LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2302, Cardenas. Redevelopment: territorial jurisdiction. Under the existing Community Redevelopment Law, the territorial jurisdiction of the redevelopment agency of a county over a project area within territory subsequently annexed to a city or included within the boundaries of a new city remains with the county redevelopment agency unless the territorial jurisdiction is transferred to the city redevelopment agency pursuant to specified procedures. The Community Redevelopment Disaster Project Law authorizes until January 1, 2001, the establishment of a redevelopment agency and the adoption and implementation of a redevelopment plan within a disaster area. This bill would provide that the territorial jurisdiction over territory within a city and within a project area that is subsequently annexed to another city or included within the boundaries of a new city, would remain with the former city unless transferred to the latter city, as specified. The bill also would apply those provisions to redevelopment projects in disaster areas in a county or city. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 33214 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read: 33214. (a) Notwithstanding Section 33120, the territorial jurisdiction of an agency in the county shall include all of the unincorporated territory that was included in a project area selected pursuant to Section 33322 or 34004 even if that territory is subsequently annexed to a city or included within the boundaries of a new city, unless territorial jurisdiction over the project area is transferred from a county to a city pursuant to Section 33215 , 33216, or 33217. (b) Notwithstanding Section 33120, the territorial jurisdiction of an agency in a city shall include all of the territory within the limits of the city that was included in a project area selected pursuant to Section 33322 or 34004 even if that territory is subsequently annexed to another city or included within the boundaries of a new city, unless territorial jurisdiction over the project area is transferred to the other city pursuant to Section 33215, 33216, or 33217. SEC. 2. Section 33217 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read: 33217. If a portion of a city containing a portion of a redevelopment project area is incorporated as a new city, and the new city establishes an agency to be the receiving agency for that portion of the project area, the creating agency and the receiving agency shall have six months from the date of the establishment of that receiving agency to enter into an agreement pursuant to Section 33216. If that agreement is not entered into within that six-month period, the creating agency shall not thereafter expend any money pursuant to this part or Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 34000) within the project area, except to repay existing indebtedness, until those agencies have entered into that agreement. That indebtedness shall include outstanding bonded indebtedness, existing agreements, contracts, leases, and expenditures made to, or on behalf of, the project area from other resources or borrowings of the creating agency.
