WHEREAS, all actions required by law have been taken by all appropriate public bodies;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TRUCKEE DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The purpose and intent of the Town Council with respect to the
Amendment are to establish a maximum dollar limit on the principal amount of bonds that can
be outstanding at any one time, in compliance with Health and Safety Code Section 33334.1.
Section 2. The Town Council does hereby find and determine as follows:
(a) The Project Area is a blighted area, the redevelopment of which is
necessary to effectuate the public purposes declared in the Community Redevelopment Law.
This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment is a technical change to the
Redevelopment Plan which does not modify or in any way change the existing Project Area
boundaries. This finding is further based on the information contained in the Agency's Report to
Council regarding the physical and economic conditions existing in the Project Area.
(b) The Amendment, which establishes a maximum dollar limit on the
principal amount of bonds that can be outstanding at any one time, will redevelop the Project
Area in conformity with the Community Redevelopment Law and in the interests of the public
peace, health, safety and welfare. This finding is based upon the fact that adoption of the
Amendment will establish a maximum limit on bond indebtedness as required by Section
33334.1 of the Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is further based upon the
information contained in the Agency's Report to Council.
2
(c) The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is economically sound
and feasible. This finding is based on the information contained in the Agency's Report to
Council, including without limitation the fact that the Amendment will have no impact on the
economic feasibility of the Redevelopment Plan as the bond limit as been set in a manner to
take into account future growth in the Project Area.
(d) The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan of the Town of
Truckee, including but not limited to the community's housing element, which substantially
complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of
division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code. This finding is based upon the findings and
recommendations of the Planning Commission contained in Planning Commission Resolution
No. 2010-09 determining that the Amendment was a legally required technical change with no
land use implications.
(e) The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the public peace,
health, safety and welfare of the community and would effectuate the purposes and policy of the
Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is based upon the fact that the Amendment is a
technical change to the Redevelopment Plan required under the Community Redevelopment
Law, and it will enable the Agency to continue its redevelopment activities under the
Redevelopment Plan in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Law.
(f) The Amendment is a technical change to the bonded debt limit contained
in the Redevelopment Plan and does not relate to eminent domain, therefore the finding
regarding condemnation of real property (set forth in Health and Safety Code Section
33367(d)(6)) is not applicable to the approval and adoption of the Amendment.
(g) The Agency has a feasible method or plan for the relocation of families
and persons who may be displaced from the Project Area. This finding is based upon (1) the
fact that the Amendment is a technical change to the Redevelopment Plan and does not amend
or affect the relocation provisions contained in the Redevelopment Plan; (2) the general plan for
relocation of persons and families set forth in the Agency's Report to Council; (3) the fact that
the Agency will comply with the relocation guidelines issued by the State of California,
Department of Housing and Community Development; (4) the fact that any displacement or
relocation of persons, families or businesses within the Project Area will be accomplished in full
compliance, with all applicable laws; and (5) the fact the Redevelopment Plan provides for
relocation assistance according to law.
(h) There are, or shall be provided, within the Project Area or within other
areas not generally less desirable with regard to public utilities and public and commercial
facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of the families and persons who might
be 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 (1) the fact that the Amendment is a
technical change to the Redevelopment Plan and does not amend or affect the provisions of the
Redevelopment Plan relating to displacement of personal and families from the Project Area; (1)
the fact that the Redevelopment Plan and the Community Redevelopment Law provide that no
person or family will be required to move from any dwelling unit in the Project Area until suitable
replacement housing is available; (3) the fact that the Agency will comply with the relocation
guidelines issued by the State of California, Department of Housing and Community
Development; and (4) the fact that any displacement or relocation of persons, families or
3
businesses within the Project Area will be accomplished in full compliance with all applicable
laws.
(i) Families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a
relocation plan pursuant to Sections 33411 and 33411.1 of the Community Redevelopment
Law; and dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income within the
Merged Project Areas shall not be removed or destroyed prior to the adoption of the
replacement housing plan pursuant to Sections 33334.5, 33413, and 33413.5. This finding is
based upon (1) the fact that the Amendment is a technical change to the Redevelopment Plan
and does not amend or affect the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan relating to
displacement of personal and families from the Project Area; (2) the fact that the Agency will
comply with the relocation guidelines issued by the State of California, Department of Housing
and Community Development; (3) the fact that any displacement or relocation of persons,
families or businesses within the Project Area will be accomplished in full compliance with all
applicable laws; and (4) the Redevelopment Plan provides for relocation assistance according
to law.
(j) The Amendment does not add territory to the Project Area, therefore the
finding regarding noncontiguous areas (set forth in Health and Safety Code Section
33367(d)(9)) is not applicable to the approval and adoption of the Amendments.
