projects and programs; the proposed method of financing the
redevelopment of the Merged Project Area which includes the Project Area; a
method or plan for relocation; the report of the Planning Commission of the City
with respect to the conformity of the Amendment with the General Plan of the
City of Santa Ana ("General Plan"); a neighborhood impact report; a summary of
consultations with Project Area property owners, businesses and community
organizations; and a summary of consultations with affected taxing agencies.
H. A project area committee was not required to be formed in
connection with this Amendment because it does not affect the existing authority
of the Agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property on which a substantial
number of low and moderate income persons reside and because this
Amendment does not contain additional public projects and does not grant the
PA0407017.SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104
2
11 B-52
Agency authority to fund or develop additional public projects that would displace
a substantial number of low and moderate income persons.
I. Although this Amendment, and each of the proposed plan
amendments causing the merger, will be considered and adopted separately
pursuant to the CRL to facilitate their consideration, this Amendment and each of
the proposed plan amendments causing the merger have been aggregated and
presented together in a single joint public hearing.
J. The City Council and the Agency held a joint public hearing
on September 7, 2004, on the adoption of the Amendment in the City Council
Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California.
K. Notice of said joint public hearing was duly and regularly
published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, once a week for at
least four successive weeks prior to the date of such joint public hearing, and a
copy of said notice was mailed, by first class mail, to each last known assessee
of each parcel and to all known residents and businesses located on each parcel
in the Project Area not less than thirty days prior to the date of commencement of
the joint public hearing. Affidavits of such publication and such mailing are on file
with the Clerk of the Council and the Agency.
L. Copies of the notice of joint public hearing were mailed by
certified mail with return receipt requested to the governing body of each affected
taxing agency receiving taxes from property in the Project Area.
M. The Agency, in accordance with CRL Section 33488, has
timely notified the State of California - Department of Housing and Community
Development of its intent to merge the Project Area with the Central City, Inter-
City Commuter Station, North Harbor, South Harbor, and Bristol Corridor
Redevelopment Projects.
N. In conformity with the requirements of CRL Section 33490,
the Agency has previously adopted and has in place an implementation plan for
the Existing Plan and each of the constituent project areas ('llmplementation
Plan") that describes the redevelopment project areas, the specific goals and
objectives for the project areas, and the specific programs, including potential
projects and estimated expenditures proposed during the five (5) year term of
such Implementation Plan, and further, the Implementation Plan includes an
explanation of how the goals, objectives, programs, and expenditure will
PA0407017.SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.006108/16104

