Ordinance No. 2001 - 2187 Page Two NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of National City does hereby ordain as follows: Section 1. The 2001 Amendment to the National City Redevelopment Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit No. 1 and incorporated herein by this reference, is hereby adopted and approved. Section 2. Based upon the evidence contained in the Report to the City Council for the 2001 Amendment to the National City Redevelopment Plan, incorporated herein by reference, the City Council does hereby find, determine, and declare as follows: (a) The Project Area is a blighted area, the redevelopment of which is necessary to effectuate the public purposes as set forth in the Law. (b) The Redevelopment Plan would redevelop the Project Area in conformity with the Law and in the interests of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare. (c) The adoption and carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan is economically sound and feasible. (d) The Planning Commission and the City Council have determined that the 2001 Amendment is consistent with the City of National City's ("City") General Plan, including, but not limited to the Housing Element of the General Plan, 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. (e) The carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan would promote the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the community and would effectuate the purposes and policy of the Law. (f) The condemnation of real property is necessary to the execution of the Redevelopment Plan and adequate provisions have been made for payment for property to be acquired as provided by law. (g) The CDC has a feasible method for the relocation of families and persons displaced from the Project Area, to the extent that implementation of the Redevelopment Plan may result in the temporary or permanent displacement of any occupants of Project Area housing facilities. Ordinance No. 2001 - 2187 Page Three (h) There are, or shall be 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 the families and persons displaced from the Project Area, decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to the displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. (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 Law. Dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income shall not be removed or destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to Sections 33334.5, 33413, and 33413.5 of the Law. (j) Inclusion of any lands, buildings, or improvements which are not detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare is necessary for the effective redevelopment of the area of which they are a part; that any area included is necessary for effective redevelopment and is not included for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of tax increment revenues from the area pursuant to Section 33670 of the Law without other substantial justification for its inclusion. (k) 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 association of the CDC. (1) The project area is predominantly urbanized, as defined by subdivision (b) of Section 33320.1 of the Law. (m)The time limitation and, if applicable, the limitation on the number of dollars to be allocated to the agency that are contained in the plan are reasonably related to the proposed projects to be implemented in the project area and to the ability of the agency to eliminate blight within the project area. (n) Though the 2001 Amendment does not propose displacement of permanent housing facilities, the City Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities would be available within three years from the time occupants of the Project Area are displaced 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 City at the time of their displacement. Ordinance No. 2001 - 2187 Page Four Section 3. A full and fair public hearing having been held on the 2001 Amendment, and the City Council having considered all evidence and testimony for and against the adoption of the 2001 Amendment and all written and oral objections thereto, and the City Council being fully advised in the premises, all written and oral objections to the 2001 Amendment to the extent not otherwise addressed in the Redevelopment Plan or not otherwise responded to are hereby overruled, and the 2001 Amendment is hereby approved as an amendment to the official redevelopment plan of the Project Area.
