CV 02849 6/16/90 Resolution No. 15676 Page 8 Questions and Answers: What You Should Know About Redevelopment. This notice is to inform you that your property, business or home is proposed to be included in a Redevelopment Project Area. The areas being considered are the Main Street, Palomar, West Fairfield, East Fairfield, Harborside, Woodlawn Park, Broderick's Otay Acres and Arizona Street areas. Many people will have questions about this new "project area", and what it will mean for them. This notice is to answer your questions about redevelopment. Question: What is redevelopment? Answer: Redevelopmerit is a process used by the City of Chula Vista to revitalize the economies of depressed or neglected communities. This is accomplished through the construction of needed improvements such as streets, sidewalks and landscaping, and through the replanning and rennovation of poorly used property. The city has four existing redevelopment project areas: To~rn Centre (3rd Avenue from E to I Street), in the Bayfront, on Otay Valley Road east of Interstate 805 and Town Centre II, an area along H Street and Broadway that includes the Chula Vista Shopping Center. This new redevelopment project area will include many areas that are in need of additional public infrastructure. The goal of redevelopment is to improve these services, improve the economy and to improve property values in the project area. Question: How does redevelopment work and what will it do? Answer: Redevelopment is a way to increase the amount of money spent by city government in your area. By designating your area as a redevelopment project, the city will be able to keep some additional property tax money that is now being sent to the state and other government agencies. This redevelopment project will not raise your taxes in any way. Instead, it will allow the city to keep more of the property tax dollars you pay now, working for you in your community. Technically, redevelopment acts to set a base year for the value of all property within the project area. By California law, property is taxed at 1% of its value per year. Today, the revenue from this property tax is divided among the state, the city, the county, school districts and other agencies. With redevelopment, whenever a property is revalued for tax purposes, when it is sold or major improvements are made, the tax paid on the value over the base year tax value goes directly to the redevelopment..~ project area. This is known as "tax increment revenue". Again, this will not result in a tax increase for you or anyone else. Resolution No. 15676 Page 9 Question: When will I see improvements from redevelopment? ~nswer: Redevelopment works over a long period of time. It is not a lort term, quick-fix program. A redevelopment plan is typically Implemented over 25 or even 30 years. During this 25 or 30 year period, the city will gradually receive the additional tax revenues from the property revaluation and use this money to improve public infrastructure and encourage new and existing business activity. Question: Will redevelopment mean that property will be condemned? Answer: The Chula Vista City Council will administer the project, serving as a "Redevelopment Agency." This agency may have the power of eminent domain (condemnation), just as the city, state and federal governments have such power in order to serve public needs. However, it is the desire of the Agency to limit the use of eminent domain as applied to residential property. Specific limitations and exclusions of this power will be adopted in the redevelopment plan after consideration and recommendation by the Project Area Committee and all other interested residents. On occasion, the Agency will purchase property. But this is normally ~ccomplished by offering property owners a price they accept through ~gotiation. Often this purchase also gives special property tax .avantages to the sellers. Question: How can I learn more about plans for redevelopment? Answer: Enclosed is a public notice for formation of a Project Area Committee. This 9-member committee is composed of people who own property, reside, represent a school district or community group, or operate a business in the designated redevelopment area. This Project Area Committee (PAC) is the local recommending organization for all actions taken within the project area. The PAC's recommendations are passed on to the Redevelopment Agency. An informational meeting about the project area and PAC membership elections will be held on June 19, 1990, at the Otay Community Center on Albany Avenue, just north of Main Street. Please attend this meeting if you are interested in more information about plans for redevelopment, or if you are interested in serving on the PAC.
