REQUEST FOR THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE REVISED LONG -RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN OF THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SUCCESSOR AGENCY, OR HIS DESIGNEE, TO FINALIZE, EXECUTE, AND TRANSMIT SAID PLAN AT LEAST FIVE BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 2015 Comments: Under the redevelopment dissolution statute AB X1 26, as amended, and specifically pursuant to Health & Safety Code section 34191.5, the Successor Agency is required to submit a long -range property management plan at least five business days before December 31, 2015. Staff has been investigating and negotiating with the California Department of Finance. However, with the passage of SB 107 on September 22, 2015, the Successor Agency accelerated its investigation and negotiation and proposed to provide an attached long -range property management plan under Health & Safety Code section 34191.5 (the "LRPMP "). Concurrently with the submittal of the LRPMP, the Successor Agency proposes the submittal of an installment payment plan ( "Installment Plan ") and request for finding of completion ( "FOC Request") as a separate item. The Installment Plan and FOC Request were approved on December 1, 2015 and an agreement has been reached with documentation in the process. The LRPMP was previously approved but due to revisions to the disposition of the landlocked Imperial and Atlantic property and mulch yard Josephine and Atlantic property, staff recommends a confirmation of the dispositions in the revised LRPMP. Recommendation: Staff recommends the Oversight Board approve the attached resolution entitled: " A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SUCCESSOR AGENCY APPROVING THE REVISED LONG -RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PAYMENT PLAN UNDER 2 HEALTH & SAFETY CODE SECTION 34191.5 AND AUTHORIZING THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SUCCESSOR AGENCY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OR HIS DESIGNEE, TO CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE, FINALIZE, EXECUTE, AND TIMELY TRANSMIT THE LONG -RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN."

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Members of the Board of Directors of the Oversight Board to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency (Oversight Board) approve a resolution approving the submittal of the revised long -range property management plan of the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency to the California Department of Finance and authorize the Executive Director of the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency, or his designee, to finalize, execute, and transmit said plan at least five business days before December 31, 2015. Background: Under the redevelopment dissolution statute AB X1 26, as amended, and specifically pursuant to Health & Safety Code section 34191.5, the Successor Agency is required to submit a long -range property management plan at least five business days before December 31, 2015. Staff has been investigating and negotiating with the California Department of Finance. However, with the passage of SB 107 on September 22, 2015, the Successor Agency accelerated its investigation and negotiation and proposed to provide an attached long -range property management plan under Health & Safety Code section 34191.5 (the "LRPMP "). Concurrently with the submittal of the LRPMP, t¢6-- Successor Agency proposes the submittal of an installment payment plan ( "Installm- ntAGENE Plan ") and request for finding of completion ( "FOC Request") as a separate item. T e ITEM D Installment Plan and FOC Request were approved on December 1, 2015 and an agreement has been reached with documentation in the process. The LRPMP was previously approved but due to revisions to the disposition of the landlocked Imperial and Atlantic property and mulch yard Josephine and Atlantic property, staff recommends a confirmation of the dispositions in the revised LRPMP. Discussion & Analysis: Long Range Property Management Plan As noted in the attached form of LRPMP, the Successor Agency proposes to dispose of the properties in its inventory according to AB X1 26, as amended. Specifically, Health & Safety Code section 34191.5(c) (2) provides the Successor Agency various options for disposition of property as noted therein. After some negotiation with the California Department of Finance ( "Finance "), staff determined there is merit to dispose of the Successor Agency properties under the revised LRPMP and submit said plan at least five business days prior to December 31, 2015 or December 17, 2015 at the latest to allow for Finance to respond accordingly and move forward with implementing AB X1 26, as amended. Finance and staff recommend the landlocked parcel at Imperial and Atlantic be listed for sale and if it is not successful that the property be then used for a government -type use under the future redevelopment option; Finance and staff also recommend the mulch yard at Josephine and Atlantic be used for a government -type use under the future redevelopment option. As part of this resolution, staff is suggesting the Executive Director, or his designee, be given discretion to continue to negotiate the documents to assure all the interests of the Successor Agency are preserved and protected. Conclusion Staff recommends the Oversight Board approve the attached resolution, approve the revised the LRPMP, and authorize the Successor Agency Executive Director or his designee to continue to negotiate, finalize, and timely transmit the LRPMP accordingly.

Summary of Plan Category Decision The Redevelopment Plan for Lynwood Project Area "A" ( "Redevelopment Plan"), was duly approved and adopted on July 3, 1973 by Ordinance No. 945 and subsequently amended on December 27, 1973 by Ordinance No. 960, on August 19, 1975 by Ordinance No. 990, on June 1, 1976 by Ordinance No. 1000, on December 7, 1976 by Ordinance No. 1010, on December 16, 1980 by Ordinance No. 1111, July 19, 1988 by Ordinance No. 88- 1308, and on March 20, 2001 by Ordinance No. 1504. In accordance with the 81" Redevelopment Plan Amendment, evidenced by Ordinance No. 1504, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency ( "Agency ") engaged in activities necessary to execute and implement the Redevelopment Plan for Area "A" in the City of Lynwood and in order to do so the Agency identified certain goals and objectives relative to the disposition and use of properties located within Redevelopment Project Area `A' (Area `A'). In this regard, redevelopment activities consisting of clearance of existing structures, development of affordable housing and commercial business, installation of necessary public improvements and rehabilitation of residential, commercial and public structures, will result in the creation of a significant number of jobs which will become available to community residents. It is contemplated that such jobs will range from entry level to management, with the additional construction activity. Moreover, development of the type aforementioned will also serve to eliminate a substantial amount of blighted conditions typifying and plaguing the Project Area. In addition, it is anticipated that the proposed projects will eliminate other non - conforming elements. PART II: PROPERTY DISPOSITION & USE The goals objectives relative to the properties identified in this management plan include but are not limited to the following: 1. Improve the range and quality of housing in the Project Area through a combination of rehabilitation, move -on housing, and new construction with specific emphasis on conserving or preserving residential uses in the Project Area; 2. The provision of land for recreational, community, educational and commercial facilities and services to meet the need of Area `A' including the rehabilitation of Dymally (now Lynwood) Park. 3. The return of a large part of under- developed and vacant Project Area lands to greater residential use; 4. Provide assistance in the construction of public improvement necessary for the development of new single family housing within and outside of the Project Area and for various commercial and industrial developments where necessary. The accompanying 5yr Implementation Plan (2009 -2014 version) in accordance with the requirements of Health & Safety Code Section 33490, incorporates the goals and objective of the Redevelopment Plan to accommodate the more current needs of the Project Area including, but not limited to: 1. Remove impediments to development and facilitate public /private partnership opportunities to create commercial and residential development that will contribute to the economic vitality of the project area, particularly along Atlantic Avenue, and Long Beach Boulevard; 2. Consolidate fragmented and irregularly configured lots to maximize retail opportunities. 3. Capitalize on opportunities presented by the Metro Blue Line rail system and other regional transportation systems to support regional needs. 4. Encourage and stimulate investment in underutilized commercial areas through land assembly, site preparation, DDAs, grants, and infrastructure improvements. 5. Create active pedestrian shopping and entertainment districts, including gateway projects for Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach Boulevard, and Martin Luther King Boulevard 6. Ensure a wide range of quality housing choices, including mixed -use and affordable housing developments, through new construction, rehabilitation, and conservation of existing residential uses to address housing needs of the community, including the homeless population. 7. Provide ownership and rental housing in compliance with existing and anticipated legal obligations. 8. Contribute to the City's efforts to meet its fair share of the regions low and moderate - income housing needs. PART II: PROPERTY DISPOSITION & USE PROGRAM CHANGES: Also stated as part of the Plan, the Implementation Plan identifies the most probable implementation activities over the period between FY 10 /11 and FY 14/15. Other, unforeseen, public and private projects may become feasible and beneficial in eliminating blight or providing housing, it may be necessary to make changes to programs and activities and to the priorities assigned to those programs and activities. Whether or not identified in the Implementation Plan, projects and programs may be constructed or funded by the Agency during the period covered by this Implementation Plan, if the agency finds that: 1. The goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plans are furthered; 2. Specific conditions of physical or economic blight within the Project areas will be mitigated in whole or in part through implementation of the project; and 3. Project specific conditions, including financial feasibility, require the implementation of the project at the time in question. In light of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency and our ever changing economy, we request the ability to reserve the stated right to address the use of included properties to best suit the current needs of the Community in accordance with stated goals and objectives for the Redevelopment Plan. Implementation Steps The following summarizes the steps to transfer the properties as government use, or for future development Government Use The Successor Agency, upon approval of this LRPMP, promptly will affect the transfer of the government use properties to the City of Lynwood by grant deed with the express governmental use designations identified for each government use property. Use for an Enforceable Obligation, or in the alternative Government Use The Successor Agency, upon approval of this LRPMP, promptly will determine if three properties are to be used to fulfill an enforceable obligation; should this not be feasible or appropriate, the property is to be transferred for government use to the City of Lynwood by grant deed with the express governmental use designations identified for each government use property. For Sale or if not feasible or otherwise unsuccessful, to be Retained for Future Development under Health & Safety Code section 34191.5(c)(2) While there are no properties allocated for sale, this category will be further analyzed for proper disposition for third party sales to maximize values. Given the unique nature of the development opportunities and parties approaching the City, the City is likely to negotiate development agreements and the sales of the Successor Agency properties will likely be to third parties with some form of a purchase and sale agreement or similar non- statutory development agreement generated to maximize value for the taxing entities —the City is among the taxing entities. However, if the sales and/or negotiations are not feasible or otherwise unsuccessful, those properties will be retained for future development. Properties to be Retained for Development — Guidelines for Future Development While there are no properties allocated for future development, this category contains the appropriate steps. Upon transfer pursuant to this LRPMP, as noted above, the City will cause the properties to be developed in accordance with the following principals and guidelines: 1. Qualified Real Estate Developer. Each property will be disposed of to a qualified real estate developer (Developer) with the experience and financial capability to timely acquire and develop the property in accordance with an approved Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) or other type of agreement. The Developer will be selected through an appropriate selection process involving solicitation of interested prospective developers through a request for qualifications (RFQ), Request for Proposals (RFP), qualified bid or similar selection process. 2. DDA or Other Type of Agreement. Each property will be disposed of and developed pursuant to an approved DDA. The purchase price or lease payments to be paid by the Developer of each property under the DDA will equal not less than either the fair market value of the property or the fair reuse value of the property at the use and with covenants and conditions and the development costs authorized pursuant to the DDA, as determined by formal action of the Successor Agency. Among other provisions, each DDA will require the Developer to: a. Meet specified pre - disposition conditions demonstrating its readiness and ability to commence construction; b. Develop the property in accordance with the General Plan and the specific land use entitlements granted by the City; and c. Commence and complete construction of the approved development within specified deadlines. 3. Legislative Body Approval. The Developer, the DDA and any substantial amendment to the DDA for each property will be subject to approval by the City Council at a public meeting duly noticed in accordance with the notices and procedures described in Health and Safety Code Section 33433(a). While the timing of disposition and development of each property will depend on market conditions and interest of the private real estate development and financing community, it is currently anticipated that such disposition and development may occur generally in accordance with the following process: Implementation Steps Once the properties are transferred to the Yd party, the land sale proceeds will be distributed amongst the Taxing Entities Planned Use & Disposition of each Property NEXT PAGE (A) REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 8 (B) REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA "A" LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Prepared by: THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD NOVEMBER 2000 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION PAGE 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Reasons for Selecting the Project Area 1 1.2 Specific Projects Proposed 2 1.3 How These Projects Will Aid the Project Area 7 1.4 Why Public Improvements Will Not Be Installed By Private Ente rprise Alone 10 13 2.0.

Wagner 6 Associates, Inc. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 3 November, 2000 The City, through previous studies and examinations of the Existing Project, and additional studies of areas adjacent to the Existing Project Area, conducted by the Lyrnaood Redevelopment Agency leading to this amendment process, has recognized that the soclal and economic needs of the community, in its near and long tern nature, are not presently being met. All available resources, both public and private, must be utilized in an effort to fully realize the objectives and desires of its citizens as expressed in the existing Redevelopment Plan. In recognition of the lack of motivation offered to the private sector to invest in blighted areas, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency has approved redevelopment of the areas illustrated in Figure 2 and further described in the legal description included in prior Amendments. The inclusion of these areas in the redevelopment project permits the City of Lynwood to activate the tools to alleviate existing social, economic and structural conditions, which detract from the well being of the citizens of the City of Lynwood. Amendment No. 8 will provide additional opportunity both for new development and for the rehabilitation, maintenance and creation of low and moderate- income housing. There are several reason for the selection of the Project Area. First, the Project Area continues to be blighted. For a considerable period of time citizens and government officials of the City of Lynwood have been aware of the adverse conditions of the existing residential, commercial and Industrial uses within n the Project Area boundaries. The negative conditions in the Project Area have contributed to the physical deterioration or certain structures and infrastructure; a lack of proper utilization of the area; a decline in the economic viability of the area; reduced values; impaired investments; and the presence of economic and social maladjustment The result has been a serious physical and economic burden on the community, which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. The existing conditions in the Project Area are by structural deterioration and age, a Preponderance of mixed and shifting uses and existing inefficient and uncoordinated commercial uses, parking, vehicular and pedestrian deficiencies, an appearance of decline and other defects in the Area. A detailed description of Conditions in the Project Area can be found in Section 2.0 this report. Marty of the parcels in the Project Area exhibit a complete or growing lack of economically Productive utilization. Other properties exhibit structures, which are deficient or unsuitable for their existing commercial, residential, or industrial uses. The age, obsolescence and deterioration of structures Coupled with the economic decline within the Project Area results in serious physical and economic liabilities. Third, the inclusion of the Project Area is necessary for effective redevelopment and will provide the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency with the opportunity to address improvements to the deficiencies existing In the Project Area in a master plan approach rather than a "piece meal" fashion. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. is Page 4 November, 2000 CL .7 144 W-k1L-FI Z- RE N, CL Owe. *—L-z-�RTMRK r 7/11,1.11 1;' - ! ; ! F ................. .. ........

The Amendment wig also allow for redevelopment on a complete street basis, rather than on a patchwork basis. if the Agency is required to work on a pate basis redevelopment will be hampered and impaired and the Redevelopment Plan will not be implemented to its fullest potential as has been previously envisioned. The continued power of eminent domain will enhance the Agency's site assembly capability and ability to improve the areas in the Project Area. In many cases, the Area win provide for more continuity in planning and assisting new development in the Project Area. In addition, the Amendment will in many cases allow for effective buffering between uses, especially the more intense uses of the Project Area and the mare sensitive uses of the areas away from main streets. Finally, the Amendment WU provide opportunities for low and moderate income and replacement housing. The selection of the Project Area boundaries was guided by City staff, the Lynwood General Plan, speck examples of structural and economic blight and the following facts and principles; 1. The desire to revitalize and upgrade the commercial, residential and industrial areas within the Project Area in order to increase sales, property and business tax revenues; provide adequate roadways and adequate parking; reduce the cost of providing city services; create jobs; create economic stability and promote improvements that win assist in the redevelopment efforts to make the City of Lynwood a better place to live, work, shop and recreate. 2. The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be achieved within the Project Area through the - removal or rehabilitation of physically obsolete or substandard structures and other physical blighting influences; the elimination of illegal or nonconforming land uses; the rehabilitation of existing commercial buildings; the Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters sidewalks and other associated public improvements as permitted by the Lynwood General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; the construction andtor reconstruction of various flood control and drainage facilities; the assemblage of land into parcels suitable for properly integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; and the general development and redevelopment of the Project Area in a manner consistent with the ;.policies and goals of the Lynwood General Plan. The redevelopment of the Project Area would implement the California Redevelopment Law. The basis for implementing the Redevelopment Law can be stated if follows: a) Redevelopment will provide and make significant improvements to certain public facilities and services in the Project Area in order to reduce the continuing process of deterioration which cannot be: provided through private action without redevelopment b) Redevelopment will provide a means to assist existing land and structure users in Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page t3 November. 2000 maintaining, upgrading and improving their property. c) Redevelopment will provide a means of eliminating or rehabilitating deteriorating and under- utilized commercial structures and other blighting influences which constitute poor environments in which to live, work and shop thereby increasing property values and the incentives for private maintenance and improvement. d) Redevelopment will provide a means to revitalize and upgrade many commercial land uses within the Project Area. e) The Project Area is continuing to reflect signs of economic blight caused by properties which suffer from economic disuse due to impaired investments; properties which suffer from the usefulness and development; parcels existence irregular f inadequate public facilities, improvements or utilities and traffic congestion problems. Redevelopment provides a means to address these problems. f) The Project Area continues to reflect and structural blight such as buildings which are unfit to occupy because of obsolescence, deterioration-, mixed character-and shifting commercial uses. Redevelopment provides a means to address these problems. 9) The Project Area exhibits various conditions of blight and continues with deteriorated condition, these blight conditions collectively dominate and injuriously affect the Project Area such that the area is blighted as a whole. Redevelopment provides a means to address these problems. h) Further, the Amendment of the Project Area will provide greater opportunity for the development, maintenance and rehabilitation of the Project Area. i) The blight conditions constitute a serious physical and economic burden to the City. Redevelopment will provide a means to reduce or eliminate this burden. j) The City has the desire to improve the Project Area in order that the blighting conditions, which constitute physical and economic liabilities can be reduced or eliminated In the interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City of Lynwood. Redevelopment will provide a means to address these problems. k) The blight conditions, which exist in the Project Area are a real hindrance to the without Public assistance- commercial Redevelopment will provide a means to be remove this hindrance. 1.2 Specific Projects Proposed A description of the specific projects presently being proposed by the Agency is outlined below. The Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight within the Project Area by continuing the following actions: Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 7 November, 2000 1. Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, :iublitles curbs gutters, sidewalks, handicap ramps, and other public improvements as permitted in accordance with the Lynwood General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 2. Construction and/or reconstruction of flood control and stomi drainage facilities. I Provision and/or upgrading of traffic signals, channelization, lighting and signing of various intersections and correction of other existing circulation deficiencies within the Project Area. 4. Undergrounding of utilities within the Project Area. 5. Improvement and development of recreational facilities, parks and community centers. 6. Construction and improvement of community facilities. 7. Construction and improvement of vehicle parking facilities. 8. Improvement of streetscapes, signage, medians and urban design features. 9. Purchase of land and construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of structures. 10. Rehabilitation assistance. 11. Low and moderate income housing assistance. Other Programs The proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 for the project seeks increased stability, integration, and economic vitality. The Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 will make tools available to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency to reverse blighting influences and establish the Project Area as a viable development area of the community. The Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 does not propose to alter the land uses as currently permitted. Land uses permitted within the Project Area are those consistent with the 1990 General Plan, (as may be amended), devoted to a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses with stable neighborhoods of rehabilitated single-family and multi- family homes, The Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 will provide the acquisition tools available to implement the revitalization strategies for improved access and establishment of viable development sites to create a physical environment that fact s an land uses as planned and helps to define the area as a key area of the City. The foUawing programs are Proposed to ber continued to address the blighting conditions of the Project Area. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 8 November, 21100 Land Assembly Program To facilitate the assembly of parcels into marketable development sites, the Agency proposes to selectively acquire land through negotiated purchaser or eminent domain, that It deems appropriate for land assembly. Where properties and structures are deemed adequately sized for appropriate land uses, and where existing structures are suitable for rehabilitation, and where property owners wish to participate in the Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8, land acquisition is not anticipated. To ensure that uniform, fair, and equitable treatment is afforded persons families, and businesses displaced as a result of future acquisition of properties, the Agency will provide relocation assistance and payments required by law. Relocation assistance is required of the Agency to ensure consistent and fair treatment for such persons, families, and businesses and to ensure they do not suffer disproportionate injury as a result of the proposed redevelopment programs designed for the benefit of the public as a whole. Owner Participation Program The Agency proposes to continue the owner participation program t4 assist existing ss owners in the redevelopment, rehabilitation, expansion, and development of business properties. The program may include providing loans and other forms of assistance for business Improvement and expansion as may be necessary and desirable. Low And Moderate Income Housing The Agency proposes to continue to provide a low and moderate income housing program that focuses on Increasing, improving, and preserving, the Community's supply of tow and moderate income housing. Programs may include, but are not limited to, housing rehabilitation, infill housing development, and assistance for first time homebuyers in the Project Area and with Proper findings by the City Council in nearby neighborhoods zoned for residential, or within the community. To remedy the deteriorating condition of homes in the Project Area, a concentrated residential rehabilitation program is proposed for the neighborhoods zoned for residential use. The Agency also proposes to aid the construction of low and moderate income housing on vacant residentially zoned parcels within the Project Area, Business Revitalization and Attraction Programs The Redevelopment Agency is successfully implementing business revitalization programs in the Project Area that will be continued. One example of these programs is the Facade Improvement Program, which offers low interest loans for eligible facade improvements, up to a maximum amount, and low interest loans for other exterior and interior improvements to existing businesses (commercial rehabilitation). This assistance would be targeted to commercial corridors and it could be a key ingredient to turning a declining retail area around. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 9 November, 2000 Discretionary programs As funds become available, the Agency proposes to assist in other efforts that may include owner participation, business expansion assistance, revitalization, business attraction, and marketing. 1.3 How the Project Will Aid the Project Area The implementation Of the proposed projects will improve or alleviate deteriorated, physical, social and economic conditions in the project Area.

