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.

The Agency desires to put into effect rules for owner participation,
which shall be applicable to. the Project Area. These "Rules Governing
Participation and Preferences for Owners, Operators of Businesses
and Tenants" for the Project Area (the "Owner Participation Rules")
are promulgated to implement the provisions of . the California
Community Redevelopment Law (the "CRL"), and the Redevelopment
Plan regarding participation by owners, businesses and tenants in the
Project Area, and are required pursuant to CRL Section 33345.
Owner Participation Rules set forth the procedures governing such
participation in accordance with the draft Redevelopment Plan for the
Project Area.
It is the intention of the Agency to encourage and permit participation
in the redevelopment of the Project Area by owners, businesses, and
tenants residing within the boundaries of.the Project Area, to the
extent feasible and consistent with the Redevelopment Plan.
Participation by individual persons and firms is permitted; and, in

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

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

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.

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.
