By Resolution No. 4806, dated October 14, 1985, the Redevelopment Agency was established as the Zone Management Office for the Enterprise Zone. In order to properly qualify applicants and to identify the sites and incentives for each project, the Enterprise Zone Procedures & Qualification Form has been created. Recently, the procedures and form were the subject and inquiry about an appeal procedure. The recommended procedure is to direct all applicants whose projects fall within the Enterprise Zone to the Redevelopment Agency to be "qualified" for the benefits/incentives associated with each sub area. If a project does not qualify for said benefits, a procedure for appeal has been established. At the meeting of May 19, 1986 Councilman Marks suggested certain changes to the Procedures and Qualif1caton Form. The changes are annotated as "changes" on the attached copies of Procedure and Qualification form. Staff recommends approval of the Qualification Form and Procedures as attached hereto. ..r- '- . - '-" 972GI JW 6/02/86 75-0264 ,-- '- ~ '-- ~ '- STP CITY OF AN BERNARDINO ADMINISTRA T1VE PROCEDURE STEPS TO PROMOTE aU."ECT: ENTERPRISE ZONE PROCEDURE I.
