On May 24,
1994, the Redevelopment Agency ar.d Cl~y Councll recoTIL~ended a JOlnt

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

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

collected WhlCh :.s attrlbutable to the lncrease ln assessed
valuatlon of property located wlthln the boundarles of the

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).

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.

,~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.
