INTRODUCTION This Preliminary Plan has been prepared under the authorization of a resolution passed by the City Council of the City of La Quinta at a regular meeting held March 15, 1988. At the same above referenced meeting the Council also established a Redevelopment Survey Area. The Survey Area included specific residential and commercially zoned properties. Additionally, the Council authorized the Planning Commission to select a Project Area from within the Survey Area boundary. The selection of the Project Area and adoption of the Preliminary Plan is the first step in the Redevelopment Plan adoption process. This Preliminary Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 33324 of the California Health and Safety Code which states that the Preliminary Plan should: (a) Describe the boundaries of the Project Area; (b) Contain a general statement of land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities and building intensities and standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area; (c) Show how the purpose of the Plan would be attained by such redevelopment; (d) Show how the Plan conforms to the General Plan; (e) Describe, generally, the impact of the project upon residents of the Project Area and surrounding neighborhoods. THE PROJECT AREA LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The proposed Project Area is located in the City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California. The proposed Project Area is composed of commercially and residentially zoned properties and generally encompasses the property north of Avenue 50, between Washington and Jefferson Streets. A map of the proposed Project Area is attached as "Exhibit A". III. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED PLANNING ELEMENTS A. LAND USES a As a basis for the redevelopment of the Project area, it is generally proposed that the permitted uses be in conformance with the General Plan as it now exists or is hereafter amended. As a basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the layout of principal streets and those that will be developed in the Project Area be as shown on Exhibit "A" and the Circulation Element of the City of La Quinta General Plan as it now exists or is hereafter amended. Existing streets within the proposed Project Area may be closed, widened or otherwise modified, and additional streets may be created as necessary for proper pedestrian and/or vehicular circulation. C. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED POPULATION DENSITIES Land uses pursuant to the proposed Preliminary Plan shall be those land uses established by the City's General Plan. Population densities within the proposed Project Area shall be in accordance with the provisions of the requiring redevelopment. The Project will assist in the redevelopment of these stagnant and deteriorated areas. The selection of the boundaries of this proposed Project Area was guided by the Redevelopment Agency, Agency legal counsel, the redevelopment consultant, the existing blighting conditions present in the proposed Project Area and the following facts and principles. A. The desire of the Agency is to revitalize and upgrade the commercially and residentially zoned properties which are included in the proposed Project Area in order to: increase sales and business tax revenues; provide adequate roadways; improve public facilities, services and infrastructure; improve drainage facilities; provide adequate parking; reduce the cost of providing City services; create jobs for Area residents; assure social and economic stability; and promote aesthetic and environmental actions and improvements that will make the City of La Quinta a better place to live, work, shop and enjoy leisure time. B. The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be achieved in the Project Area through the removal or rehabilitation of physically obsolete or substandard structures and other blighting influences; the elimination of illegal or nonconforming land uses; the rehabilitation with owner participation of existing buildings; the installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other associated public improvements as permitted by the La Quinta General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; the improvement of circulation systems; the construction and/or reconstruction of drainage facilities; the replacement, installation and improvement of domestic sewage distribution systems to reduce public health and safety hazards; the assemblage of land into parcels suitable for modern integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; the improvement and provision of adequate recreation facilities; the development and redevelopment of the Project Area in a manner consistent with the policies and goals of the La Quinta General Plan, and through financing activities which will accomplish redevelopment in part by means of revenues derived under Health and Safety Code Section 33670 and tax increment financing permitted thereunder. V. CONFORMANCE TO THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY This Preliminary Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City of La Quinta. The Preliminary Plan proposes an identical pattern of land uses and includes all highways and public facilities as indicated by the General Plan. This Preliminary Plan is intended to act as a flexible conceptual guide and to continue to conform to the General Plan as it may be modified and/or implemented by future amendments and specific plans. VI. GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT UPON THE RESIDENTS The impact of the Project upon existing uses within the proposed Project Area and residences lying outside of the proposed Project Area will generally be in the areas of improved public facilities and services, improved living environment and economic development; negative impacts are not anticipated as a result of Plan implementation. Agency implementation activities will occur as sufficient financial resources are available Therefore, redevelopment activity is intended to be phased over a period of time. Implementation activities will be subject to future review and approval by the Agency, City Council, Planning Commission and other appropriate bodies after input from affected residents and other interested parties. 5 \w.
