A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, MAKING THE FINDINGS REQUIRED
BY SECTION 33445 OF THE CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT LAW AND
DETERMINING THAT THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FROM
THE MOORE'S DEMOLITION AND REPAVING PROJECT IS OF BENEFIT
TO THE DOWNTOWN NEWHALL PROJECT AREA
WHEREAS, the Santa Clarita Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") is a public body,
corporate and politic, duly established and authorized to transact business and exercise powers
under and pursuant to the provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of
California, constituting Part 1 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of
California (the "Law"), including the power to expend funds for public improvements for the
benefit of the Santa Clarita Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"); and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Clarita ("City") is the legislative body for the community
in which the Project Area is located and pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 33445 is
required to consent to payments to be made by its Agency for capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Santa Clarita Redevelopment Plan adopted on December 22, 2005
provides for the funding of public improvements within the Project Area; and
WHEREAS, the provision of public improvements is consistent with the Redevelopment
Project's Five -Year Implementation Plan in that the Moore's Demolition and Public
Improvements Project ("Project") is listed as a project meeting the goals and objectives of the
Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Agency intends to fund the Project as further described in Exhibit A,
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, with $25,000.00 of Agency
funds; and
WHEREAS, there are appropriate facts supporting the findings required by Health &
Safety Code Section 33445 for the City Council to consent to the Agency's expenditure of funds
for the public improvements provided by the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita, California, does
hereby resolve, determine, and order as follows:
SECTION 1. The provision of the public improvements involved in the demolition of
the "Moore's Sub Shop" building (and addition of temporary parking) as described in Exhibit A
is of benefit to the Redevelopment Project Area in that it will assist in eliminating one or more
blighting conditions and is necessary to effectuate the Redevelopment Plan because:
a) The "Moore's Sub Shop" building is a substandard structure contributing to
"blighted" conditions in the area; and
b) Costs to improve and upgrade the structure exceed the value of the building itself and
would not create an economically viable use of the property; and
c) The Implementation Plan has identified the site in question as the potential location of
a future museum; and
d) Providing temporary parking while planned structures are being developed will help
relieve the Plan identified parking deficiencies that currently exist.
SECTION 2. The City finds that no other reasonable means of financing the Project are
available to the community as the City is using its funds to undertake other capital improvements
throughout the City; and
SECTION 3. The Provision of the public improvements provided by the Project is
consistent with the Agency's 5 -year Implementation Plan, adopted on October 22, 2002 in that it
will help address blighted conditions and parking deficiencies.
SECTION 4. This Resolution shall take effect from and after its date of passage,
approval and adoption.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of May, 2007.
