INTRODUCTION On March 22, 1994 and :;(arch 29/ 1994 the C1 ty Councl:: adopted resolutlons establls21Dg a study area for a proposed San~a Monlca Earthquake Recovery ~edevelop~ent ?:an and establ~shlng 1993/1994 as the base year ~ax asseSSTIer.t roll, respectlvely. On May 24, 1994, the Redevelopment Agency ar.d Cl~y Councll recoTIL~ended a JOlnt hearlng for June 21, 1994 to dlSCUSS the proposed Plan, and adopted the statutorlly req~lred r~~es for owner partlclpatlon and preferences. TnlS staff report prov:des an overVlew 0: the Report to Counell and Redevelop~ent Pla~ provlded to the Cou~cll In the attached blnder (Attachment A); recommends ~hat the Clty Cou~cll and Redevelopment Agency hold a publlC hearlng; recommends that the Redevelopment Agency adopt three resolutlOr.S for the purpose of flndlng adoptlon of the Redevelopmen~ Plan exempt from the Callfornla Envlronmental Quallty Act (CEQA), f:.ndlng the beneflt of uSlng tax lncrements revenues outslde of the ProJect Area for low- and wodera:e-lncome houslng, and approvlng the redevelopment plan (Attachmen~s B, C and D); and recommends that the Clty Councll approve two resolutlons and an ordlnance flr.dlng the adoptlon of the Redevelopment Plan exempt from CEQA, flndlng the benefl t of uSlng tax lncrement revenues outslde the proJ ect .n.rea for low- and moderate-:.ncome houslng, and adop~lng the Redevelopme~L Plan (Attachment E, F, G). BACKGROUND The Ob]ectlves of the proposed Redevelopment Plan are to undertake an earthqua<e recovery p~oJect conslstent Wlt~ State and local laws to provlde for the repa:.r, restora~lon, replacement and ~alntenance of property and facllltles da~aged or destroyed as a result of the January 1994 Northrldge Earthquake and lts aftershocks. The proposed RedevelopI!J.e!lt Plan speclflcally oml ts the use of emlnent domaln to acqUlre property, but lnstead emphaslzes the use of tax lnCre::lent :-,mcis -Q G.~ a f:.nancl~g mechar.lsm for recovery actlons. "Tax lr.crer1.ent" lS L:hat portlon of the property taxes collected WhlCh :.s attrlbutable to the lncrease ln assessed valuatlon of property located wlthln the boundarles of the 2 redevelopment areal after the year of the adoptlon of the redevelopment pro] ect. Dependlng upon actual recelpt of tax revenue, the Redevelopment Agency can spend funds as they are reeelved or use lts bcndlng authorlty to float bonds to pay for redevelopment pro] ects. The bonds would be pald off Wl th tax lnerement fur:ds. PROJECT BOUNDARIES The proJect boundarles adopted as the Survey Area by the Counell and Redevelopment Agency o~ ~arch 22, 19941 have been modlfled so that the eastern bourrdarles are now Cloverfleld Boulevard and 26th Street, not the Cl ty 1 lIT'.l::S (see Attachment H). The remalnlng boundarles are approx:..~a~ely P1CO Boulevard to the south, Montana Avenue to the north, and Pacl:lc Coast Hlghway/Beach Promenade to the west. ThlS proJect area lneludes the greatest number of damaged bUlldlngs ln the Cl~Y, lncludlng approxlmately 90% of all red-tagged bu:..ldlngs a~d 80% of all yellow-tagged bUlldlngs ln the Clty. REPORT TO COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The Report to CauDell and Redevelopment Plan were attached to the draft staff report O~ June 9, 1994. The Report to Counell explalns the Plan, substantlates the =actual basls for the PlaDI and explalns the speclal alternatlve procedures under the e~ergency provlSlon of the Redeveloprrent Law used to adopt the Plan. In partlcular, the Report to COUDCll explalns the reasons for 3 select1ng the ProJect Area, descrlbes the physlcal condltlons In the ProJect Area, descrlbes the proJects proposed under the Plan, explalns how the proJects wlll address the damage caused by the earthquake, and descrlbes t~'1e method of flnaDclng the proposed Redevelopment ProJec~. The Redevelopment Plan 1S the legal document adopted by the Clty Councll to facllltate the repalr, restoratlon, or replacement of propertles and faclll tles damaged by the earthquake. The Plan outllnes the powers