SUBJECT : Redevelopment: Redevelopment Agency of the

Riverside
SOURCE : Redevelopment Agency of the County of Riverside
DIGEST : This bill allows the Redevelopment Agency of the
County of Riverside to include territory that is now part
of the cities of Menifee, Wildomar, or Indio if, prior to

incorporation or annexation of these cities certain
conditions were met.
Assembly Amendments include specified territory surrounded
by the city of Indio.
ANALYSIS : The Community Redevelopment Law provides that
a county redevelopment agency's territorial jurisdiction is
the county's unincorporated area. The territorial
jurisdiction of a county redevelopment agency includes all
of the unincorporated territory that was in a county's
redevelopment project area, even if a city subsequently
annexes the territory or a new city incorporates on top of
the county's redevelopment project area. There are
procedures for counties to transfer control over their
project areas to the annexing city or the new city.
This bill allows the Redevelopment Agency of the County of
Riverside (Agency) to include territory that is now part of
the cities of Menifee, Wildomar, or Indio if, prior to
incorporation or annexation of these cities certain
conditions were met. Specifically, this bill:
1. Requires the territorial jurisdiction of the Agency to
include all of the following:
A. Former Agency territory within the geographic
boundaries of the city of Menifee or the city of
Wildomar if, prior to the incorporations, the Agency:
(1) Entered into a binding agreement with a
third party to produce affordable housing.
(2) Acquired land or otherwise expended money
from its Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund.
B. Territory currently within an island of
unincorporated territory that is surrounded or
substantially surrounded by the city of Indio, after
the city's annexation of that territory, if, prior to
that annexation, the Agency:
(1) Entered into a binding agreement with a

third party to produce affordable housing.
(2) Acquired land or otherwise expended money
from its Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund.
This bill allows the Agency to count the housing units that
it supports within the cities of Menifee, Wildomar and
Indio towards its statutory obligations to support
affordable housing.
This bill declares that it applies retroactively and
prospectively, and it contains legislative declarations to
support its special provisions.
Comments
The Agency has five project areas. In 2008, the new cities
of Menifee and Wildomar incorporated on top of parts of the
County's existing project areas. Before these
incorporations, however, County redevelopment officials
acquired land outside of their project areas and signed
agreements with a developer to build senior low-income
apartments in Menifee (Vineyards) and Wildomar (Tres
Lagos). County officials approved the apartment
developments before the incorporations took effect.
Because the properties are inside the new cities, but
outside of the County's redevelopment project areas, County
redevelopment officials lack the authority to continue with
the apartment developments. They want a legislative
declaration that the Agency's territory still includes
those properties, so that they can finish the apartments.
