The Redevelopment Plan and Project Area

Assembly Bill AB 1290, also known as the Community Redevelopment Law Reform Act of 1993, effective January 1, 1994, enacted numerous revisions to the California Community Redevelopment Law including a requirement for the adoption of an implementation plan.  The California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section 33490 now requires that each redevelopment agency adopt an implementation plan prior to December 31, 1994 and every fifth year thereafter for the redevelopment project area. 

The objective of the Redevelopment Plan is to eliminate such conditions of blight by providing needed public improvements, encouraging rehabilitation and repair of deteriorated structures, facilitating land assembly and development which will result in employment opportunities and an expanded tax base; and by promoting development in accordance with applicable land use controls

Goals of the Redevelopment Plan Include:

• Provide a broad range of public infrastructure improvements to induce
   private investment

• Enhance the public safety and welfare by providing improved community 
   service

• Promote the preservation and enchantment of Old Town Temecula

• Promote the expansion of the industrial, commercial and job market
   economies

• Preserve, improve and expand housing opportunities for low- and-moderate
   income families

Redevelopment Project Areas:

These areas can contain blighted conditions such as abandoned buildings, limited affordable housing opportunities, and empty parcels,  Areas of blight have social, economic, physical, and environmental liabilities that can limit growth.
