[5500J METHODS FOR FINANCING 'rEE PROJECT A. [5501] GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED FINANCING ~illTHODS The Agency is authorized to finance this Project with financial assistance from the City, State of California, property tax increments, interest income, Agency bonds or any other available source, public or private. Advances and loans for survey and planning and for the operating capital for nominal administration of this Project have been and are to be provided by the City until adequate tax incre- ments or other funds are available or sufficiently assured to repay the loans and to permit borrowing adequate working capital from sources other than the City. The City as it is able may also supply additional assistance through City loans and grants for various public facilities. -17- As available, gas tax funds from the State of California and the County of Los Angeles will be used for the street system. Also all or a portion of the parking may be installed through a parking authority or otherwise. The Agency is authorized to issue bonds from time-to-time if it deems appropriate to do so. The Agency is authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds and create indebtedness in carrying out this Plan. The principal and interest on $~ch advances, funds and indebtedness may be paid from tax increments- or any other funds available to the Agency. B. [5502] TAX INCREHENTS All taxes levied upon taxable property within the Project area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, City of Arcadia, any district or other public corporation (hereinafter sometimes called "taxing agencies") after the effective date of the ordinance approving this Redevelop- ment Plan, shall be divided as follows: (1) That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of said taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the Redevelopment Project as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency, last equalized prior to the effective date of such ordinance, shall be allocated to 'and when collected shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said taxing agencies on all other property are paid (for the purpose of allocating taxes levied by or for any taxing agency or agencies which did not include the territory of the Project on the effective date of such ordinance but to which such territory is annexed or otherwise included after such effective date, the assessment roll last equalized on the effective date of said ordinance shall be used in determining the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the Project on said effective date) I and (2) That portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of such amount shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into a special fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on bonds, loans, monies advanced to, or indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, this Redevelopment Project. Unless and until the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project exceeds the total -18- assessed value of the taxable property in the Project as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in paragraph (1) hereof, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. When said bonds, loans, advances and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all monies thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. The portion of taxes mentioned in paragraph (2), above, are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the advance of monies, or making of loans, or the incurring of any indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed or otherwise) by the Agency to finance or refinance the Project in whole or in part. The Agency 15 authorized to make such pledges as to specific advances, loans and indebtedness as appropriate in carrying out the Project. C. [5503] OTHER LOANS AND GW\NTS Any other loans, grants, guarantees or financial assistance from the United states or any other public or private source may be utilized if available. , VI. [5600J ACTIONS BY THE CITY The City shall aid and cooperate with the Agency in carrying out this Plan and shall take all actions necessary to ensure the continued fulfillment of the purposes of this Plan and to prevent the recurrence or spread in the area of conditions causing blight. Action by the City may include, but is not limited to, the following: A. Institution and completion of proceedings for opening, closing, vacating, widening or changing the grades of streets, alleys and other public rights-of-way, and for other necessary modifications of the streets, the street layout and other public rights-of-way in the Project area. Such action by the City shall include the requirements of abandonment and relocation by the public utility companies of their operations in public rights-of- way as appropriate to carry out this Plan. B. Institution and completion of proceedings necessary for changes and improvements in publicly owned public utilities within or affecting the Project area. -19- C. Revision of .the zoning within the Project area to permit the land uses and development authorized by this Plan. D. Performance of the above, and of all other functions and services relating to public health, safety and physical development normally rendered in accordance with a schedule which will permit the redevelopment of the Project area to be commenced and carried. to completion without unnecessary delays. VII. [3700) ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLAN The administration and enforcement of this Plan including the preparation and execution of any documents implementing this Plan shall be performed by the Agency and/or the City. When reference is made in this Plan to the Executive Director concerning acts to be performed under this Plan, such acts shall be performed by the Executive Director or his nominee. The provisions of this Plan or other documents entered into pursuant to this Plan may also be enforced by court litigation instituted by either the Agency or the City. Such remedies may include but are not limited to specific performance, damages, re-entry, injunctions or any other remedies appropriate to the purposes of this Plan. In addition, any recorded provisions which are expressly for the benefit of owners of property in the Project area may be enforced by such owners. VIII. [3800) PROCEDURE FOR AMENDMENT This Plan may be amended by means of the procedure established in Sections 33450-33458 of the Community Redevelopment Law or by any other procedure established by law. IX. [3900) NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT ELEMENT The Project area does contain low and moderate-income housing. The impact of the Project upon the residents of the Project area and surrounding areas has been described with specificity in the draft Environmental Impact Report which the Agency has prepared as the lead agency in this Project and placed on file with the City Clerk in conjunction with this Plan. Relocation: By using rehabilitation of existing structures through owner participation agreements, the Agency plans to minimize relocation of residential owners and occupants. If, however, parcels are needed for the construction of public improvements or to successfully implement this Plan, relocation will be unavoid- able. No specific estimate can be made at this time of the number of parcels and residents that could be so affected. -20- Traffic Circulation: Traffic circulation in residential areas, while generally adequate, requires some modification. Construction and installation of pedestrain walkways and signal devices will increase safety in these areas. The installation of adequate arterial traffic controls and the provision for increased parking and the improvements to be made to First Avenue will encourage more commercially oriented circulation in the commercial use areas along First Avenue, Huntington Drive and Duarte Road. The provision of railroad over and underpasses will increase vehicular and pedestrian safety while providing for better traffic circulation. Environmental Qualitf: The short run impact of the Project may be negative because 0 the traffic, noise and debris associated with rehabilitation and construction. However, after the develop- ment is completed, the aesthetic improvements throughout the Project, coupled with the decrease in traffic circulation in the residential areas and the provisions for the installation of pedestrian walkways and signal devices and adequate arterial traffic controls, will be significant improvements of environmental quality. Availabilit of Communit Facilities and Services: Improved trafflc clrculatlon wlll permlt greater access to t e municipal services within and without the Project area. Sidewalks to be installed will definitely improve pedestrian movement and safety. Improvements to the Arcadia County Park will expand and make more available and accessible community facilities and services in the Project area and in the community. . The development of new commercial uses and the development of the Fashion Park Regional Shopping Center will create convenient and additional shopping and services to both the Project area and the City of Arcadia. of Education: The use 0 reha 1 ltatlon 0 eXlstlng resl entla dwe lngs ln conjunc- tion with the development of multi-family dwellings, where such uses are permitted (which multi-family residential uses are antici- pated to produce a lesser impact on school population than single- family residential uses), indicate that the Project will have little effect on the school population. Property Assessments and Taxes: The improvements to real property will probably result in higher assessed values. The increase will probably be greater for commercial use properties and presently undeveloped property than for properties with existing residential uses. Because of recent property tax reform legisla- tion, no accurate projection of tax rates can be made. The intent of such legislation, however, was to reduce real property tax rates. -21- Other Matters Affecting the Physical and Social Quality of the Neighborhood: To the extent that portions of the Project area are underdeveloped and improvements projects are currently under construction or committed, change and development are going to come in the Project area notwithstanding the adoption of a redevelopment plan for the area. The adoption of a redevelopment plan and its implementation by the Agenc~ in cooperation with other entitie~ including the Project Area Committee, are means of assuring community control of the manner in which the inevitable changes will effect the physical and social quality of the neighborhood. -22- Central Redevelopment Project .~......- ...... ---- ......... ---- ......
