Honorable Chair--man and Members of the Petaluma Community
Development Gommiss"ion
From: :; ~ C>ity Stafrf
Date: June 13„ 1,9;8.8
Re': (1) Use of the. Twenty Percent (20%) Tax, Increment Revenues from
the Project Area. Included Within :the: Redevelopment Plan for the.
Petaluma Community Development Project, fo,r 9ffordable Housing
Outside the Project Area and (2) a Description of Benefits to
the Project Area
TWENTY :PERCENT C20%)' PRO.UI`STON FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The purpose of th-is memorandum is to .outline .matters relevant
for co,nsiderat~on by the' Petaluma Community Development Commission (`the
"Commission"`) in connection .with the use of: :certain tax increment
.revenues outside of, the redevelopment project area (`thee "Project Area")
subject to the Redevelopment Pawn for th'e Petaluma Gommunity.Development
Project (the "Redeye"lopment Plan") which state .law requires to be
earmarked for affordable Housing development and rehabi i;tation. In view
of the fact that there-.are relatively few residential dwellings currently
located w''thin the Project Area which will be impacted by the adoption of
'the Rede~eaopmerit Phan, it is important to consider the use of such tax
inc-cement revenues at this time..
Health and S°afe~ty Code Section 33334..2 provides that:
".'(a)' No less than 20 percent o:f all taxes which are
allocated to the agency pursuant to Section. .3'3'670
shal'1 be used by the agency for the purposes of
increasing and improving the community's supply of
low- and moderate-income housing available at
affordable lious'ing cost
•P;age.: 2
"(g) The agency' may use these funds.•inside or outside
a'~ency .and. the Te~islative body that such. use w•l-1 be
o'f benefit ;to the uro~ieet,. The: determriat<on by the
agency and the legislative body shall be final and
conclusive' a`s to the issue of benefit to the project
area. ." (emphasis added)
&ecton 33334..2'(g) further indicates that:
". ..Unless. the legislative body finds before .the
redevelopment. p an is .adopted, that the. provision of
low- and moderate=income housing outside the p"roject
area will be .of benefit to the project, the. project

FINDINGS BEFORE ADOPTION OF THE. REDEVELOPMENT .PLAN. FOR- THE PETALUMA
CONIl~IUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. •
The City of Peta'luma,, :California (the "City".), seeks t'o maintain
as much flexibility .as possli'le in connection with the imp'lementa ion of
the Redevelopment. Plan,, particularly with respec to the provisions for
affordable housing. Im ord.er to foster the type' of development within
the Project Area which would b,e of most benefit to the .long-term goals of
the City, it is. important to underscore the signif .canoe of making the
above-referenced f.nd'i_ngs regarding affordable housing prior to the
adoption o€ the Redeveloptnerit ~P;lan. Unless the City Council and the
Commission make "the: ,findings specified in Section 33334.,2 (g) prior to the
adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, the affordable housing requirement
could only be satis-fled by locating uni s constructed o.r r;ehab_ilitated
with., tax increment revenues solely wtfiin the P,roj;eet Area as required by
Sec.ti.on 33.334:2: If an: appropriate finding is made by the City Council
and the Commission. prior ao the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, such
affordable housing :may be located either witYiin or. outside the Project
Area. Accordingly,..i't i~s necessary that such a finding be made prior to
the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan -in order to maintain the desired
flexibility.
One,of the• cons,der.ations foremost in the: selection of the
boundaries of the Project Area was the need to provide for a sound basis
for future, economic development in the eommuni y.. A :map showing the
P-ro j°ect Ar-,ea' boundaries is attached 'to this memor-andum. The Pro j eca Area
a~nclud,es commercial, agricultural, manufacturing and residential land
uses within the:Ci.ty:
Although tYere, a~
Pro•j;ect Area,, some of;". th
'locat'ions and in many cap
presently beingused for

