RDA 97-7 - ADOPTING RULES GOVERNING PARTICIPATION AND PREFERENCES FOR OWNERS, OPERATORS OF BUSINESSES AND TENANTS AND A RELOCATION METHOD FOR THE NEWHALL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT DEPARTMENT: Newhall Redevelopment Agency BACKGROUND Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) requires that the Redevelopment Agency, within a reasonable period of time before it approves the Redevelopment Plan, adopt rules for the extension of preferences to persons who own property, are engaged in business, or are tenants in the Project Area to directly participate in redevelopment programs. These rules are more commonly known as the "Owner Participation Rules." The detailed provisions of the Owner Participation Rules implement requirements of the CRL that owners, business operators, and tenants be given the opportunity to participate in redevelopment programs. Most of these detailed provisions simply repeat language in the CRL, or is language that has been upheld by the courts. As such, most of the details of the Owner Participation Rules are fixed either by the law or by legal precedent. The same holds true for the Relocation Method. CRL requires that a feasible Relocation Method be in place prior to adoption of the Plan. The Relocation Method must also be consistent with State Eminent Domain Law and the State Relocation Assistance and Property Acquisition Guidelines. The Relocation Method or plan is required to be prepared, irrespective of whether any displacement of residents, businesses, or others is anticipated. The Relocation Method details: 1) Mechanisms to assure that relocation resources are available before displacement occurs. 2) The types of relocation advisory assistance available to the Redevelopment Agency for persons being displaced. 3) Basic information related to relocation and assistance payments. NEW 4) The proper administration of relocation activities, including grievance procedures to be followed in such administration. The Newhall Redevelopment Committee has reviewed both of these documents. GRC Redevelopment Consultants and staff will be available to answer any questions from the Agency.

Proposals submitted for particular sites or land uses will be appraised by the Agency after consideration of the following factors: Draft Newhall Redevelopment Project 1. Removal of blighting conditions within the Project Area and the upgrading of uses. 2. Conformity of the proposal, including with respect to uses, with the Redevelopment Plan and other applicable enactments. 3. Conformity of the proposal with the intent and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. 4. The degree to which the proposal best furthers the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. 5. The employment opportunities and economic benefits to the Agency and to the community that can be reasonably expected to result from the implementation of the proposals. 6. Development team qualifications, including experience and financial capacity to undertake the project, the ability of the person(s) desiring to redevelop the property to implement the proposed project, taking into consideration the proponent's financial capability, prior experience with similar development, degree of site control, ability to obtain financing, ability to abide by Agency design standards and development controls, and readiness to proceed. 7. Estimated cost, if any, of City or Agency involvement, including the provision of City or Agency services, to be required if the proposal is accepted. 8.

In the event conflicting submittals are received that satisfy the criteria set forth in above, the following criteria shall be applied to resolve such conflict: 1. Best satisfaction of the criteria set forth above. 2. Greatest public benefit. The Agency may receive and consider proposals from persons other than owners or tenants. The Agency will evaluate all such proposals based upon the criteria set forth in the above section. The Agency shall give preference to proposal by owners and tenants in the event an owner or tenant,submits a proposal that fulfills the criteria set forth in the above section to substantially the same extent as that achieved by a proposal by a person other than an owner or tenant. 3.3 Time Periods for Participation and Procedures for Evaluation of Submittals At any time prior. to entering into an agreement with a developer from outside the Project Area for the assemblage of a particular site, the Agency, through its staff, will notify all directly affected Owners and Tenants from within the particular site of the Owner Participation Rules. Owners and tenants so notified will be given thirty (30) calendar days to respond, indicating by a "Statement of Interest" whether they are interested in being considered as participants and, if so, in what capacity (further described in Chapter 6.0). Any Statement of Interest must be in writing, in the form of Exhibit "A". The Agency staff shall, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of a Statement of Interest, acknowledge receipt of the Statement by a confirming letter to the prospective participant. Such written acknowledgment shall not obligate the Agency to ultimately reach agreement with the applicant or to reject other proposals. Within thirty (30) days of the deadline for submitting the Statement of Interest, (thus, within a total of sixty (60) days from original notification) any owner or tenant desiring to be considered as a developer must submit a detailed proposal for the project, which shall include such items as a construction proforma, on operating proforma, a business plan, side elevations and a site plan. An owner or tenant desiring to participate as a tenant shall describe generally.its business, and shall provide such additional information as may be MCI Draft 8 Newhall Redevelopment Project requested by the Executive Director. The Agency's staff will be available throughout the above -listed time frame to discuss proposals and to assist informally in the making of necessary adjustments conducive to the parties involved; provided that the proponent, and not the Agency staff, shall