A central concern in the Project Area is its outdated parcelization and aging building structures in much of the Project Area. This deficiency creates a poor investment Gimate, which in turn causes physical and economic blighting conditions as discussed in this Report. The above projects and programs combined will facilitate development by the private sector with the Project Area to be realized as a viable community. The proposed projects and programs including the anticipated related activities will help to alleviate the following physical and economic blighting conditions of the Project Area: Unsafe and Unhealthy Buildings, and Other Factors The Agencys efforts to facilitate new development and rehabilitation programs would result in an improvement to the building stock of the Project Area. Additionally, residential rehabilitation programs would improve the condition of residential units The Agencys proposed program and projects will address these deficiencies and the spin -off effects will bring back economic vitaFty. Unsafe and unhealthy buildings, and those exhibiting substandard design will be replaced or rehabilitated resulting in renewed investment interest. Other site condition deficiencies will also be addressed with programs to facilitate rehabilitation of existing properties such as facade Improvements assistance an rehabilitation initiatives. d other Parking Deficiencies and Lack of Economic Vitality Lot consolidations win create sites with adequate space for parking, truck loading and space and related development needs. New development will comply with City Code requirements, and help reduce cases of graffiti, security bars, litter, and debris, and correct signage and fencing deficiencies. Circulation and capital improvement programs will help to remedy circulation and infrastructure deficiencies in the Project Area. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 11 November, 2000 Land Use Incompatibilities The Agency will attempt to remove confiding and incompatible land uses from the Project Area. This will occur when commercial and industrial owners and developers agree by Disposition and Development Agreement or Owner Participation Agreement to undertake new or expanded projects. Any related acquisition of residential property will be by negotiated agreement as provided in the Plan, Persons who occupy the acquired units would be relocated to more appropriate residential areas. The Agency's relocation plan Provides the resources to rind housing and the funding to aid in the relocation of persons and families. The Agency provides relocation services for residents to relocate to more residentially compatible sites within the Project Area and within surrounding neighborhoods. Parcels of Irregular Form and Size In Multiple Ownership The Agency's land assembly program is intended to consolidate parcels that are considered too small for modem residential, commercial or industrial development. In many cases small and underutilized tots are adjoIrMg, but are held under separate ownership. Adequately sized sites would be created through Agency efforts. Property Values and Impaired Investments New development will add value to the tax roll, encourage further development which will In turn generate demand for Project Area properties and increase property vakre, The Agency's program of lot consolidation and circulation and capital €mprovement programs will fac€litate new development. Vacancies, Lease Rates, and Excessive Vacant Lots Project Area vacancy rates are not extremely high, however, lease rates are abnormally low. The development of new residential, commercial and industrial uses will bring demand to the Project Area, which will occupy space and drive up rents to normal levels. New development will be encouraged thereby utilizing available infill lots as development sites. Residential Overcrowding Should residents be displaced as a result of Agency activities, services would be provided whereby persons and families living in overcrowded ffi conditions would e relocated to b b adequate housing. The Agency relocation programs require that repwoWd housing be of sufficient size to adequately accommodate the number of persons d €splaced. Crime Increased development interest, additional businesses, patrons and activity, and general publictpdvate investment will have an indirect Impact on the high crime rate. Criminal activity is expected to lessen with renewed interest and revitalization. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a page 12 November, 2000 Although the Agency may not have the ability to directly remove all of the blight within the Project Area, the activities of the Agency will provide the stimulus by which blighting conditions will be lessened and private investment reestablished. 1.4 Why Public Improvements Will Not Be installed By Private Enterprise Alone The public improvements, intended to be undertaken by the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency cannot be reasonably expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone. An examination of the Project Area shows a predominance of marginal businesses whose financial capabilities are unlikely to be strong enough to underwrite the substantial cost of the scheduled public improvements. Vacant store fronts and marginal businesses such as small motels, barber shops, beauty shops, beer bars, small markets, automotive after market uses and other small uses, generally exhibit inferior maintenance and upkeep predominate throughout the Project Area. This condition and the size and nature of the businesses indicate an inability or lack of motivation for private enterprise to provide the necessary financial resources to accomplish the installation of needed public improvements as well as other improvements. Significant financial resources are necessary to install the required public improvements and to successfully upgrade the Project Area. New development or rehabili bon by the private sector will not be of such magnitude that a developer will provide the listed improvements or any of them without being assisted by the Agency. The unwillingness and inability of private enterprise to undertake such actions has caused continued deterioration in the Project Area, and aused stagnation in the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. The proposed A Permit the Agency to master plan Its approach to the Project Area's deficien mendment will cies and more effectively encourage private enterprise to contribute to the area's revitalization. Private provision of the public improvements is also unlikely in light of the difficulty which a developer would face In assembling even a moderately -sized site for rehabilitation or a new development. Most lots in the Project Area are relatively small in size, held by hundreds of small property owners and difficult if not impossible for private enterprise to assemble sufficiently to justify substantial expenditures for needed infrastructure[ improvements. An examination of the revitalization of other older declining commercial, industrial and residential areas of nearby communities which are remarkably similar to fhe Project Area reveals that private enterprise is being attracted to those areas by the assistance a of public agencies, empowered to provide the necessary financial resources to make redevelopment economically attractive to private enterprise. Perhaps the most visible indication that private enterprise acting alone will not provide public improvements in the Project Area is unless public assistance was pres that such improvements have not been installed in the past that The limited resources, the size and scope of new development, and the difficulties in assembling any area of sufficient size to generate finances required for the provision of public improvement, all demonstrate the difficulties facing those who would provide such improvements without assistance. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 13 November, 2000 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Project Area "A ", which includes portions of most of the city's major thoroughfares, is the larger of the two Project Areas. Originally set up in July 1973 and consisting of 20.8 acres, the Project Area now totals 734 acres and Incorporates narrow strips of primarily office, industrial, residential, and retail properties. Project Area "A" encompasses several of the city's largest taxpayers and largest employers. Land use is diverse, with 4o% office. 23% industrial, 20% residential, 13% retail, and 4% other uses. Secured property accounts for 92% of Project Area tax revenue, followed by unsecured and unitary at 7% and 1 %, respectively. Incremental assessed value (AV) growth has varied dramatically over the past several years; since fiscal 1995, total incremental AV is down 13.3 %. Valuation grew strong at first (14.8% in 1997), but rose slowly in fiscal 1999 (0.9 %). Meanwhile granted appeals and reassessments outpaced underlying growth and new construction in fiscal 1998 and 1998, causing declines of 4.1% and a severe 19.4 %, respectively. The slow incremental AV growth in fiscal 1999 is attributed to valuation reductions of more than 4.5% of the fiscal year total. Eight major assessment appeals were resolved for fiscal 1999 The city estimates an additional 1.3% reduction for pending appeals with a potential impact in fiscal 1999. There are also several significant appeals outstanding vMth a combined potential impact of 1.7% of projected fiscal 2000 incremental AV. Net of projected fiscal 2000 adjustments, incremental AV is projected to grow 1.1%. No further appeals or reassessments are anticipated. Transportation systems serving Lynwood Include the Metro Blue Line rail system to the west, and the Century Freeway (Interstate 105) near the subject property to the south. This freeway links the subject neighborhood with the Long Beach Freeway (Interstate 710) to the east, as well as the Harbor Freeway (interstate 110) and the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405) to the west. Additionally, the Century Freeway provides convenient access to Los Angeles International Airport. The Downey -EI- Segundo Transit System Line through the City (passengers only) began operation in mid -1993. The bus system is provided by the Metro Transit and the Lynwood Trolley. The area's 10 largest taxpayers are a moderately diverse group and represent a good 14.8% of total Project Area "A" assessed value. Major taxpayers include two shopping centers, a supermarket, an office building, residential development, and several manufacturing and warehouse facilities. 2.1 Blighting Conditions at Time of Adoption The Agency set out in 1973 to redevelop a blighted area, which contained under - utilized properties and burned out buildings. Agency activities address the blighted conditions resulting in a viable, active and stable area with safe, affordable housing and successful commercial development The Agency's goals and objectives and program expenditure goals are to continue the area improvements that began in 1973, as well as to prevent the recurrence or re- introduction of blight. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 14 November, 2000 Between 1980 and 1988 only two developments were negotiated with developers. At that time the Report to Council for Amendment No. 6 noted that development along Long Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, Imperial Highway and Century Boulevard was not keeping pace to alleviate the continuing decline. The large Industrial section also reflected the continued inability of private resources to alter the condition of blight Negative conditions were also noted in the residential areas, A detailed description of the blighting conditions for each subarea of Amendment No. 6 was included in the Report to Council which concluded that many of the Parcels exhibited a oomplete or growing lack of economic prod, obsolesence and deterioration uctivity, that many structures were deficient or unsuitable for their existing uses and that age of structures coupled with economic decline resulted in serious physical and economic liabilities. A profile of the structures in 1987 indicated that 79.1 percent were Aged or Deteriorating, 5.3 percent were Substantially Deteriorated and 2.9 percent were Dilapidated. Only 12.7 percent were Sound. Along the major thoroughfares of Atlantic and. Long Beach there are old motel buildings that are being utilized for permanent residency and residential structures that are being used for commercial uses. These converted commercial uses provide very We off street parking and the motels show insufficient setbacks, and buffers and are sub stsAdard building designs to house permanent residents. These converted structures have not been successfully upgraded or maintained intemally or externally. The result is an inconsistent physical condition, poor maintenance, overcrowding, building code violations and lack of storage space. Except for fast food operations, most of the commercial properties are working out of buildings which are too narrow and long for modem retail development. Lads of sufficient parking is prevalent in almost all of these older buildings. These defects discourage retail trade and force the owner to shift to heavier commercial used adversely affecting adjacent residential uses.. Most of the loading docks servicing these buildings are in disrepair. Most of the lots are of bufferstbetween conflicting land uses. �In portions theaProjectrArea residents are located immediately adjacent to heavy industrial uses. Many of the Project Area streets are among the oldest In the City and have deteriorated with age and increased use. Needed improvements include reconstruction and resurfacing, sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, street widening, signafization upgrading, and other improvements to promote public safety and economic viability. Alleys parallel to major streets are in extremely poor condition and are unlit at night. Many are subject to flooding. There are several inadequacies in the sewer system, the most critical of which is the continued use of septic tanks. Throughout the Project Area, lighting deficiencies range from the need for replacement of substandard lighting to the installation of new lighting where if is currently non- existent. The City only has .8 acres of recreational space per 1,000 population. Most Cities have standards of a minimum of 2 acres per 1,000. The City of growing In population but Is suffering from a reduced sales tax base. This indicates Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 15 November, 2000 that most of the commercial properties in the City are suffering a failure to be used property, The maladjustment of the area, in both terms of people and money is very evident from a Physical examination of the structures. Structures, which are not being utilized properly, are evidence of monetary expenditures which are made for the wrong purposes at the wrong times. The most common crimes reported in the City are those committed against property. Including burglaries and thefts. Crime in the City of Lynwood is significantly higher than the County average. Population Characteristics The U.S. Bureau of the Census established that In 1990, the Population estimates published by the State of California, Department of of the an'ce on January 2000 reported that the population has increased to 69,328, Table 1 represents a summary of the population's growth trends.

U.S. 'Census Bureau Household Composition According to 1980 Census data, the City was made up of 14,158 households. Forty nine (49.39 %) percent of all households are owner- ocCupants and approximately fifty (50.61%) Percent of ail households are renters, In 2000, the State of California DOF calculated the number of households at 14,390 This increase of 232 households is a very small increase in the number of households (1.63%). However, the overall population increased by approximately twelve(12) percent. The average household size in 1990 was 4,288 persons per household. Based upon the estimated growth of the population, 4.737 persons is the size of the average household in 2000, This represents an increase In the number of persons per household, and demonstrates a need for the construction of housing that is suitable for large family households. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 76 November, 2000 It is estimated that family households make -up approximately eighty eight (88.33%) percent of the total. Five (5.71 %) percent are non - family households and two (2.24 %) are group home households. It is estimated that the population is comprised of fifty (50.64%) percent males and fifty (49.36%) percent females. It's estimated that the type of households are as follows; Single mate - 5.38% Single female -6.38% Married Couple -,55.09% Other family - male headed - 8.66% Other family - female headed - 19.54% Non - family - male headed - 3.28% Non - family - female headed - 1.67% It IS estimated that there are 9,497 households with children. These households are; Married Couple - 66.63% Other family - male headed - 9.10% Other family - female headed - 23.65% Non family -.62% 2.2 Past Accomplishments In spite of severe negative impacts to the Project resulting from the economic downturn, of the early 1990's including reductions In property values, the Agency was able to assist with the development of the following projects: 1. Atlantic Boulevard Townhouse Proiecr the Bounded by Olanda on the south and Carlin Ave. on I . 2. Town nter Pro ect The construction of a new 36 acre shopping center with a gross building area of 277,076 sq. ft, and up to 1,813 parking spaces situated just north of the 1- 105 Century Freeway, Long Beach Blvd. and Imperial Highway. The Towne Center consist of: (i) Food For Less Market, (li) Thrifty Drug Store, and (iii) Travel -Lodge Motel. 3.

Bus Shelters- The City of Lynwood, in order to stimulate access to transportation services, has constructed bus shelters on the major streets in the City.

Areas in close proximity to this Freeway $ access ramps, have exhibited signs of rejuvenation as new construction and businesses have appeared. An example of redevelopment north of the Cenhuy Freeway is the Lynwood Town Center and the existing Marketplace neighborhood shopping centers k>cated at the southwest comer of Atlantic Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard. Conxnercial devekupments south of the Century land Freeway vary in age from the lly in f io the 1980'91 where the overall quality and condition of the improved properties are generally inferdor to those of the subject neighbour Clearly, the Redevelopment Agency's implementation Plan has played an important role in Lynwood's overall economic development strategy. Redevelopment can be viewed as one critical loop in an array of incentives designed to attract desirable new business, thereby strengthening and diversifying the local economic base, while at the same time retaining key parcels of land for commercial/Industrial established, existing companies in the community. Redevelopment enables a city to assemble commercial/Industrial and residential develop resources through the issuance of tax allocation bonds, offer rehabilitatio ment, pool financial n loans to upgrade Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 18 November, 2000 business and residential properties, and provide necessary capital for essential public infrastructure improvements. The City of Lynwood has realized the need to target economic development activities toward job growth, expansion and diversificabon of the local tax base, business attraction and retention, revitailzation of geographically specific commercial and industrial areas, and the provision of affordable housing to support the local labor pool. Toward these ends, the Redevelopment Plans governing the individual Project Areas reflect language pertaining to the achievement of specific economic development goals and objectives. Among the more notable recent accomplishments, which have resulted from the City's economic development activities to date are the following completed and/or ongoing projects: • Lynwood Towne Center • Lynwood Marketplace • Value Plus Plaza • Vestar Development • Denny's RDR Group • Lynwood Plaza • Long Beach Pluma Project • Sunset Homes • Emerald Village • Edge Brook Development • Curry Temple Development • Sares Regis Group • Imperial Alameda Industrial • Access Community Housing • Staub Metals • SELAC Residential Development In recent years, as the City's economic development efforts became more highly refined, the Community Development Department has undertaken progressive new economic development Programs, whose specific mission is to retain and attract business. The program has one fundamental and overriding aim - "to provide Lynwood businesses with a sek program of programs and partnership opportunities to make their business enterprises the most competitive in Southern California." Among the many incentives offered to business prospects by the are the following: • Redevelopment financial incentives; • Site selection assistance; • Energy efficiency strategies; • Environmental compliance assistance; and • Pennit processing assistance. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 19 November, 2000 Redevelopment is most effective as an incentive to the extent that it can be fully integrated into a comprehensive community economic development strategy. The current Lynwood program exemplifies one essential element of such a program, where business and government can actively work together toward the attainment of common economic development goals. The Agency's 5 -year Implementation Plan provides another very important part, serving as a blueprint for long -term planning in this critical area. 2.4 Status of Blighting Conditions The Project Area has been recognized as an area requiring substantial public economic development incentives, as well as human resources and various services programs in on to eliminate the blighting conditions plaguing the Project Area. As such, the spec projects and proposed expenditures set forth below have to date, been the primary projects and expenditures employed to address the blighting conditions of the Project Area. Substantial rehabilitation activity has occurred within the Project Area through Agency provided loans and grants to property owners. The proposed public improvements also win serve to address the blighting influence of vacations inefficient circulation systems not conducive to re sidential and commercial development. Street and the assignment of unneeded public rights- of- way'for new and expanded residential and commercial use wlp help remove physical blight and eliminate the illegal use of underutilized and unimproved streets for dumping of trash and debris. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 20 November, 2000 3.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 3.1 Goals and Objectives The Redevelopment goals set forth in 1973, collectively, address elimination of blight by calling for a series of redevelopment strategies. Redevelopment activities have begun to transform the once physically and economically blighted area of Project Area "A" into a modem Multiethnic community working together to achieve its goals. The activities are not yet compl eted. The specific projects and proposed expenditures are intended to achieve further progress. In this regard, the proposed redevelopment activities consisting of the acquisition of real Property, the demolition and clearance of certain existing strictures development of affordable housing and commercial business, installation of necessary public improvements and rehabilitation of residential, commercial and public structures, will result in the creation of a significant number of jobs which will become available to community residents. it is contemplated that such jobs will range from entry level to management, with the additional construction activity. It is also anticipated that a significant number of jobs will also be created in the area of construction. Moreover, development of the type aforementioned will also serve to eliminate a substantial amount of the blighted conditions typifying land plaguing the Project Area. In addition, it is anticipated that the proposed Projects will eliminate small parceUtation and other non- conforming zoning elements. Specific project goals are as follows; 1. The. improvement of the range and quality of housing in the Project Area through a combination of rehabilitation, move -on housing, and new construction, with specific emphasis on conserving or preserving residential uses in the project Area; 2. The elimination of economic and environmental deficiencies caused by extremely deep single lots and the creation of reasonably sized and shaped parcels through are - design d street system; 3. The provision of land for recreational, community, educational and commercial facilities and services to meet the needs of the Project "A" area, including the rehabilitatron of the Dymaily Park; 4. The return of a large part of the under- developed and vacant Project Area land to greater residential use; 5. The employment of focal residents in the construction and operation of various developments and other Redevelopment Plan implementing activities; and 6. Encourage and stimulate investment in businesses within the Project Area. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No, 6 Page 21 November, 2000 3.2 Programs and Objectives This Implementation Plan and the projects listed below are designed to reflect efforts of the Agency to alleviate physical and economic blight by establishing a comprehensive redevelopment strategy as a catalyst for community development within the Project Area and is not intended in anyway to pre- approve or limit the projects or activities the Agency may seek to finance or carry out during the term of the Redevelopment Plan. inole Family and Ho wM: Provide assistance for the construction of public improvements necessary for the development of new single family housing within and outside of the Project Area. Such housing development shag consist of property owners and local developers converting vacant property into affordable and decent housing which vdN be of benef0 to the Project Area. Expenditures necessary to cant' out the public improvements for the subject housing activities are estimated to be $700,000 over the next 5 years. Z Infill Housing• Assist in the construction of new infill housing development, which shah include the coordination and cooperation with property owners and local developers to turn vacant lots into affordable and decent housing for low and moderate income families on scattered sites both within and outside the Project Area which will be of benefit to the Project Area. Expenditures anticipated to fulfill this project activity over the next 5 years is $300,000. 3. Residential Rehabilitation• Provide tow-interest bans for the rehabilitation of residential Properties outside of the Project Area, to coordinate with new housing development and to visually improve the physical image of the area. Expenditures for this rehabilitation activity are estimated to be $400,000 over the next 5 years. Due to the limited amount of housing within the Project Area no Agency assistance is contemplated for residential rehabilitation within the Project Area over the next 5 years. 4. Commercial Development: Provide financial assistance for the rehabilitation of one hundred ( 100) commercial structures within the Project Area. There are three specific areas targeted for this assistance. These areas consist of the Imperial Highway commercial corridor, the Atlantic Avenue commercial corridor and the Long Beach Boulevard commercial corridor. Expenditures for these activities are presently estimated at $750,000 over the next 5 years.. 5. Industriaf/Manufacturina• Provide assistance for the expansion of existing industrial manufacturing users and the creation of additional employment opportunities at the existing facilities. 6. Marketplace Develoomerrt• Provide for the development of a 160,000 square feet of new retail space on Long Beads Boulevard and Imperial Highway. it is estimated that this development will create an additional 450 jobs within the Project Area at a cost of approximately $7,500,000 to the Agency over the next 2 years.

