On April 12, 1982 the City Council further adopted Resolution No. 1982-23 captioned: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT DESIGNATING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTIES AS BEING INCLUDED WITHIN A SURVEY AREA FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CONSIDERA- TIONS; AND DIRECTING STAFF, THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT AGENCY TO PREPARE THE NECESSARY PUBLIC HEARINGS AND PREPARE THE NECESSARY REPORTS FOR CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF BEAUMONT COMMUNITY IMPROVE- MENT PROJECT AREA(S) AND PLAN(S)" Section 3. The Planning Commission of the City of Beaumont, in conjunc- tion with the Beaumont Community Improvement Agency has, by Resolution No. 82-1, designated the Beaumont Community Improvement Project Area. Section 4. The Beaumont Community Improvement Agency by Resolution No. BCI 82-8 approved on May 10, 1982, and the Planning Commission of the City of Beaumont by Resolution No. PC 82-1 approved on May 4, 1982 have prepared and approved a Preliminary Community Improvement Plan for the Beaumont Community Improvement Project Area. Section 5. The Beaumont City Council has received from the Beaumont Community Improvement Agency the proposed Community Improvement Plan for the Community Improvement Project, as approved by the Agency, a copy of which is on file at the office of the Agency at 550 East 6th Street, Beaumont, Cali- fornia, and at the office of the City Clerk, City Hall, 550 East 6th Street, Beaumont, California, together with the Report of the Agency including the reasons for the selection of the Project Area, a description of the physical, social, and economic conditions existing in the Project Area, the proposed method of financing the improvement of the Project Area, a plan for the re- location of business owners and tenants who may be temporarily or permanently displaced from the Project Area, an analysis of the Preliminary Plan, the report and recommendations of the Planning Commmission of the City of Beau- mont, a summary of meetings with Project Area Committee, an Environmental Impact Report on the Community Improvement Plan, the report of the County Fiscal Officer and the Agency's analysis thereof, and a neighborhood impact report. - Section 6. The Planning Commission has submitted to the Council its report and recommendations for approval of the Community Improvement Plan, and its certification that the Community Improvement Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of Beaumont. Section 7. The Beaumont Community Improvement Agency has found and determined that the Beaumont Community Improvement Project Area is charac- terized by the conditions of blight which are hereinafter set forth. These conditions represent physical, social, and economic liabilities which require a community improvement plan in order to properly provide for the development of these properties in a manner which is consistent with, and in the interest of, general welfare. In addition, the Community Improvement Plan shall be a guideline for implementing the objectives set forth hereinafter so as to insure that the policies, goals, and objectives of the Beaumont Community Improvement Agency, the Beaumont City Council, and the laws of the State of California are complied with and implemented in a manner which is most in keeping with the general welfare. The blight characterized in the Beaumont Community Improvement Project Area constitutes a physical, social, or economic liability in the community requiring improvement in the interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the community, and further that this blight is caus- ing a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social, or economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. Section 8. The conditions of blight which exist in the Beaumont Commu- nity Improvement Project Area include, but are not limited to: a) Undeveloped, unproductive, or underdeveloped vacant land throughout the area, often littered with debris or used for open storage of junk -type materials. b) Inadequate street system to serve potential parking, circulation, and loading demands. c) Poor access to proposed commercial developments which encourages traffic to travel through adjacent residential areas. d) Residential land uses mixed with commercial and industrial uses not suitable for a safe and healthful residential environment and business community. e) Inadequate street lighting, lack of curbs and gutters, and poor public improvements and facilities. f) Existence of substandard industrial, commercial, and residential structures and imcompatible uses throughout the area resulting in social and economic liability. g) The need for additional public and private utilities in order to accommodate the recycling of properties within the Project Area boundaries including the need for additional water service, storm drains, and sewer facilities and for the development of fire protection and prevention facilities. h) The lack of proper ulitization of many properties within the Pro- ject Area boundaries resulting in development constraints on a number of these properties, thus producing a stagnant and unproduc- tive condition of land which is otherwise potentially useful and valuable. i) The unproductive use of land resulting from fragmented ownership of certain parcels of property which are of peculiar development characteristics and/or miscellaneous sizes. j) The unimproved, defective, and/or inadequate construction of street improvements and public/private utilities within the Project Area which has resulted from the uncoordinated development pattern of certain of the properties within the Project Area. k) The lack of adequate public facilities, including open space and other places of recreational activity, which are necessary to serve the property within the Project Area boundaries. 