Re: Mt. Vernon Corridor
Redevelopment Plan
Honorable Members:
This letter is submitted to you as members of the governing bodies considering the
subject redevelopment plan for adoption at the public hearing scheduled for June
11,1990. The following objections are made by the County Administrative Office to
the referenced redevelopment plan.
Section 33367, Health and Safety Code, State of California, mandates that the
ordinance adopting a rede'!elopment plan include certain findings and
determinations. The legislature intended that the Redevelopment
Agency/governing body have before it clear, specific and substantial evidence and
documentation substantiatin~ its findings. Minimum documentation and
perfunctory reference to provisions of the enabling legislation is insufficient. In
general, the findings contained in the ordinance are not based on substantial
evidence.. The following are specific objections ofthe County:
1. . Neither the plan, the EIR, the Preliminary Report nor the supplementary
material adequately supports the conclusion that the entirety of the project
area is blighted and requires the use of redevelopment authority to achieve
the public purposes declared in the redevelopment law. Large tracts of land
owned by the Flood Control District and lying within the flood plain are
included within the proposed project boundary. No documentation is
included in the plan documents to establish a condition of bliQht on that
land nor do the plan documents indicate specific benefits to said property
which would result from project activities.
2. No substantial and specific evidence or documentation is provided to
support a finding that. the redevelopment plan would redevelop the area in
the interest of the public peace, health, safety and welfare.
3. Neither narrative information, financial plans, or budgets are included in
the plan or supporting material to support any finding that adoption and
carrying out of the plan is economically sound and feasible.

PLAN

Page Two
4. Substantial evidence is not provided to sustain the finding that the
redevelopment plan conforms t~ the general plan of the city. The plan's
finding appears to be bas~ solely on the undocumented assertion in the
plan that its implementation will be in accordance with the general plan
and zoning ordinances as may be amended from time to time.
5. No substantial evidence or documentation specific to the area proposed for
redevelopment is supplied to warrant the conclusion that carrying out the
redevelopment plan would promote the public peace, health, safety and
welfare of the community.
6. The plan and related material contains only minimum reference to the role
that condemnation of real property will play in project implementation.
Insufficient evidence and documentation are included to support the
finding that condemnation is necessary to the execution of the plan.
Further, the plan lacks substantial evidence, or any evidence at all, to
warrant the conclusion that adequate provisions have been made for
payment for property so acquired.
7. Neither the plan nor supporting documents provide sufficient evidence to
conclude that a feasible plan exists for the temporary or permanent
relocation of facilities and persons displaced from the project area. The
redevelopment plan, in fact, indicC'tes that such a relocation plan does not
yet exist but is to be prepared.
8. No evidence is provided that there are or are being provided in the project
area or in other areas not {lenerally less desirable in regard to public utilities
and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons displaced from the project area,
decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the numbers of and
available to the displaced families and persons, and reasonably accessible to
their places of employment. The proposal set forth in the plan to evaluate
this problem after adoption of the plan is legally inadequate.
9. Neither the plan nor supporting documents includes substantial evidence or
documentation that the non contiguous portions of the project (shown as
sub-area B and sub-area C) are either blighted or necessary for effective
redevelopment and are not included for the purpose of obtaining tax
increment without other substantial justification for their inclusion.
10. Insufficient information is included in the plan and supporting material to
justify inclusion of all of the properties in the plan. The project area
includes many lands, buildings and improvements that are not detrimental
to the public health, safety or welfare. Only generalized information is
provided to support the conclusion that all properties included in the
project boundary are necessary for effective redevelopment. A substantial
number of properties have apparently been included solely to obtain the
allocation of tax increment and not because they are a detriment to the
public health, safety or welfare or necessary for effective redevelopment.

opportunity to present thi. information and our concerna.
The Office of San B.rnardino County Superintendent of School. ie
charged with the r..ponsibility of prov1ding school-ag_ cithens
and achool districts with a wide range of .ervice.. The types of
educationa' programs conducted by the county ,up.rintendent are
generally for "low-incidence" studenta, such as blind or mentally
handicapped individuals. The.e students mu.t be gathered from a
large, or regional population base 1n order to generate
.ufficient number. of .tudents to form a cl.... Other areas of
county office responsibility include buslne.s. financial, and

A major probleM faced by the county .uperi~tendent i. the need to
provide cla.arooma and other fac1litie. for th... pro~rama
because the State of California provides no allowance for moat of
them. Alao, a. you are aware, the county euperintendent doe. not
have the ability to collect developer f.... a. do Bchool

Aa you know, our portion of the tax ba.e of the project area 1.
only .e.. However, we are still greatly concerned about the
erosion of our tax baae WhiCh, of course, extends throughout the
entire county.
The material you have provided to date, regarding the Mt. Vernon
Corridor Redevelopment Project, has be.n carefully reviewed and
we have concluded that th're will be an impact on the Office of
the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. The
inevitable new development, home., job., and the resulting
student., mu.t be accommodated.
For the.e rea.ons, we mu.t regi.ter this Objection to the
redevelopment project a. it 1. now pre.ented because of the
.evere financial detriment we would experience.