Anticipated expenditures for these studies over the next 5 years is $100,000. 8. Public Imorovements:_Provide assistance in the construction of public improvements necessary for the development of new single family housing within and outside of the Project Area as set forth above and for various commercial and industrial developments where necessary. Expenditures required for the construction of the subject public improvements is estimated to be $1,000,000 over the next 5 years. 3.3 Housing Programs Projects with a residential component address a fundamental redevelopment purpose, the Provision of housing for all income groups and populations. Projects will serve populatona with special housing needs for whom housing options are now limited within the Project Area with vicinity. Housing for very low, low and moderate - income households addresses-a long- standing need and will serve as a link to other redevelopment efforts to create jobs. 1. increase. improve and ernand the 4.n.,r„ ,.f i ...., ......,_ rarrcouns 03;ss4 d ana =34.61. California's Community. Redevelopment Law, as amended by AB 1290, requires that an amount equal to 20% of tax increment generated by a project area must be set aside for the specific purpose of increasing or improving the community's supply of very low, and low and moderate income housing. The amount of tax increment available from the Project Areas is generally $1,358,797. The amount of tax increment to be set aside is approximately $270,000 per year. The amount expected to be generated over the next five years is $1,360,000. -All housing described above, which wil be financed by the Set-Aside funds will be subject to the income and affordability requirements of the law and subject to recorded covenants evidencing such very-low, or low and moderate income and affordability restrictions for the longest feasible time, but not less than the period required by state law and Agency policy. 2. Proportion of Very Low Low and Moderate Income Housing f OLn 33334 4i The Agency's plan Is that the housing units to be developed or rehabilitated will be affordable to very -tow, low or moderate Income households in the following proportions: not less than thirty percent (30 %) very low income; not more than thirty percent (30 %) moderate income; and the remainder low income. The proportion of very low- and low -income units exceeds the respective unmet need for affordable housing for those groups in the City of Lynwood. Therefore, expenditures to assist housing for persons of low and very low Income will be in at least the same proportion as the total number of housing units needed for those income groups which are not being provided by other governmental programs within the Lynwood community. 3. Estimate of Hniminn orm.,P #iA.. C:....— ....A 11__ uses of )L The current estimated housing production figures Housing Set -Aside Trust Funds are discussed as follows: Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 26 November, 2000 • New development of housing in the Project Area on one or more vacant or underutilized lots. The Agency's plan is to spend approximately $1,000,000) over the next 5 years to assist in new construction of up to 40 affordable housing units in the Project Area, which will be restricted to low and moderate income families. • Rehabilitation of one or more residential structures that do not meet current housing codes. The Agency plans to spend approximately $350,000 over the next 5 year period to assist in the substantial rehabilitation of approximately one hundred (70) units of housing that will be restricted to low and moderate income families. 4. Replacement Housing (Section 33413 (a)j_ As portions of Project Area "A" were added to the Project Area subsequent to January 1, 1978, the effective date of Section 33413, the replacement housing provisions of Section 33413 (a) apply to the Project Area "A" Redevelopment Project; pursuant to which, the Agency is required to replace all dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income destroyed or removed as part of a written agreement executed by the Agency within four (4) years following such destruction or removal. Plan implementation activity by the Agency within the Project Area for the next 5 years which results in the removal or destruction of any low or moderate income dwelling units will be done so in accordanbe with the replacement housing requirements of Section 33413. B. Inclusionary Housing (Section 33413 (b)1 In addition to the replacement housing requirements set forth above In Section 4, the Project Area "A" Redevelopment Plan is also subject to the inclusionary housing requirements of 33413(b), pursuant to which, at least 30"/0 of all new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed by the Agency and at least 15% non- Agency developed dwelling units within the Project Area must be made available to persons and families of low or moderate income at affordable housing costs. Moreover, not less than 50% of the dwelling units developed by the Agency and 40% of the non- Agency developed units must also be made available and occupied by very low income households. Compliance with all inclusionary housing requirements, to the extent applicable, is contemplated by the Agency with respect to all housing developments as set forth in its Inckrsionary Housing Compliance Plan for the Project Area. Housing Production The Final EIR In 1988 for Amendment No. 6 for Project Area "A" indicates that there will be a decrease of 32 dwelling units over the life of the Redevelopment Plan. This would result in the removal of 11 units each 10 years. Since preparation of the Final EIR the City has concluded that it has an excess of commercial property and is using some of these properties for residential development as follows: Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 27 November, 2000 Developer TYDe Units PriciaQ Ran Sunset Homes Emerald Village Single Family Single Family 8 units $145,000- $165,000 Medan Edgebrook Single Family 65 units 18 units $152,950- $1e2,950 $150,000 $1ti0,00D Median Median Curry Temple Access Community Single Family Single Family 1 unit 2 $150,000- $160,000 Median Le Francis Single Family units 7 units $155,000 $150,000 Median Median SELAC Multi - Family 23 units $98,000 - $101,000 Low Total 197 units The income levels for affordable housing in the City of Lynwood are the following price ranges for rent and sales: Rent ales Price Very Low $641 $82,509 Low $770 $115,513 Median $1,283 $165,019 Moderate $1,411 $181,521 Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 28 November, 2000 4.0 METHODS OF FINANCING THE PROJECT 4.1 Project Costs The redevelopment program described in Amendment No. 6 and No. 7 outlines a set of activities to be implemented by the Agency over the life of the Redevelopment Program for the purpose Of facilitating private reinvestment in the Project and eliminating physical and economic blighting influences, and increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. During the next first five years the Agency will continue these programs as funding from tax increment and other sources becomes available. Public Improvements The reconstruction, replacement or installation of public facilities and infrastructure in blighted areas of the Project is the goal of this implementation activity. The provision of improved public facilities and Infrestructure can address the problem of a disproportionate lack d such improvements in the Project and provide a stimulus for new and rehabilitated residential, industrial and commercial development. Redevelopment opportunities propose the provision is capital indu for Infrastructure improvements such as streetscape improvements (curbs, gutters and sideuralks), sewer improvements, water improvements, storm sewer improvements or street refurerslyp a to support future catalyst projects and other desired development activities. Land Assembly, Clearance & Relocation Opportunities for land assembly, clearance, disposition, and development participation will continue to be implemented in the Project Area to eliminate unsafe and unhealthy buildings, eliminate land use conflicts and improve obsolete, under utilized or vacant properties. The elimination of tend use conflicts can help facilitate Compallbillty of uses between adjacent or nearby properties. The redevelopment of obsolete, under utilized or vacant properties can help to address problems of building obsolescence, unsafe buildings and small parcels In multiple ownership. The program costs could include land acquisition, relocation, site clearance and related closing costs. Business Attraction, Retention & Expansion The inability of the Project to retain existing businesses and attract new businesses is reflected in the Project's commercial vacancies and lack of new development activity. Business attraction, retention and expansion activities will continue to be implemented in the Project Area. The program costs could include or the finding of small business revolving loan funds for such Purposes as facade improvements and property rehabilitation. Low and Moderate Income Housing Program The Agency is required to deposit 20 percent of gross tax increment revenues agocated to the Agency into a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for the purposes of increasing, improving and preserving the community s supply of low and moderate income housing. Among the potential Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 29 November, 2000 activities that will continue to be implemented under this program, are home ownership stimulation and the construction, rehabilitation or conservation of new affordable housing units. Administration The Agencys start up and ongoing administration of the redevelopment program includes staff salaries, services and supplies necessary for the operation and oversight of the Project Area. 4,2. Use of Financing Alternatives The City of Lynwood and the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency have considered the use of other alternative sources of financing and have determined that there are not enough resources to accomplish the removal of the blighting conditions within the Project Area using those resources. Financing, other than tax increment financing, considered includes the following: Assessment Districts. This method of financing would be appropriate for the Installation of needed public improvements. This method while appropriate for some projects in the City, was rejected because the assessments would have to be repaid primarily by low and moderate income property owners or marginal business owners. These bw and moderate income residents need discretionary income for needed improvements to their properties and additional assessments would be a burden to these owners and reduce already very limited dollars for improvements. The assessments would be a significant burden to marginal businesses. The City wants to encourage economic development, not reduce it. Grants. The State and Federal government are reducing grants to cities nationwide and statewide. The grants that are available are going to the types of programs that the Agency Is Proposing; there Is just not enough help for blighted and lower income areas. Mortgage Revenue Bonds. The ability to issue mortgage revenue bonds at lower rates of interest has been greatly reduced by the federal government, These programs were able to Provide lower interest mortgage money for new developments, but-this has been significantly reduced Property Tax Rates. With the passage of Proposition 13 the property tax rates have been limited to one percent of market value. The City no longer has the ability to levy increased Property tax rates. Developer Fees. The City could initiate developer fees to pay for needed project Improvements. This method was rejected because 1) there is not much development in the Project Area and 2) what development there is the City does not want to jeopardize by making it economically infeasible to accomplish. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 30 November, 2000 4.3 Financing Methods The Plan Amendment is prepared with the intent of continuing to provide the Agency with the necessary legal authority and flexibility to implement the redevelopment of the Project. The Plan authorizes the Agency to finance the Project with financial assistance from any or all of the following sources: (1) City of Lynwood; (2) State of California; (3) federal government; (4) tax increment funds in accordance with provisions of the existing CRL; (5) Agency bonds; (8) interest income; (7) loans from private financial institutions; (8) lease or sale of Agency -owned property; (9) donations; and (10) any other legally available pubic or private sources. Current provisions of the CRL provide authority to the Agency to create indebtedness, issue bonds, borrow funds or obtain advances in implemenUng and carrying out the specific intents of a Redevelopment Plan. The Agency is authorized to fund the principal and interest on the indebtedness, bond issues, borrowed funds or advances from tax increment revenue and any Other funds available to the Agency. To the extent that it is able to do so, the City may also supply additional assistance through City loans or grants for various public facilities or other project costs. Potential revenue sources to fund project costs, as assumed in the economic feasibility cash flow, include, but are not limited to, the following_ (1) tax increment revenues; (2) proceeds from tax allocation bonds; (3) land sale proceeds, (4) interest earnings and (5) other sources, Tax Increment Revenues Tax increment revenues are based upon increases in the annual Incremental assessed valuation of the Project which result from (1) transfers of property ownership or new construction activities and (2) annual inflationary increases (to a maximum of 2%) allowable under proposition 13. The financing limitations for the Redevelopment Plan established by prior Amendments are as follows: Original First Amendment Second Amendment Fourth Amendment Fifth Amendment Sixth Amendment Debt July 10, 2013 December 27, 2013 January 1, 2014 January 1, 2014 January 1, 2014 July 19, 2018 Proceeds from Bonds Increment July 10, 2023 December 27, 2023 August 9, 2025 June 1, 2028 December 18, 2030 July 19, 2038 The Agency may pledge tax Increment revenues to secure the principal and interest payments of tax allocation bonds issued to finance anticipated program costs. The Issuance of tax-exempt bonds and the use of said proceeds are subject to federal tax restrictions. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 31 November, 2000 Land Sale Proceeds For the Agency to accomplish the necessary land use and redevelopment objectives of the Plan, the assembly and subsequent disposition of certain properties may be required. Interest Income The Agency may receive interest earnings generated from funds on deposit in the bond reserve funds, project operating funds and other special funds established for the Project Area. Other Sources Other public agencies are potential revenue sources for assistance in funding redevelopment Programs. When available, the Agency may use advances, grants, or bans from state, federal and local government agencies for plan implementation and to fund redevelopment activities and Programs for the Project Area. 4.4 Proposed Method of Financing The anticipated costs to Implement a program of revitalization in the Project will require significant Participation from the Agency as it implements activities which promote and achieve the stated goals and objectives of the Plan. At the discretion of the Agency, other funding sources discussed above may also represent viable funding altematives for economic feasibility of the Plan. Although the Agency may consider other funding sources permitted in the Plan, not all of the funding sources may be available or be feasible for the Agency to use in financing the antidpated costs and revenue shortfalls. in the event that neither the City nor the private market acting alone could fully bear the costs associated with revitalization of the Project the implementation of a redevelopment program utilizing tax increment revenues must be considered as a viable financing too(. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 32 November, 2000 5.0 METHOD OR PLAN FOR RELOCATION Section 33352(f) of the Community Redevelopment Law ( "CRL") requires that the Agency's Report to the City Council contain a "Method or Plan" for "the relocation of families and persons to be temporarily or permanently displaced from housing facilities in the project area, which shall include the provision required by Section 33341.1." This Section of the Report to Council has been prepared in compliance with Sections 33352, 33411 and 33411.1 of the Community Redevelopment Law. Appendix 8 to this Report contains the "Method or Plan for Relocation" for the Southeast Lynwood Revitalization Redevelopment Project This Method or Plan for Relocation is not intended to be a "Relocation Plan" within the meaning of Section 6038 of the "Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines" promulgated by the California Department of Housing and Community Development ( Califomia Code of Regulations, Division 1 of Title 25, commonly called the "State Gutdefinesl .

To the extent that the Agency acquires occupied property for land assembly or other purposes, or enters into agreements with existing owners developers, or others under which occupants will be require to move, the Agency win cause or will be responsible for causing such displacement of occupants. The Agency is not responsible for any displacement which may occur as a result of private development activities not directly assisted by the Agency under a disposition and development participation, or other such agreement. 5,2 Relocation in the Event of Agency Displacement Displacement of persons, families, businesses or tenant is anticipated under Agency programs and activities over the remaining fife of the Redevelopment Plan. Should such displacement occur, the Agency will provide persons, families, business owner; and tenants displaced by Agency activities with monetary and advisory relocation assistance consistent with the California Relocation Assistance Law (State Government Code, Section 7260 at seq.), the State Guidelines adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto, the Federal Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C.

The Preliminary Plan for those Amendments that expanded the Project Area described the boundaries of the Project Area and contained a general statement of the land uses. The Preliminary Plan also provided a layout of the principal streets, intensities and the standards proposed as the basis for redevelop�me The building also showed how the purposes of CRL would be attained, how the proposed redevelopment conforms to the General Plan and generally described the impact of the Project on the residents of the Project area and the surrounding neighborhood. This analysis of the Preliminary Plan finds that it property outlines a timely and appropriate strategy for needed redevelopment. It directly addresses each of the requirements of CRL and Provides a proactive framework for responding to the demonstrated needs of the community.

The Agency may authorize additions, alterations, repairs, or other improvements in the Project Area for uses which do not conform to the provisions of the Plan, where such improvements are within a portion of the Project where, in the determination of the Agency, such improvements would be compatible with surrounding Project uses and development. 7.3 Conclusion The proposed Project Area is still in need of, and suitable for redevelopment pursuant to the CRL. The physical blighting conditions as defined in CRL Section 33031(a) that were found to be significant in the Project Area include: A significant portion of the building stock in the Project Area contains structures that are considered unsafe or unhealthy for human occupancy due to excessive deterioration. A significant portion of the residential stock is considered defective in design due primarily to shifting uses and age and obsolescence. The building stock suffers from age and obsolescence; parking deficiencies are numerous; poor access to many sites prevents efficient vehicle access; infrastructure Is deteriorating or missing; signs and fencing are deficient; open storage and exposed equipment is excessive; and graffiti, litter and debris are prevalent. The Project Area contains many residential units immediately adjacent to heavy industrial uses; incompatibilities and conflicts result from the proximity of these land uses. Commercial and industrial development and expansion is limited Economic conditions as defined in CRL Section 33031(b) that were found to be significant in the Project Area and each of its noncontiguous subareas can be summarized as follows: Property sales prices for vacant land in the Project Area are lower compared to other commercial and industrial areas of the Clty. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 43 November, 2000 Residential overcrowding rates (number of persons per room) as obtained from the US Census shows considerably greater overcrowding in the Project Area and vicinity compared to the City as a whole. Crime rates in the Project Area are generally higher than those of the City as a whole. The proposed redevelopment of the area within the boundaries of the Project (the "Project Areal as described in this Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of Lynwood (the "General Plan7, adopted by the City Council of the City of Lynwood (the "City Council, in August, 1990 7.4 Recommendation The Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood in accordance with Sections 33346 and i 33347 of the CRL determines that the proposed Plan, the proposed land uses and the proposed projects and programs, including the public projects are in conformance with the Lynwood General Plan and recommends approval of the Plan by the Agency. j The Resolution of the Planning Commission is attached as Appendix A. , Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. a Page 44 November, 2000 8.0 REPORT REQUIRED BY SECTION 65402 8.1 Introduction Section 65402 of the Goverment Code requires the following: 65402.