1) Mix and inefficient land utilization of the Central Business Dis- trict resulting in a decline in the economic solidarity of this business area and the Project Area including inadequate parking facilities and circulation networks. m) A street pattern which is inadequate to provide for safe and effi- cient vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation. n) The inadequate and/or inefficient use of the flood control channel and public utility easements which traverse the Project Area bound- aries and which increasingly become physical barriers and barren parcels of property which physically blight the immediatley adjacent properties and the remainder of the properties within the Project Area. o) The combination of social, economic, and physical adverse conditions in the Project Area which contribute substantially and increasingly to the problem of, and necessitate excessive and disproportionate p) q) expenditures for, crime prevention, correction, prosecution, and punishment, the treatment of juvenile delinquency, the preservation of the public health and safety, and the maintaining of adequate police, fire, and accident protection and other public services and facilities. The potential utilization of properties and thoroughfares in the community resulting in social, physical, economic, and environmental blight which the City has limited means to mitigate. Inadequate planning of the freeways or major highways which traverse the Project Area with the corresponding failure to provide for the physical and social needs of those persons and properties which are adjacent to, and in close proximity with, the freeways or major highways. In this regard, it is obvious that the noise, debris, and other pollutants which are generated by the freeways or major highways are blighting conditions which negatively impact the prop- erty within the Project Area. Provision must be made to minimize or eliminate those conditions and to insure compatibility between the properties adjacent to, and in close proximity with, the free- ways or major highways. Section 9. The Beaumont City Council does determine and declare that the City Council's purpose and intent with respect to adopting the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan and Project Area is: a) The elimination of existing blighted conditions, be they properties or structures, and the prevention of recurring blight in and about the Project Area. b) The development of property within a coordinated land use pattern of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and public facilities in the Project Area consistent with the goals, policies, objectives, standards, guidelines, and requirements as set forth in the City's adopted General Plan and Zoning Regulations. c) The development of public services and facilities including, but not limited to, recreational, maintenance, and operation services and facilities as are necessary and required for the development of the Project Area. d) The elimination of environmental deficiencies including inadequate street improvements, inadequate utility systems, and inadequate public services; and mitigation of freeway or major highway impacts, including its circulation movement and its potential social, phys- ical, and environmental characteristics of blight. e) The development of a more efficient and effective circulation cor- ridor system, free from hazardous vehicular, pedestrian, and bi- cycle interfaces and designed to their ultimate circulation flow. f) The implementation of techniques to mitigate blight characteristics resulting from exposure to freeway or major highway activity and public right-of-way corridors which affect adjacent properties within the Project Area. Beautification activities to eliminate all forms of blight, includ- ing but not limited to, visual blight in order to encourage com- munity identity. The encouragement, promotion, and assistance in the development and expansion of local commerce and needed commercial and industrial facilities, increasing local employment prosperity, and improving the economic climate within the Project Area, particularly in the Central Business District and within industrial areas and the various other isolated vacant and/or underdeveloped properties within the Project Area. The acquisition, assemblage, and/or disposition of sites of usable and marketable sizes and shapes for commercial, industrial, recrea- tional, and public facility development within the Project Area. The creation of a more cohesive and unified Beaumont community by strengthening the physical, social, and economic ties between residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and public land uses within and about the Project Area. k) The acquisition and disposition of property for the purpose of pro- viding relocation housing, as may be required, to implement the objectives of this plan. 1) To provide for very low-, low-, and moderate -income housing avail- ability as required by County, Region, or State law and require- ments, as necessary and desirable, consistent with the goals and objectives of the community. m) To encourage the coordination, cooperation, and assistance of other local agencies, as may be deemed necessary, to ensure that projects undertaken by this Agency are implemented to their