SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RULES GOVERNING PARTICIPATION
AND PREFERENCES
By
OWNERS, OPERATORS OF BUSINESSES, AND TENANTS
In The
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Section 1 - GENERAL.
These rules are promulgated to implement the provisions of the Redevelopment
Plan for the San Juan Capistrano Central Redevelopment Project regarding
participation and the exercise of preference by owners, operators of business, and
tenants in the Project. These Rules set forth the procedures governing such
participation.
Participation is desired in the growth and development of the Project area by as
many industrial and commercial owners, operators of business and tenants as possible.
The Agency shall extend preferences to persons who are owners and tenants in the
Project area, to continue in or, if the Agency acquires the land of an owner of the land
on which a tenant is located, to re-enter the Project area if any such owner or tenant
otherwise meets the requirements prescribed in the Redevelopment Plan and in these
Rules.
The Agency is also authorized to permit persons who are owners of business and
other types of real property in the Project area to be given the opportunity to
participate in the redevelopment of the Project area by retaining, and if necessary
rehabilitating, all or a portion of their properties, by acquiring adjacent or other
properties in the Project area, by selling their properties to the Agency and purchasing
other properties in the Project area or by selling improvements to the Agency and
redeveloping their property. Participation opportunities shall necessarily be subject to
and limited by such factors as the following:
1. Removal, relocation and/or installation of public utilities and public
facilities.
2. The elimination and changing of some land uses.
3. The realignment, abandonment, widening or opening of public rights-
of-way.
4. The ability of owners to finance acquisition and development in
accordance with the Plan.
5. Any reduction in the total number of individual parcels in the Project
area.
6. The assembly and development of areas for public and/or private
development in accordance with the Plan.
If conflicts develop between the desires of participants for particular sites or
land uses, the Agency is authorized to establish reasonable priorities and preferences
among the owners and tenants and to determine a solution by consideration of such
factors as length of time in the area; accommodation of as many participants as
possible; ability to _perform; similar land use to similar land use; conformity with
intent and purpose of the Plan. Participation to the extent feasible shall be available
for two or more persons, firms or institutions, to join together in partnerships,
corporations, or other joint entities.
Section II -TYPES OF PARTICIPATION .
Participation includes remaining in substantially the same location either by
retaining all or portions of the property, or by retaining all or portions of the property
and purchasing adjacent property from the Agency. An owner who participates in the
same location may be required to rehabilitate or demolish all or part of his existing
buildings or the Agency may acquire the buildings only and then remove or demolish
the buildings. Participation also includes the Agency buying land and improvements at
fair market value from existing owners, and offering other parcels for purchase by
such participants. Participation also includes business tenants obtaining preferences
to re-enter the Project area.
Section III - PARTICIPATION PROCEDURE.
A. Certificates of Conformance.
The Project area contains many parcels of real property. As a result there is a
need to simplify the availability of participation opportunities. Therefore, as an
alternative to requiring a participation agreement for each property not to be
purchased or subject to Agency acquisition by eminent domain, the Agency is
authorized to make determinations of those properties which conform to the
Redevelopment Plan. If such a determination is made by the Agency then the property
will not be subject to eminent domain by the Agency so long as the property continues
to conform to the Redevelopment Plan, and to such further terms and conditions as
the Agency may require as necessary to carry out the Plan, as stated in the
Certificate of Conformance. The Agency shall in good faith review the property
contained in the Project area and issue Certificates of Conformance to qualifying
properties as soon as possible consistent with the redevelopment permitted by the Plan
and specific designs for development adopted by the Agency pursuant to the Plan.
B. Participation Agreements.
The Agency is authorized to enter into participation agreements regarding
properties not purchased or not to be purchased by the Agency and not included in an
Agency Certificate of Conformance. Each agreement will contain provisions
necessary to insure that the participation proposal will be carried out, and that the
subject property will be developed or used in accordance with the conditions,
restrictions, rules and regulations of the Redevelopment Plan and the agreement.

Each agreement will require the participant to join in the recordation of such
documents as the Agency may require in order to insure such development and use.
Participation agreements will be effective only if approved by the Members of
the Agency.
C. Statements of Interest.
Before making offers to purchase property in the Project area, the Agency shall
notify the owners of any such properties by certified mail, return receipt requested
that the Agency is considering the acquisition of such property. The Agency shall
include a form entitled "Statement of Interest In Participating" with the notification.
Within 30 days of receipt of such notification any owner interested in participating in
the Project area, shall file a "Statement of Interest in Participating."
The Agency may disregard any Statements received after such 30 -day period.
Any owner or tenant may also submit such a statement at any time before such
notification.
The Agency shall consider such Statements as are submitted on time and seek to
develop reasonable participation for those submitting such statements whether to stay
in place, to move to another location, to obtain preferences to re-enter the Project
area, etc.
Section IV - ENFORCEMENT.
In the event a property is not developed or used in conformance with the
Redevelopment Plan, and with a certificate of conformance, or a participation
agreement, then the Agency is authorized to (1) purchase the property, (2) purchase
any interest in the property sufficient to obtain conformance, or (3) take any other
appropriate action sufficient to obtain such conformance.
Section V - AMENDMENTS OF OWNER PARTICIPATION RULES.
The Agency may amend these Rules at any meeting held after their adoption.