Failure of the planning agency to report within forty (40) days after the matter has been submitted to it shaft be conclusively deemed a finding that the proposed acquisf o r disposition, or public buffdmg or structure is in conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. If the planning agency disapproves the location, purpose or extent of such acquisition, disposition, or the public building or structure, the disapproval may be overruled by the local agency. Local agency as used in this paragraph (c) means an agency of the state for the local performance of governmental or prapristary functions within ffmited boundaries. Local agency does not include the state, or county, or a city. 8.2 Development by the Agency To the extent raw or hereafter permitted by law, the Agency under the Plan, is authorized to pay for, develop, or construct any publicly -owned building, facility, structure, or other Improvement Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Pape 45 November, 2000 either within or without the Project Area, for itself or for any public body or entity, which buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements are or would be of benefit to the Project Area. Specifically, the Agency may pay for, install, or construct the buildings, facilities, structures, and other improvements and may acquire or pay for the land required therefor. In addition to the public improvements authorized under the Plan, the Agency is authorized to install and construct, or to cause to be installed and constructed, within or without the Project Area, for itself or for any public body or entity for the benefit of the Project Area, public improvements and public utilities, Including, but riot limited to, the following: (1) over- and underpasses; (2) sewers; (3) natural gas, electrical and telephone distribution systems; (4) water distribution systems; (5) parks, plazas, and pedestrian paths; (6) playgrounds; (7) parking facilities; (8) landscaped areas; and (9) street improvements. As illustrated on the Redevelopment Plan Map, the major public Rights -of -Way within the Project Area include existing and proposed freeways, arterial and collector streets and railroad rights-of-way, as set forth and described In the General Plan, as may be amended from time to time. Additional public streets, alleys, easements and railroad rights -of -way may be created in the Project Area as needed for proper development. Existing streets, alleys, and easements may be abandoned, closed, or modified as necessary for proper development of the Project Any changes in the existing interior or exterior layout of public rights -of -way with respect to the Project Area shall be in accordance with the General Plan, the objectives of the Plan, and the City's design standards, shall be effectuated in the manner prescribed by state and local law, and shall be guided by the following criteria: a. A balancing of the needs of proposed and potential new developments for adequate pedestrian and vehicular access, railway access, vehicular parking, and delivery loading docks with the similar needs of any existing developments permitted to remain. Such balancing shall take into consideration the rights of existing owners and tenants under the rules for owner and tenant participation adopted by the Agency for the Project and any participation agreements executed thereunder, b. The requirements imposed by such factors as topography, traffic safety and aesthetics; and C. The potential need to serve not only the Project Area and new or existing developments but to also serve areas outside the Project by providing convenient and efficient vehicular and railway access and movement The public rights -of -way may be used for vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic and railway access, as well as for public improvements, public and private utilities, and activities typically found in public rights -of -way. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 46 November, 2000 8.3 Project Improvements The Agency proposes to make selected public improvements as follows: • Street system improvements, including, but not limited to, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paving, landscaping and irrigation systems, turning lanes, median Islands, panting spaces, and street widening and extensions associated with plan implementation. • Sewer system improvements, including, but not limited to, sewer mains, service lines, manholes, and related temporary pavement and payment restoration work as required with plan implementation. Water system improvements, including, but not limited to, water wells, fire hydrants, water and service lines, water mains, and bore and jack casings, wet ties, and related pavement restoration work as required with plan implementation. • Storm drainage system improvements, including, but not limited to, outclass and inlets, manholes, pipes, bore pipes, and related temporary pavement Ind pavement restoration as required with plan implementation. • Traffic signal and safety lighting system improvements associated with plan implementation. • Utility systems installations, relocations and/or undergrounding, including, but not limited to, telephone, electrical, gas, cable N, fiberoptics, etc., improvements. • Public parking lots and structures improvements as necessary to support plan implementation. • Railroad route and crossing safety improvements, including, but not limited to, closure, re- routing, or extension of spur lines. • Streetscape improvements of major streets and entryway improvements at selected locations along designated major streets and/or freeways. • Building Improvements, including, but not limited to, general service and/or administration offices for the United States Government, the State of California, the County of Lynwood, or other regional and local agencies, including the City of Lynwood. These public improvements will not displace any low or moderate income persons. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 47 November, 2000 8.4 Recommendation The Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood in accordance with Section 65402 of the Government Code determines that the proposed Plan, the proposed land uses and the proposed projects and programs, Including the public projects are in conformance with the Lynwood General Plan and recommends approval of the Plan by the Agency. The Resolution of the Planning Commission is attached as Appendix A. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 48 November, 2000 9.0 PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE Section 33387 (PAC) A Project Area Committee (PAC) was formed pursuant to Section 33387. A summary of their meetings and their resolution regarding the proposed Amendment No. 8 are attached as Appendix B. The Agency also consulted with, and obtained the advice of, residents and community organizations pursuant to CRL Section 33385 (f) and 33386 during community meetings. Copies of the Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 and other supporting documents were made available at the meetings. A summary of the meetings is included in Appendix B. 10.0 ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION The Initial Study and the draft Negative Declaration are be attached as Appendix C. 11.0 AGENCY RESPONSES The Report of the County Fiscal Officer and responses fron other agencies are attached as Appendix D, Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 49 November, 2000 12.0 NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT REPORT 12.1 impact of Project Upon Residents of the Project Area At certain locations in the Project Area are residential units /uses that are either non - conforming with the parcel's zoning or do not conform to the General Plan designation. As a consequence, planned non - residential development of the parcel may result in residents being displaced when the Agency or a developer purchases the residential use in a negotiated purchase. Redevelopment activities such as land acquisition and site assembly may also cause the displacement of residents. However, State law and Agency procedures require just compensation including relocation assistance for said displacements. Redevelopment law also requires replacement on a one -for- -one basis of any law- and moderate income housing unit removed or destroyed by the Agency. The Redevelopment Agency is required to provide that a minimum of 20- percent of tax Increment funds be aside for low and moderate housing projects." The Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 continues the previously approved low- and moderate - income program aimed at stabilizing and increasing the supply of affordable housing. Housing quality ranges from good to poor. The majority of the units show signs of deferred maintenance. In several locations in the community, spot industrial and commercial uses have intruded into the residential areas causing land use conflicts and further depressing property values and neighborhood quality. The Redevelopment Plan also includes a housing program for low and moderated housing using the 20- percent set -aside of the tax increment This program would assist in the rehabilitation of existing housing and provision of new housing, including the infill of parcels. The housing programs of the Redevelopment Plan are administered by the Community Development Department of the City of Lynwood. The location of any new housing would be In accordance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Residential uses that are non - conforming with the General Plan are likely to be dislocated by planned nonresidential development However, this would be consistent with the Objectives of the General Plan that calls for the phase out of non - conforming residential uses in industrial areas. In the areas designated as residential there are residential units that are in need of substantial repair but are still ox pled. Their negotiated purchase, de nofition/removal would displace residents. State law requires that relocation assistance be provided to households displaced by public projects. Redevelopment law requires that any low and moderate income housing units that are removed be replaced on a one- for -one basis. The California Administrative Code requires that a relocation plan be prepared that summarizes the relocation needs of those (#$placed and identifies relocation and replacement housing resources, which will be available. A primary concern of the relocation plans is that no household be displaced without a comparable replacement dwelling being available to each household required to relocate. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 50 November, 2000 These relocation plans will be reviewed by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The provision of new housing would result in population gains. The amount of the Increase that a particular area may experience is not known, as it would depend on location and the number of units constructed. 12.2 Relocation The Redevelopment Project, anticipates that its programs of land assembly and upgrading and installation of public improvements and facilities needed within the Project Area, will provide an incentive for existing owners and the private sector to develop or redevelop vacant, underutilized and blighted properties and to achieve the goals and objectives for the redevelopment of the Project Area. To the extent that the Agency acquires occupied property for land assembly or other purposes, or enters into agreements with existing owners, developers, or others under which occupants will be require to move, the Agency will displace occupants and be responsible for relocation. The Agency wil not cause and will not be responsible for relocating any occupants that are displaced as a result of private development activities not directly assisted by the Agency under a disposition and development, participation, or other such agreement. Displacement of persons, families, businesses or tenants is anticipated under Agency programs and activities over the remaining life of the Redevelopment Plan. Should such displacement occur, the Agency will provide persons, families, business owners and tenants displaced by Agency activities with monetary and advisory relocation assistance consistent with the California Relocation Assistance Law (State Government Code, Section 7260 at seq.), the Guidelines adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto, the Federal Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. Section 4601 at seq.), appropriate Federal Guidelines, and the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project "A ". 12.3 Traffic Circulation The Initial Study has determined that the levels of traffic from implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will not have a major significant impact on neighborhoods that can not be adequately mitigated. The major streets In the Project Area are served by fixed route bus service provided by the City of Lynwood and Metro. These routes also provide service and connections to other areas In the Los Angeles/Orange County Area. The Alameda Corridor project is being constructed within the Project Area. This project which goes from the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach Is currently being constructed in the vicinity of the Century 1 -105 Freeway. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 51 November, 2000 Development in the Project Area would result In the following construction related effects to circulation. Temporary closure of roads and intersections to through traffic, temporary closure of driveways and access to parcels, and traffic detours and delays. These effects would cause local congestion and confusion. However, the effects would be temporary and would end after completion of the road improvement or the installation of infrastructure such as sewer, water, or power. The proposed public improvements in the Redevelopment Plan includes circulation improvements such as turning pockets, intersection improvements, and the construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalks in the Project Area. These improvements would increase public safety and enhance the carrying capacities of the street network. These would be beneficial effects, Projects are required to mitigate traffic effects that they generate. Project specific traffic analysis will determine the precise nature of any necessary Improvements. The Redevelopment Agency may choose to fund none, some, or all of the improvements that would be needed. 12.4 Environmental Quality - Environmental quality within the Project Area is discussed in these sections of the Report to Council and is further discussed in detail in the Initial Study and will be presented to the City Council prior to the Public Hearing. 12.5 Availability of Community Facilities and Services Redevelopment activities would foster additional development in the Project Area consistent with the General Plan. This would generate an incremental increase in the need for fire and police services. However, effects related to the City s fire protection services would be less than significant as projects are required to adhere to City's fire regulations and with the General Plan. The planned level of equipment and manpower and number of fire stations is adequate to accommodate development in accordance with the General Plan. The City s police services are adequate to accommodate development in the Project Area in accordance with the General Plan. Development would also incrementally increase the demand for emergency services. Redevelopment projects that include road reconstruction, and other improvements that would decrease the need for continual and Incremental repairs. This would be a beneficial effect of the Project. 12.6 Effect on School Population and Quality of Education The Lynwood School Districts provides educational services in the Project Area. Effects related to the quality of education and schools would be considered to be potentially significant If the project affected a school's learning environment (such as through noise or vibration, or access and safety), or would cause overcrowding or would aggravate existing overcrowding at schools due to the number of school age children that would be generated. The Lynwood Unified School District has enacted developer's fees to offset the effects residential and non - residential development projects may have related to school facilities. The Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 52 November, 2000 proposed redevelopment actions may have a fiscal effect on the school districts. However, in recognition of the fiscal effects this may have on school districts, state redevelopment law requires that the Redevelopment Agency make mandatory payments to the affected taxing entities, including schools. The amount of the payments are established by California Redevelopment Law. Any loss of revenue to the school district as a result of the redevelopment activities would be "back filled" by the State. The proposed housing program of the Redevelopment Plan will continue to result in the construction of new housing units. Residential projects may increase the number of school aged children that need to be served. However, the location of any residential projects would be in accordance with the General Plan. 12.7 Property Assessments and Taxes The proposed redevelopment activities may have a financial impact on entities receiving property taxes from the Project Area. A change in tax revenues available to a taxing entity has the potential to affect the level of services provided by that entity. The financial effect to these entities would vary depending on several factors including the present amount of tax revenue allocated to the taxing entity from the Pioject Area versus the tax revenue that would be allocated if the proposed redevelopment actions are implemented; the relationship of that change in tax revenue with rasped to the budget of that entity; and the ability of the entity to recover any change in tax revenue through other means. The amount of property tax revenue allocated to a taxing entity in a redevelopment project area (so- called pass through) is established by State redevelopment law. In gross overview, the adoption of a redevelopment project area establishes what Is oommonly called the "frozen' tax base. Thereafter, each taxing entity continues to receive the property tax revenue being received as of the date the Redevelopment Project's adoption, plus up to an additional two percent per year. The increase or increment of revenue after a Redevelopment Project is established is divided in accordance with a formula in redevelopment law. First, 20- percent of this increment is set aside for low and moderate income housing purposes. Then using a formula in the law, a portion of the remaining increase is than passed through to the taxing entities to offset the fiscal impact of the redevelopment project The portion ranges from 25 percent of the remaining increment for the first ten years of project life to 53 percent for the last ten years. 12.8 Neighborhood Impact Report Low -Mod Housing Expected to be Destroyed or Removed Approximately two hundred low and moderate income housing units are currently expected to be destroyed or removed. This represents a population of approximately seven hundred persons. Approximately 200 new units are expected to be constructed. This number of units is Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 53 November, 2000 expected to increase significantly as result of the new General Plan Land Use Element which will be completed in 2001. Number of Low -Mod Families Expected to be Displaced Approximately two hundred low and moderate income families are currently expected to be displaced. This General Location of Housing to be Rehabilitated, Developed, or Constructed Housing activities would be concentrated within the Project Area and in residential neighborhoods near the Project Area. Number of Low -Mod Dwellings Planned for Construction or Rehabilitation Other Than Replacement Housing Among the potential programs that could be implemented under this program, are home ownership stimulation aril the construction, rehabilitation or conservation of new affordable housing units. It Is anticipated that over the remaining life of the Plan that up to 100 low and' moderate income homes will be rehabilitated and that up to 75-100 additional low and moderate income homes will be conshicted by funds from the 20 percent fund. Projected Means of Financing Proposed Low -Mod Dwelling Units The Agency Is required to deposit 20 percent of gross tax increment revenues allocated to the Agency into a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for the purposes of increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. Approximately $270,000 per year is deposited in this fund. Other public agencies are potential revenue sources for assistance In funding redevelopment programs. When available, the Agency may use advances, grants, or loans from state, federal and local government agencies for plan implementation and to fund redevelopment activities and programs for the Project Area. The Agency's plan is to spend approximately $1,000,000 over the next 5 years to assist In new construction of up to 40 affordable housing units in the Project Area, which will be restricted to low and moderate income families. The Agency plans to spend approximately $3130,000 over the next 5 year period to assist in the substantial rehabilitation of approximately one hundred (70) units of housing that will be restricted to low and moderate income families. Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 8 Page 54 November, 2000 Projected Timetable For Meeting Plan's Relocation, Rehabilitation, and Replacement Housing Objectives Rehabilitation will continue unfit the end of the Plan. Any housing removed from the low and moderate income housing market will be replaced in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan and State law which requires that the removed low and moderate income housing be replaced within four years.