fullest and practical extent. n) The achievement of a physical environment reflecting a high level of concern or architectural and urban design principals deemed im- portant by the Beaumont community. o) To encourage community involvement and citizen participation in the adoption of policies, programs, and projects so as to ensure that the Community Improvement Plan is implemented in accordance with the objectives and goals of the Beaumont General Plan. p) To provide a procedural and financial mechanism by which the Agency can assist, complement, and coordinate public and private develop- ment, improvement, revitalization, and enhancement of the Beaumont community. Section 10. In conjunction with the City Council's overall improvement intent and purpose, the City Council does declare the following general land utilization objectives: a) To encourage the development of well-planned and quality designed residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural developments which meet the adopted high standards of this community. b) To provide for sufficient land area within the Project Area for ap- propriate types of commercial and industrial development, properly located to provide services and goods to meet the commercial and industrial needs of the area, the community, and the region. c) To provide for required community facilities and open space includ- ing parks and recreational facilities. d) To provide an adequate traffic circulation and control system with- in the Project Area to provide for efficient and safe movement of people, goods, and services in conformance with the General Plan. e) To provide for the installation and improvement of streets, public utilities, sewer and water services necessary to the ultimate development of the Project Area. f) To provide for direction, purpose, and the climate for combined public and private investment which will result in benefits to the community as a whole. g) To provide for site location, ultimate development, and/or expansion of civic and public buildings, facilities, and services. h) To provide for the beautification and revitalization of the Project Area enabling the community to further establish an identity for the City of Beaumont and a quality of life which is desired by its citizens and businessmen. i j) To provide to smoothly plan and implement the transitional character of residential neighborhoods from single-family densitites to multi- family condominiums and apartment neighborhoods as a result of re- cycling of properties. To provide for assistance, enticements, and encouragement to ensure that the Project Area is developed to its fullest and ultimate usage, ensuring that the standards and requirements to the Municipal Code and the policies, goals, and objectives of the General Plan are met. Section 11. The Council and the Agency held a joint public hearing on November 10, 1982, on the adoption of the Community Improvement Plan and on the certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report on the Community Improvement Plan, in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 550 East 6th Street, Beaumont, California. Section 12. A notice of said hearing was duly and regularly published in the Record -Gazette, a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Beaumont, once a week for four successive weeks prior to the date of said hearing, and a copy of said notice and affidavit of publication are on file with the City Clerk and the Agency; copies of the notice of joint public hearing were mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested to the last known address of each assessee, as shown on the last equalized asses- sment roll of the County of Riverside, of each parcel of land in the proposed Project Area; each assessee in the Project Area was sent a separate statement, attached to the notice of joint public hearing, that his property may be subject to acquisition by purchase or condemantion under the provisions of the Community Improvement Plan; and copies of the notice of joint public hearing were mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested to the governing body of each taxing agency which receives taxes from property in the Project Area. Section 13. The Agency has prepared and submitted a program for the relocation of persons and businesses who may be displaced as a result of carrying out the Project in accordance with the Community Improvement Plan; and the Council has general knowledge of the conditions existing in the Project Area and of the availability of suitable housing in the City for the relocation of families and persons who may be displaced by the Project, and in the light of such knowledge of local housing conditions, has carefully considered and reviewed such program for relocation. Section 14. The Council has considered the report and recommendations of the Planning Commission, the report of the Agency, the Community Improve- ment Plan, and its economic feasibility, the feasibility of the relocation program and the Environmental Impact Report, has provided an opportunity for all persons to be heard and has received and considered all evidence and testimony presented for or against any and all aspects of the Community Improvement Plan. Section 15. The Agency and Council have reviewed and considered the Environmental Impact Report for the Community Improvement Plan, prepared and submitted pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21151 and Health and Safety Code Section 33352, and certified the completion of said Environmental Impact Report on November 10, 1982, by Agency Resolution