AGENCY DECLARING THAT THE AGENCY IS UNABLE TO SET ASIDE 20% OR LESS
• OF ITS 1994-95 TAX INCREMENT FOR LOW/MODERATE INCOME HOUSING DUE TO-

SUMMARY:
California State Assembly Bill AB265 requires that Redevelopment Agencies set aside
20% of their annual tax increment into a Housing Fund for low and moderate income
housing. Twenty percent of the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency's tax increment is
estimated to be $420,000 in FY 1995-96.
AB265 permits the Agency to make findings that it is not able to set aside all or part
of the 20% into the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund if existing Redevelopment
Agency obligations, projects, programs or activities in any fiscal year prior to FY
1996-97 do not permit such.
Redevelopment Agencies are required to make findings annually regarding the
availability of funds to be set aside in that fiscal year for the Low and Moderate
Income Housing.Fund. Resolution No. ARA-177 (attached) makes findings that due to
the , Agency's existing obligations, projects and activities (e.g., the Fifth Avenue
Project, Downtown 2000 Program, Southwest Corner Project, Northwest. Corner
Project, bonded- indebtedness, Economic Development Division operations and
administration), no funds can be aside into a Low and Moderate Income Housing
Fund for FY 1995-96.
If this, action is approved, a copy of the attached Resolution shall be mailed to the
State Department of Housing and Community Development within - 10 days after
adoption.