Before the redevelopment plan of each project area is submitted to the legislative body, it shall be submitted to the planning commission for its report and recommendation concerning the redevelopment plan and its confomlity to the general plan adopted by the planning commission or the legislative body. The planning commission may recommend for or against the approval of the redevelopment plan. 33347. Within 30 days after a redevelopment plan is submitted to it for consideration, the planning commission shall make its report and recommendation to the agency. if the planning commission does not report upon the redevelopment plan within 30 days after its submission by the agency, the planning commission shall be deemed to have waived its report and recommendations concerning the plan and the agency may thereafter approve the plan without the report and recommendations of the planning commission Below is a summary of adopted plans and policies of the City that are applicable to the Project Area and their conformity with this Plan: A. City General Plan The City General Plan was adopted in 1990 and contains the broad scale plants and policies and the overall framework for planning of the Project Area. C. Prior Redevelopment Plan and Amendments The Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area "A" was adopted by the Lynwood City Council on July 10, 1973, by Ordinance No. 945. The Redevelopment Plan was subsequently amended by the City Council on December 27, 1973 by Ordinance No. 960, on August 19, 1975 by Ordinance No. 990, on June 1, 1976 by Ordinance No. 1000, an December 7, 1976 by Ordinance 1010, on December 16, 1980 by Ordinance No. 1111, on July 19, 1988 by Ordinance No. 1308 and on December 29, 1994 by Ordinance 1406. The Project Area was originally comprised of approximately twenty (20) acres within the City of Lynwood and now totals 734 acres as depicted on the Project Area Map. The Redevelopment Plan has a thirty one (31) year duration and contains various land uses including residential, commercial, industrial and publicJquasi public. The Redevelopment Plan also provides for the orderly development of new affordable housing for low and moderate income families, employment opportunities, and increased community access to business and retail services. Planning Commission Report Amendment No. 8 Page 1 November 2000 1.2 Permitted Uses The Plan permits the following uses in the Project Area: B. Redevelopment Plan Land Use Mao The permitted land uses in the Project area are those uses that are permitted in the City General Plan for all land, public, semi-public and private. Permitted private land uses within the Plan Area are those land uses and other uses as shall be illustrated from time to time in the General Plan of the City. Specific permitted uses within the Plan Area are those that are permitted, or conditionally permitted, by the Zoning Ordinance contained in the Lynwood Municipal Code when the Zoning Ordinance conforms to the General Plan. B. Designated Land Uses Residential The uses permitted in the Redevelopment Plan for residential uses shall be used for the permitted residential, and public uses set forth and described in the General Plan and Lynwood Zoning Ordinance, as may be amended from time to time. 2. Commercial Uses The uses permitted in the Redevelopment Plan for commercial uses shag be used for the commercial uses set forth and described in the General Plan and the Lynwood Zoning Ordinance, as may be amended from time to time. Industrial Uses The uses permitted in the Redevelopment Plan for industrial uses shall be used for the industrial uses set forth and described in the General Plan and Lynwood Zoning Ordinance, as may be amended from time to time. 4. Public Uses The uses permitted in the Redevelopment Plan for public uses shall be used for the permitted public uses, including, but not limited to, government facilities, park, open space and parking uses, set forth and described in the General Plan and Lynwood Zoning Ordinance, as may be amended from time to time. 5. Other Public. Semi- Public. Institutional. and Nonprofit Uses In any area shown on the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency is authorized to permit the maintenance, establishment, or enlargement of public, semi - public, institutional, or nonprofit uses, including, park and recreational facilities, libraries, educational, fraternal, employee, philanthropic, religious and charitable institutions, utilities, railroad rights -of -way, and faclities of other similar associations or organizations. All such uses shall, to the extent possible, conform to the provisions of this Plan applicable to the uses in the specific area involved and as Planning Commission Report Amendment No. 8 Page 2 November 2000 permitted under the Land Use Element of the General Plan, as may be amended from time to time. The Agency may impose such other reasonable requirements and/or restrictions as may be necessary to protect the development and use of the Project Area. 6. Non- conformina Uses The Agency may permit an existing use to remain in an existing building in good condition which use does not conform to the provisions of this Plan, provided that such use is generally compatible with existing and proposed developments and uses in the Project Area. The owner of such a property must be willing to enter into a participation agreement and agree to the imposition of such reasonable restrictions as may be necessary to protect the development and use of the Project Area. The Agency may authorize additions, alterations, repairs, or other improvements in the Project Area for uses which do not conform to the provisions of the Plan, where such improvements are within a portion of the Project where, in the determination of the Agency, such Improvements would be compatible with surrounding Project uses and development. 1.3 Conclusion The proposed Project Area is still in need of, and suitable for redevelopment pursuant to the CRL. The physical blighting conditions as defined in CRL Section 33031(a) that were found to be significant in the Project Area include: A significant portion of the !wilding stock in the Project Area contains structures that are considered unsafe or unhealthy for human occupancy due to excessive deterioration. A significant portion of the residential stock is considered defective In design due primarily to shifting uses and age and obsolescence. The building stock suffers from age and obsolescence; parking deficiencies are numerous; poor access to many sites prevents efficient vehicle access; infrastructure is deteriorating or missing; signs and fencing are deficient; open storage and exposed equipment is excessive; and graffiti, litter and debris are prevalent. The Project Area contains many residential units immediately adjacent to heavy industrial uses; incompatibilities and conflicts result from the proximity of these land uses. Commercial and industrial development and expansion is limited. Economic conditions as defined in CRL Section 33031(b) that were found to be significant in the Project Area and each of its noncontiguous subareas can be summarized as follows: Property sales prices for vacant land in the Project Area are lower compared to other commercial and Industrial areas of the City. Residential overcrowding rates (number of persons per room) as obtained from the US Census shows considerably greater overcrowding in the Project Area and vicinity compared to the City as a whole. Planning Commission Report Amendment No, 8 Page 3 November 2000 Crime rates in the Project Area are generally higher than those of the City as a whole. - - The proposed redevelopment of the area within the boundaries of the Project (the "Project Area") as described in this Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of Lynwood (the "General Plan"), adopted by the City Council of the City of Lynwood (the ~City Council"), in August, 1990 1.4 Recommendation The Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood in accordance with Sections 33346 and 33347 of the CRL determines that the proposed Plan, the proposed land uses and the proposed projects and programs, including the public projects are in conformance with the Lynwood General Plan and recommends approval of the Plan by the Agency. Planning Commission Report Amendment No. 8 Page 4 November 2000 2.0 REPORT REQUIRED BY SECTION 65402 2,1 Introduction Section 55402 of the Government Code requires the following 65402. (a) If a general plan or pan' thereof has been adopted, no real property shall be acquired by dedication or otherwise for street, square, park or other public purposes, and no real property shall be disposed of, no street shall be vacated or abandoned, and no public building or structure shall be constructed or authorized, tf the adopted general plan or part thereof applies thereto, until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition or disposition, such street vacation or abandonment, or such public building or structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. The planning agency shall render its report as to confom►ity with said adopted general plan or part thereof within forty (40) days after the matter was submitted to it, or such tonger period of time as may be designated by the legislative body. If the legislative body so provides, by ordinance or resolution, the provisions of this subdivision shag not apply to: (1) the disposition of the remainder of a larger parcel which was acquired and used in part for street purposes, (2) acquisitions, dispositions, or hbandonments for street widening, or (3) alignment projects, provided such dispositions for street purposes, acquisitions, dispositions, or abandonments for street widening, oralignment projects are of a minor nature. (b) A county shag not... (c) A local agency shall not acquire real property for any of the purposes spedfied in paragraph (a) nor dispose of any real property, nor construct or authorize a public buiiding or structure, in any county or city, if such county or city has adopted a general plan or part thereof and such general plan or part thereof is applicable thereto, until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition, disposition, or such public building or stricture ham been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency having JUdscUction, as to conformity with said adopted genera! an or part thereof. Failure of the planning egency to report within forty (40) days after the matter has been submitted to it shall be conclusively deemed a finding that the proposed acquisition, disposition, or public building or structure is in conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. If the planning agency disapproves the location, purpose or extent of such acquisition, disposition, or the public building or structure, the ofsapproval may be overruled by the local agency. Local agency as used in this paragraph (c) means an agency of the state for the local pertbrmance of governmental or proprietary functions within limited boundaries. Local agency does not include the state, or county, or city. 2.2 Development by the Agency To the extent now or hereafter permitted by law, the Agency under the Plan, is authorized to pay for, develop, or construct any publicly-owned budding, facility, structure, or other improvement either within or without the Project Area, for itself or for any public body or entity, which Planning Conirnission Report Amendment No. 5 Page 5 November 2000 buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements are or would be of benefit to the Project Area. Specifically, the Agency may pay for, install, or construct the buildings, facilities, structures, and other improvements and may acquire or pay for the land required therefor. In addition to the public improvements authorized under the Plan, the Agency is authorized to install and constrict, or to cause to be installed and constructed, within or without the Project Area, for itself or for any public body or entity for the benefit of the Project Area, public improvements and public utilities, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) over- and underpasses; (2) sewers; (3) natural gas, electrical and telephone distribution systems; (4) water distribution systems; (5) parks, plazas, and pedestrian paths; (6) playgrounds; (7) parking facilities; (8) landscaped areas; and (9) street improvements. As illustrated on the Redevelopment Plan Map, the major public Rights -of -Way within the Project Area include existing and proposed freeways, arterial and collector streets and railroad rights -of -way, as set forth and described in the General Plan, as may be amended from time to time. Additional public streets, alleys, easements and railroad rights -of -way may be created in the Project Area as needed for proper development. !existing streets, alleys, and easements may be abandoned, closed, or modified as necessary for proper development of the Project. Any changes in the existing interior or exterior layout of public rights -of -way with respect to the Project Area shall be in accordance with the General Plan, the objectives of the Plan, and the City's design standards, shall be effectuated in the manner prescribed by state and local law, and shaft be guided by the following criteria: a. A balancing of the needs of proposed and potential new developments for adequate pedestrian and vehicular access, railway access, vehicular parking, and delivery loading docks with the similar needs of any existing developments permitted to remain. Such balancing shall take into consideration the rights of existing owners and tenants under the rules for owner and tenant participation adopted by the Agency for the Project and any participation agreements executed thereunder, b.

Agency Requiring Checklst: City of Lynwood Proposal: The proposed project is to amend (Amendment No. 8) the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area A to extend the eminent domain provisions for an additional 12 years. The existing language in the Redevelopment Plan that will be extended Is as follows: Section 403.1 Eminent Domain No eminent domain proceedings to acquire property within the Original Project Area and Project Area Expansion shah be commenced after twelve (12) years following the date of adoption of the ordinance approving and adopting this Amended Redevelopment Plan. Such time limitation may be extended only by additional amendment of this Redevelopment Plan. The Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area "A" was adopted by the Lynwood City Council on July 10, 1973, by Ordinance No. W. The Redevelopment Plan was subsequently amended by the City Council on December 27, 1973 by Ordinance No. 960, on August 19, 1975 by Ordinance No. 990, on June 1, 1976 by Ordinance No. 1000, on December 7, 1976 by Ordinance 1010, on December 16, 1980 by Ordinance No. 1111, on July 19, 1988 by Ordinance No. 1308 and on December 29, 1994 by Ordinance 1406. The Project Area was originally comprised of approximately twenty (20) acres (now the Marketplace and Towne Center Area) within the City of Lynwood and now totals 564 acres as depicted on the Project Area Map (Figure 1). The Redevelopment Plan has a forty rive year duration with thirty three (33) years remaining and contains various land uses including residential, commercial, industrial and publicJquasi public. The Redevelopment Plan also provides for the orderly development of new affordable housing for low and moderate income families, employment opportunities, and increased community access to business and retail services. Page -1 10rm00 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study The projects permitted under the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area "A" are the expanded Marketplace (36.5 acres) and the uses that were proposed in Amendment No. 6. The Expanded Marketplace development has been analyzed under an Initial Study dated June 1, 2000 and the land uses of Amendment No. 6 were considered in the Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH 87123014) in June 1988. The land uses considered in prior environmental documents are as follows: Marketplace/Towne Center 165,214 SF new commercial development Amendment No. 8 -32 residential units 243,000 SF new commercial development 144,000 SF new industrial development Since preparation of the Final EIR the City has concluded that it has an excess of commercial property and has used some of these properties over the last 10 years for residential development as follows: Developer Type Units Pricing Range Sunset Homes Single Family 8 units $145,000 - $165,000 Median Emerald Village Single Family 85 units $152,950 - $182,950 Median Edgebrook Single Family 18 units $150,000- $160,000 Median Curry Temple Single Family 1 Unit $150,0004160,000 Median Access Community Single Family 2 units $155,000 Median Le Francis Single Family 7 units $150,000 Median SELAC Multi- Family 23 units $98,000$101,000 Low Total 197 units The environmental impacts from residential development are expected to be generally overall the same as for commercial development. Residential units may use more water and generate more wastewater, but have significantly less traffic than commercial uses. The equivalent analysis in this Initial Study is 200 new additional residential units and 300,000 square feet of commercial and industrial development This Initial Study will be used by the following pursuant to redevelopment law. Project Area Committee Planning Commission Lynwood Redevelopment Agency City Council All City Departments who must approve activities undertaken under this Plan Amendment All other public agencies who must approve activities undertaken pursuant to this Plan Amendment This Initial Study will be used in the adoption and approval of the following Project implementation activities: Adoption of this Plan amendment Approval of DDA's and OPA's Approval of Public Improvement Projects Page - 2 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study Approval of all Permits and other approvals necessary for implementation of the Plan Amendment Location The 584 acre site is primarily located along the major boulevards within the City of Lynwood. 5. Description of Environmental Setting: The project area is improved urbanized property, including existing commercial, industrial and residential uses. No evidence of animals have been observed in the Project Area other than stray dogs and rodents. According to City Staff there are no rare or endangered species in the Project Area Utilities, water and sewer in the Project Area are generally adequate. The Project Area exhibits no historic, cultural or scenic aspects. Purposes of an Initial Study: are to (1) provide the lead agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or negative declaration, (2) enable an applicant or lead agency to modify. a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby enabling the project to quality, for a negative declaration, (3) assist in the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, by focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant, identifying the effects determined not to be significant and explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant, (4) facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project, (5) provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a negative declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment, and (7) eliminate unnecessary EIR's. A proposed Negative Declaration shall be prepared for a project subject to CEQA when either, (1) the initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project May have a significant effect on the environment, or (2) the initial study identified potentially significant effects but (a) revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the Applicant before the proposed negative declaration Is released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where dearly no significant effects would occur, and (b) there is no substantial evidence before the Agency that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. Environmental Factors Potentially Affected An Environmental Checklist Forth (Form) is used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project (The Form has been prepared by the Resources Agency of Califomis to assist local governmental agencies, such as the City of Lynwood, in complying with the requirements of the Statutes and Guidelines for Implementing the Califomia Environmental Quality Act). The following Forth has been used to review the environmental effects of the proposed project with respect to the following issue areas: Page - 3 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Land Use and Planning Population and Housing Geophysical Water Air Quality Transportation/Circulation Biological Resources Energy and Mineral Resources Hazards Noise Mandatory Findings of Significance ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation, I find that: Initial Study Public Services Utilities Service Systems Aesthetics Cultural Resources Recreation ❑ The proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a Negative Declaration will be prepared. ❑ Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described herein have been added to this project A Negative Declaration will be prepared. ❑ The proposed project may have a significant effect(s) on the environment, and an Environmental Impact Report is required. ❑ The proposed project may have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least the effect(s), that has/have been identified as "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated ", has/have been: (1) adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis described on the attached pages. An Environmental Impact Report Is required, but it is to analyze only those effects that remain to be addressed. ■ Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects have either been: (1) analyzed adequately in an earlier Final EIR for Amendment No. 8 or the Negative Declaration for the Marketplace/Towne Center pursuant to applicable legal standards; or (2) avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, or Negative Declaration including revisions or mitigation measures that are inWsed on the proposed project No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Proposed Project Amendment is undertaken, which will require any important revisions to the Program EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental impacts not covered in the Program EIR and no new information of substantial importance to the Proposed Project has become available that was not known at the time the Program EIR was certified. The Proposed Project Amendment will not have any significant effects not discussed previously in the Program EIR, and no potentially significant impacts from the Proposed Page - 4 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study Project Amendment will be substantially more severe than the impacts shown in the Program EIR. No mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible nor would they substantially reduce one or mole Significant effects of the Proposed Project Amendment, and there are no mitigation measures or alternatives which were not previously considered in the Program EIR, which would substantially lessen one or more significant effects on the environment. APPROVED FOR DISTRIBUTION BY: Gary Chicots, Community Development Director DATE: August 4, 2000 Page - 5 August 4, 2000 I 9 I City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Initial Study There are four possible responses to each of the questions on the preceding Environmental Checklist Form: 1.

POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections? ❑ ❑ ❑ M b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or Indirectly? ❑ ❑ ❑ c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? ❑ ❑ ❑ t Population and Housing Impact Discussion Lynwood's current population (2000) is over 68,165 residents. In 1990 the population was 61,945. There are currently 14,763 single family homes in the City, 5,185 multi family homes and 85 mobile homes. The vacancy factor is estimated by the State Department of Finance at 2.53 percent Persons per household is estimated at 4.737. Mitigation and Residual Impact As indicated in the City of Lynwood's 2000 -2004 HUD Consolidated Plan and the A81290 Implementation Plan the primary resources to provide additional housing and conserve existing housing are CDBG Funds, HOME Funds and 20 Percent funds. Annual CDBG funds are just under $2,000,000 and HOME Funds are about $630,000. In the review of the proposed project, the City has considered its effect of on the housing needs of the region. In so considering, it has relied upon documents and incorporates herein haec verba the following documents: the Redevelopment Plan of the Redevelopment Agency of the Page - 7 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study City of Lynwood; the 1990 General Plan Update of the City of Lynwood; the Housing Element of the General Plan of the City of Lynwood; all Environmental Analysis documents contained in this Initial Study. As demonstrated in this Initial Study there is an adequate balance between the anticipated effects of this project and the need for public services and available fiscal and environmental resources. The project will have a beneficial impact on jobs in the Lynwood area. i No mitigation measures other than those discussed throughout this Initial Study are recommended. The reader is referred especially to the mitigation measures in Earth, Air, I Water, Plant Life, Noise, Light & Glare, Natural Resources, Risk of Upset, Transportation /Circulation, Public Services, Energy, Utilities, Human Health, Aesthetics and Cultural Resources. Mitigation measures discussed in these sections will reduce the impact of the proposed project, and, improve air quality, consume less natural resources including fuel, wood, sand and gravel, use less gas, electricity and services and consume less water. Recommended Monitoring: The mitigation measures described in this and other sections of this Initial Study will be monitored by Code Enforcement, the Building -Department and the City Engineer. } Page - 8 August 4, 2000 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact III. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS.

The Newport- Inglewood, Sierra Madre, Whittier, Elysian Hills and San Andreas Faults are located within close proximity to the project site and may generate potentially damaging earthquakes that could result in property damage, injury and/or loss of life (1990 General Plan Update). No known faults traverse the City and there are no AlgUst Prioio Special Study Zones within the City. The topography within the Project area is relatively fiat (1% or less). Erosion potential is considered minimal. The Project area is susceptible to disturbances from regional seismic activity. Local seismic faults have been identified in the vicinity of Lynwood. However, no seismic faults are located within the City or the project area. The San Andreas Fault, located north and east of the project area, and the Newport- Inglewood Fault, south and west of the project area, may pose a potential threat to the project. Development along active seismic faults is not an issue. Protection against damage by major regional seismic events is addressed through local building code requirements which adhere to the Undone Building Code. In the event of a major earthquake along one of these nearby faults, Lynwood may sustain property damage, possibly resulting in injury and loss of life. In particular, an earthquake occurring along the San Andreas Fault has the potential to cause widespread upset. The level of impact on the project will ultimately depend on a number of factors: the distance of the project from the quake's epicenter, the magnitude of the quake, the characteristics of soils and subsurface geology of the affected area. Mitigation and Residual Impact Mitigation measures imposed by the City on individual development projects include: Grating plans must conform to the requirements of Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code shall be prepared and submitted to the City Engineer for approval. b. All construction shall be per building permits issued by the Building Department and UBC standards and dust control shall be exercised at all times during constriction. C. Plan submittals must be prepared and signed by a California. Licensed Architect or Engineer per State of California, Business and Professions Code. Compliance with the above mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to a level of insignificance. Recommended Monitoring The Building Department and the City Engineer will monitor grading operations and Inspect structures to assure that the above mitigation measures are complied with to reduce seismic safety impacts and the impacts of grading.