and ac~~vltles that the Agency may undertake, outllnes the ~and use a~d deve~op~ent requirements of the ProJect, and descrlbes the flnanclng 0: the proJect, 1ncludlng statutorlly requlred pass-through agreements to other taxIng agenc1es. Wlth respect to land use and development requlrements, the Plan states that all proJects wlll be s~bJect to eXlstl~g zonlng and general plan requlrements of the Clty, and as those requ1rements may be amended. DAMAGE WITHIN REDEVELOPMENT AREA The most extenslve eart~quake damage occurred w1thln the ProJect Area, where a total of 1,914 b-..1l1du:gs ',.lere damaged, wlth an estlmated property darnage 0:: appro~nr.1ately $187,991,000. ThlS lncludes damage to maJor corr~erc~al corrldors l~ the Clty, lDcludlng W~lshlre Boulevard, Santa Monlca Boulevard, Montana Avenue, L1Dcoln Bouleva~d, Plce 3ouleva~d, Ocean Avenue and t~e downtown dlstrlct. Da~age and repalr to bUlldlngs ln these areas 4 d1scourage patronage not only of bus1nesses located In damaged bU1ldings, but also to nearby bus1nesses. The Cl ty IS mul tl-famlly dlstrlcts, lnclud1ng a large number of affordable apartment un~ts, also suffered extenSlve damage. Among the red- and yellow-tagged resldentlal structures throughout the C1ty, 2,218 are rent controlled, wlth approxlmately 87 percent affordable to lQT.,ver-lncome households. Slnce the boundarles of the ProJect encompass most of the mult1-famlly zonlng d1str1cts where damage occurred, the ProJect Area 1ncludes most of these affordable un1ts. REASON FOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT As a result of the Dlsaster, landowners and tenants have suffered debllltatlng losses, as noted ln Part III of the Report to Councll. Pr1vate ana publle landowners are stra1nln9 to bear the losses caused by the Dlsaster, and the repalrs, rebulldlng, and restorat1on of many facll1t1es ~n the ProJect Area are flnanclally lnfeaslble wlthou~ add1tlonal f1nanclal asslstance. Costs would dlssuade prlvate lnvestment ln the ProJect Area, because there are other commerc1al Sl tes avallable ~olhlCh do not bear such extra costs. Through the adoptlon of tLe Sar:hquake Recovery Act on Aprll 19, 1994, the C1ty has gone to great lengths to reduce the costs of earthquake-related repalr and reconstruct lOr. for prlvate property 5 owners. Under the Act, the Clty walved all permlt processlng fees for the repalr and reconstructlon of damaged bUlldlngs; allowed for the In- klnd repalr and reconstructlon of legal non-conforming structures; allowed expedl ted perml t process lng procedures for earthquake-related work; provlded for a 15 percent square footage bonus as an lncentlve for the reconstructlon of multl-famlly rental houslng; allowed longer constructlon hours; and, conslstent wlth State law, made all proJects recelvlng a perm~t under the Earthquake Recovery Act categorlca:ly exeTIpt from envlronmental reVlew. Nevertheless, obstacles beyond the Clty'S control rerealn to repalr and reconstructlon. For example, the development lncentlves offered by the Clty ~ay not be sufflclent In sltuatlons whe~e the property owner's ow~ =lnancla: sltuatlon was precarlous even before the earthquake. Indeed, repalr and reconstructlon the flnanclal analysls 0: lncentlves lndlcated that the Clty'S lD certaln clrcumstances the level of econOffilC return wo~ld not be sufflclent to attract the owner to repalr and/or rebu1ld. The State's prOV1SlOr. for ear~~q~ake rellef, Proposltlon lA on the June, 1994 ballo~, was to provlde $2 Dll110n l~ earthquake rellef funds, lncludl~g $575 mllllo~ for houslng reconstructlon. However, Proposltlon lA dld not pass, and the StaLe has not taken any actlon at thlS p01nt to provlde adequate resources for earthquake repalr (See Attachment I). 