FISCAL IMPACT The adoption of AB 315 could substantially impair 'the.°abiaity�•,,of? the, County Redevelopment Agency to realize its redevelopment and`'firian'cia1 goals. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AB 315 would require, effective: January 1, 1992, all Redevelopment Agencies to allocate 50% of their annual tax increment revenue to increasing, improving or preserving the supply of low and moderate income housing. There would be only one category exception: Agencies in cities where the regional fair share of affordable housing allocation has already been met. In such a case, the new set-aside r would be 40% rather than 50%. Ab 315 applies to all current project areas and all project areas adopted after the effective date of the bill.

March 12, 1991 County Counsel PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF County Housing Authority THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS California Redevelopment Assn. OUNT MINISTRATOR (via Redevelopment Agency) SRA12/jb/ab315.bos BY 4 4a DEPUTY Your Board has been a strong and consistent supporter of actions which affirmatively address affordable housing needs. Nevertheless, this bill would further affordable housing activities at a substantial cost to current and planned redevelopment activities and obligations. The Agency would experience significant cash flow shortages that would either delay or kill highly desirable projects. Without commercial renewal in project areas, little or no tax increment is likely to be generated for affordable housing assistance. AB 315 is ultimately self-defeating. l l