(k) The Amendment does not add territory to the Project Area, therefore the
finding regarding the inclusion of nonblighted lands, buildings and improvements in the
redevelopment project area (set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 33367(d)(10)) is not
applicable to the approval and adoption of the Amendment.
(I) The elimination of blight and the redevelopment of the Project Area could
not be reasonably expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without the
aid and assistance of the Agency. This finding is based upon the information contained in the
Agency's Report to Council, including without limitation the continued existence of blighting
influences, including the lack of adequate public improvements and facilities, and the inability of
individual developers to economically remove these blighting influences without public
assistance to acquire and assemble sites for development, and the provision of public
improvements, facilities and utilities, and the inadequacy of other governmental programs and
financing mechanisms to eliminate blight, including the provision of necessary public
improvements and facilities.
(m) The Amendment does not add territory to the Project Area, therefore the
finding that the redevelopment project area is a predominantly urbanized area (set forth in
Health and Safety Code Section 33367(d)(12)) is not applicable to the approval and adoption of
the Amendment.
(n) The Amendment does not modify or amend any of the time limits or the
limitation on the number of dollars to be allocated to the Agency that are currently contained in
the existing Redevelopment Plan, therefore the finding regarding limitations contained in the
Amended Plan (set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 33367(d)(13)) is not applicable to
the approval and adoption of the Amendment.
(o) The implementation of the Amendment will improve or alleviate the
physical and economic conditions of blight in the Project Area, as described in the Agency's
Report to Council prepared pursuant to Section 33352 of the Community Redevelopment Law.

Section 3. The Town Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities will be
available within three years from the time occupants of the Project Area are displaced, if any,
and that, pending the development of the facilities, there will be available to the displaced
occupants adequate temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the community
at the time of their displacement.
Section 4. In order to implement and facilitate the effectuation of the Amendment,
certain official actions must be taken by the Town Council. Accordingly, the Town Council
hereby: (a) pledges its cooperation in helping to carry out the Redevelopment Plan, as
amended by the Amendment; (b) directs the various officials, departments, boards, and
agencies of the Town of Truckee having administrative responsibilities in the existing Project
Area likewise to cooperate to such end and to exercise their respective functions and powers in
a manner consistent with said Redevelopment Plan, as amended; (c) stands ready to consider

Section 5. The Town Council is satisfied that no written objection of an affected
property owner or taxing entity was received either before or at the noticed joint public hearing.

INTRODUCTION
This Report to City Council deals with the proposed first amendment to the
Redevelopment Plan for the Truckee Redevelopment Project (Project Area or
Project). The Report has been prepared for the Truckee Redevelopment Agency
pursuant to Sections 33352 and 33457.1 and other applicable provisions in
Chapter 4 of Part 1 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL),
Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et seg.
Project Area History
The Project Area was adopted on October 15, 1998 by the Town of Truckee City
Council by Ordinance No. 98-06. There have been no amendments to the
Redevelopment Plan. The Project Area includes approximately 1,000 acres of
land, including the downtown area, pockets of residential uses, and other
commercial and mixed use development. A map of the Project Area is shown on
the following page. Some of the major uses are described below:
• The Union Pacific Railroad properties to the east of the downtown area
including the balloon track area. This area was the former site of a lumber
mill and storage area for lumber products as well as a storage area for
railroad equipment. This site is essentially vacant now with some storage
of materials at the site.
• The older residential properties in the center of the Town north of Donner
Pass Road. This includes all of the properties starting from the extension
of Jibboom Street and Church Street on the east to the intersection of
High Street and the Interstate 80 underpass on the west.
• The residential and industrial properties on East and West River Street
north of the Truckee River and the properties on South River Street and
East South River Street.
• The residential area adjacent to the Hilltop ski area, specifically the
properties near Palisades Drive and Hill Top Lodge.
• The commercial properties in the center of the Town on Donner Pass
Road from Trout Creek Road on the east to the intersection of Donner
Pass Road and the Interstate 80 underpass on the west.
• The commercial and mixed use areas fronting Donner Pass Road from the
Interstate 80 intersection on the west to Cold Stream Road on the east.
At the time of adoption of the Project Area, a number of conditions of blight were
found in the Project Area. These included: dilapidation and deterioration of
buildings; inadequate parcel size; lack of parking; incompatible uses;
substandard lots; high business vacancies; and inadequate public improvements.
As a means to address these problems, the Project Area was formed.

Truckee Redevelopment Project
Preliminary Report
82631.00002\5772692.2
FA FRASER &ASSOCIATES
Purpose of Amendment
The sole purpose for the proposed amendment is to establish a maximum dollar
limit on the principal amount of bonds that can be outstanding at one time. The
reason for the proposed amendment is further described in Part I of this Report.
