SUBJECT: Resolution Receiving the Draft Redevelopment Plan for the Diamond Bar
Economic Revitalization Area, and Authorizing Transmittal of the
Proposed Redevelopment Plan to Affected Taxing Agencies, and Persons
and Organizations within the Project Area and Submittal to the Planning
Commission for Report and Recommendation
—1 C-rWa4yt
Recommendation:
That the Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency adopt a resolution receiving the draft
Redevelopment Plan for the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area, and
authorizing transmittal of the proposed Redevelopment Plan.
Background:
The Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency has undertaken proceedings for the adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan for the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area ("Redevelopment
Plan"). On November 19, 1996, the Agency adopted Resolution No. R-96-09, approving the
selection of the area within the boundaries of the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area
("Project Area") and the Preliminary Plan for the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area
("Project"). The adoption of this Resolution also directed -the preparation of a redevelopment
plan for the Project and the noticing of affected taxing agencies of the proposed adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan and Project Area.
The Redevelopment Plan is based on the Preliminary Plan, approved by the Diamond Bar
Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") on November 19, 1996, and provides a framework of
goals, powers, duties, and obligations to implement the redevelopment program. Generally,
the Redevelopment Plan also allows the Agency to collect tax increment revenues to construct
needed public improvements, acquire property for sale and lease, fund affordable housing, and
generally rehabilitate and improve the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area.
Draft Redevelopment Plan
Page 2
The Redevelopment Plan is essentially a legal document (rather than a "plan") that sets forth the
Agency's goals, powers, duties, and obligations to implement the redevelopment program within
the Project Area. This is underscored by the language in paragraph two on page one, which
describes the Redevelopment Plan as presenting a process and framework within which specific
development plans will be presented, priorities for specific projects will be established, and
specific solutions will be proposed, and by which tools are provided to the Agency to fashion,
develop, and proceed with such specific plans, -projects and solutions.
More specifically, the Redevelopment Plan provides a framework which allows the Agency to:
1) assist in implementing the policies, goals, objectives and strategies as presented in
the General Plan of the City of Diamond Bar; 2) fund property rehabilitation programs; 3)
construct public facility and infrastructure improvements (such as those shown in Exhibit C to
the Redevelopment Plan); 4) provide for affordable housing opportunities in conjunction with the
City's Housing Element; 5) acquire property for sale or lease within the Project Area; 6) collect
tax increment to fund rehabilitation programs, public improvements, and other Agency activities;
and 7) sell bonds to fund, in whole or in part, rehabilitation programs, public improvements, and
other Agency activities. � The Redevelopment Plan will remain in effect for 30 years and the
Agency will have the ability to collect tax increment revenues for 15 additional years after that
point (for a total of 45 years), provided that debt service payments on outstanding bonds are
required after the 30 year term of the Redevelopment Planhas•*ekpired. The draft
Redevelopment Plan is being reviewed by the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee:
The final Redevelopment Plan will be considered for approval by the City Council at the
joint City Council / Redevelopment' Agency public hearing scheduled for May 20, 1997.

SUMMARY
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT ADOPTION PROCESS
WHAT IS REDEVELOPMENT?
Redevelopment is a process by which a city or county can improve certain areas of the community.
Redevelopment is used to promote private development, and to improve streets, utility systems,
drainage facilities, parks, public buildings, and schools. Redevelopment is also used to promote
housing affordable to low and moderate income families. Redevelopment can provide money to
areas of need in the community.

A variety of documents are prepared as part of the project adoption process to guide the Agency as
it implements the redevelopment program. These documents are listed below.
Preliminary Plan
The Preliminary Plan is a brief document that outlines the basic concept for redevelopment of the
Project Area. The Preliminary Plan describes the boundaries of the Project Area, and contains a
general statement of the land uses, the layout of principal streets, population densities, and
building intensities and standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area.
Project Area Map
The Project Area map outlines the boundaries of the Project Area. The boundaries are selected
because problem conditions exist within these areas. It is within these boundaries that the Agency
can use its redevelopment authority and collect tax increment revenue.
Redevelopment Plan
The purpose of the Redevelopment Plan is to establish the Agency's powers, authority and
responsibilities as it carries out redevelopment in the Project Area. The Plan also outlines the
boundaries of the Project Area and contains a general list of the projects and programs the Agency
may implement to improve the Project Area. The Redevelopment Plan is the most important
document the Agency prepares.
Preliminary Report
The Preliminary Report is prepared for the taxing agencies which levy taxes in the Project Area.

REDEVELOPMENT WILL NOT INCREASE TAXES
Redevelopment Agencies do not have the authority to
levy taxes, fees or assessments on property in a
Redevelopment Project Area. Tax Increment is the
primary source of revenue Redevelopment Agencies
have to spend on redevelopment projects. In short, tax
increment is the difference between the property tax
revenue generated now and the property tax revenue
anticipated in the future. This difference, or increment,
is retained by the Redevelopment Agency.
Increases in property taxes are determined by
Proposition 13, not the Redevelopment Agency.
Proposition 13 set a statewide formula which states that
your property taxes will equal 1 % of the assessed value
of your property. The assessed value is set by the
County Assessor when property is sold or new
construction is completed.
Proposition 13 also states that if your property is not
improved or sold, its assessed value can only be
increased by up to 2% a year. However, if your property
is improved or sold, then it is reassessed up to the sales
price of the property or up the total of the current
assessed value plus the value of the improvements.
Then, you (or the new owner) are taxed 1 % of the new
assessed value of the property.
TAX INCREMENT BONDS
Redevelopment Agencies issue tax increment bonds to
finance most of the projects contained within their
Redevelopment Plan. The principal and interest
payments for these bonds are paid from the tax
increment revenue generated in the Project Area. The
Agency may issue long term bonds. These bonds
typically last from 10-30 years and the principal and
interest are paid by the Agency for the life of the bond.
Additionally, agencies may issue short-term notes
whose term typically last from five to seven years.
These bonds are solely the responsibility of the Agency
and not the City.

HOW TAX INCREMENT IS GENERATED
When a Redevelopment Project Area is adopted, the
current assessed value of all the property within the
Project Area is added up. The total figure is called the
Base Year Value. As property is improved or resold, the
assessed value increases in accordance with the
limitations established by Proposition 13. The property
tax revenue generated by the valuation increase (above
the Base Year Value) is called tax increment revenue.
The tax increment revenue is what is distributed to the
Redevelopment Agency.
For example, Mrs. Smith owns property valued at
$100,000 this year, and her taxes paid at the rate of 1%
would be $1,000. Mrs. Smith sells her property to Mr.
Roberts at the price of $500,000. The taxes paid by Mr.
Roberts at the same 1% rate would be $5,000. The
difference between $1,000 and $5,000, or $4,000, is
called tax increment. These funds are distributed to the
Redevelopment Agency for reinvestment in the Project
Area.
Above is a picture of how tax increment works
PARTICIPATION OF OTHER TAXING AGENCIES
Redevelopment programs are funded through
redirecting future property tax revenue to the
Redevelopment Agency. This revenue would otherwise
flow to other taxing agencies. The taxing agencies
include the county, water and fire districts and schools.
Because of this, the Redevelopment Law requires the
Redevelopment Agency to pass through to each taxing
entity a portion of the tax increment. The amount paid
to the taxing entities increases over time.
Redevelopment agencies are also required to allocate
20% of the Project Area Tax Increment to a Housing
Fund. These funds must be used to expand and
preserve the supply of low and moderate income
housing.
