The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana conclusively finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Pursuant to Health & Safety Code § 33606, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana ("Agency") must adopt an annual budget. B. The draft budget for fiscal year 2011-2012 presented to the Agency is designed to further implement the Agency's mandate to reduce or eliminate the physical and economic conditions that cause blight within the City of Santa Ana. The Projects are consistent with the 5-Year Implementation Plan, the Redevelopment Plans (as amended) and the reduction and/or elimination of blight. C. The Legislature has concluded that the term "redevelopment" includes provision for open-space types of use, such as streets and other public grounds and space, and the replanning or redesign of stagnant or improperly utilized areas which exist because of defective or inadequate street layout. D. The Agency hereby finds and determines that the planning and administrative expenses to be paid from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for each redevelopment project are necessary for the production, improvement, or preservation of low- and moderate-income housing pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 33334.3(d) and are not disproportionate to the amounts budgeted for the costs of production, improvement or preservation of that housing. Such costs are necessary and proportionate to the amount proposed for actual housing assistance activities for the year. E. The Agency hereby finds that the planning and administrative expenses budgeted last fiscal year from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund were necessary and appropriate for the production, improvement, or preservation of low- and moderate-income housing pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 33334.3(d) and were not disproportionate to the amounts actually spent last year for the costs of production, improvement or preservation of that housing. F. The Agency has retained certain interests in real property acquired using moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, and has not initiated activities consistent with the development of the property for the development of housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income within the statutory five CRA Resolution No. 2011-008 Page 1 of 4 (5) year period. The addresses of these properties are as follows: 511 E. Fifth Street, 602-604 E. Sixth Street, 511-517 N. Minter Street, and 720 E. Sixth Street. The Agency intends that these properties shall be used for the development of housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income, and hereby requests a five (5) year extension in furtherance of said purpose pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 33334.16. G. The Agency has retained certain interests in real property acquired using moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, and is currently in the process of the development of the property for housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income during or exceeding the ten (10) year statutory period. The Agency intends that these properties ("Station District Properties") shall be used for the development of housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income, pursuant to the Disposition and Development Agreement authorized on June 7, 2010, pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 33334.16. Other Agency owned interests in real property acquired using moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, which are currently in the process of the development of the property for housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income during or exceeding the ten (10) year statutory period are located at 802, 806, 812 N. Concord Street, 1244 E. Martha Lane, and 1308-1314 N. Eastwood Avenue. Habitat for Humanity of Orange County has been selected as the developer of these properties for the construction of housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income, pursuant to the Disposition and Development Agreement authorized on March 21, 2011, pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 33334.16. H. The Agency adopts by reference and incorporates as though fully set forth herein each and every finding contained in the supporting documentation which accompanies the draft budget for fiscal year 2011-2012 and the staff report from the Executive Director to the Agency Board, together with any exhibits attached to said documents. The Agency's budget is a component of, and can be found in the City's budget, for fiscal year 2011-2012. I. The draft budget for fiscal year 2011-2012, together with the supporting documentation presented to the Agency, complies in all respects with the requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law, including but not limited to Health & Safety Code § 33606. J. For those expenditures proposed which are outside the Merged Redevelopment Project Area in the draft budget for fiscal year 2011-2012, the Agency finds and declares that such expenditures will be of benefit to the Merged Redevelopment Project Area. These projects include the Downtown Wayfinding Program, the Downtown Fagade Program, improvements to the Downtown Parking Garage(s) and Surface Lot(s), the South Main Building Renovation Program, the Station District Cultural and Historical Identification Program, the Lacy Neighborhood Housing Program and community center, as well as proposed open space, community center CRA Resolution No. 2011-008 Page 2 of 4 6/14/11 LES and/or educational facility with parking area. This finding is made pursuant to Health & Safety Code § 33334.2(g)(1). K. The Agency finds and declares, pursuant to Health & Safety Code § 33420.2, that because of the magnitude and severity of the graffiti within its Merged Redevelopment Project Area, any actions that the agency determines are necessary to remove graffiti from public or private property may be taken in order to effectuate the purposes of the redevelopment plan, and such removal actions shall assist with the elimination of blight, as defined in section 33031. L. The Agency finds and declares, pursuant to Health & Safety Code §33445 that certain publicly owned improvements shall be constructed or improved, financed partially or wholly, as determined by the Executive Director, with Agency funds within or without the project areas, thereby constituting debt of the Agency. The legislative body has determined that the facilities, structures or other improvements listed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the Agency's Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2011-2012 outside of the Merged Redevelopment Project Area, are of benefit to the Merged Redevelopment Project Area or the immediate neighborhood in which the project(s) are located. These projects include the proposed open space park and recreational facility to be constructed on the Agency owned properties on McFadden Avenue by using funds from the South Main Corridor. Further, no other reasonable means of financing the buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements are available to the community; and the payment of funds for the cost of the facilities, structures or other improvements will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the project area or provide housing for low- or moderate-income persons, and is consistent with the implementation plan adopted by the Agency pursuant to Health & Safety Code §33490. M. The Agency has reviewed the Amended Agreement between the City of Santa Ana and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana for Financial Operating Services ("Operating Agreement") and hereby updates and reaffirms said Agreement with the Second Amended Operating Agreement. Section 2. The fiscal year 2011-2012 budget of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana is hereby approved and adopted pursuant to Health & Safety Code §33606. Section 3.