Purpose of Report to City Council
The purpose of this Report is to provide the information, documentation, and
evidence required by Section 33352 of the Community Redevelopment Law to
accompany the proposed Amendment when it is submitted by the Agency to the
City Council. Such information, documentation and evidence is provided to
assist the City Council in its consideration of the proposed Amendment and in
making the various determinations it must make in connection with its adoption.
CRL Section 33457.1 provides that"To the extent warranted by a proposed
amendment to a redevelopment plan... the reports and information required by
Section 33352 shall be prepared and made available." Because of the narrow
scope of the Amendment, some of the reports and analysis required by Section
33352 have not been included in this Report. The reports and analysis required
by Section 33352(d), (g), (i), (I), (m) and (n) were deemed irrelevant to the
Amendment and have been excluded from this Report. The topics that these
sections address, and the reasons they have been excluded, are discussed
below:
1. Section d: This section deals with the reasons blight cannot be eliminated by
the private sector acting alone or by the City's use of financing alternatives
other than tax increment. This finding was conclusively made at the time the
Redevelopment Plan was adopted, and the proposed Amendment does not
make any changes to the Plan that would call this finding into question.
2. Section g: This section deals with an analysis of the Preliminary Plan. Among
other things, a Preliminary Plan establishes the boundaries of a
redevelopment project area. The Amendment does not propose any changes
to the Redevelopment Plan that would cause the Redevelopment Plan to
depart from its Preliminary Plan basis. Therefore, an analysis of the
Preliminary Plan is not required.
3. Section i: This section requires that a summary of the meetings of a project
area committee be included in this Report to City Council. A project area
committee was not required to be formed as part of the Amendment.
4. Section m: This section requires that a neighborhood impact report be
prepared when adopting a new project area or adding territory. This report
was prepared as part of the Report to City Council that was considered when
the Project Area was adopted, and the Amendment does not affect the
information in that report.

5. Section I and n: The CRL requires that when a new project area is adopted or
an existing plan is amended to add territory, and tax increment is to used, that
the county prepare a specific report. The report contains information on the
allocation of property taxes in the project area. The Agency is also required to
provide an analysis of the county report. The proposed plan amendment is
not adding territory and therefore these sections are not required.

PART I — REASONS FOR AMENDING THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
As stated in the introduction to this Report, the sole purpose for amending the
Redevelopment Plan is to establish a maximum dollar limit on the principal
amount of bonds that can be outstanding at one time. The Redevelopment Plan
currently authorizes the Agency to issue bonds, but places no limit on the
principal amount of bonded indebtedness to be repaid with tax increment that
can be outstanding at one time. Section 33334.1 of the CRL requires that a
Redevelopment Plan include such a limitation. The adopted Redevelopment
Plan inadvertently omitted such a limit, and so the Agency is proposing to add a
bond limit of$75 million to the Plan.

PART II- EFFECT OF AMENDMENT ON PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS EXISITING IN THE PROJECT AREA
Blighting Conditions at the Time of Project Adoption
When the Redevelopment Plan was adopted in 1998, the Project Area was found
to be conclusively blighted as defined by Health and Safety Code Sections 33031
and 33032. According to the Report to the City Council prepared in 1998 as part
of the process for adopting the Plan, numerous conditions of physical and
economic blighting conditions were found to exist in the Project Area. The extent
-of these blighting conditions represented a physical and economic burden on the
City which could not be reversed or alleviated by the City and/or the private
sector acting alone or in concert.
Except for the projects which the Agency has completed to date (that are
described in the following section), the blighting conditions found in 1998
continue to exist. These conditions are briefly summarized below and are based
on the Report to City Council prepared by the Agency at the time the Project
Area was adopted.
Physical Conditions of Blight
Buildings that are Unsafe or Unhealthy in which to Live and Work: These
conditions can be caused by serious building code violations, dilapidation and
deterioration, defective design or physical construction, or faulty or inadequate
utilities.
The field survey conducted at the time of adoption showed that numerous
buildings did not meet building code requirements. In addition, dilapidation and
deterioration were apparent in buildings interspersed in the Project Area with the
"blighting" effect extending to properties throughout the Project Area.
The results of the field survey demonstrated that buildings in the Project Area
required some degree of maintenance or improvement. This was especially the
case with both commercial and residential structures in the Downtown area and
the properties adjacent to the Truckee River along East River Street, West River
Street and along Donner Pass Road, where numerous buildings were considered
in need of substantial rehabilitation or repair. These conditions also were found
in the Hilltop area.