No. BCI 82-16 and Council Resolution No. 1982-64. Section 16. The proposed Beaumont Community Improvement Plan and Pro- ject Area (as amended), after public hearing and as recommended by the Beau- mont Community Improvement Agency and the Beaumont Planning Commission, is hereby approved, adopted, and designated as the official Beaumont Redeveloment Plan and Project Area for the City of Beaumont. Section 17. The City Council acknowledges receipt of and files: a) Resolution No. 1982-65 adopted November 10, 1982 by the City Council of the City of Beaumont; b) Resolution No. 82-348 adopted November 9, 1982 by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside; c) Resolution No. 110 adopted November 8, 1982 by the Board of Direc- tors of the San Gorgonio Pass Water District; d) Resolution No. F82-56 adopted November 9, 1982 by the Board of Supervisors of the Flood Control and Water Conservation District; electing to be allocated certain revenues attributable to any increase in these Districts' tax rates which may occur after the tax year in which this Ordinance becomes effective pursuant to Section 33676 of the California Health and Safety Code and has provided for such allocation in accordance with Section 700.70 of the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan. Section 18. All other written and oral objections to the Beaumont Commu- nity Improvement Plan and Project Area are hereby overruled. Section 19. The Community Improvement Plan (as amended) shall herein- after be referred to as the "Beaumont Community Improvement Plan," and the Project Area (as amended) shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Beaumont Community Improvement Project Area" and shall incorporate Sub -Project Areas A through D, all to be incorporated herein as if set forth in full. Section 20. The Beaumont City Council hereby finds and determines that: a) It is necessary and/or desirable to adopt the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan and Project Area to encompass the property referred to in the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan and to authorize the development and/or construction of such facilities and/or improve- ments as are set forth in the same Beaumont Community Improvement Plan. b) The Beaumont Project Area (Sub -Project Areas A through D) is a blighted area, the improvement of which is necessary to effectuate the public purpose declared in the California Community Redevelop- ment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et. seq.). The finding is based upon the following conditions which characterize the Project Area: (1) The existence of unfit or unsafe buildings and structures due to age, obsolescence, faulty exterior spacing and mixed char- acter, and shifting of uses. c (2) The existence of properties which suffer from deterioration and disuse because of: inadequate public improvements, facili- ties, utilities, and open spaces, including inadequate and in- sufficient traffic circulation, parking, drainage, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, street lights, water distribution, sewers, and lots (parcels) of irregular form, shape, and size, which can- not be remedied with private or governmental action without improvement. The existence of properties which suffer from economic disloca- tion, deterioration, and disuse resulting from faulty planning. A lack of proper utilization of property, resulting in a stag- nant and unproductive condition of land potentially useful and valuable. A prevalence of economic maladjustment evidenced by a stagna- tion of retail sales. It is further found and determined that such conditions are causing, and will increasingly cause, a reduction and lack of proper utiliza- tion of the area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social, and economic burden on the City which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone, requiring improvement in the interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City and the State. This finding is based on the fact that govern- mental action available to the City without improvement would be insufficient to cause any significant correction of the blighting conditions, and that the nature and costs of the public improve ments and facilities required to correct the blighting conditions are beyond the capacity of the City and cannot be undertaken or borne by private enterprise acting alone or in concert with avail- able governmental action. The Beaumont Community Improvement Plan will provide for improve- ment of properties with the Beaumont Project Area boundaries in a manner conforming with the California Community Redevelopment Law and in the interests of the public peace, health, safety, and general welfare. This finding is based upon the fact that improve- ment of the Project Area will implement the objectives of the Com- munity Redevelopment Law by aiding in the elimination and correction of the conditions of blight, providing for planning, development, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or rehabilitation of properties which need improvement and providing for higher economic utilization of potentially useful land. d) The adoption and carrying out of the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan is economically sound and feasible since it is based upon the Beaumont Preliminary Community Improvement Plan which has been shown to be both economically sound and feasible as a financing mechanism for the Beaumont Community Improvement Agency. This finding is based on the fact that under the Community Improvement Plan no public improvement activity will be undertaken unless the Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity. e) The Beaumont Community Improvement Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City of Beaumont. This finding is based on the finding of the Planning Commission that the Community Improvement Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of Beaumont. 