adopted on June 17, 1981 (as subsequently amended, the "Gateway Plan");
WHEREAS, the City Council approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the U.S.

Camino Corridor Redevelopment Project Area (the "El Camino Project Area") by Ordinance No.
1132-93 adopted on June 9, 1993 (as subsequently amended, the "El Camino Plan");
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of South San Francisco ("Agency")
is vested with responsibility to carry out the foregoing redevelopment plans in accordance with
Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) ("CRL"),
including the construction and installation of public improvements consistent with
Redevelopment Plans;
WHEREAS, the Agency desires to undertake a minor rehabilitation of City-owned
property at 109 Longford Avenue to create a "Green" Model Home ("Public Improvements") that
promotes housing affordability through energy efficiency;
WHEREAS, CRL Section 33445 provides that a redevelopment agency may, with the
consent of the legislative body of the benefited public entity, pay for the cost of buildings,
facilities and other improvements which are publicly owned if the legislative body and the
agency determine all of the following:
1. The buildings, facilities or improvements are of benefit to the project area or the
immediately surrounding neighborhood;
2. No other reasonable means of financing the buildings, facilities or improvements
are available; and
3. The payment of funds for the acquisition of land or the cost of buildings, facilities
or other improvements will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside
the project area or provide housing for low- or moderate-income persons, and will be consistent
with the implementation plan adopted by the redevelopment agency.
WHEREAS, the rehabilitation of the subject property and installation of the Public
Improvements will: (i) benefit the all Project Areas by facilitating the provision of services to
and energy efficiency for residents of the Project Area s, (ii) temporarily create a viable resource
and space for residents of the Project Areas and surrounding neighborhoods, and (iii) enable the
Green Model Home to serve as a magnet for visitors who patronize surrounding businesses,
including those in the Project Areas, thereby promoting economic development within the
Project Areas;
WHEREAS, the private sector shall contribute a portion of the total cost of the Public
Improvements, but the Agency has determined that use of tax increment revenues is necessary
because there are insufficient funds reasonably available to fund the entire cost of the Public
Improvements, as revenue that might otherwise be available for such purposes is committed for
other purposes;
WHEREAS, the Public Improvements will not only help to eliminate physical blighting
conditions, but will also promote economic development opportunities and facilitate private
investment in the Project Areas which will lead to further blight alleviation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Redevelopment Agency of the City
of South San Francisco hereby:
1. Finds, based upon the foregoing Recitals, that (i) the expenditure of tax increment funds
to undertake the Public Improvements will be of benefit to all Project Areas; (ii) no other
reasonable means of financing the public improvements is reasonably available; (iii) completion
of the Public Improvements will assist in the elimination of blighting conditions in the Project
Areas; and (iv) completion of the Public Improvements is consistent with the Implementation
Plans adopted for the Project Areas.
2. The Agency is authorized to expend $40,000 in tax increment funds for the Public
Improvements described herein.
3. Authorizes the Agency Executive Director or his designee to execute and deliver such
other instruments and to take such other action as necessary to carry out the intent of this
Resolution.
