Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33100, there exists in the city a separate public body, corporate politic, known as the redevelopment agency of the city of Temecula. The redevelopment agency of the city is activated and is authorized to function within the city and transact business and exercise all powers which may be performed or exercised by a redevelopment agency under the provisions of the Constitution of the state of California and Community Redevelopment Law of the state of California (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq., "Community Redevelopment Law").
(Ord. 91-08 § 1)
A. 
It is the desire and intent of the city council to promote sound growth, development and redevelopment of the city through:
1. 
Correction and/or elimination or substandard, insanitary, blighted and deteriorating buildings, structures and conditions within the city; and
2. 
The clearance, reconstruction, rehabilitation, conservation, with proper planning of those areas of the city where such activity is necessary or desirable; and
3. 
Encouraging and undertaking public and private improvement programs beneficial to the city and its residents.
B. 
Specific Findings.
1. 
In order to achieve the policies and goals described in this section, it is necessary, and the public interest, convenience and necessity require the redevelopment agency of Temecula to be activated and to function within the city.
2. 
Declaring the council to be the redevelopment agency of Temecula will serve the public interest and promote the public safety and welfare of the city in an effective manner.
(Ord. 91-08 § 3)
The city manager of the city shall serve as the executive director of the redevelopment agency. The city clerk of the city shall serve as the secretary of the redevelopment agency. The city attorney of the city shall serve as the general counsel of the redevelopment agency. Such officials shall have the duties and powers as specified in the community redevelopment law and as may be assigned or delegated to them by resolution of the redevelopment agency.
(Ord. 91-08 § 4)
The adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, without the performance of subsequent discretionary acts of the city council and/or the redevelopment agency which have not yet been planned, identified, formulated or defined will not have any effect on the environment within the scope of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.). In addition, the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter constitutes the reorganization of local governmental agencies and is therefore exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15320 of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code.