9) The carrying out of the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan will promote the public peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will effectuate the purposes and policy of the California Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is based on the fact that improvement will benefit the Project Area by correct- ing conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate development and improve the economic, social, and physical conditions of the Project Area. The condemnation of real property, as is provided for in certain limited circumstances in the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan, is necessary to the execution of the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan and adequate provision of just compensation for any property to be acquired is provided by law. This finding is based upon the need to ensure that the provisions of the Community Improvement Plan will be carried out and to prevent the recurrence of blight. h) The relocation of persons or businesses is not anticipated or at best would be minimal. However, the Community Improvement Agency has a feasible method or plan for the relocation of families and persons who might be temporarily or permanently displaced from the Project Area through the implementation of the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan. This finding is based upon the fact that the Community Improvement Plan provides for relocation assistance ac- cording to law. i There are or are being provided in the Project area or in other areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of thefamilies and persons displaced from the Project Area, decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of, and available to, such displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the fact that no person or family will be required to move from any dwelling unit until suitable replace- ment housing is available. j) Inclusion of any lands, buildings, or improvements which are not de- trimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare is neces- sary for the effective improvement of the Project Area of which they are a part; and that such areas included are necessary for ef- fective improvement in the community and are not included for the purpose of obtaining'the allocation of tax increment revenues from such areas pursuant to Section 33670 of the California Health and Safety Code without other substantial justification for the inclu- sion. This finding is based upon the fact that the boundaries of the Project Area, including each noncontiguous area, were chosen as a unified and consistent whole to include lands that were underuti- lized because of blighting influences, or affected by the existence of blighting influences, and land uses significantly contributing to the conditions of blight, whose inclusion is necessary to accom- plish the objectives and benefits of the Community Improvement Plan. k) The elimination of blight and the improvement of the Project Area could not be reasonably expected to be accomplished private enter- prise acting alone without the aid and assistance of the Community Improvement Agency. This finding is based upon the existence of blighting influences, including the lack of adequate public im- provements and facilities, and the inability of individual devel- opers to economically remove these blighting influences without substantial public assistance in providing adequate public improve- ments and facilities, the inability of low- and moderate -income persons to finance needed improvements, and the inadequacy of other governmental programs and financing mechanisms to eliminate the blight, including the provision of necessary public improve- ments and facilities. 1) The Community Improvement Plan for the Project Area will afford the maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the improvement of such area by private enterprise. m) The Community Improvement Plan contains adequate safeguards so that the work of improvement will be carried out pursuant to the Commu- nity Improvement Plan, and it provides for the retention of controls and the establishment of restrictions and covenants running with the land sold or leased for private use for periods of time and under conditions specified in the Community Improvement Plan, which this Council deems necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Law. Section 21. The City Council, although it does not contemplate the re- location of residents, is satisfied that within the Project Area boundaries or within the greater community, permanent housing facilities either exist or will be available within three years of the time occupants of the Project Area are displaced, and pending the development of such facilities, there will be adequate housing available to such displaced occupants at rents comparable to those in the community at the time of their displacement. No persons or families of low- or moderate -income shall be displaced from residences unless and until there is a suitable housing unit available and ready for occupancy by such displaced persons or families at rents comparable to those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe, sanitary, and