Park Water Company serves approximately 1,000 residential, commercial, industrial and public customers in the southeast portion of the City. Water comes from two main sources, groundwater and the west -coast feeder of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The State Water Master allows the City to draw up to 5,324 acre feet of water per year from groundwater sources, primarily the Siiverado Aquifer. The Program EIR indicated that an additional 77,400 gallons per day would be consumed at build -out. Projections of the 200 new units and the 300,000 square feet of new commercial and industrial development indicate that a slightly higher amount of water (128,000 gallons per day) will be used in the proposed Project. Page -10 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study Mitioation and Residual impact: Mitigation measures for the proposed project include the following: a. Health and Safety Code Section 17921.3 requires low -flush toilets and urinals in virtually all buildings as follows: "After January 1, 1983, all new buildings constructed in this state shall use water closets and associated flushometer valves, d any, which are water- conservation water closets as defined by American National Standards Institute Standard Al 12.19.2. and urinals and associated flushometer valves, if any, that use less than an average of 1 -112 gallons per flush. Blowout water closets and associated flushometer valves are exempt from the requirements of this section." b. Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations Section 1604(f) (Appliance Efficiency Standards) establishes efficiency standards that give the maximum flow rate of all new shower heads, lavatory faucets, and sink faucets, as speed in the standard approved by the American National Standards Institute on November 16, 1979. and known as ANSI A112.18,1 M -1979. C. Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 1606(b) (Appliance Efficiency Standards) prohibits the sale of fixtures that do not comply with regulations. No new appliance say be sold or offered for sale in California that is not certified by its manufacturer to be in compliance with the provisions of the regulations establishing applicable efficiency standards. d. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 2- 5307(b) (California Energy Conservation Standards for New Buildings) prohibits the installation of fixtures unless the manufacturer has certified to the CEC compliance with the flow rate standards. e. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 2- 5352(i) and (b) address pipe insulation requirements, which can reduce water used before hot water reaches equipment or fixtures. These requirements apply to steam and steam - condensate return piping and recirculating hot water piping in attics, garages, crawl spaces, or unheated spaces other than between floors or in interior wails. Insulation of water - heating systems is also required. Health and Safety Code Section 4047 prohibits installation of residential water softening or conditioning appliances unless certain conditions are satisfied. Included is the requirement that in most instances, the installation of the appliance must be accompanied by water conservation devices on fixtures using softened or conditioned water. g. Government Code Section 7800 species that lavatories in all public facilities constructed after January 1. 1985, be equipped with self - dosing faucets that limit flow of hot water. h. The Applicant has agreed to extend water mains to the requirements of the City Engineer. Page - 11 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study The Applicant has agreed to prepare a comprehensive drainage plan to the satisfaction of the City Engineer approved by a licensed Civil Engineer and submitted to the City for approval. These mitigation measures will reduce impacts to levels of insignificance. Recommended Monitoring The Building Department will review plans to ensure that the above mitigation measures for water resources are complied with. The City Engineer will review water plans and the drainage plan. Air impact Discussion: The proposed project will generate emissions from the use of electricity, gas and vehicle miles traveled and will generate particulate emissions from grading and construction. Construction impacts are temporary and can be controlled by temporary watering during windy periods. The Program EIR previously considered the following tons per day: Total Organic Gases Carbon Monoxide Nitrogen Oxides 37.1 Tons per Day 328.1 Tons per Day 73.9 Tons per Day The substitution of some residential uses for commercial uses significantly reduces the impact on air quality. The emission control programs of the SCAQMD and significant reductions in vehicle exhaust over the last decade further reduce the prior considered impact to air quality. Mitigation and Residual Impact To reduce air quality impacts the City of Lynwood reviews all site design plans to assure that there are integrated free flowing circulation patterns, provision of bicycle racks, as appropriate, to further encourage travel by bicycle.

Recent traffic studies indicate that in 2000 traffic at these major intersections is actually Improving. For example the Program EIR indicated that the 1980 traffic at Long Beach and Imperial was at LOS D+ and was projected to be LOS F by 2020. In 2000 the traffic had actually improved to LOS C and would remain so even after the development of the new Marketplace/Towne Center expansion. It is unlikely that future development in the City will exceed the Levels of Service that were already considered in the Program EIR. Page -13 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Mitigation and Residual Impact: Initial Study The City will continue to require traffic studies for major projects that are anticipated to generate larger than normal amounts of traffic. The City will consider and implement the mitigation measures that are suggested in these traffic studies. Recommended Monitoring. The Building Department and the City Engineer will review Final Plans and will ensure that the required circulation system is implemented. Impact Discussion: The Project area is a fully developed urbanized area with existing commercial, industrial, residential and public uses. There are no rare or endangered species, no heritage trees no wetlands and no wildlife corridors in the Project area. City staff has reviewed the list of threatened and endangered species for the State of California and concluded that none of the species listed are found within the City of Lynwood.

Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? b) Use non - renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient mariner? c) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? Enerav and Mineral Resources Impact Discussion: ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ ■ The construction of the proposed Project wig result in the consumption of fossil fuel resources for electricity, heating, cooling, transportation and construction. Non- renewable energy and mineral resources will also be consumed. In a regional context, the level of natural resource consumption is riot considered significant 4. Mitigation and Residual Impact: To reduce impact on natural resources the City will required the following from developers: a. Energy conservation measures required by State laws irucluding requirements for the use of energy - efficient fixtures and energy saving design elements in new construction (Government Code Section 813473.1). b. Water conservation techniques discussed above in water resources, shall be required for proposed development to minimize water consumption. The mitigation measures will reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. Recommended Monitorina: The Building Department and the City Engineer will review plans to assure that the above mitigation measures are implemented. Enemy Impact Discussion: The proposed project will consume normal amounts of energy during construction and operation. Electrical usage in California is high during hot summer days.

Enerav and Mineral Resources Impact Discussion: ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ ■ The construction of the proposed Project wig result in the consumption of fossil fuel resources for electricity, heating, cooling, transportation and construction. Non- renewable energy and mineral resources will also be consumed. In a regional context, the level of natural resource consumption is riot considered significant 4. Mitigation and Residual Impact: To reduce impact on natural resources the City will required the following from developers: a. Energy conservation measures required by State laws irucluding requirements for the use of energy - efficient fixtures and energy saving design elements in new construction (Government Code Section 813473.1). b. Water conservation techniques discussed above in water resources, shall be required for proposed development to minimize water consumption. The mitigation measures will reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. Recommended Monitorina: The Building Department and the City Engineer will review plans to assure that the above mitigation measures are implemented. Enemy Impact Discussion: The proposed project will consume normal amounts of energy during construction and operation. Electrical usage in California is high during hot summer days. August 4, 2000 peaked at 43,018 megawatts in the late afternoon. The California Independent System Operator which runs most of the grid in the State declared a moderate Stage 2 emergency at 2 p.m. after a mechanical failure at a Northern California power plant pulled 400 megawatts of Page - 15 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No, 8 Initial Study generation (enough to supply 400,000 homes) from the system. A Stage 2 is declared when electricity reserves fail below 5 percent. Southern California Edison and other big investor owned utilities are usually directed to interrupt power to some commercial and industrial customers that get discounted rates in exchange for agreeing to power cuts when supplies are low. When reserves dip below 1.5 percent a Stage 3 emergency is declared and rolling blackouts become likely. The federal government is one of the largest consumers of electricity in the State. The Energy Department will be reducing consumption by 5 percent in California, enough to power 500,000 homes. The Energy Department has also directed federal power entities like the Bonneville Power Administration in Oregon and Washington and our national dams to send electricity to California. The Impact of a couple of hundred 'homes and a half million square feet of new commercial and industrial development in Lynwood is insignificant (.007 percent) In relation to overall energy consumption in the State. Mitigation and Residual Impact. The city will require developers to comply with the energy conservation measures required by State laws including requirements for the use of energy- efficient fixtures and energy saving design elements in new construction (Government Code Section 66473.1). When 4 becomes economically feasible and necessary new electrical energy sources will be developed. The provision of gas, electricity and fuels will not be significant. Recommended Monitoring: The Building Department will review building plans to assure compliance with energy conservation laws.

Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances (Including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? ❑ O ■ ❑ e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush, grass, or trees? O ❑ ❑ ■ Page -16 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Hazards Impact Discussion: Initial Study The 1990 General Plan identified 24 toxic and hazardous waste generators within the City of Lynwood. Prior site spills of fuels, etc. are being identified are being remediated. The City has applied for a Brownfolds Grant for the Marketplace/Towne Center project. The proposed Project will not result in any impact to City Emergency plans. The City has adequate police and fire services and new development projects will have adequate access. Mitigation and Residual Impact: Phase 1 Site Audits (and remediation plans, if necessary) are required by the City for new development projects. The City requires developers to comply with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System regulations from the City and State Water Resources Control Board. When and where applicable, developers will comply with all requirements of the Los Angeles County Department of Environmental Health Services (DEHS). These mitigation measures will reduce impacts to levels of insignificanclo. Recommended Monitoring: The Building Department will review any Phase 1 site audits. The County of Los Angeles will monitor the submission of the necessary reports and the issuance of any required health permits for the proposed project. Potentially Significant Impact X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? ❑ b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ❑ Noise Impact Discussion: Potentially Significant Unless Less Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact ❑ ■ ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ Noise levels will be increased from cars and trucks. Noise levels as high as 70 dB CNEL may be experienced at approximately sixty eight feet from centerline of major roadways. The proposed Project may increase noise levels of all roadways in the Project area. There will be a significant increase in noise levels within the Project area during constnictfon, particularly in conjunction with grading and other site preparation activities. Typical noise levels produced by various types of construction equipment have been determined by the EPA and range generally from 70 to 95 dB. Construction activities are anticipated to continue in phases for several years depending on market conditions. The Project area Is not within any airport noise contours. Page - 17 August 4, 2000 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. 8 Initial Study Mitigation and Residual Impact. The following are specific mitigation measures that are usually incorporated into proposed developments that will lessen the significance of transportation noise impacts to residents. a. Grading and construction activities will be limited in project by the City to week days between 7:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. This requirement will be enforced. b. Housing that is developed adjacent to major streets will include mitigation measures such as dual pane windows and roof insulation. These mitigation measures will reduce impacts to levels of insignificance. Exterior noise levels will not exceed 65-70 dBA and interior noise levels will be approximately 45.50 dBA. This is compatible for commercial and residential uses pursuant to the Noise Element of the 1990 General Plan. Recommended Monitodna: The Building Department and the City Engineer will monitor grading operations to assure that the above mitigation measures are complied with. The Building Department will review plans to assure that the energy conservation laws are enforced which will hive the added benefit of reducing interior noise levels. Public Services Impact Discussion: Fire Protection Fire and emergency medical services for the proposed project are provided by the City of Lynwood Fire Department.

MMI The project will be required to hook up to the existing sewer systems in the area. The flows from the proposed land uses are expected to be about the same as for the past land uses. According to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District the flow rates from single family, duplex, triplex, fourplex and industrial uses are 260, 312, 468, 624, and 200 gallons per day. The proposed Project is expected to generate 112,000 gallons of wastewater per day (200 units x 260 plus 300 x 200). Drainage The topography of the project site is relatively gentle with uniform slopes to the south from the north. The average slope Is approximately 1.0 percent. The storm runoff is contained in the existing storm drainage system. Gas and Electricity Electricity is provided to the project area by Southern California Edison. The Southern California Gas Company supplies natural gas to the project area through a fixed transmission and distribution system. Several major natural gas mains pass through Lynwood. Available natural gas supplies are sufficient to meet the existing needs of the proposed project. Gas and electricity demand for the proposed project are as follows: Electricity: 14,200 KWHlDay Gas: 75,000 CF/Day There is adequate water, sewer, drainage, gas and electricity to serve the proposed project and there will not be any significant impact on these utilities.

EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed In an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(0). a) Earlier analyses used_ Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. The 1990 General Plan Program Final Environmental impact Report and the 1988 Amendment No. 6 to the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area "A" Program Environmental Impact Report enabled the City of Lynwood to characterize the overall program as the project being approved at the time of those EIR approvals. Following this approach when individual activities within the Program are proposed, the City is required to examine the individual activities to determine whether their effects were fully analyzed in the Program EIR. If the activities would have no effect beyond those analyzed in the program EIR, the City could assert that the activities are merely part of the program which had been approved earlier, and no further CEQA compliance is required. Subsequent activities in the Program must be examined in light of the Program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental documentation must be prepared. If the proposed project would have effects that were not examined in the Program EIR, a new Written Checklist (Initial Study) would need to be prepared leading to either an EIR or a Negative Declaration. If the City of Lynwood finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no new effects could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the City can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the Program EIR and no new environmental document would be required. The City shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the Program EIR into subsequent actions in the Program. Where subsequent projectslactivities involve site specific operations, the City shall use a written checklist or similar devise to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were covered in the Program EIR. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above Page - 25 August 4, 2000 U 0 City of Lynwood — Plan Amendment No. S Initial Study i checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed by the earlier document andlor did not result in a significant impact on the environment. c) Mitigation measures.

INTRODUCTION The five year Implementation Plan guides the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency ( "Agency ") efforts to implement programs in two Redevelopment Project Areas within the City of Lynwood, the Alameda Project Area and Project Area "A" (together known as "Project Area "). This document describes the projects and programs the Agency will undertake to promote community revitalization, economic development and affordable housing for the five -year Implementation Plan period, 2010 — 2014. The Implementation Plan is a strategic plan that identifies goals, objectives, activities and estimated expenditures for the next five years, and describes how the activities and expenditures will alleviate blight and meet affordable housing objectives. The Implementation Plan has been prepared pursuant to California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) requirements that each redevelopment Agency prepare and adopt a five year Implementation Plan to guide an Agency in implementing its redevelopment programs within adopted project areas. The implementation plan includes an affordable housing component that allows the Agency to monitor its progress in meeting both the affordable housing requirements and obligations under the CRL and the affordable housing objectives of the community. The Affordable Housing Component (Chapter III) includes the Affordable Housing Production Plan, which summarizes historical and projected housing production, the affordable housing obligation and the Agency's progress in meeting the obligation. Additionally, the Housing Component includes the status of the Housing Fund and estimated annual deposits into the Housing Fund over the next five years. The Housing Program estimates the Housing Fund expenditures and affordable housing units to be assisted by the Housing Fund in each of the five years in the Implementation Plan period. This Implementation Plan is designed to ensure adequate flexibility for the Agency to manage changing circumstances and take advantage of new opportunities. The Agency expects that presently unknown constraints and opportunities will arise during implementation of the projects and activities described in this Implementation Plan. The timing, location, cost, scope and content of specific projects and programs identified in this document will vary in response to physical, economic, and political changes. Accordingly the Implementation Plan must be flexible enough to guide projects and programs without interfering with their implementation. In recognition of this need for flexibility, CRL requires that a public hearing must be held on the Implementation Plan prior to its adoption by the Agency and in the third year following adoption to review the Implementation Plan and evaluate the Agency's progress. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE PAGE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN A. ORGANIZATION The Implementation Plan contains the following information: 1. Goals and objectives for housing and non - housing activities over the next five years. 2. Programs and expenditures for both housing and non - housing activities over the next five years. 3. An explanation of how the goals, objectives, projects, programs and expenditures will assist in the elimination of blight and satisfy affordable housing obligations. 4. Other information related to the provision of affordable housing. Chapter I provides an overview of the CRL requirements, a description of the Project Area, and a summary of Agency accomplishments to date. Chapter II includes five year goals and objectives for the Project Area, the activities and related revenues and expenditures for the next five years, and a description of the blighting conditions and how they will be alleviated by the activities. Chapter III, the Housing Component, addresses affordable housing activities and expenditures, and charts the Agency's progress in meeting its affordable housing obligations. Chapter III also includes the Affordable Housing Production Plan. 1. Description of the Redevelopment Project Areas The City of Lynwood contains two project areas, Project Area "A" and the Alameda Project Area. This Implementation Plan addresses both project areas. • Project Area "A" was created on July 10, 1973 and has grown from an original land area of 20 -acres to contain approximately 734 acres today. Project Area "A" encompasses the primary circulation corridors, and select properties that abut these corridors, throughout the City of Lynwood, as well as property located at the East edge of the City between the Long Beach Freeway and Wright Road. The primary circulation corridors include Martin Luther King Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Long Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, and portions of Alameda Boulevard. As shown in Figure 1, Project Area "A" extends throughout the City of Lynwood and contains diverse commercial, residential, institutional and industrial uses, and public facilities including City Hall, schools, and recreation facilities. The project area is comprised of comparatively small land holdings under multiple ownerships. Project Area "A" contains the majority of retail and office uses within the City, and is home CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN to the Saint Francis Medical Center. The redevelopment of the Project Area is needed to support essential commerce and services for the City. Originally adopted on November 19, 1973, the Redevelopment Plan was subsequently amended on ten separate occasions to modify time and fiscal limits. The most recent amendments occurred on December 3, 2003 extending project area time limits and eliminating the time limit on establishing loans, advances, and indebtedness. Table I -1 summarizes time and fiscal limits and some key dates of the Redevelopment Plan.

As shown in Figure 1, the Alameda Project Area is located south of Century Boulevard and is bisected by Alameda Boulevard. The project area primarily contains light manufacturing /industrial uses and includes an industrial park and the Los Angeles County Regional Justice Center. The project area contains comparatively large land holdings, and is highly valued as a location that can support businesses that generate employment opportunities. Thus, the redevelopment of the Project Area plays a central role in the development and vitality of the City as a whole. Originally adopted on November 19, 1975, the Redevelopment Plan was subsequently amended five times to modify time and fiscal limits. The most recent amendments occurred on December 3, 2003 extending project area time limits and eliminating the time limit on establishing loans, advances, and indebtedness.

REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GOALS, PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES The Lynwood Redevelopment Agency is committed to supporting economic development by retaining existing business, helping businesses that are able to grow, and strategically recruiting new business to fill underserved market niches and to expand the City's tax base. The Redevelopment Agency remains committed to providing housing opportunities that match the needs of the Lynwood workforce. Centrally located between Interstates 105 and 710, Lynwood also has an opportunity to enhance the City's retail sales tax base by accommodating nationally recognized businesses that could serve the region. In the next five years, the Redevelopment Agency is interested in strengthening the economic vitality of CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE PAGE 10 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN the primary commercial corridors through Lynwood, particularly the Long Beach and Atlantic Avenue corridors, and in building on the strength of the Saint Francis Medical Center area to support synergistic uses that will support and enhance the medical core. This chapter describes the goals and objectives the Agency intends to implement over the next five years to fulfill these commitments and objectives. Projects, programs and activities that will further these goals are identified in the Implementation Table (Table II -1). The Implementation Table also provides an estimate of the cost of implementation and indicates how these activities will alleviate blight. As they are implemented, these programs and activities may be modified to better respond to community needs, economic conditions, and legislative activity. The cost estimates are preliminary and will be refined during the planning and implementation phases. Some of these programs and projects will occur over multiple implementation plan cycles and may incur costs in addition to those anticipated for the next five years. A. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goals and objectives for the Project Area for the five year Implementation Plan period, 2010 — 2014, intend to eliminate physical and economic blighting conditions and produce affordable housing while contributing to the economic vitality and self sufficiency of the community. These goals and objectives are influenced by, and are consistent with, the goals and objectives established by the Redevelopment Plans for Project Area "A" and the Alameda Project Area, as well as with the Lynwood General Plan. Together with zoning regulations, these documents will continue to guide development activities within the Project Area over the next five years. In addition to the above mentioned Plans and Codes, the City of Lynwood has adopted a Housing Element Amendment and the Long Beach Corridor Specific Plan. Both of these documents have been used to help guide Agency priorities and preferences related to economic development and housing issues. 1.

B. REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 2010 — 2014 The Agency will undertake projects and activities in the Project Areas to eliminate conditions that contribute to blight and to attain the Redevelopment Program goals. The Agency has resources to fund projects and programs, including funds from prior year bond proceeds and annual increases in tax increment revenues. These projects and activities have been categorized to match the four primary Implementation Plan Goals: • Economic Development • Public Improvements • Administration • Housing 1. Economic Development The Agency's will work to foster public /private partnerships and encourage private investment on key catalyst sites in the Project Area. Some of these sites are located along Long Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, and Martin Luther King Boulevard, around the Metro Station, in the vicinity of the Saint Francis Medical Center, and in the Civic Center area surrounding City Hall. The Agency will work to make the City an attractive place to invest through partnerships with businesses, by assembling land, and through investment in catalyst projects. Economic development activities may include but are not limited to the following. • Identify opportunity sites for, and provide assistance to, nationally recognized regional serving retail businesses, particularly in the Alameda Project Area. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 15 PAGE 16 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Assistance may include site assembly and remediation, infrastructure improvements, and entitlement, environmental, and technical support. • Create opportunities for the comprehensive redevelopment of the primary commercial corridors in Lynwood through activities such as planning studies and design standards, land assembly, and site preparation and remediation. • Invest funds in streetscape and fa$ade improvements within the Atlantic Avenue Corridor and along other commercial corridors. • Consider offering assistance to, or acquisition of, catalyst sites throughout the Project Area that can be leveraged to facilitate private investment in the near term. • Maintain sites currently occupied by high performing sales tax generators for the City. • Study the feasibility of providing assistance and incentives for owners to provide fagade improvements along the primary commercial corridors. • Implement the Long Beach Corridor Specific Plan to support economic revitalization efforts, and update the Specific Plan, as needed, to respond to market and development issues and implement the community vision. • Apply the City's Geographic Information System (GIS) to allow the City to map data to be used in its marketing and development efforts. • Strive to strengthen and retain the existing business community through maintaining and enhancing infrastructure, facilitating business interaction to enhance synergistic commercial relationships, and communicating the unique assets of Lynwood as a place of commerce through marketing campaigns that take advantage of all available media. • Formulate an economic development strategy, which includes the development of branding and key marketing messages for the City, as well as a marketing plan that uses available media resources to attract and support developers and businesses, particularly retailers. • Continue to partner and collaborate with business organizations on community events and marketing activities that promote the existing businesses community. CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Make use of available State and Federal funds to support economic development efforts within the community. 2. Public Improvements The public improvements to be assisted by the Agency include current and planned projects to revitalize the Long Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard corridors, expand the City's recreational facilities and enhance civic facilities. Possible public improvements may include, but are not limited to the following: • Improve the transportation and economic development environment of the Long Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard corridors through streetscaping, safety enhancements, gateway features, signage, and transit stop enhancements. • Ensure that adequate sewage collection treatment and disposal systems, and water storage, treatment and distribution system improvements are undertaken to serve existing and anticipated development. • Support improvements to public facilities to ensure adequate services are available to the youth and senior populations, and to enhance public service to the citizens of Lynwood. Support may include planning and design support, infrastructure improvements, and entitlement, environmental, and technical support. • Gateway and streetscape enhancements, including continued implementation of the picket fence program and other beautification programs. 3. Administration To maximize the alleviation of detrimental physical, social and economic conditions that contribute to blight, and to provide needed affordable housing, the Agency will undertake programs to optimize tax increment collection. Possible administrative programs include, but are not limited to the following: • Extending the time limits established for the Redevelopment Plans pursuant to §33333.6 and §33333.10 of the Health and Safety Code. • Monitoring project area expiration dates and developing a work program to ensure that the Agency is able to enter into necessary development and property disposition agreements prior to the Plan expiration dates. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 17 PAGE 18 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Preparing an "Advisory Housing Report" to comprehensively review the Agency's past housing obligations and Low and Moderate income Housing Fund expenditures and obligations. • Reinstating eminent domain authority in the Alameda Project Area. • Evaluating asset management options related to sale and use of properties in order to generate income for Agency. • Examining possible project area reconfiguration to increase housing opportunities and increase tax increment revenue. 4. Affordable Housing The Agency will work to expand affordable housing options to very low, low and moderate income families in Project Area "A ", and to provide relocation assistance and replacement housing in compliance with the California Redevelopment Law. The Agency will continue to dedicate 20 percent of its tax increment revenues towards the production or rehabilitation of affordable units and expects to issue tax allocation bonds for housing projects during the Implementation Plan period as follows: • Develop an affordable housing strategy for how to best use Agency resources for increasing the supply of affordable housing in the community. • Pursue housing programs and affordable housing development through partnerships with non - profit and for - profit housing developers. • Continue to implement the Agency's 15 percent inclusionary housing policy within the Project Area to generate needed low and moderate - income housing opportunities for Lynwood residents. C. LINKAGE BETWEEN PROGRAM AND ELIMINATION OF BLIGHTING INFLUENCES The CRL requires the Implementation Plan to explain how the goals, objectives, programs and expenditures for the next five years will serve to eliminate blight in a project area. This section describes the physical and economic conditions that continue to contribute to blight in the project area, and describes how the projects and programs identified in the implementation plan will help eliminate these conditions. CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1. Blighting Conditions in the Project Area Based on blight conditions identified in the original blight assessment, a visual reconnaissance of the project areas confirmed that, though much there has been substantial progress in the elimination of physical and economic conditions that contribute to blight in the Project Area, conditions of blight remain. The primary commercial corridors in Lynwood contain many properties that are vacant or underutilized and that have not yet been redeveloped. These areas continue to require substantial investment and other resources to make the upgrades necessary to become competitive. Without redevelopment assistance, neither the private sector alone, the public sector alone, nor the private and public sectors working together, can financially support the substantial costs of the Redevelopment Program. The blighting conditions listed below are substantive enough that redevelopment continues to present the most viable vehicle for financing improvements and programs that will remove blighting conditions. The remaining blighting conditions in the Project Area include: • Deficient or deteriorated buildings which are unsafe or unhealthy for people to live or work in as the result of infrastructure and code deficiencies. Such blighted conditions are still present throughout Project Area "A ", but are concentrated along Atlantic Avenue on the eastern side of the City. • Conditions prevent viable use of buildings that are designed, sited or constructed in a manner that no longer satisfies market expectations or community objectives as expressed in the Lynwood General Plan and zoning standards. • Incompatible land uses that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of buildings or lots. Lynwood is a built out community, with minimal areas of vacant land. The majority of the remaining vacant land is a result of remnant parcels from right -of way acquisitions, and sparsely located residential and commercial lots. There are a number of vacant parcels in the City, some of which are located along the City's commercial corridors located within Project Area "A ". Additional vacant and underutilized parcels are located within the Alameda Project Area. It is anticipated that future development of housing would occur as reutilization of sites, second units, and infill development on sites allowing for minced use. The City's Housing Element also identifies underutilized parcels where existing buildings and uses do not meet current zoning requirements and where redevelopment potential is highest. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 19 PAGE 20 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Substandard lots of irregular form, size and shape that are difficult to develop or redevelop because of physical constraints or because they are held in multiple ownerships. Future development will require the consolidation of existing parcels and updated zoning regulations to develop single family and multi - family housing. • High tenant turnover and relatively low lease rates, and unfortunately high levels of hazardous materials in the project area, combine to depreciate property values and make it difficult to attract private investment. Hazardous materials and contamination are issues that affect numerous sites in both Project Area "A" and the Alameda Project Area. Development scenarios and uses for several sites are limited by the level of contamination and the associated clean -up costs. • Some inadequate infrastructure exists within the redevelopment project areas that could place a high financial burden on individual development proposals. Whereas the existing sewage system provides enough capacity to meet existing and future demand for residential uses, one area in the City is still served by a septic system. It is located with Project Area "A" in an industrial area in the northwest section of the City. The Agency anticipates this area will continue with non - residential uses. Future development of this area for residential uses, however, would require a General Plan Amendment and associated EIR to evaluate and mitigate any potential deficiencies. 2. How the Agency's Proposed Goals, Objectives, Programs and Expenditures Will Eliminate Blighting Influences The Agency's proposed goals, objectives, programs and expenditures, as outlined in Sections A and B of this chapter will help eliminate blighting influences in the Project Area. Table II -1 provides a matrix summarizing the relationship between proposed projects and activities and how they will eliminate blight. Though this table represents the five -year Implementation Plan for the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency, it is organized to identify the highest priority programs and projects first. As projects and programs are implemented, the order of implementation will change to better respond to the Redevelopment objectives.

FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN EXPENDITURES Table II -2 summarizes the estimated non - housing program expenditures described in Table II -1 during the five year Implementation Plan period, 2010 — 2014. Expenditures implement the Agency goals and objectives for the Project Areas in a manner that reflects available revenues for funding projects and activities, and that most effectively addresses blighting conditions within the Project Area. The projected expenditures on Agency non- housing projects and activities included in Table II -2 are an estimate of potential tax increment revenues over the five years by the Redevelopment Program activities. TABLE II -2 SUMMARY OF PROJECTED FIVE YEAR NON - HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM EXPENDITURES 2010 - 2014 LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Facilitation of Private Investment Business Recruitment and Retention Public Improvements Total $9,900,000 - $18,900,000 $2,800,000 $2,300,000 $15,000,000 - $24,000,000 E. FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REVENUES Over the next five years, the Agency will undertake those activities that can be financially supported by its revenue stream. The Agency has three basic revenue sources: • Annual tax increment revenues, • Bond issuance proceeds, and • Other Agency and Non -Agency financial resources. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGF27 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1. Projected Funds for Non - Housing Program One of the main sources of revenue available to the Agency for its programs and projects has been and will continue to be property tax increment. Property tax increment is that portion of the total amount of property tax revenues collected annually from all the properties in the Project Area above the amount collected at the time the Project Area was adopted. The Agency projects that approximately $3.79 trillion in funds for the Alameda Area and $22.1 trillion for Project Area "A" will be available during the five year Implementation Plan period for non - housing projects, activities, expenses and payments. Table II -3 summarizes the Agency resources available for non - housing projects during the next five years. Table II -4 presents the supporting detailed projections including the tax increment revenues, low and moderate income housing set - aside, expenses, payments to taxing entities and debt service for the next five years in each of the project areas.

The estimated FY 2009/10 combined Redevelopment and Tax Increment fund balances plus other revenues will provide another $300,000 and $3.3 million for Alameda and Area "A" respectively. After deducting obligations including the Housing Fund deposits, pass - through payments, Agency administration costs, debt service payments, and other obligations, including the projected Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payments, the Agency will have an accumulated surplus of approximately $170,602 in the Alameda Area. In Project Area "A" there will be an accumulated surplus of approximately $1,251,459 (note that these amounts include beginning positive 2009/10 balances in the Tax Increment accounts of both project areas). The Agency will continue to have various administration and operational requirements associated with carrying out projects and activities. These will include program staff, planning functions and legal and other technical assistance. These costs are also represented in Table II -4. As required by the CRL, the Agency will invest its property tax increment revenue in the Project Area to revitalize the Project Area and eliminate blight. Projects and programs that encourage and expand local commercial, retail, industrial and residential opportunities will achieve the greatest return on Agency investment while creating local jobs, enhancing sales tax generation, and increasing property values. Increased property values result in increased tax increment revenues to the Agency, which can then be reinvested in the Project Area. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 29 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2. Proceeds from Future Bond Issuance The Agency has a maximum outstanding bonded indebtedness fiscal limit for the Project Area "A" of $100 million; there is no limit for the Alameda Project Area. In both project areas, projected growth in assessed property values would support new bond issues as early as 2011/12; however bond proceeds would be maximized by waiting until 2013/14. A bond issuance earlier than 2011/12 is not feasible due to obligations such as the Educational Revenue Augment Fund and outstanding pass - through payments. The maximum estimated bond proceeds total approximately $6.2 million. The bond sizing analyses contained in Appendix A is based on a 1% annual growth in assessed valuation in all Project Areas, and does not include the LMIH set -aside funds. Depending on the level of success of private development projects such as those listed in Table II -1 and others that may be induced by the redevelopment programs, there is the possibility for future bond issues if those completed projects increase the overall assessed valuations in the Project Areas above the assumed 1% level. The sizing analyses assume issuance of tax exempt bonds at an interest rate of 6 %. 3. Other Agency and Non - Agency Financial Resources The Agency will continue to leverage other Agency and non -Agency funds in connection with its redevelopment efforts. If more funds are received, the Agency could undertake additional activities. To assist with financing eligible projects, the Agency could seek local, state and federal funding sources, including the City of Lynwood, Los Angeles County, Southern California Association of Governments, the State of California, and the federal government.

HOUSING COMPONENT In addition to the housing obligations established by the CRL, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency is obligated to provide housing in compliance with the Notice of Ruling for Rogel vs. Redevelopment Agency City of Lynwood. Together, the CRL and Rogel Ruling establish the Agency's housing obligations. This section describes the framework for the Agency's Housing Program goals and expenditures. Pursuant to State law, the Agency is guided by the City's General Plan Housing Element. This chapter is organized as follows: • Section A includes the Housing Production Plan. • Section B describes the Replacement Housing Plan. • Section C details the Housing Fund deposits and expenditures for five years. • Section D includes the Agency's Affordable Housing Program. • Section E describes the completion of housing obligations. The Housing Component of the Implementation Plan is required to set forth housing goals and objectives for the five year Implementation Plan period (2010 — 2014); present estimates of Housing Fund deposits, describe potential projects and estimated expenditures planned for the five year implementation plan period; and explain how the stated goals, objectives, deposits, programs, projects and expenditures will produce affordable housing units to meet these obligations. The implementation plan includes the following affordable housing planning components: • The Housing Production Plan, including the total number of housing units estimated to be produced and the number of affordable housing units to be produced for two time periods: — For the 10 -year compliance period (2010 — 2019), and — Over the life of the Redevelopment Plan (through July 2029 for Project Area "A" and through January 2016 for the Alameda Project Area). • Identification of proposed locations for necessary replacement housing. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 35 PAGE 36 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Amount available in the Housing Fund, estimates of annual deposits into the Housing Fund during the five year Implementation Plan period, and the Agency's plans for using the annual deposits to the Housing Fund, including estimated expenditures of moneys from the Housing Fund during each of the five years. • The Affordable Housing Program with estimates of the number of new, rehabilitated or price restricted affordable housing units to be assisted by the Housing Fund during each of the five years. • A description of how the Affordable Housing Program will implement the Housing Fund expenditure targeting and other requirements. A. HOUSING PRODUCTION PLAN AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING OBLIGATION This section constitutes the Housing Production Plan for the Agency's 10 -year housing compliance period and over the life of the Project area. It includes estimates of housing production subject to the affordable housing production requirement and the Agency's strategy for meeting its affordable housing production obligation. The Alameda Project Area was adopted in 1975 and is therefore exempt from the inclusionary requirements of AB 1290 and its amendments. Project Area "A" was established in 1973 but was amended in 1981 and 1989 to add land area, and is, therefore subject to the affordable housing production requirement. For Agency produced housing units, the CRL inclusionary housing obligation requires at least 30 percent of all new or substantially rehabilitated housing units developed by the Agency be affordable to persons and families of very low, low or moderate income. Of those units, at least 50 percent must be affordable to very low - income households. This requirement applies only to units developed by an Agency and does not apply to units developed by housing developers pursuant to agreements with an Agency. The Agency has not directly developed housing in the past, nor does it have plans to do so in the future. Therefore, the Agency does not have an affordable housing production requirement of 30 percent with respect to Agency-developed housing. When new dwelling units are developed in a project area by public or private entities other than the Agency or when housing is substantially rehabilitated in a project area by public or private entities with Agency assistance, the CRL requires that at least 15 percent of these units must be affordable to very low, low or moderate income households. Of those units, at CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN least 40 percent must be affordable to very low- income households. This affordable housing production requirement applies to the Project Area, as discussed below. Units produced toward the Agency's affordable housing production obligation are also required by the CRL to meet the length of affordability covenant standards. Currently, affordability covenants are to be no less than 55 years for rental units and 45 years for owner occupied units to meet CRL housing production requirements. Over the life of the Agency, the duration requirements for affordability covenants have changed. The Agency housing production units and regulatory agreements reflect these changes to state law. The Agency's affordable housing production requirement must be satisfied in the aggregate for each successive ten -year period during the life of the Redevelopment Plan, as well as over the life of the Redevelopment Plan. Consequently, the Housing Production Plan is organized to meet CRL requirements for each 10 -year compliance period as well as over the life of the Plan. The Housing Production Plan compliance periods for the Agency are as follows for each project area: 1973 —2009 1975— 2009 2 2010-2019 2010 — January 2016 3 2020 — July 2029 NA 1. Housing Production and Obligation (through FY 2008109) On March 23, 2009 the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles issued a Notice of Ruling in the case of Esperanza Rogel et.al vs. Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lynwood. Among other things, the Ruling establishes the Agencies inclusionary housing obligation [Health and Safety Code §33413(b)] and replacement housing obligations [Health and Safety Code $33413(a)] as described in Table III -2: CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 37 PAGE 38 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TABLE III -1 HOUSING REQUIREMENT UNDER NOTICE OF RULING ROGEL VS.

The Rogel Ruling also stipulates that the Agency will: • Establish, fund and administer a separate and segregated Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund ( LMIHF) in accordance with California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL); • Deposit $312,000 plus accrued interest in to the LMIHF as an initial deposit to account for LMIHF fund obligations that were [Hissed or deficient between fiscal years 1994 -1995 and the current fiscal year, 2008 -2009; CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN . Deposit $250,000 into the LMIHF within eighteen months of the court order (March 31, 2009) to account for planning and administrative costs due to the fund; and • Requires the Agency to hire a redevelopment specialists to render an opinion in an Advisory Housing Report regarding any other actions necessary to bring the Agency into complete compliance with the law, including; i) an opinion of the Agency's outstanding replacement and inclusionary housing obligations; ii) an opinion of the Agency's outstanding affordability covenants with respect to the replacement and inclusionary units that must constructed or rehabilitated in compliance with the ruling and since fiscal year 1994 -1995; ii) an opinion of the propriety of Agency expenditures from its LMIHF since fiscal year 1996 -1997 to March 31, 2009; and iii) an opinion of the Agency's obligations with respect to excess surplus amounts and any related interest and penalties. The Implementation Plan contains Housing Production and Replacement Housing plans to implement the Rogel Ruling and CRL. It is possible that findings from the pending Advisory Housing Report regarding housing obligations, LMIH fund accounting or other critical data may differ from the information contained in this Implementation Plan and may require that modifications be made to the content of this plan. Following the Rogel Ruling, the Agency completed several housing projects that resulted in the production or substantial rehabilitation of below market rate units. The Agency reports that 19 housing units were developed or substantially rehabilitated in Project Area A through 2009, and 5 units were developed or substantially rehabilitated outside of the project area during the same period. Table III -1 summarizes the type and affordability levels of these housing units. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 39 PART II: PROPERTY DISPOSITION & USE PROGRAM CHANGES: Also stated as part of the Plan, the Implementation Plan identifies the most probable implementation activities over the period between FY 10 /11 and FY 14/15. Other, unforeseen, public and private projects may become feasible and beneficial in eliminating blight or providing housing, it may be necessary to make changes to programs and activities and to the priorities assigned to those programs and activities. Whether or not identified in the Implementation Plan, projects and programs may be constructed or funded by the Agency during the period covered by this Implementation Plan, if the agency finds that: 1. The goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plans are furthered; 2. Specific conditions of physical or economic blight within the Project areas will be mitigated in whole or in part through implementation of the project; and 3. Project specific conditions, including financial feasibility, require the implementation of the project at the time in question. In light of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency and our ever changing economy, we request the ability to reserve the stated right to address the use of included properties to best suit the current needs of the Community in accordance with stated goals and objectives for the Redevelopment Plan. z } O U Z U W U (D 0 Q O Of z p W N ' O a ?