Generally, blighting conditions included the following:
• Broken and boarded windows
• Unreinforced masonry walls
Truckee Redevelopment Project Page 6
Report to City Council
FA FRASER & ASSOCIATES
• Broken concrete driveways or deteriorated gravel driveways
• Broken or cracked sidewalks
• Absence of surface drainage facilities
• Rotting or sagging roofs
• Additions or garage conversions not meeting building code requirements
• Junk or abandoned vehicles stored on property
• Buildings appearing to be abandoned
• Buildings and fences needing repainting
• Large vacant areas previously in industrial use
• General blighting adjacent to the railroad right-of-way
Factors which Hinder Economic Viability: This condition can be caused by
substandard site design, inadequate parcel size given present standards and
market conditions, lack of parking, or similar factors.
In the commercially zoned area facing Donner Pass Road, most parcels were
found to be either too narrow or too shallow to meet current market requirements
for new development. Some of the parcels were as small as 6,500 square feet
with frontage of approximately 50 feet. These same conditions existed along
Jibboom Street in the Downtown Area. While many of the buildings are
historically significant and are being protected, other buildings are not and can be
improved with redevelopment assistance. This condition severely hindered or
eliminated the ability of the properties to meet current lender requirements for
new commercial development.
The insufficiency of parking was observable in the shallow depth, which does not
allow parking on site. Particularly along Donner Pass Road, the shallow setback
and limited lot depth created significant parking deficiencies. There was also an
inadequate pedestrian circulation system in the commercial portions of the
Project Area, which further hindered business activity.
Incompatible Land Uses: This condition involves adjacent or nearby uses that
are incompatible with each other and prevent the economic development of
those parcels or other portions of the area.
While Town policy encourages mixed land use patterns, specific incompatible
uses were noted in the Project Area. Existing site design patterns did not
accommodate the mix of uses. These uses included commercial uses in
residential areas, single family homes in commercial areas, and storage of
vehicles and equipment in residential areas. Scattered throughout the Project '
Area were inadequate storage facilities for heavy construction equipment, trucks
and other construction equipment.
Truckee Redevelopment Project Page 7
Report to City Council
FA FRASER &ASSOCIATES
Lots of Irregular Shape and Inadequate Size: This condition reflects the
existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for
proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership.
Parcels of irregular shape and inadequate size existed throughout the Project
Area at the time of adoption. There were 382 parcels totaling 159 acres that
were irregular in shape and in multiple ownership. These irregular parcels
existed in the area north of PC-1 along Deerfield Drive, on the north side of
Donner Pass Road adjacent to Northwoods Boulevard, west of the Gateway
Shopping Center, the Downtown Area, the properties along East River Street and
West River Street, and in the Millsite Area.
Economic Conditions of Blight: The primary indicators of economic blight
included depreciated or stagnant property values, impaired investments,
abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, high turnover
rates, and abandoned buildings or excessive vacant lots within an area
developed for urban use. In addition, the level of private redevelopment activity
in the Project Area had slowed as the number of viable opportunities available to
private developers was further limited. This was largely attributable to the
problems associated with the assembly of sites that are economically efficient
based on current market standards. Principal impediments to site assemblage
included multiple ownerships of numerous irregular parcels.
Redevelopment Activities from Project Adoption to Present
Up until the past few years, the tax increment revenues of the Project Area were
limited and placed a financial constraint on the Agency's ability to implement its
program of redevelopment. Due to this, there have only been limited project
activities. The projects completed included:
• Railyard Master Plan: The Agency helped facilitate the sale of the
railyard site, east of the Historic Downtown, to a private developer, and
the Agency participated in the preparation of the site's approved master
plan.
• Former Nevada County Corporation Yard Site: The Agency acquired the
West River Street site from Nevada County in May 2004. The Agency has
facilitated site redevelopment efforts through environmental clean-up and
technical studies, and is now in the process of conducting a
redevelopment feasibility study for determining a future land use for the
site.
• Downtown Parking Structure Feasibility Study: The Agency facilitated
preparation of a report which provides a recommended site and design for
a parking structure in Historic Downtown Truckee.
• Brickelltown Streetscape Improvement Proiect: The Agency participated
in the initial planning and design of a major capital improvement project in
the Historic Downtown. This project involved designing a quarter-mile
Truckee Redevelopment Project Page 8
Report to City Council
FA FRASER & ASSOCIATES
stretch of public right-of-way, and is now temporarily on hold while the
acquisition of railroad right-of-way is being negotiated between the railroad
company and the Agency.
• Historic Preservation Program: This program includes two grant programs
and a loan program to encourage private property owners to invest in
historic residential and commercial properties in the Historic Downtown
area.
• Downtown Streetscape Improvement Program: This program provides
loans to encourage private property owners to invest in the streetscape
frontages of their properties along the public right-of-way, for the
improvement of individual properties and the Historic Downtown area as a
whole.
• Historic Downtown Newsrack Project: The Agency purchased twelve
high-quality newsracks for Historic Downtown Truckee in order to improve
the overall appearance and function of the Historic Downtown area.