6 Damage to the Cl ty' S affordable mul t1- fam1ly houslng stock lS slgn1flcant Slnce much of the mult1-famlly houslng that 1S damaged by an earthquake may not be rebullt due to the Ilffilted ava1lablllty of flnanc1al resources. As of February, 1994, four years after the Lorna Prleta earthquake, 50 percent of the multl-famlly unlts lost as a result of the Lorna Prleta earthquake rema1ned unrepa1red or unreplaced (t-1ary C. ComerlO et al, npost-D1saster Resldent1al Rebu1ldlr:g" , Inst1tute of Urban and Reg10nal Development, Un1verslty of Callrornla at Berkeley, February, 1994, page Vl.). Also, the costs of repaIr may be passed through to the tenant In the form of lncreased rents, Wh1Ch could result ln a substantlal loss of affordable rental hous1ng ln the Clty of Santa Monlca. Funds for the repalr of In'J.ltl-fam1ly res1dentlal bU1ldlngs are extremely IlITlted. Wh1le the Clty has obtaIned $2 ~llllon In HOME funds for emergency repalrs and $2.7 m~lllon In Cornmunlty Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, these amounts are lnslgnlflcant ln compar1son to the cost of damage to multl-famlly resldentlal bUlldlngs ln the ProJect Area. Plus, Small BUSlness Adrn1nlstraLlo~ (SBA) loar-s are lnadequa~e because they are dlfflcul t to quallfy :or and by statutory lun:: tatlons may not exceed $1.5 IDllllOD, Wh1Ch wlll not come close to covering the cost at repalring larger apartment bUlldlngs. Also, as of thlS date, approxlmately 50% of SBA loan appl1cations In the reglon have been denled, WhlCh leaves most landowners and tenants wlthout vlable alternat1ves. ..., I Damage to the Clty'S commerclal bUlldlngs lS slgnlflcant for many of the same reasons for mul tl-famlly bUlldlngs. Most of the damaged cormnerclal bUl2.ci::":lgs are outdated structures WhlCh had Ilffilted cash-flow cO~lng from thelr pre-earthquake uses and had modest pre-exlstlng leases. Revenues to the property owner from these Clrcumstances are often not substantlal enough to pay for earthquake repalr. ~lsaster funds to commerclal property owners have been mlnl~al to date from sources llke the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FE~~.) and SEA. Studles from the Lorna Prleta earthquake mentloned above also show that less than 35% of buslnesses damaged In that Dlsaster have ultlmately recelved physlcal dlsaster funds fro~ SEA. Also mentloned above, approxlmately 50% of SBA loan appllcatlons In the reglon as of th1S date have already been de~led, leavlng co~erClal property owners and tenants Wl thout vlable :: E'.a::clng a1 ternatl ves. Plus, SBA requlrements, as set by Congress, don't lend themselves to helplng propertles that vlere marglnal due to the receSSlon before the earthquake. Wlth the down-slzlng of Salnt John's ~ospltal, one of the Clty'S largest employers, there has been a slgnlflcant loss of buslness to supportlng lCQUstrles. ~andowners and tenants wlth now outdated lndustrles wlll have to adapt to new types of business. If these buslnesses experlenced damage In the earthquake, they wlll llkely flnd capltal very ci~ff~c~lt to secure from conventlonal lenders SlDce they wlll essentlally be treated as new bUSlnesses. 8 The prlmary purpose of the proposed Redevelopment Plan lS to provlde f1nanClal and techn1cal asslstance to the area affected by the Dlsaster to address these lssues. Imposlt1on of add1t1onal costs to ald In the recovery and restorat1on 1n the form of developers fees, spec1al assessments, developer contr1butlons, or offs1te development costs 1mposed by contract to respond to the D1saster would under~lne and defeat the purpose of the Santa Mon1ca Earthquake Recovery Redevelop~ent ProJect. There are also llm1tatlons to the Federal a~d State programs deslgned to ass1st 1n earthquake recovery. ?herefore, the proposed publlC 1mprovements cannot be accompllshed by pr1vate enterpr1se act1ng alone or other non-tax lncrement flnanc1ng alternatlves. PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Part IV of the ~epor~ ~o Co~r.cll proposes a flve year 1mplementatlon p~ogra~ wh1ch l~cludes goals and programs that the Redevelopment Agency wlll use to gUlde the recovery and redevelopment efforts over the Dex~ flve years. These goals and programs prov1de gU1del1nes for the 1mplementat~on of the Plan, and may be mod1f1ed fro~ tl~e ~o ~lITe ~o best