NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DOES HEREBY, FIND AND ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The foregoing recitals are fully incorporated herein and made a substantive part of this Ordinance. Section 2. The City Council having considered the preliminary review of environmental impacts prepared in connection with the proposed Amendment, including the record of these proceedings and the above recitals, hereby finds and determines that Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Alpha Redevelopment Project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(2) and (3) and Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 3. The City Clerk is hereby authorized to prepare and file a Notice of Exemption with the Clerk for the County of Orange upon approval of the Amendment by the City Council. Section 4. Based on the evidence in the record, including, but not limited to, the Agency's Report to the City Council on the Amendment prepared in accordance with CRL Section 33352, and all documents referenced therein, and evidence and testimony received at the joint public hearing on adoption of the Amendment held on May 11, 2004, and the Original Ordinances, the City Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations as warranted by the Amendment: a) The implementation of the Amendment (and the other amendments causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City of Anaheim and will effectuate the purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact the Amendment (in particular the merger proceedings) is and will be of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the revitalization of blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such areas, and increased and improved housing opportunities, in particular the financial benefits and feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue due to the merger. b) The Amendment, by amending the land use provisions contained within the I'xisting Plan will allow the Agency the ability to facilitate development opportunities within the Project Area in conformance with the General Plan, which will further facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas and the elimination of blighting conditions as described in the Original Ordinances. C) The Amendment will assist, as deemed necessary, in the redevelopment of the Project Area in conformity with the CRL and in the interests of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. This finding is based upon the fact that the purposes of the CRL would be attained by implementing the Existing Plan, as amended by the Amendment, to eliminate conditions of blight in the Project Area and prevent their reoccurrence through the 4 I: Docs DF\',A( S`,RESOLIa'1vrcr4429A.doc 6, Al implementation of the Agency's on-going projects and programs in conjunction with other agencies public and private projects and programs. d) The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the purposes and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area as a whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate development and improve the economic and physical conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project Area. e) The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the Existing Plan and the Amendment the Agency will continue to be authorized to seek and utilize a variety of potential financing resources, including property tax increment revenues, that the nature and timing of public redevelopment assistance within the Project Area will continue to depend upon the amount and availability of such financing resources, including tax increment generated by new investment in the Merged Project Area; that under the Existing Plan and the Amendment no public redevelopment activity can be undertaken unless the Agency can demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and that the financing plan included within the Agency's Report to the City Council prepared for the Amendment demonstrates that sufficient financial resources will be available to carry out the implementation of the Existing Plan and will allow flexibility within the Merged Project Area in addressing the most pressing needs and respond to market forces more effectively. f) The Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, including, but not limited to, the Housing Element of the General Plan, which substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code. This finding is based upon the General Plan and the findings of the Planning Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan as set forth in its Resolution No. 2004-28. g) The finding and determination required by CRL Section 33367(d)(6) is not warranted by the Amendment because the Existing Plan does not contain authority for the Agency to acquire, by eminent domain, any property within the Project Area. h) The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the relocation of families and persons who might be displaced, temporarily or permanently, from housing facilities in the Merged Project Area by means other than the use of eminent domain. The Agency also has a feasible method and plan for relocation of businesses. This finding is based upon the fact that in conjunction with the adoption of the Original Ordinances, the Agency had prepared a method or plan for relocation of families, persons and businesses that may be displaced by Agency projects. The relocation plans prepared for the Project Area by the Existing Plan, and included within the Report(s) to the City Council prepared for the Existing Plan provides for relocation assistance within the Project Area according to law, and the fact that such assistance, including relocation payments, constitutes a feasible method for relocation. i) There are, or shall be provided, within the Merged Project Area or within other areas not generally less desirable with regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of the families and 5 1= IAxc DI_A Y,( S',RESOLUTN,rcr4429A.doc M1 persons who might be displaced from the Project Area, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the provisions of the Existing Plan and Original Ordinances which require that families and persons shall not be displaced prior to the adoption of a relocation plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33411 and 33411. 1, and that dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate -income shall not be removed or destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing plan pursuant to CRL Sections 33334.5, 33413 and 33413.5. Section 5. The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities will be available within three years from the time residential occupants of the Project Area, if any, are displaced, and that pending the development of such facilities, there will be available to any such displaced residential occupants temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City at the time of their displacement. This finding is based upon the City Council's finding that no persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from residences unless and until there are suitable housing units available and ready for occupancy by such displaced persons or farrulles at rents comparable to those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe, sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings. Section 6. Written objections to the Amendment filed with the City Clerk before the hour set for the hearing on the Amendment and all written and oral objections presented to the City Council at the hearing having been considered and, in the case of written objections received from Project Area property owners, occupants and affected taxing agencies having been responded to in writing, all such objections are hereby overruled. Section 7. The Existing Plan, as adopted by the Original Ordinances, is hereby further amended as set forth in the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A. As so amended, the Existing Plan is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Executive Director of the Agency is hereby authorized to combine the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Existing Plan prepared for the Redevelopment Project Alpha, and when filed with the City Clerk and the Secretary of the Agency, shall constitute the official Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project Alpha.

