As Recommended ? As Amended ? Ordinance on 1" Reading ? Ordinance on 2nd Reading ? Implementing Resolution ? Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Approve a resolution for the updated Target Employment Area in the Enterprise Zone. DISCUSSION A Target Employment Area (TEA) is an area within a city that is composed solely of those census tracts that have at least fifty-one percent of its residents at low or moderate income levels. Its purpose is to encourage businesses in an Enterprise Zone (EZ) to hire eligible residents from these local geographic areas. The incentive for these businesses is the availability of a tax credit for hiring these residents. Although Enterprise Zones are being eliminated as of December 31, 2013 pursuant to recently enacted legislation (Assembly Bill 93 and Senate Bill 90), EZ's will still be able to process vouchers for the remainder of the year and possibly into 2014 for employees hired in 2013. In order for staff to continue issuing vouchers based on TEA criteria, Santa Ana is required to update its current TEA. To establish a TEA, an EZ must submit an annual application for TEA designation to the State of California's Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). The application must clearly identify the TEA census tracts that have been provided by HCD and must include a certified resolution approving the boundaries of the TEA. FISCAL IMPACT This is no fiscal impact associated with this action. 55B-1 EZ - Target Employment Area August 5, 2013 Page 2 Si Sandra D.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. On January 31, 2008, the City of Santa Ana was re-designated as a California Enterprise Zone. This designation was to be in effect for fifteen (15) years. B. Pursuant to recently enacted Assembly Bill 93 and Senate Bill 90, all Enterprise Zones will sunset January 1, 2014. Enterprise Zones will still be able to process vouchers for the remainder of the year and possibly into 2014 for employees hired in 2013 (awaiting determination by State of California). C. The California Enterprise Zone Program targets economically distressed areas using special state and local incentives to promote business investment and job creation. By encouraging entrepreneurship and employer growth, the program strives to create and sustain economic expansion in California communities. D. Section 7072(1) of the California Government Code defines a "Targeted Employment Area" ("TEA") as an area within a city that is composed solely of those census tracts that have at least fifty-one percent (51%) of its residents at low- or moderate-income levels. Its purpose, according to the Code, is to encourage businesses in an enterprise zone to hire eligible residents from these geographic areas. The incentive for these businesses is the availability of a tax credit for hiring residents who reside in a TEA. Resolution No. 2013-XXX 556-5 Page 1 of 2 E. To establish a TEA, an Enterprise Zone must submit an application for TEA designation to the Housing and Community Development Department. The application must clearly identify the census tracts that will constitute the proposed TEA and demonstrate that they meet the eligible criteria. The application must include a certified resolution which approves the boundaries of its TEA. In addition, cities must review and update their TEA boundaries to reflect the most recent census data in order to continue issuing vouchers. Section 2.