• Brickelltown Temporary Sidewalk Project: The Agency helped to plan,
design and facilitate the construction of a continuous sidewalk connection
in the western portion of the Historic Downtown area.
• Downtown Parking Area Improvements: The Agency acquired new
railroad right-of-way leases in the Historic Downtown area in order to
improve public parking facilities for economic development purposes.
• Affordable Housing Projects: The Agency financially participated in the
affordable housing component of two multi-family housing developments
near the Historic Downtown area.
In 2009, the Agency sold its first bond issue in the amount of$12.7 million. The
proceeds of the bond issue will be used to fund a number of projects and
improvements in the coming years.
Remaining Blight Conditions and Effect of the Amendment on Such
Conditions
With the exception of the projects mentioned above, the blighting conditions
found in 1998 continue to persist. Such conditions are so prevalent and
substantial that they continue to constitute a serious physical and economic
burden on the community.
The Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan would have no impact on the
Agency's ability to alleviate blighting conditions in the Project Area. It will simply
bring the Redevelopment Plan into conformance with the requirements of state
law. The bond limit has been established to take into account potential future
growth in tax increment revenues and the potential to issue new bonds, and
should not impede the Agency's ability to implement the Redevelopment Plan.

PART III— IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Agency recently completed its Five Year Implementation Plan for the period
through 2013-14. It provides the most recent statement of the projects and ,
programs the Agency intends to undertake. It is incorporated by reference into
this document. The Amendment does not affect the adopted Implementation
Plan or require any changes to the Plan.

PART IV-- EFFECT OF AMENDMENT ON METHOD OF FINANCING AND
CONTINUED FEASIBILITY OF PROJECT
This section of the Report deals with the impact of the proposed Amendment on
the method of financing the Project Area. Two major areas are analyzed: the
methodology used to establish the maximum principal amount of bonds that can
be outstanding at one time; and the impact of the Amendment on economic
feasibility.
Tax Increment Revenues, Bonds and Limitations
Table 1 in the Appendix provides an estimate of the tax increment revenues that
could be generated for the Project Area between now and 2020-21. The tax
increment revenue projections are based on the following assumptions:
• The Proposition 13 allowable inflationary adjustment of up to 2 percent
annually;
• An additional 2 percent adjustment to taxable values to reflect changes of
ownership; and
• New development activity shown below that is assumed to occur based on
Agency activities, as contained in the Downtown Specific Plan:
Square Footage Units
Single Family Residential 148
Multi Family Residential 516
Commercial 206,000
Office 44,000
Lodging 552
Table 1 shows that total tax increment could equal $9.3 million in 2020-21.
Housing set-aside funds are estimated at $1.9 million. After reductions for
property tax administrative fees, the housing set-aside, and mandatory tax
sharing payments, net tax increment is estimated at $4.0 million.
The projected net tax increment and housing tax increment in 2020-21 have
been used to set the limit on the principal amount of bonds that can be
outstanding at one time. The current Agency time limit on the incurring of new
debt is October 15, 2018 (2018-19 fiscal year). It is assumed that the Agency
would issue a final bond issue during that fiscal year. It is further assumed that
the Agency would issue bonds that would include an escrow component that
would be sized in accordance with the amount of net tax increment and housing
set-aside revenues in 2020-21. Under an escrow structure, a portion of the
Truckee Redevelopment Project Page 11
Report to City Council
FA FRASER &ASSOCIATES
bonds are held in a fund and cannot be released until tax increment has grown
sufficiently to provide coverage.
Table 2 in the Appendix shows our calculation of the bond limit. Using an
assumption of a 5.5 percent interest rate and a 30 year term, it is estimated that
the Agency could issue $40 million of tax increment bonds and $22 million of
housing bonds. When combined with the currently outstanding bonds from 2010
of$12.7 million, the total bond amount, when rounded, would total $75 million.
This is the principal amount of bonds that can be outstanding that will be included
in the Redevelopment Plan.
,Impact of Amendment on Economic Feasibility
The Amendment will have no impact on the economic feasibility of the Project
Area. The bond limit has been set in a manner to take into account future growth
in the Project Area. The bond limit should therefore have no impact on the ability
of the Agency to finance projects and programs in the Project Area and continue
to eliminate blight.

PART V-- EFFECT OF AMENDMENT ON METHOD OR PLAN FOR
RELOCATION OF FAMILIES AND PERSONS
Section 33352(f) of the Community Redevelopment Law requires this Report to .
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 33411.1". This Part V
has been prepared in compliance with Sections 33352, 33411 and 33411.1 of the
Community Redevelopment Law.