The Project Area is comprised of two (2) non-contiguous areas including 200 -acre area in the Downtown and 2,169 -acre area located in the City's primary industrial area three miles northeast of Downtown. The Redevelopment Plan has been amended seven times. The City Council adopted the first amendment to the Redevelopment Plan on July 20, 1976 by Ordinance No. 3567 to delete portions of the industrial area from the Project Area boundaries. The second amendment to the Redevelopment Plan was adopted on November 30, 1976 by Ordinance No. 3631, which modified land uses within the Downtown area. The third amendment to the Redevelopment Plan adopted on January 2, 1982 by Ordinance No. 4300, further modified specific land uses within the Downtown area. The fourth amendment adopted by the City Council on December 16, 1986 by Ordinance No. 4786 made modifications to the Redevelopment Plan as required by the Legislature which established certain fiscal and time limitations. The fifth amendment adopted by the City Council on December 13, 1994 by Ordinance No. 5468 established certain time limits in compliance with AB 1290. The sixth amendment adopted by the City Council on December 16, 2003 by Ordinance No. 5895 extended the time limit for Redevelopment Plan effectiveness, payment of incurred indebtedness, and receipt of tax increment by one (1) year in accordance with SB 1045. The seventh amendment adopted by the City Council on January 27, 2004 by Ordinance No. 5899 deleted the time limit to incur debt in the Redevelopment Plan pursuant to SB 211. The Anaheim Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is proposing an eighth amendment ("Eighth Amendment") to the Redevelopment Plan, the purposes of which are to: 1) merge the Project Area with the River Valley Redevelopment Project, Plaza Redevelopment Project, Commercial/ Industrial Redevelopment Project, West Anaheim Commercial Corridors Redevelopment Project, and the Stadium Redevelopment Project ("Merged Projects"); and 2) to add a provision to the Redevelopment Plan that states that the Redevelopment Plan land uses will be consistent with the City's General Plan as the General Plan as it currently exists and as it is amended from time to time. No amendment is proposed to the fiscal or time limits or the boundaries of the Project Area. The fiscal and time limits in effect and stated in the Redevelopment Plan, as amended, for the Project Area shall remain in force and effect. The Redevelopment Plan is hereby further amended to include a modified Section IV (A.— F., §400 through 408), Uses Permitted in the Project Area, and a new Part XI to the Redevelopment Plan to read as follows: M4 Revised text: A. (§401) Permitted Land Uses Permitted land uses within the Project Area may include, but are not limited to, residential, commercial, industrial, open space, public, quasi -public, institutional, and non-profit land uses as designated in and in conformity with the City of Anaheim General Plan. The City will from time to time update and revise the General Plan. It is the intention that the Redevelopment Plan land uses and overall street layout to be permitted within the Project Area shall be as provided within the City's General Plan, as it currently exists or as it may from time to time be amended, and as implemented and applied by City ordinances, resolutions and other laws. Uses other than those designated in the General Plan and its land use map may be authorized by the City from time to time by General Plan amendments as authorized by law. B. (§402) Limitation on Authority To the extent the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan authorize the Agency or the City to permit property within the Project Area to be developed for uses which do not conform to the Redevelopment Plan, or to establish design guidelines and restrictions, such provisions and the authority of the Agency or City granted thereby are limited by the provisions of the City's General Plan, as it exists and as it may be amended or revised from time to time. Nothing in the Redevelopment Plan shall be deemed to grant authority to either the Agency or the City to grant a variance from, or approve a development or use of property which does not conform with, or otherwise take any action not consistent with, the City's General Plan, as it exists and as it may be amended or revised from time to time. C. (§403) Reserved. D. (§404) Reserved. E. (§405) Reserved. F. (§406 — 408) Reserved. XI. (§1100) MERGER Upon the effective date of the ordinance adopting the Eighth Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan, and provided the ordinances become effective amending the Redevelopment Plans for the Merged Projects, the Alpha Redevelopment Project will hereby be merged with the River Valley Redevelopment Project, Plaza Redevelopment Project, Commercial/Industrial Redevelopment Project, West Anaheim Commercial Corridors Redevelopment Project, and the Stadium Redevelopment Project, collectively referred to as the "Merged Redevelopment Projects". 2 PA0402013 ANP.