otherwise standard dwellings. The Agency shall not displace any such persons or families until such housing units are available and ready for occupancy. Section 22. The City Council acknowledges that not less than 20 percent of the revenue derived from the allocation of taxes, pursuant to Section 33670 of the California Health and Safety Code, from the Project Area shall be used by the Community Improvement Agency for the purpose of increasing and improving the community's supply of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income, and very low-income households unless, through the imple- mentation of the Community Improvement Plan, one of the following findings are made: a) That no need exists in the community, the provision of which would benefit the Project Area to improve or increase the supply of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income or very low-income households; or b) That some stated percentage less than 20 percent of the taxes which are allocated to the Community Improvement Agency is sufficient to meet such housing need; or c) That a substantial effort to meet low- and moderate -income housing needs in the community is being made and that this effort, includ- ing the obligation of funds currently available for the benefit of the community from state, local, and federal sources for low- and moderate -income housing alone, or in combination with these revenue allocations, is equivalent in impact to the funds otherwise required to be set aside pursuant to this Section. The City Council shall consider the need of low or moderate income or very low-income households from within or adjacent to the Project Area because of increased employment opportunities or because of any other direct or indirect result of implementation of the Community Improvement Plan. Section 23. The City Council is convinced that the revenues derived from the allocation of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 of the California Health and Safety Code are in whole necessary for the effective implementa- tion of the Community Improvement Plan and that the effect of tax increment financing will not cause a severe financial burden or detriment on any taxing agency deriving tax increment revenues from the Project Area. Section 24. In order to implement and facilitate the effectuation of the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan which is hereby approved and adopted, it is found and determined that certain official action must be undertaken by the City of Beaumont with reference to, among other things, the following: a) Institution and completion of proceedings for opening, closing, vacating, widening or changing the grades of streets, alleys, and other public rights-of-way, and for other necessary modifications of the streets, the street layout, and other public rights-of-way in the Project Area. Such action by the City shall include the requirement of abandonment and relocation by the public utility companies of their operations in public rights-of-way as approp- riate to carry out this plan. b) Institution and completion of proceedings necessary for changes and improvements in publicly -owned utilities within or affecting the Project Area. c) Revision of zoning within the Project Area to permit the land uses and development authorized by this Plan provided that such action is consistent with the General Plan and the Community Improvement Plan. d) Imposition wherever necessary (by conditional use permits or other means) of appropriate controls, within the limits of this Plan, upon parcels in the Project Area to ensure their proper development and use. e) Provision for administrative enforcement of this plan by the City after development. The City and the Agency shall develop and provide for enforcement of a program for continued maintenance by owners of all real property, both public and private, within the Project Area throughout the duration of this plan. f) Performance of the above (and of all other functions and services relating to public health, safety, and physical development normally rendered in accordance with a schedule which will permit the devel- opment of the Project Area) shall be commenced and carried to com- pletion without unnecessary delays. 9) The undertaking and completing of any other proceedings necessary to carry out this project. Section 25. The City Council of the City of Beaumont agrees and does hereby: a) Pledge its cooperation in helping to carry out the Beaumont Commu- nity Improvement Plan and requests the various officials, depart- ments, boards, and agencies of the City of Beaumont having adminis- trative responsiblities in the premises, likewise to cooperate to such extent and to exercise their respective functions and powers in a manner which is consistent with the Beaumont Community Improve- ment Plan. b) Stand ready to consider the taking of appropriate action upon pro- posals and measures which are designed to effectuate the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan.

Section 30. The City Clerk is directed to transmit a copy of the de- scription and statement recorded by the City Clerk pursuant to Section 20 of this Ordinance, a copy of this Ordinance adopting the Beaumont Community Improvement Plan and a map or plate indicating the boundaries of the Project Area to the auditor and tax assessor of the County of Riverside, to the governing body of each of the taxing agencies which levies taxes upon any property in the Project Area, and to the State Board of Equalization, within thirty (30) days following the adoption of this Ordinance.