Section 33411 of the CRL requires an agency to prepare a feasible "method or
plan" for relocation of families or persons to be temporarily or permanently
displaced from housing facilities in a project area, and for nonprofit local
community institutions to be temporarily or permanently displaced from facilities
actually used for institutional purposes in a project area. Section 33411.1
requires a city council to insure that "...such method or plan of the agency ... shall
provide that no persons or families of low and moderate income shall be
displaced unless and until there is a suitable housing unit available and ready for
occupancy by such displaced person or family 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 dwelling. The agency shall not displace such person or
family until such housing units are available and ready for occupancy."
This Part V 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.(California Code of Regulations, Division 1 of Title 25,
commonly called the "State Guidelines"). As described below, a Section 6038
Relocation Plan is not prepared until an agency initiates negotiations for the
acquisition of real property and prior to proceeding with any phase of a public
improvement or facility project or other implementation activity that would result
in any displacement other than an insignificant amount of non-residential
displacement.
AGENCY RELOCATION IN THE EVENT OF AGENCY DISPLACEMENT
The Agency anticipates that its pending projects that are described in the
Implementation Plan will continue to provide an incentive for the private sector to
develop or redevelop vacant, underutilized and blighted properties. As a part of
these projects, the Agency may selectively acquire and dispose of property. To
the extent that the Agency acquires occupied property for land assembly or other
purposes, or enters into agreements with developers or others under which
occupants will be required to move, the Agency will 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
Truckee Redevelopment Project Page 13
Report to City Council
FA FRASER & ASSOCIATES
not directly assisted by the Agency under a disposition and development, owner
participation, or other such agreement.
As noted within this Report, displacement of persons, families, businesses or
tenants is a possibility,under the Agency's continued projects and activities in the
Project Area. At this time, it is not known how many persons, households or
businesses may be relocated over time. Should any displacement occur, the
Agency would be required to provide persons, families, business owners and
tenants displaced by Agency activities with monetary and advisory relocation
assistance consistent with the California Relocation Assistance Law
(Government Code, Section 7260 et seq.) and the Redevelopment Plan.
The Agency would pay all relocation payments required by law. The following
portions of this Part V of the Agency's Report to City Council outline the general
relocation rules and procedures which the Agency would follow. The Agency's
functions in providing relocation assistance and benefits are also summarized.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Agency has adopted rules and regulations that: (1) implement the
requirements of California Relocation Assistance Law (Government Code,
Chapter 16 of Division 7 of Title 1, commencing with Section 7260) (the "Act");
(2) are in accordance with the provisions of the State Guidelines; (3) meet the
requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law and the
provisions of the Redevelopment Plan; and (4) are appropriate to the particular
activities of the Agency and not inconsistent with the Act or the State Guidelines.
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE ADVISORY PROGRAM AND ASSURANCE OF
COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT HOUSING
When required by any project involving the Agency, the Agency will implement
a relocation assistance advisory program which satisfies the requirements of
the State Law and Article 2 of the State Guidelines and the Civil Rights Act.
Such program would be administered so as to provide advisory services which
offer maximum assistance to minimize the hardship of displacement and to
ensure that (a) all persons and families displaced from their dwellings are
relocated into housing meeting the criteria for comparable replacement housing
contained in the State Guidelines, and (b) all persons displaced from their
places of business are assisted in reestablishing with a minimum of delay and

Redevelopment Plan (Plan) to establish a maximum dollar limit on the principal amount of bonds that
can be outstanding at one time. The Plan currently authorizes the Agency to issue bonds, but places no
limit on the principal amount of bonded indebtedness to be repaid with tax increment that can be
outstanding at one time. Section 33334.1 of the California Redevelopment Law requires that a
Redevelopment Plan include such a limitation. The Plan was inadvertently adopted without such a
limit, so the Agency is proposing to add a bond limit of$75 million to the Plan.
The amendment to the Redevelopment Plan would have no impact on the Agency's ability to alleviate
blighting conditions in the Project Area. It will simply bring the Redevelopment Plan into conformance
with the requirements of state law. The bond limit has been established to take into account potential
future growth in tax increment revenues and the potential to issue new bonds and should not impede
the Agency's ability to implement the Redevelopment Plan.

within the Project Area would require formal environmental review prior to consideration by the
Town.
The proposed amendment would allow for the issuance of additional bonds by the
Redevelopment Agency to fund projects already planned and approved as part of the
Redevelopment Plan within the Project Area. This would help increase and preserve the Town's
rental housing stock. The proposed amendment itself will not result in actual development and
therefore, would not result in the displacement of any housing or persons within the Project Area.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Significant Mitigation Significant No
Impact Incorporated Impact Impact
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, X
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or -
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b. Does the project have impacts that are
individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the X
incremental effects of a project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects,of past projects,
the effects of other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
c. Does the project have environmental effects,
which will cause substantial adverse effects on human X
beings, either directly or indirectly?
