§ 33363 Redevelopment Plan Objection Process

Key Takeaways

  • •Before approving a redevelopment plan, the government must listen to people's complaints in writing or in person.
  • •They have to read reports and look at all the evidence before making a decision.
  • •If someone who owns property or pays taxes writes a complaint, the government must write back explaining their decision.
  • •The government can't just say 'no' without giving a good reason—they have to explain why.

Example

Imagine your neighborhood is getting redeveloped, and you don’t like the plan because it might make traffic worse. You write a letter to the city council explaining your concerns.

The city council must read your letter, listen to what you say at the meeting, and write back to you explaining why they agree or disagree with your concerns. They can’t just ignore you—they have to give real reasons for their decision.

§ 33363 Redevelopment Plan Objection Process

At the hour set in the notice required by Section 33361 for hearing objections, the legislative body shall proceed to hear all written and oral objections. Before adopting the redevelopment plan the legislative body shall evaluate the report of the agency, the report and recommendation of the project area committee, and all evidence and testimony for and against the adoption of the plan and shall make written findings in response to each written objection of an affected property owner or taxing entity. The legislative body shall respond in writing to the written objections received before or at the noticed hearing, including any extensions thereof, and may additionally respond to written objections that are received after the hearing. The written responses shall describe the disposition of the issues raised. The legislative body shall address the written objections in detail, giving reasons for not accepting specified objections and suggestions. The legislative body shall include a good-faith, reasoned analysis in its response and, for this purpose, conclusionary statements unsupported by factual information shall not suffice. (Amended by Stats. 1988, Ch. 1510, Sec. 3.)