11 B-53
eliminate blight in the project area and implement the affordable housing
requirement of the CRL.
O. The Implementation Plan in place is current for the
applicable five-year period, and does not require amendment in connection with
this Amendment or other merger proceedings.
P. These proceedings for the merger of all existing project
areas have proceeded pursuant to and in conformity with CRL Section 33486
through the proposed amendment of each affected redevelopment plan for each
constituent project area as provided in Article 12 of CRL Section 33450, et. seq.
Q. Section 33457.1 of Article 12 provides that to the extent
warranted by a proposed amendment to a redevelopment plan, the reports and
information required by Sections 33352 and 33367 will be prepared.
R. The Agency prepared and circulated a Negative Declaration
on the proposed Amendment in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (Public Resources Code 9 21000 et. seq.), the Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14, California
Code of Regulations, 9 15000 et. seq.), and environmental procedures adopted
by the Agency pursuant thereto.
S. The City Council has considered the report and
recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Negative Declaration, the
Report to the City Council of the Agency, the Amendment to the Existing Plan,
has provided an opportunity for all persons to be heard, and has received and
considered all evidence and testimony presented for or against any and all
aspects of the Amendment and has made written findings in response to each
written objection of an affected property owner or taxing entity, if any, filed with
the Clerk of the Council before or during such joint public hearing.
T. All actions required by law have been taken by all
appropriate public bodies.
SECTION 2. Based on the evidence in the record, including, but not
limited to, the Agency's Report to the City Council on the Amendment prepared in
accordance with CRL Section 33352, and all documents referenced therein, and
evidence and testimony received at the joint public hearing on adoption of the
Amendment held on September 7, 2004, and the Original Ordinances, the City
4
PA0407017.SNTA:CK:gbd
19090.003.008/08/16104
11 B-54
Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by
the Amendment:
A. The implementation of the Amendment (and the other
amendments causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the purposes and policies
of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment is and will be
of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the revitalization of
blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased
and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial benefits and
feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue due to the merger.
B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the
public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the
purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that
redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area as a
whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private
actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical
conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project Area.
C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is
economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the
Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be authorized to
seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including property tax
increment revenues; that the nature and timing of public redevelopment
assistance within the Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and
availability of such financing resources, including tax increment generated by
new investment in the Merged Project Area; that under the Existing Plan and the
Amendment no public redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the
Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and
that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to the City Council
prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that sufficient financial resources will
be available to carry out the implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow
flexibility within the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs
and respond to market forces more effectively.
D. The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan,
including, but not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with
Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
5
PA0407017.SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.008108/16104
11 B-55
This finding is based upon the General Plan and the findings of the Planning
Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan.
E. The condemnation of real property may be necessary for the
overall execution of the Existing Plan. The Agency has eminent domain authority
within the Project Area and adequate provisions have been made for payment for
property that may be acquired as provided by law. This finding is based upon the
facts set forth in the Existing Plan, the subsequent settlement agreement related
to restrictions on the use of eminent domain authority in the Project Area, and the
Agency's Report(s) to the City Council prepared for the Existing Plan, in
particular that without eminent domain authority, the Agency's redevelopment
efforts may be impaired. This finding is further based on the fact that in
connection with the acquisition of property by the Agency, the Agency will comply
with all applicable provisions of the California Eminent Domain Law (Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1230.010 et. seq.), including provisions requiring the payment
of just compensation.
F. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the
relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or
permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area. The Agency
also has a feasible method and plan for relocation of businesses. This finding is
based upon the fact that in conjunction with the adoption of the Original
Ordinances, the Agency had prepared a method or plan for relocation of families,
persons and businesses that may be displaced by Agency projects. The
relocation plans prepared for the Project Area, included within the Reports to the
City Council prepared for the Existing Plan and Amendment, provides for
relocation assistance within the Project Area according to law, and the fact that
such assistance, including relocation payments, constitutes a feasible method for
relocation.
G. There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project
Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public
utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons who might be displaced from the
Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number
of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably
accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the
provisions of the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that
families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation
plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411.1, and that dwelling units
housing persons and families of low or moderate-income shall not be removed or
6
PA0407017.SNT A:CK:gbd
19090.003.008/08/16104
11 B-56
destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL
Sections 33334.5,33413 and 33413.5.
SECTION 3. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing
facilities will be available within three years from the time residential occupants of
the Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such
facilities, there will be available to any such displaced residential occupants
temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City at the time of
their displacement. This finding is based upon the City Council's finding that no
persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from
residences unless and until there are suitable housing units available and ready
for occupancy by such displaced persons or families at rents comparable to
those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to
the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe,
sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings.
SECTION 4. Written objections to the Amendment filed with the Clerk of
the Council before the hour set for the hearing on the Amendment and all written
and oral objections presented to the City Council at the hearing having been
considered and, in the case of written. objections received from Project Area
property owners, occupants and affected taxing agencies having been
responded to in writing, all such objections are hereby overruled.
SECTION 5. The Existing Plan, as adopted by the Original Ordinances, is
hereby further amended as set forth in the Amendment attached hereto as
Exhibit A. As so amended, the Existing Plan is hereby incorporated herein by
reference. The Executive Director of the Agency is hereby authorized to
combine the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Existing Plan
prepared for the South Main Redevelopment Project, and when filed with the
Clerk of the Council and the Secretary of the Agency, shall constitute the official
Redevelopment Plan for the South Main Redevelopment Project.

Amendment hereby approved, this City Council hereby: (a) pledges its
cooperation in helping to carry out the Amendment, (b) authorizes and directs the
various officials, departments, boards, and agencies of the City having
administrative responsibilities in the Project Area likewise to cooperate to such
end and to exercise their respective functions and powers in a manner consistent

certified copy of this Ordinance to the Agency, whereupon the Agency is vested
with the responsibility for carrying out the Amendment.
SECTION 8. The Clerk of the Council is hereby directed to record with the
County Recorder of the County of Orange a statement that proceedings for the
redevelopment of the Project Area, pursuant to the Amendment, have been
instituted under the CRL.
SECTION 9. If any part of this Ordinance or the Amendment which it
approves is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Amendment, and this
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of the
Ordinance or approved the remainder of the Amendment if such invalid portion
thereof had been deleted.