The determinations of the mandatory findings of significance are supported by the discussion
contained within the Initial Study. There is no substantial evidence that the project, upon
incorporation of the mitigation measures, may have a significant effect on the environment.
DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation, the Community Development Director finds:
X 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 revisions in the project have been
made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
The proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as
described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,
but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
Initial Study/Proposed ND for Redevelopment Plan
Page 14
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier
EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been
avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,
nothing further is required.

specifically find and a e ermine that:
* * * *
.e Sectio 3 , or II din.• • I •Ise ere (E I I'
(a) It is ecessary and desirable to amend the Redevelopment Plan in the
manner set forth in the Ame dment. Thi• •'s .• -• . • •- . • . - - A :• • a • dded
Area is a blighted area,the re evelopment of which is necessary to effectuate the public purposes
declared in the California Co unity Redevelopment Law alth and Safety Code
Section 33000 et seq.). This fm ing is based upon the follo 'ng facts, as more particularly set
forth in the Report to Council:
(1) The A dditional Added Are is predominantly urbanized.
(2) The Ada itional Added A ea is characterized by and suffers from a
combination of blighting physical and :conomic cond'tions, including, among others:
substandard or obsolete design, inadequ.te signage, ' adequate circulation and accessibility,
inadequate public improvements and abn. ally to lease rates.
(3) The combinat •n o the conditions referred to in paragraph(2)
above is so prevalent and so substantial that i ca ses a reduction of, or lack of,proper utilization
of the Additional Added Area to such an exten'that it constitutes a serious physical and
economic burden on the City that cannot real a n;b1y be expected to be reversed or alleviated by
private enterprise or governmental action, o bot 6 without redevelopment.
(b) The Amendment 11 enable the Additional Added Area to be redeveloped
in conformity with the Community Re. -velopment aw and in the interests of the public peace,
health, safety and welfare. This find'r g is based upo the fact that the Amendment will
implement the objectives of the Red-velopment Plan, a s amended by this Amendment, and the
Community Redevelopment Law . aiding in the elim ation and correction of the conditions of
blight and deterioration in the Ada itional Added Area; al oviding for planning, development,
redesign, clearance,reconstructi o n, or rehabilitation of p(operties that need improvement,
improving, increasing, and pre -rving the supply of low- a d moderate-income housing within
the community;providing add' ional employment oppo l'ties, and providing for high
economic utilization of poten ally useful land.
(c) The a•option and carrying out of the A endment is economically sound
and feasible. This finding is based upon the facts, as more p. 'cularly set forth in the Report to
Council that, under the Rede elopment Plan, as amended by this Amendment,the Agency will
be authorized to seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including tax
increments;the nature and timing of public redevelopment assistance will depend on the amount
and availability of such financing resources, including tax increments generated by new
MAS/OrdinApvgAmend 4 2009
640074v3 00009/0002
investment in the Additional Added Area; and no public redevelopment activity will be
undertaken unless the Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the
activity.
(d) The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan of the City of
, i .eluding but not limited to,the City's/housing element,which
substantially complies with . e requirements of Article 10.6 (c mmencing with Section 65580)
of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of I itle 7 of the Government Cod . This finding is based on the
finding of Planning Commissio• that the Amendment is co istent with the General Plan of the
City of_ .
(e) The carrying out of the Amendme t will promote the public peace,health,
safety and welfare of the City of . d will effectuate the purposes and
policies of the Community Redevelopm-nt Law. This finding is based upon the fact that
redevelopment, as contemplated by the A , endment, ill benefit the Additional Added Area by
aiding in the elimination and correction of t,e condi ions of blight in the Additional Added Area
and by providing needed public improvemen and coordinating public and private actions to
stimulate and encourage further redevelopmen' V a investment in the Additional Added Area
and improve the economic, social and physical conditions of the Additional Added Area.
(f) The condemnation of re:1 pr• .erty in the Additional Added Area, as
provided for in the Amendment, is necessary o the e;ecution of the Redevelopment Plan, as
amended by the Amendment, and adequate .rovisions a ave been made for the payment for
property to be acquired as provided by la . This fmdin is based upon the need to ensure that
the provisions of the Redevelopment Pl , as amended b the Amendment, will be carried out
and to prevent the recurrence of blight.
(g) The Agency s feasible method and p'4. for the relocation of all persons,
including families and persons wile may be displaced,tempor. 1y or permanently, from housing
facilities due to the Agency's red h elopment activities. This fine ing is based upon the fact that
the Agency has an existing pl. for relocation of all displaced pe on, as described in the Report
to Council, and the existing ' -development Plan provides for relo,ation assistance and benefits
according to law.
