AGENCY MAKING THE FINDING REQUIRED BY HEALTH
AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 33413(bIl2Ilv) AND
CONFIRMING AND RATIFYING THE AGENCY'S
AGGREGATION OF NEW AND SUBSTANTIALLY
REHABILITATED DWELLING UNITS IN LA QUINTA'S TWO
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CALCULATING THE AGENCY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 33413(bIl2)
WHEREAS, by previous action the La Ouinta Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") and the City Council of the City of La Ouinta ("City" or "City Council," as
applicable), established Project Area No.1 and Project Area No.2 as La Ouinta's two
Redevelopment Project Area (collectively, the "Project Areas"); and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2) requires the
Agency to insure that not less than 15% of all new or substantially rehabilitated
dwelling units developed within a redevelopment project area by public or private
persons or entities other than the Agency are made available at affordable housing cost
to persons and families of low, and moderate income, with not less than 40% of such
15% (i.e., 6% of the total) made available to persons and families of very low income;
and
WHEREAS, the foregoing obligation of Health and Safety Code Section
33413{b)(2) is known as the Agency's "Inclusionary Housing Requirement;" and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(v) authorizes
the Agency to aggregate new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units in the Project
Areas when calculating the Agency's Inclusionary Housing Requirement, rather than
calculating the Inclusionary Housing Requirement separately for each of Project Area
No.1 and for Project Area No.2, provided that first the Agency hold a Public Hearing
and following such Public Hearing find that the aggregation of the Project Areas for the
purpose of calculating the Inclusionary Housing Requirement will not exacerbate racial,
ethnic, or economic segregation; and
WHEREAS, notice of a Public Hearing of the Agency for the purposes set
forth above was given in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2000, the Agency held the duly noticed
Public Hearing on the aggregation of the Project Areas for the limited purpose of
aggregating new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units in the Project when
calculating the Agency's Inclusionary Housing Requirement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the La Ouinta Redevelopment Agency hereby resolves
as follows:
SECTION 1. The Agency findings and determines:
A. Notice of the Agency's Public Hearing on the matter described in this
Resolution was given in accordance with applicable law and that all proceedings
concerning this matter have been taken in accordance with applicable law.
B. The aggregation of new and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units in
the Project Areas will not cause or exacerbate racial, ethnic, or economic segregation,
in that (i) the Project Areas are adjacent and contiguous; (ii) through streets serve both
Project Areas and thus enable easy access to, and traversing of, the Project Areas; (iii)
the goals and objectives of both Project Areas include the provision of affordable
housing for very low, low, and moderate income persons and families; (iv) the
Agency's adopted Implementation Plans for 1995-2000 and for 2000-2005 confirm
the Agency's efforts in improving, increasing, and preserving affordable housing on
sites in each of the Project Area; (v) the Agency shall obligate purchasers and lessees
of real property acquired from the Agency in the Project Areas to refrain from
restricting the sale or rental of that real property in the Project Areas on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, or national origin, pursuant to Health
and Safety Code Section 33435 and the requirements of the City's Housing Element;
and (vi) development sites for market rate and affordable housing exist in both Project
Areas but aggregation of the Project Areas for the limited purpose of calculating the
Agency's Inclusionary Housing Requirement will result in an increased ability of the
Agency to meet the Inclusionary Housing Requirement as described in the Agency's
adopted Implementation Plan for 2000-2005, including by providing the Agency with
flexibility in locating affordable housing units and in expending available monies in the
Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.
C. Based on the foregoing findings, the aggregation of new and substantially
rehabilitated dwelling units in the Project Areas will benefit both Project Areas and will
effectuate the purposes of the Redevelopment Plans that established the Project Areas,
in that the goals and objectives of both Project Areas include the provision of
affordable housing for very low, low, and moderate income persons and families.
SECTION 2. The Agency hereby approves of the aggregation of new and substantially
rehabilitated dwelling units in the Project Areas for the purpose of calculating the
Agency's Inclusionary Housing and the Agency ratifies and confirms the Agency's
previous aggregation of the Project Areas for this purpose.
