Resolution No. 91-47 also authorized the Planning Commission in conjunction with the Pa1m Desert Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") to study the feasibility and select a Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area No. 4") from within the Survey Area. The adoption of the Plan and the selection of the boundaries for Project Area No. 4 initiate the proceedings for the adoption of a Redevelopment Plan. This Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 33324 of the California Community Rodevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code, Sections 33000 g�. �gq.) which states that the Preliminary Plan should: (a} describe the boundaries of the project arc,a; (b} contain a general statement of land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities and building intensities and standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopmetrt of the project area; (c) show how the purpose of the Community Redevelopment Law would be attained by such redeveiopment; (d) show how the proposed redevelopment confornns to the general plan; (e) describe, generally, the impact of the redrvelopment project upon residents of the project area and surrounding neighborhoods. ,�,�� 1 o i .- . .

ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law are to protect and promote the sound development and redevelopment of blighted areas and the general welfare of the inhabitants of the communities in which they exist. The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be attained by redeveiopment of Project Area No. 4 and by facilitating a higher and better utilization of land thereby contributing to the public, safety and welfare. Redevelopment activities include the planning, development, replanning, redesigning, reconstruction or rehabilitation, or any combination of the foregoing, and the provision of such residential, commercial, industrial, public or other structures or space as may be appropriated or necessary in the interest of the general welfare, including recreational and other facilities. Redevelopment of Project Arca No. 4 would also attain the purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law by stimulating construction activity and increasing employment opportunities in commercial and industrial areas of Project Area No. 4 and in the City of Palm Desert. Financial assistance wautd atso be ptovided in association with the construction and reconstruction of cvrbs, gutters, sidewalks, streets, and other public improvements. Such purposes would also be attained by the attraction of residential, commercial and industrial uses to stagnant and unproductive areas, including recycling of land uses into viable and productive ases consistent with the Crenernl Plans It is further anticipated that the Agency will provide financial assistance for the developmmt of additional residential, commercial and industrial constcuction a�nd rehabilitation in a manner wh,ch wiil make such development econamically feasible. • +�.r�a.+w�+a+o+w 4 �i i . �„ 3.:SOLU'I'IOV N0. 267 � •. The selection of tfie boundaries of Project Area No. 4 was guided by the acistence of blight, as defined by the California Community Redevelopment Law, and the following facts and principles. A. The City's desire to revitalize and upgrade the residentisl, commercial, and industrial uses which are included in Project Area No. 4 in order to: increase sales and business tax revenues; improve public facilities, services, municipal services, and infrastructure; improve drainage facilities; reduce the cost of providing City services; create jobs for City residents; assure social and economic stability; and promote aesthetic and environmental actions and improvements that will make the City of Palm Desert a betta place to Gve, work, shop and enjoy leisure time.

GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT UPON _ THE Rk�IDENTS OF PROJECT AREA NO. 4 AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS The impact of the Project upon residents within Project Area No. 4 and surrounding neighborhoods outside of Project Area No. 4 will generally be in the areas of improved public utilities and services, especially municipal scrvices, improved living environment and economic activity. Redevelopment of the Project Area will provide for the improvement, modernizatian, planning, development, replanning, redesign, reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Project Area and the provision of residential, commerciai, industrial, public and other stnictures and open spaces in the interest of the general welfare. It is also anticipated that redevelopment activities orchestrated by the Agency will provide additional employment opportunities and enhance the environmentat quality of Project Area No. 4 and surrounding areas. Thus, the impact of the project upon residents of the Project Area and the surrounding neighborhood will be positive. Plan implementation activities will occur as sufficient financial resources are availab(e. Therefore, redevelopment activity is intended to be phased over a period of time, with only a limited amount of direct activity at any one time. Therefore, during redevelopment, impacts of the redevelopment project upon residents of the proposed Project Area and surrounding neighborhood will, in general, be minimal. Implementation activities will be subject to future review and approval by the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, Planting Commission and other appropriate bodies after input from af%cted residents and other interested parties. � �oeme�nv.�w.v+.� b , , : . .