meet the needs of the cO~~illn1ty. The proposed programs 1nclude the followlng: o Repa1r and rehab1l1tate cornmerclal damaged bU1ldlngs through loans, flnanclng. and mult1-fam1ly grants and gap o Rev:tallze co~~erclal corr1dors through c1rculat1on and slgnal 1Tprovements, ar:a 1r..stallatlor. of urban des1gn lmprove~ents on p~bl1C streets and sldewalks to faclll~ate pedestrlan and veh1cular traff1c. 9 o ASS1St cOI1lI".erclal and reSldentlal property owners In maklng repa1rs and retroflttlng bUlldlngs to better protect property and Ilves through grants, loansr and educatlonal mater1als. o Expand the supply of affordable houslng through gap flnanclng LO help replace lost affordable houslng due to the earthquake. Other prograrrs may be added to the Ilst by the Agency, lncludlng publlC lmp~ovements necessary ~o carry out the goals and obJectlves of the Redevelopment Plan. Also, as requlred by State Law, not less than 20 percent of all tax lncrement reven~es shall be used by the Agency for the purpose of lncreaslng, lmprovlng and preservlng the Clty'S supply of low- and moderate-1TICOme hous~ng. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The earthquake, as a natura~ dlsaster, satlsfles the requlrements for an exemptlon. of the Redevelopment Plan from envlronmental reVlew unde~ the Dlsaster exemptlon prov1slons of ~r.e Callfornla PubI1C Resources Code SeC"L10rl 21C80. The Plan lS prlmarlly a flnanclng mechanlsm to be used to repa1r, replace and rehabllltate bUlldlngs damaged by .....' LDe earthquake, and wlll not encourage addltlonal develop~ent beyond replacement of damaged bUlldlngs. Also, the Plan 15 subJect to the p~ov1s1ons of the zonu:g and development pO~lcles of ~he Clty and all appllcable speclflc plans. BUlldlngs wlll be ~estored, ~eDa~red and replaced ln compl1ance w1th these plans. 10 ,~UDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT Over the next flve years, the loss to the general fund lS expected to be approxlmately $1,296,000. However, revenue from the Redevelopment ProJect over the next flve years lS expected to be approxlmately $9,587,962. These redevelopment funds wlll be used to expedlte the revltallzatlon of the damaged areas of the Clty, and lmprove the C1 ty' s t.ax base. This 1n turn w1ll stlmulate add1tlonal tax revenues to the Clty resultlng from lmproved economlC condltlons. Eco~omlC recovery will occur at a much faster rate wlth lmplementat10n of the Redevelopment Plan. PROCESS FOR ADOPTION I f there 18 no Opp081 tlon "'::0 the Redevelop~ent Plan after the concluslon of the 9~Dl~c hea~l~g, the ?lan may be adopted by the C1ty Councll and Redevelopment Agency through t.he actlons outllned In thlS report. If there lS Oppos1t1on, State law requlres that staff prepare responses to the Ob]ectlons and return to Councll for d1Scusslon of the lssues and posslble adoptlon at a later meetlng. The next avallable meetlng :or adoptlon of the Redevelopment Plan would be June 28, 1994. CHANGES TO REPORT TO COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Staff lS propos1ng llilnor changes to the Report to Councll whlch was provlded on June 9, 1994. The changes are for Pages 10 to 13 deallng w1th the reason why Redevelopment cannot be expected to be accornpllshed by prlvate en~erprlse ~ot actlng alone or by non-tax 11 lncrement f1nanc1ng alternat1ves. Changes lnclude updatlng lnformatlon to reflect the defeat of the State Proposltlon lA for earthquake bonds, and outllnlng the need for repalr ln more detall for the cOITmerclal dlstrlcts. Mlnor techn1cal cha~ges have also been made to the Redevelopment Plan (the Redeve2.opment Plan 18 Attachment F to the Report to Councll and 15 lncluded III the blnder) to accurately state what the attachments to the ~edevelopITent Plan include. In addlt1on, the d1agram In Exh1blt 5 to the Redevelopment Plan has been modlf1ed to accurately reflect the amount of open space to bU1ld1ng area ln the p1e chart. All of the changes desc~:bed above are reflected In the Blnder attached to th1S staff report.