'affor;dable housing located

throughout various areas in the Project Area.
Page: 3~
-only a few- of the units' i•n ,the Prgjec;t Area need major rehabilitation
whereas a number of ~uni•ts are -n. need of minor rehabil.tati-on,. Nei-,thee
the. existing r"esideriti~'al •development regulations of the City nor the:
residential development goals and policies as outlined in the ;Petaluma
General Plan encourage a substantial amount of further- development of new
residential uses within the 'Project Area..
The ,greatest demand ,for a.ffordabl'e .new housing as well as the
rehabilitation of certain existing `housing is focused upon neighborhoods.
within the City but located outside of the P"roje¢t Area. "Therefore, the
use of a portion of the tax increment revenues o:f the Commission for
:affordable housing programs and rehabilita ion appears. to be desirable.
BENEFIT TO THE PROD"E CT .AREA.
The .Petaluma `.General Plan provides for the development of the
Project Area for. commercial and manufacturing uses gener-..ally. Although
many of the public improvements proposed in "the Redevelopment .Plan will
directly benefit the existing. residential neighborhoods within the
Project Area in which p"ersons of low and moderate income may reside, a
substantial number of persons of low and •moeerate income who reside
outside of the Pro'j'ect Area will also be affected,: By retaining the
flexibility to provide f,or~ affordable housing and ;rehabilitat-ion outside
the Project Area, the Project Area itself woul"d be beneficially
impacted. Some of the principal benefits ar-e enumerated as follows:
(1) Higher Tax :Base. The location of affordable housing
outside the Project; Area. would enab"le the type of commercial and
manufacturing-related development within the ',Proj:ect Area which would
create a higher tax base fo:r the City and thus generate more tax
increment revenues for the, Commission to:. util"ze for the necessary
public infrastructure improvements. Affordable housing traditionally
has a lower tax• base than property developed> fat :market value for
commercial or~ manufac;turng• use In addition to being an overall
benefit to the Gity as a whole., this higher tax base created by the
Project Area development has~the immediate benefit of enabling the
C 'ty to commence the necessary construction, ~ installation and
improvement of the public improvements identified in the
Redevelopment Plan.;
(2;J' Local Labor For-.:ce. The ,prow"i-s ion of affordable housng~
outside the, Project .Area will provide new housing• opportunities .for
persons who will be, employed at planes. of bus ness which shall be
developed w.iahn the Project Area at locations which are well planned
and buffered. from. incompatible uses ,on nearby pr"operty.
SPECIFI'G FINDINGS
Tle City Council and the Commission ar;e requested to make `the.
following findings prior to the adoption ;of the Redeye"lopment :Plan wh-ich
;findings are conclus~we as! to :benefits to the Project Area by providing
affordable housing either inside or outside of the Project Area.
Pag;e 4:
(1) The Project Area; contains' relatively ;few residential
dwelling. units that; will be directly aff:eated by implementation of
the Red'eveT;opment Plan. A significant number o,f the dwelling units
located:. out ide of the Project Area provider housing to persons who
need additional affordable housing oppor unities. In view of the
limited rental, assi<"stance programs available, the City will attempt
to utili=ze available redevelopment program funds ,to satisfy the needs
of lower°income households.
(2) A substantial :number of the existing dwelling units within
the City are ;in -need` o'f rehabilitation-. Many of such dwelling units
are. located outside. of the Project Area. In view of this fact, it
appears preferable. for the City, through the Commission, to utilize
the tax increment :moneys. and/or programs to p:rogde assistance for
the rehabilitation o.f such .housing 'in need of rehabilitation either
inside or outside of the Project Area where. the residents who are in
need. of such housing presently live.
(3) In view .of the fact that a significant portion of the City
presently consists of resi~,dential dwelling units' of older housing
stock, it is clear that the redevelopment of the Project Area will
not directly address either the present or future rehabilitation.
requirements associated with such older housing. The contemplated
development act',yit`es in the Project Area, wil`1 result in the
cr~'eation of many. neW employment opportuni.ti.es, :many of which w-i11
provide emp"loyment to persons who live in affordable housing
elsewhere in th_e C ~ty,. For this reason:, i<t would be highly
ad~antage.ous to "ricrease and upgrade. the p.reSent supply of affordable
housing within.thos.e :areas of the City where `such older housing stock
currently exists,.
Based upon the. oreg'o;ng considerations, ,t is apparent that the
provision of funds to .:encourage ..the .expansion; and :rehab-li•tation of
affordable housing outside the Project Area would, be, of benefit to the
Project Ar.ea:. Both tfie. Project: Area and the low- and moderate-income
residents of the City will, benefit if the Commss,i,on 'is authorized to
provide such affordable: housing outside o'f the Project Area.
RECOMMENDATION FOR .ACTION
That the C i ty Coune~i 1
findings and approve the us,e
affordable housing dev:el,opment
and. the Commission accept the foregoing
~of Commission tax increment funds for
either inside or outside the P-roject Area.

recommendations to the' Gity Council of the City of Petaluma (the "City
Council") ; and
WHEREAS, the Commission recommends that it be authorized to make
available for use either' .inside or outside the Project Area certain tax
increment revenues for affordable housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PETALUMA AS' FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City. Council hereby concurs in the Commission findings
that
a) the proposed. Project Area contains approximately Two Thousand
One Hundred Twenty-One (2, I21) resd'enfial dwelling. units of
which only a small. proportion are low and moderate income
dwelling.. units and which Tow and ,mod'erate income dwelling units,
if any, will 6e subject to_ relocation and, the Redevelopment Plan
under consideration ~ is focused upon the provision of certain
public improvements and enhancing the- long-term development
potential of the community;
b) the draft of .the ,Redevelopment Plan 'as on file with the
Commission -does not. contemplate any specific development projects
which may require any residential relocation or displacement as a
result. of community redevelopment:
c) the establs,he;d land uses within the proposed. Project Area are
industrial, commercial and residential and the anticipated uses in
the proposed- P"roject Area shall conform with said designation of
established uses;
2
88-75 NCS
~~
~~
d) the. lands included within the proposed. Project Area are blighted
arrd characterized by severe underutilization attributable to .such

area have not been able to devote their land to commercially
practical uses;
e) the Commission Staff has made. and will continue to make a
substantial. effort to disseminate information and respond to
questions from the community regarding the proposed
Redevelopment Plan. These Commission Staff efforts concerning

Redevelopment Plan and the scope of public improvement projects
contemplated therein.
