Vista Redevelopment Project Area (Agency Property) with Low and Moderate Income Housing
Funds for the purpose of providing affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.16 requires the Agency to
initiate activities within five years of acquiring an interest in real property consistent with the
development of housing for Low and Moderate Income households; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has received and worked on several development proposals for
the site, but past attempts to develop the site failed due to the location of the property, financial
infeasibility, and issues related to open space/park lands; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has not successfully initiated actions consistent with the
development of affordable housing on that Agency property within the prescribed time period
because of access issues and concerns from surrounding property owners and residents; and
WHEREAS, to comply with the requirements of California Redevelopment Law
regarding the initiation of development of affordable housing on real property purchased with
Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds the Agency now seeks to reimburse the Low and
Moderate Income Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Agency may retain ownership of the Agency Property by repayment of
the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund with general Tax Increment funding; and
WHEREAS, the Agency desires to retain ownership of the Agency Property until it can
appropriately dispose of such property in a manner that meets the goals of the Agency as set
