Proposed 2011 Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Desert Hot Springs Redevelopment Project

Proposed 2011 Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Desert Hot Springs Redevelopment Project

The project is a proposal by the Desert Hot Springs Redevelopment Agency to adopt an amendment adding territory to the Merged Desert Hot Springs Redevelopment Project. The proposed amendment consists of an ~1,535 acre expansion of the Existing Project Area (the "Added Territory") and removing certain qualifying parcels or groups of parcels from within the Merged Redevelopment Project and then reintegrating them into the Added Territory under a new base year an base year values. The purpose of the Project is to abate the relative stagnation and conditions of blight in each of the Added Territory, and to facilitate the continued elimination of blight in the Existing Project Area pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law. Such activities might include, but are not limited to, the following: i) provision of affordable housing; ii) construction and/or rehabilitation of structures; iii) infrastructure upgrade for wastewater, drainage, water and circulation systems; iv) economic development; and v) other improvements as permitted by the CCRL. While not proposed as specific projects at this time, these are possible activities that may be undertaken by the DHRSA within or for the benefit of the Added Territory over the 30-year effective life of the redevelopment plan.