be responsible for the content of any proposal. The Agency will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the interested owners, businesses, and tenants desiring to participate in the project. Upon receipt of requests for consideration by owners or tenants from within the Project Area with respect to owner participation or re-entry of business within the Project Area, the Agency through its staff, will review such submittals, as set forth below. Upon receipt of submittals, initial evaluation shall be conducted by the Executive Director of the Agency. Each party making a submittal is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of its submittals. If requested by the Executive Director, submittals shall include a construction proforma (if applicable), an operating proforma, a business plan, side elevations and a site plan. Proposals to participate as tenants shall include a description of the subject business, a business plan, and such other information as the proponent may deem appropriate or as may be requested by the Executive Director. These items may also be requested of a party that expresses an interest to participate solely as a tenant. In the event the Executive Director notifies a party making a submittal that the submittal is incomplete or that additional information is required, such party shall be allowed two (2) weeks to complete its submittal. The failure to provide such additional information of the submittal in a timely manner will terminate consideration of any such submittal. Upon receipt of one or more submittals, and additional information is applicable, the Executive Director will evaluate the submittal and make a determination with respect to whether the submittal conforms to the criteria set forth in Chapter 3.0. In the event a party having made a submittal disagrees with conclusions reached by the Executive Director, such party may appeal such decision to the governing Council of the Agency by making written request therefore within ten (10) days after the Executive Director transmits notice of the initial evaluation. The review of such submittal(s) by the Agency shall be de novo (anew). Where the Executive . Director deems appropriate, the Executive Director or a staff member will meet with the Draft GOC 9 City of Santa Clarita Redevelopment Agency applicant and discuss. the proposal prior to making a determination concerning the proposal. A determination shall be made by the Executive Director within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the proposal, or the time the proposal is required to be received, whichever is earlier; provided that the foregoing 45 -day period shall be subject to reasonable extension upon the mutual agreement of the Executive Director and the party making the submittal. Any decision by the Executive Director resolving a conflict between submittals may be appealed for de novo review by the governing body of the Agency by the applicant by mailing a written request within ten (10) days after the Executive Director transmits notice of his decision. If an appeal is filed in accordance with the procedures herein set forth, all times otherwise applicable pursuant to these rules shall be extended until the Agency decides the appeal, or the appeal is withdrawn or otherwise finally determined. GRC I Draft 10 Newhall Redevelopment Project 4.0 PARTICIPATION BY OWNERS IN THE SAME LOCATION In appropriate circumstances where such action would foster the unified development contemplated by the Redevelopment Plan, an owner may participate in substantially the same location either by retaining all or portions of his property, or by retaining all or portions of his property and purchasing adjacent property if needed and available for development in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. An owner who participates in the same location may be required to rehabilitate or demolish all or part of his existing buildings or the Agency may acquire only the buildings and remove or demolish such buildings. Where a proposal to participate in the same location involves a building in good condition, but with an existing use which does not conform to the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency may allow such use to continue provided that such use is generally compatible with the permitted uses in the area in which the building is located. In order to remain in the Project Area with a nonconforming use, the owner must agree to the imposition of such reasonable restrictions as are necessary to protect the permitted uses in the remainder of the Project Area. The final decision concerning acquisition of real property by the Agency will be based upon the conditions existing at the time the Agency purchases property or enters into Participation Agreements. Draft GRC 21i Newhall Redevelopment Project 5.0 PARTICIPATION BY BUSINESSES AND TENANTS Pursuant to these Owner Participation Rules, businesses or tenants in the Project Area will be given a reasonable opportunity to remain or preferences to re-enter, into the Project Area, if they otherwise meet the requirements prescribed by the Redevelopment Plan and these Owner Participation Rules. In the case of re-entry, preferences will be given if suitable facilities become available with implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. The viability of the involvement of a business or tenant in re-entry will depend, in part, upon the ability of the person to participate on the basis proposed, including such factors as the ability to pay the requisite rent, the suitability of the proposed tenancy for the development under consideration, readiness to proceed, and those other factors as generally set forth in Chapter 3.0. Draft GRC Ci3 Newhall Redevelopment Project 6.0 PROCEDURE FOR BECOMING A PARTICIPANT 6.1 Submittal of a Statement of Interest The Agency will, through its staff, work with each owner, business and tenant in the Project -Area who desires to participate. The Agency will notify by certified mail, return receipt requested, the last known assessee of any particular property that will be affected by a project.