Ten -Year Production and Obligation (2010 — 2019) To estimate the number of housing units that need to be affordable to households earning less than 120% of the County median income, the Agency has evaluated past housing production activity, existing housing obligations, available vacant and underdeveloped property, the RHNA allocation, and existing land use requirements. Historically, housing production within the project area has been limited by the fact that much of the land is located within the public right -of -way or along commercial corridors. The Rogel Ruling will result in a more rapid pace of residential development during this Implementation Plan cycle, but the Agency anticipates the pace of residential development to return to the historically slower average of approximately 6 units a year in subsequent Implementation Plan cycles. Table III -3 contains a Forecast of the total number of units, the number of affordable units, and the number of units that will be affordable to very low income households the Agency will produce in the next 10 years. 3. Production and Obligation over the Life of the Redevelopment Plan The Agency has also evaluated the potential for future housing production in the Project Area and developed a projection of units likely to be produced over the life of the Redevelopment Plan. These projections are based on the potential for new development on existing vacant residential parcels, the opportunity for substantial rehabilitation with Agency assistance, the possibility for federal and state funding, and the anticipated date of development. Table III -3 includes a forecast of housing activity for the duration of the Redevelopment Plan that is based on historical production and an analysis of remaining developable residential land, the potential for substantial rehabilitation with Agency assistance, and other opportunities. Using these factors, the Agency has forecast housing development for the duration of the Redevelopment Plan.

Agency's Plan to Meet Its Affordable Housing Obligation The Agency has supported, and will continue supporting, the development of affordable housing both inside and outside the Project Area. Anticipated future projects will continue the Agency's compliance through the remaining life of the Redevelopment Plan. The Agency will continue to provide assistance to units outside of the Project Area as well as units within the Project Area. The Agency plans to meet its obligation through Agency assistance for affordable housing development and substantial rehabilitation performed primarily by private and non - profit affordable housing developers. Table III 4 identifies projects the Agency is actively pursuing to provide additional housing opportunities in Lynwood, and Table III -5 provides a comparison between the Agencies Housing Obligation and anticipated production in the next 5 and 10 years. In March of 2005, the City of Lynwood adopted an ordinance that requires all residential development projects within Project Area "A" of seven or more units to construct fifteen percent of the total number of dwelling units within the development as affordable units. Units must be made available to Moderate, Low and Very Low income households based on prescribed standards provided in Article 24 of the Municipal Code. The inclusionary housing ordinance will assist the Agency in meeting its affordable housing obligation. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 43 Z O U D } 0(.)

REPLACEMENT HOUSING Pursuant to the Rogel Ruling, the Agency has an obligation to construct, or substantially- rehabilitate forty -nine (49) replacement dwelling units by March 31, 2015. The agency also anticipates the need to replace 21 units that would be displaced as the result of constructing the three projects. Specifically, the Agency expects to replace 17 units that would be displaced while constructing the Park Place Project, two units that would be displaced as the result of constructing the project at 4237 Imperial Highway, and two units that would be demolished in conjunction with a project at 3187 — 3119 Norton. The Agency has adopted a Replacement Housing Plan for each of these projects and expects to complete replacement housing construction pursuant to Table III -6.

C. LOW AND MODERATE - INCOME HOUSING FUND The CRL requires an agency to set aside 20 percent of its annual tax increment revenues into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (Housing Fund) for the purpose of increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of affordable housing. The primary funding source for the Agency's affordable housing activities during the Implementation Plan period will be the 20 percent portion of annual tax increment revenue deposited by the Agency into its Housing Fund. The Agency will also seek to combine its Housing Fund revenue with other funding sources devoted to the provision of affordable housing to maximize the number of affordable units that can be developed or rehabilitated with available Housing Funds. Federal funding sources include the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Development (on a project- specific basis). Statewide sources of funding include revenues from the 2006 Proposition 1C, targeting spending on affordable housing production near transportation centers. The Agency can develop nonprofit partnerships to allow the City to leverage local funds with outside sources such as California Housing Finance Commission (CalHFA), Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) program funds, the Low- Income Housing Tax Credit program, bond proceeds, and private investments. The history, status and estimated future level of deposits to the Housing Fund are described below. 1. Income Levels and Affordable Housing Costs Agencies are specifically required to expend their Housing Fund moneys to assist very low, low and moderate income households, generally defined as: + Very Low - Incomes up to 50 percent of area median - income, adjusted for household size; + Low - Incomes from 50 percent up to 80 percent of area median - income, adjusted for household size; and • Moderate - Incomes from 80 percent up to 120 percent of area median- income, adjusted for household size. Table III -7 shows the maximum income limits for each income level by household size, published in 2008 by the HCD utilizing income limits prepared by HUD for Los Angeles County.

Rental housing costs include rent and utility allowance. Affordable housing costs are adjusted by number ofperrons in household b. The CRL requires HCD median income figures pub fished by HCD, and not HUD, to be utilized In many instances, this causes CRL- restricted rents to be lower than HOME rents and low income housing tax credit rents. In the instance aproject receives Housing Fund and HOME or tax credit assistance, the owner must comply with all opphcable legal requirements and the lower CRL- restricted rerets will prevail u With optional higher bowing cost linked to actual income at upper end of income category. Source: CRL Sections 50052.5 and 50053(b). 2, History and Status The Agency has made deposits to the Housing Fund in an amount not less than 20 percent of the cumulative tax increment revenue allocated to the Agency. At the end of FY 2009 /10, the Housing Fund balance is estimated to be $1,497,355 in Project Area "A ", and $951,201 in the Alameda Project .area. As described below, no excess surplus funds are expected within Project Area A, but there is the potential for excess surplus funds in the Alameda Project Area. CITY OF LYNw000 PAGE 49 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN LMIHF Excess Surplus Area "A" Alameda L.,VIIHF 2009 -10 (estimated ending balance) $1,497,355 $951,201 Aggregate Deposited 2006 -2009 53-75539 $717,169 Potential Excess Surplus - $2,258,037 $234,032 3. Estimated Revenues During the implementation Plan Period The Agency estimates that the cumulative deposit of tax increment revenue into the Housing Fund between FY 2009/10 and FY 2013/14, will be $5,437,000 in Project Area "A" and $895,600 in the Alameda Project Area as shown in Table III -9. After deducting Agency administration costs and debt service, the [agency will have approximately $5.7 million available for its Housing Program through FY 2013/14. 4. Estimated Expenditures During the Implementation Plan Period To carry out the Agency's Affordable Housing Program, described in Section D, the Agency estimates expenditures for housing activities of approximately $9.89 million as shown in Table III -6. Projected tax increment revenue deposits to the Housing Fund over the next five years ($5.72 million) and the current Housing Fund balance ($3.35 Million would provide approximately $9.07 million for housing projects and programs and leave the Agency with an anticipated $820,000 shortfall. To adequately fund the Agency's planned expenditures for housing projects and activities during the Implementation Plan period as well as to cover estimated administrative expenses, the Agency will need to issue bonds, allocate additional Tax Increment, or find additional funding sources (e.g. Tax Credits, CDBG & Home Program Funds, etc.). The Agency plans to spend its Housing Fund to target specific income groups and non -age restricted housing as required by the CRL and as described in Section D below. The Agency will make every effort to encourage the development of housing affordable to a variety of income levels and needs. By combining various funding sources, and in partnership and collaboration with others dedicated to the development of affordable housing, the Agency is confident it will be able to meet its housing expenditure obligations.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM During the five year Implementation Plan period, the Agency will concentrate on housing activities that are most applicable to the Agency's goals and objectives. In developing its Affordable Housing Program, the Agency has been guided by the goals, policies and programs of the City's Housing Element. Implementation Plan housing objectives will help the City implement the following Housing Element goals: • Conserve and improve Lynwood's existing affordable housing supply. • Facilitate and encourage the development of the housing to meet regional housing needs allocations established by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). • Expand housing opportunities for the elderly, the disabled, and households with very low to moderate income, and persons with special housing needs. • Prohibit discrimination in the provision of housing based on race, color, religion, sex, age, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, disability, or sexual orientation, and to promote equal housing opportunities. • Adopt and implement a Housing Element that is in compliance with State law and the requirements of the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The Agency is committed to creating affordable housing that assists the City in achieving the goals presented in the Housing Element, as permitted under the CRL. 1. Affordable Housing Program Components The Agency recognizes the important role of the Affordable Housing Program and its activities in its overall Redevelopment Program. Consequently, the proposed Affordable Housing Program should be viewed not simply as the means of implementing the Agency's stated goals and objectives related to affordable housing, but as a key element in its overall blight alleviation and revitalization efforts. The Agency's Affordable Housing Program has two primary components, development of an affordable housing strategy and its implementation. CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN a. Development of an Affordable Housing Sttategy The Agency plans to develop a housing strategy for how to best use Agency resources for increasing the supply of affordable housing in the community. The housing strategy will include specific programs aimed to address the community's housing needs. Programs to be considered may include Agency- assisted multifamily rental housing, affordable housing agreements with developers, a rental rehabilitation loan program, and a homebuyer assistance program. Staff will return to the Agency Board with a detailed housing strategy. All of the programs in the strategy must comply with the requirements outlined in the Rogel Ruling and must also be accordance with CRL. b. New Projects and Programs Based on the affordable housing strategy, the Agency will pursue housing programs and development projects through partnerships with non -profit housing agencies and developers. To successfully meet its obligations and accomplish the goals set forth in this plan, the Agency will also need to allocate funds and resources towards complimentary activities. Activities that directly support compliance with the Rogel Ruling, CRL and the goals of this Implementation Plan include: • Acquisition — Any funds or activities that support the acquisition of land or properties to meet the Agency's goals and obligations. • Site assembly — Any funds or activities that support the assemblage of parcels to create a site that can be fully developed in accordance with the goals and obligations of this plan, and within the context of current market conditions in the City. • Site preparation — Any finds or activities required to prepare a site to attract or encourage development within the context of prevailing market conditions in the City. • Design — Any funds or activities to support the architecture and design of developments to meet the • Technical Assistance — Any funds or activities to support the Agency's ability to perform its work in an efficient and timely manner within the parameters of CRL. These activities include the Redevelopment Specialist to perform the Advisory Housing Report as stipulated in the Rogel Ruling. CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 53 PAGE 54 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2. Proposed Affordable Housing Activities The Agency plans to target its Housing Fund to provide affordable housing units for the changing needs of the community. The Housing Fund will be utilized in conjunction with other funding sources to serve very low, low and moderate income households based on the community's fair share of regional housing needs as determined by SCAG and the Agency's determination and prioritization of the community's housing needs. The Agency staff has begun to identify sites for development of affordable housing. They will continue to work with nonprofit developers regarding the most feasible ways to develop affordable housing and will continue to leveraging Agency funds to the greatest extent possible. While not an exhaustive list, the projects identified in Table III -13 are expected to form the backbone of the Agency's housing efforts during the Implementation Plan cycle. The Agency will continue to explore opportunities to develop affordable multifamily and senior housing units in the Project Area. The Agency will encourage the preservation and development of housing affordable to a variety of income levels by combining various funding sources. Leveraging other funding sources devoted to the provision of affordable housing will maximize the number of affordable units that can be developed or substantially rehabilitated. By partnering and collaborating with other entities dedicated to the preservation and development of affordable housing, the Agency is confident that it will be able to meet its affordable housing production obligations and expenditure requirements within the compliance period ending in FY 2013/14, as well as over the life of the Redevelopment Plan. It should be noted, however, that several factors may result in estimated expenditures and unit production being either less than or greater than what is projected for any given year. These factors include the timing of the development process, the levels of Housing Fund revenue and other public assistance, development opportunities, land availability, cost of construction material and labor, cost of financing, neighborhood acceptance, environmental, and other issues. 3. Affordable Housing Assisted by Housing Fund The Agency expects to take advantage of various opportunities to preserve and facilitate the development of housing affordable to households whose basic needs are not met by the private housing market in a manner that is consistent with the CRL and the City's Housing Element. CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Agency will utilize its Housing Fund as well as other local, state and federal funding sources to assist nonprofit developers to create and preserve affordable housing within the community as well as to meet the CRL's housing production and expenditure requirements. Table III -12 presents the housing units to be assisted by the Housing Fund over the Implementation Plan period, as well as through the CRL production compliance period ending in FY 2013/14. In summary, from FY 2007 /08 through FY 2013/14, the Agency plans to assist in the production of 142 affordable housing units. Please note the number of affordable housing units in Table III -12 does not correspond to the number of affordable housing units in Table III -4, which presents affordable housing units produced with and without Agency assistance. Affordable units produced outside the Project Area are counted on a one for two basis for purposes of calculating the affordable housing produced to meet the affordable housing production obligations presented in Table III -2. 4. Housing Fund Targeting Requirement The CRL imposes Housing Fund expenditure requirements based on the proportion of the unmet need for housing affordable to households of very low, low and moderate incomes. It also limits the percentage of Housing Fund expenditures that can be spent on age restricted housing. The Housing Fund expenditure requirements must be met over the duration of the 10 -year compliance periods. Compliance with targeting requirements is measured based on dollars expended over the current compliance period, which spans from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2014. The following sections describe in greater detail the Agency's requirements to target the Housing Fund expenditures by income need and non -age restricted housing. a. Tatgeting According to Income Need Agencies must target the use of Housing Fund moneys to specific income levels. Funds must be spent to assist low and moderate income households in at least the same proportion as the ratio of (1) the total number of housing units needed for each of these income groups in the community to (2) the number of units needed for very low, low and moderate income groups within the community. This income- targeting obligation must be met over the 10- year compliance period. However, the initial period for meeting this requirement is January 1, 2002, the date the targeting requirement became effective, through the 10 -year compliance period ending in December 31, 2014. The regional fair share housing need allocation must be used to determine the targeting obligation. SCAG has determined the affordable housing need for the City of Lynwood in CITY OF LYNWOOD PAGE 55 PAGE 56 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN its regional fair share allocation for 2007 through 2014. Table III -10 shows the fair share allocation applicable to the Agency for housing affordable to persons at or below 120 percent of median income. TABLE III -10 SCAG REGIONAL FAIR SHARE ALLOCATIONS 2007 -2014 AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEED BY INCOME CATEGORY, CITY OF LYNWOOD Income LeN el 2007 -2014 RHNA Need Extremely Low2 44 Very Low 45 Low 55 Moderate 60 Above Moderate 159 Total 363 As Table III -10 indicates, the Agency is required to expend Housing Fund moneys in the following proportions: at least 28 percent for units affordable to very low- income households, at least 34 percent for units affordable to low- income households, and no more than 38 percent on housing affordable to moderate income households. However, the Agency is entitled to expend a disproportionate amount of the funds for very low- income households, and to subtract a commensurate amount from the low and /or moderate - income thresholds. Similarly, the Agency can provide a disproportionate amount of funding for low- income housing by reducing the amount of funds allocated to housing affordable to moderate income households. In no event can the expenditures targeted to housing affordable to moderate income households exceed the RHNA proportion of homes in this category 38 percent). The Agency plans to meet its income targeting requirements based on its fair share of regional housing needs as determined by SCAG in the proportions described above, from January 1, 2002 through the end of the compliance period in 2014. b. Targeting to Non -Age Restricted Housing In addition to the requirement outlined above, as of January 1, 2002, a defined minimum percentage of Housing Fund moneys must be spent on housing available to all persons CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN regardless of age. In 2005, the state legislature amended the method of determining the minimum percentage of Housing Fund moneys spent on non -age restricted housing. This minimum is equal to the percentage of Lynwood's low- income households with a member under age 65, as reported in the most recent U.S. Census. The 2000 CHAS data for Lynwood indicates that 92.13 percent of the City's low- income households have a householder under 65 years of age (Refer to Table III -11.). Thus, the Agency must expend at least 92.13 percent of its funds on housing that does not impose age restrictions on residents. This targeting obligation must be met over the compliance period.

COMPLETION OF HOUSING OBLIGATIONS The CRL requires that the Agency comply with and fulfill its affordable housing responsibilities, including housing fund, replacement housing, and affordable housing production responsibilities, over the 10 -year compliance periods and prior to the expiration of the time limit on redevelopment plan effectiveness. The law further requires that for a redevelopment project that is within six years of reaching its limit on plan effectiveness, an implementation plan needs to address the ability of the Agency to comply with its housing responsibilities. The Agency's Project Areas will not reach its time limit on plan effectiveness prior to the expiration of this Implementation Plan and is not within six years of reaching this time limit. 1. Affordable and Replacement Housing Obligation - Notice of Ruling On March 23, 2009 the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles issued a Notice of Ruling in the case of Esperanza Rogel etal vs. Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lynwood. Among other requirements of the stipulated settlement the LRA is required to provide over the period of Feb. 23 2009 to March 31, 2015 the following units of affordable and housing units: TABLE III -13 HOUSING REQUIREMENT UNDER ROGEL VS.

Affordable Housing Cost Analysis The cost to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency of the Notice of Ruling settlement is estimated using an affordability gap analysis. The cost of providing market -rate units- -both for sale and for rent - -is compared to the mortgage payments and rents affordable by very- low, low and moderate income households. The difference between the market rates (sales price and annual fair market rents) and the payment or rent limits is equivalent to the Agency's obligation to provide the housing units under the Notice of Ruling. In this analysis the cost of constructing a new unit and the cost of providing a substantially rehabilitated unit are essentially equivalent in terms of the cost to the Agency. The affordability gap analysis assumes that the financing costs to construct or acquire new, or rehabilitated units will consider the revenue stream from mortgage payments and rents and that the Agency's share supplements payments and rents toward a financing package for a housing project. a Affordable Houses Cost Analysis - Rental Units The housing cost limits for renter - occupied units given in Table III -S have been annualized in Table III -14 below. The maximum annual rents are net of the annual utility allowances.

Table III -16 indicates the number of required units under the Notice of Ruling that are allocated to rental units. In this analysis, 61 of the required 91 units are assumed to be rental units, with at least 50% in the very low income range and the remainder in low and moderate range. Note there are no Studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units allocated for moderate income since no subsidy is needed for those units in that income range. Table III -17 shows the total subsidy needed for each category of unit type and income range and calculates the total annual subsidy required to provide 61 rental units.

A. PLAN REVIEW At least once within the third year of the Implementation Plan term, the Agency will hold a public hearing for the purpose of reviewing the adopted Redevelopment Plans and the corresponding Implementation Plan to evaluate the progress of the Redevelopment Projects. B. PROGRAM CHANGES This Implementation Plan identifies the most probable implementation activities over the period between FY 10/11 and FY 14/15. Other, unforeseen, public and private projects may later become feasible and beneficial in eliminating blight or providing housing, it may be necessary to make changes to programs and activities and to the priorities assigned to those programs and activities. Whether or not identified in the Implementation Plan, projects and programs may be constructed or funded by the Agency during the period covered by this Implementation Plan, if the agency finds that: • The goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plans are furthered; • Specific conditions of physical or economic blight within the Project areas will be mitigated in whole or in part through implementation of the project; and CITY OF LYNWOOD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Project specific conditions, including financial feasibility, require the implementation of the project at the time in question. C. FUNDING CHANGES The Agency has the ability to utilize funds from a variety of sources, including financial assistance from the City, State of California, federal government, property tax increments, interest income, bonds or any other legally available revenue source, to implement the Redevelopment Plan. While generally reliable, such funds are subject to legislative, policy, and program changes that could reduce available funding. Similarly, tax increment revenues are subject to adjustment as the result of events not controlled by the Agency which reduce the taxable value of land or improvements in the Project Area. As the result of these uncertainties, funding that is estimated to be available during the Implementation Plan term is subject to modification, re- prioritization, or cancellation by the Agency. D.
