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

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.

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.

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

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-