(h) Th-re are, or shall be provided,within the Addi ional Added Area,
Existing Project Area o within other areas not generally less desirable ith regard to public
utilities and public an commercial facilities and at rents or prices withi the financial means of
the families and pers ns who may be displaced from the Additional Add: Area, decent, safe,
and sanitary dwell' gs equal in number to the number of and available to uch displaced families
and persons and r asonably accessible to their places of employment. This ding is based upon
the fact that in e event any residential displacement is caused following th ,Amendment,no
person or fain' y will be required to move from any dwelling unit in the Additional Added Area
until suitablreplacement housing is available.
(i) Families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a
relocation plan pursuant to Sections 33411 and 33411.1 of the Community Redevelopment Law.
This finding is based on the fact that there are currently no families or persons occupying
MAS/OrdinApvgAmend 5 2009
640074v3 00009/0002
housing facilities within the proposed Additional Added Area and in the event of any non-
residential displacement,the Agency has an existing plan for relocation of all displaced persons,
as described in the Report to Council.
(j) All noncontiguous areas of the Redevelopment Project Area, as
amended by the Amendment, are either blighted or necessary for effective redevelopment of the
Commons Redevelopment Project Area, as amended by the Amendment, and are not included
for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of tax increme t revenues from such area pursuant to
Section 33670 of the Community Redevelopment Law ithout other substantial justification for
their inclusion. This finding is based upon the fact tha the boundaries of the noncontiguous
Additional Added Area were chosen to include lands at were underutilized because of
blighting influences, or affected by the existence of slighting influences, which inclusion is
necessary to accomplish - objectives and benefi : of the Redevelopment Plan, as amended by
the Amendment.
(k) Inclusion o . y lands, . 'Wings, or improvements in the Additional
Added Area that are not detrimental 9 the p .lie health, safety, or welfare is necessary for the
effective redevelopment of the entire ar:. o v"which they are a part; and any area included in
necessary for effective redevelopment an. . e not included for the purpose of obtaining the
allocation of tax increment revenues fro s su. area pursuant to Section 33760 of the
Community Redevelopment Law witho)t othe ubstantial justification for its inclusion. This
finding is based upon the fact that the Doundaries .f the Additional Added Area where chosen as
a unified and consistent whole to inc de all prope 'es contributing to or affected by the
blighting conditions characterizing e Additional A• •ed Area.
(1) The dim' .tion of blight and the re a evelopment of the Additional Added
Area could not reasonably be e sected to be accomplished 's\ private enterprise acting alone
without the aid and assistance .f the Agency. This finding is i.sed upon the facts, as more
particularly set forth in the R- .ort to Council,that because of th- 'gher costs and more
significant risks associated ith development of blighted areas, in.'vidual developers are unable
and unwilling to invest in b ighted areas without substantial public a istance and that funds of
other public sources and p ograms are insufficient to eliminate the blig,ting conditions.
(m) e Additional Added Area is a predominately urb. :zed area, as defined
by subdivision(b) of ection 33320.1. This finding is based upon the facts, a more particularly
set forth in the Repo v to Council,that all of the land in the Additional Added Area has been or is
developed for urb. uses.
(n The time limitations in the Amendment are reasonably related to the
proposed project to be implemented in the Additional Added Area and the ability of the Agency
to eliminate bli t within the Additional Added Area. This fmding is based upon the blight and
financial analy' s contained in the Report to Council.
(o) The implementation of the Amendment will improve or alleviate the
physical and economic conditions of blight in the Additional Added Area, as described in the
Report to Council. This finding is based on the facts and analyses set forth in the Report to
MAS/OrdinApvgAmend 62009
640074v3 00009/0002
Council, including the Added Area am and f cial feasibility of the Amendment as
described in the Report to Co 11.
* * * *
Section 3. The City Council is satis d that permanent housing f.. ` les will be
available within three (3)years from the ti occupants of the Added A -. are displaced, and
that,pending the development of suc acilities,there will be avai . e e to any such displaced
occupants temporary housing fac' ' ies at rents comparable t• ose in the community at the time
of their displacement. -- f' `

Because of the formal nature of the required process a detailed "script" has been provided for the
hearing in order to insure full compliance with California redevelopment law. It is in your packet.
The process outline tracks the call to order, opening of the meeting, roll call, order of procedure,
documents to be entered in the record, and background. If there are no written objections, nor
anyone wishing to testify orally, several of the steps can be skipped after that fact is noted for the
record by the Mayor. If written objections are received,the joint meeting will need to be continued to
March 17, 2011 to allow for preparation of a response for the record.
If no objections have been received the Agency would first adopt its resolution approving the
negative declaration and plan amendment. Then the Council would then introduce,for first reading,
an ordinance approving and adopting the plan amendment. This plan amendment process will then
be complete.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff time and minor consultant contracts (less than $5,000) for document
review.
