territory is subsequently annexed to a city or included within the
boundaries of a new city, if the agency meets any of several
specified conditions prior to the effective date of the annexation or
incorporation,   specified former agency territory now
within the geographic boundaries of the City of Menifee or the City
of Wildomar,  unless jurisdiction over that territory is
transferred from the agency to  a city   either
of those cities  , as specified  , if the agency meets
any of several specified conditions prior to the effective date of
its annexation or incorporation  .  The bill would also
authorize the agency to apply specified housing units within that
territory toward specified low- or moderate-   income
housing obligations of the agency. 
   This bill would apply its provisions retroactively and
prospectively to  unincorporated territory located outside a
project area of the agency   the above-  
described former agency territory  .
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the Redevelopment Agency of
the County of Riverside.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 33214.7 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   33214.7.  (a) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, 
subject to subdivision (b),  the territorial jurisdiction of
the Redevelopment Agency of the County of Riverside shall include
 agency territory located outside a project area of the
agency, even if that territory is subsequently annexed to a city or
included within the boundaries of a new city,   any
former agency territory now within the geographic boundaries of the
City of Menifee or the City of Wildomar with respect to which the
agency, prior to the incorporation of the   applicable city,
entered into a binding agreement with a third party in furtherance
of the purposes set forth in Section 33334.2, acquired land or
otherwise expended money from its Low and Moderate Income Fund
established pursuant to Section 33334.3, or undertook an affirmative
action in opposition to the incorporation of that territory under
Section 33215, 33216, or 33217,  unless jurisdiction over that
territory is transferred from the agency to  a city 
 either of those cities  pursuant to Section 33215 or
33216, or an agreement entered into pursuant to Section 33217.

   (b) The Redevelopment Agency of the County of Riverside shall
retain jurisdiction over the territory specified in subdivision (a)
if the agency, prior to the effective date of the annexation or
incorporation of that territory, does any of the following: 

   (1) Enters into a binding agreement with a third party with
respect to that territory, in furtherance of one or more of the
purposes set forth in Section 33334.2.  
   (2) Acquires land or otherwise expends moneys with respect to that
territory from the agency's Low and Moderate Income Fund established
pursuant to Section 33334.3.  
   (3) Undertakes an affirmative action in opposition to the
annexation or incorporation of the territory under Section 33215,
33216, or 33217.  
   (c) 
    (b)  This section shall apply retroactively and
prospectively to  any unincorporated territory located
outside a project area of the agency.   the territory
specified in subdivision (a).  
    (c) The agency may apply towards its obligations under
subdivision (b) of Section 33413 units described in clause (ii) of
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 33413
that are located within the territory specified in subdivision (a).

  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique need to redress ambiguity as to the nature of
returns on investments by the Redevelopment Agency of the County of
Riverside  in unincorporated territories outside a project
area.   in former agency territory now within the
geographic boundaries of the City of Menifee or the City of Wildomar.