Every owner, business or tenant interested in becoming a participant shall submit to the Agency a completed Statement of Interest to Participate (Appendix A) within thirty (30) days from the date of the notification.

The Agency shall proceed to negotiate with each owner, business or tenant returning the statement of Interest to Participate as appropriate to each owner, business or tenant response. Draft GDC 15 City of Santa Clarita Redevelopment Agency Failure to comply with time limitations as described in Chapter 3.0 shall be deemed to constitute an abandonment and relinquishment of any right of the proponent to be considered as a participant pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and these Owner Participation Rules. Subject to the provisions of these Owner Participation Rules, the Agency will endeavor in good faith to accommodate owners, business operators, or tenants desiring to develop or improve property in the Project Area by expediting the negotiation of Participation Agreements upon request. The foregoing shall not be deemed to diminish the rights or discretion of the Agency in implementing the Redevelopment Plan. 6.2 Submittal of a Proposal for Owner/Tenant Participation The Agency, by inclusion of the Owner Participation Rules or reference to these Owner.Participation Rules in writing to any potential participant, shall be considered to have notified each owner, business,. or tenant who has submitted a valid Statement of Interest to Participate (Appendix.A) of the time within which they must submit a proposal for participation, if they desired participation. In addition, if the Agency determines that an owner, business, or tenant within the Project Area will be required to enter into a Participation Agreement, the Agency shall notify the owner, business, or tenant in writing of its intention to require a Participation Agreement, and shall provide the owner, business, or tenant with a copy of the proposed Participation Agreement. 6.3 Completion of a Participation Agreement Each owner, business, or tenant who has submitted an acceptable proposal for participation shall enter into a Participation Agreement with the Agency. Each Participation Agreement will contain provisions necessary to ensure that the participation proposal will be carried out, and that the subject property will be developed and/or rehabilitated and used in accordance with the conditions, restrictions, rules and regulations of the Redevelopment Plan and the subject Participation Agreement. Each Participation Agreement will require the participant to join in the recordation of such documents as the Agency may require in order to ensure conformance with applicable laws, conditions, restrictions, GQ Draft i6 Newhall Redevelopment Project rules and regulations. The Participation Agreement will also provide that a successor -in -interest of the original participant may become a participant with the written approval of the Agency. A Participation Agreement shall generally provide that if the owner, business, or tenant does not comply with the terms of the Agreement, the Agency, in addition to other remedies, may acquire their property or any interest therein by any lawful means, including eminent domain, for its fair market value as of the date of the Participation Agreement (or such other value as maybe negotiated), and the Agency may.thereafter dispose of the property or interest so acquired in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. All Participation Agreements will become effective only when approved by the Agency. Draft GRC 77 Newhall Redevelopment Project 7.0 LIMITATIONS ON ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY BY THE AGENCY The Agency shall not acquire real property on which an existing building is to be continued at its present site and in its present form and use without the consent of the owner or occupant unless: • Such building is required, under applicable housing, building, electrical, plumbing or other codes or standards, structural alteration, improvement, modernization or rehabilitation, to assure that such structures are decent, safe and sanitary for people and businesses to occupy. • The site or lot on which the building is situated requires modification in size, configuration or use. • It is necessary to impose upon such property any of the standards, restrictions and controls of the Redevelopment Plan, and the Owner fails or refuses to participate in the Redevelopment Plan by executing a Participation Agreement.
