Reaffirm the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council as an organization

Redevelopment Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On February 7, 1989, by Resolution No. 89/80 , the Board of
Supervisors designated the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council as an
organization with which the Contra Costa County Redevelopment
Agency will consult and obtain advice from during the process of
adopting the Oakley Redevelopment Plan. This was accomplished in
recognition of the fact that ( 1 ) the Oakley Redevelopment Plan will
not displace a substantial number of low and moderate income
families, thus not requiring the creation of a Project Area
Committee; and ( 2) the Agency is required to consult with and
obtain the advice of residents and community organizations.
As stated in the Staff Report, the Oakley Municipal Advisory
Council is made up of residents and business persons in the Project
Area. Thus, it is appropriate that it be an organization with
which to consult and obtain advice from during the redevelopment
plan adoption process.

Staff Report Regarding Affirmation of the
Oakley Municipal Advisory Council
as an Organization with which to Consult
during the process of
Adopting the Oakley Redevelopment Plan
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33385, prior to adopting a
redevelopment plan, the Board of Supervisors must either call for the formation
of a Project Area Committee or the Agency must consult with the community
regarding the proposed redevelopment plan. The formation of a project area
committee is only required if implementation of the proposed redevelopment plan
will displace a substantial number of low and moderate income people. Agency
staff has determined that the Oakley Redevelopment Project will not displace a
substantial number of low and moderate income people. Thus, staff is
recommending that the Board of Supervisors find that the formation of a project
area committee is not required and direct the Redevelopment Agency to consult
with the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council regarding the adoption of the
proposed Oakley Redevelopment Plan.
Staff's recommendation that formation of a project area committee is not
necessary is based on the project activities proposed to be carried out as part
of the redevelopment project. Pursuant to the Draft Work Program prepared by
staff regarding the Oakley Redevelopment Plan, the projects proposed to be
undertaken will not displace a substantial number, if any, of low and moderate
income people.
The Agency is proposing various traffic improvements designed to ease traffic
congestion in the project area. The traffic improvements are located primarily
along State Route 4 and are not expected to cause elimination of any residential
structures. Additionally, the Agency is -•proposing a variety of public
improvements for the project area, including providing assistance to the school
systems in order to provide day care services, financial assistance toward the
development of a new park in the project area and financial assistance toward
the development of new government facilities in the project area. The Agency's
plans for these improvements are not definite, but at the current time the
Agency foresees siting any such improvements on vacant land located within the
project area, as part of an infill development program, or as replacement
facilities for similarly used structures.
The Agency's other programs include a drainage improvement program, which will
merely upgrade existing drainage improvements, and commercial and industrial
development assistance, including land acquisition assistance. The land
acquisition assistance will be limited to land already zoned industrial and
commercial and is not expected to involve any land currently used for
residential purposes. Finally, the Agency is proposing a housing rehabilitation
and new housing construction program. The housing rehabilitation program will
assist current residents in upgrading their property. The new construction
program will be limited to infill development sites and will not eliminate
existing residential structures.
For these reasons, the Agency has determined that formation of a project area
committee is not necessary. Rather, the Agency will consult and seek the advice
of the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council , which is composed of residents and
business persons from the Oakley area.
