BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Lakeport Redevelopment Agency was formed by the Lakeport City Council in 1986. The City

Council formed the Agency, and the Council Members serve as the Redevelopment Board of

Directors. The Agency was formed, in accordance with State law, to respond to blight conditions

within the Project Area.

The Lakeport Redevelopment Project Area is 612 acres which represents 35% of the Lakeport City

limits. The Project Area is the heart of the community and covers the oldest developed parts of the

City, including the downtown core, and numerous late 19 th and early 20th century residential

subdivisions. Early land development activity within the Project Area took place in the late 1800s.

The areas near the lake along Main and Forbes Streets and on the east/west streets near downtown were the first to develop. There are many older buildings in the Project Area that require repair and

revitalization, and there is a need to upgrade public facilities and infrastructure as well.

The downtown area of Lakeport is a key part of the Lakeport Redevelopment Project Area.

Downtown Lakeport is the historic commercial core of the community and has a traditional late

19th century appearance and feel. Main Street, which used to serve as a state highway, is the key

north/south surface street through Lakeport and extends through the center of downtown Lakeport

just two blocks west of the Clear Lake shoreline. Downtown Lakeport is closely linked to Clear

Lake and there is an intent to strengthen and improve this area through the use of enhanced land

use patterns, pedestrian circulation, landscaping, lighting, architectural design, quality open spaces,and other urban design techniques.

The California Redevelopment Law grants various powers to Redevelopment Agencies to address

blight conditions. Blight reduction is the legal basis for Redevelopment, and there are many City

activities that overlay with and benefit from the use of Redevelopment authority.

Redevelopment is an important tool for achieving public goals that are set forth in the Lakeport

General Plan. Redevelopment also fosters economic development activities and helps the City

revitalize the community, encourage new development, create jobs, and generate greater tax

revenues, including sales taxes, at no additional cost to property owners. Redevelopment directs

more money overall to help finance public infrastructure and other community needs.

Redevelopment Agencies have two key tools at their disposal. One is tax increment financing.

Redevelopment Agencies can also help make a private project viable by subsidizing certain

components of a project such as land acquisition or project infrastructure. The other key tool

enabled by Redevelopment is land assembly. There are various approaches that an Agency can take

to assemble land thereby making development projects more viable. The preferred approach is

working with property owners in mutually beneficial negotiation. Eminent domain, the ability to

compel a property owner to sell their property for the fair market value, is another approach, and it

is becoming less frequently used. The Lakeport Redevelopment Plan does not provide for (allow)

the use of eminent domain.





REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA MAP





PERSONNEL

The Lakeport Redevelopment Agency is a separate legal entity from the City; however, it is staffed

by City employees assigned to carry out its purpose and the goals and objectives of its governing

body, the Agency Board of Directors. This is done through an agreement between the Agency and

the City, whereby the Agency compensates the City for use of its employees. For budgeting and

operating purposes, the City considers the Agency as a de facto department within it.

KEY STAFF BIOS

Margaret Silveira – City Manager – Redevelopment Executive Director

Margaret joined the City in April of 2010. As part of her role as City Manager, she is the Executive

Director for the Agency, overseeing general policy implementation. Margaret has considerable local

government experience, including a three year tenure as the city manager for the City of Gustine and

over eight years as the Director of Housing and Economic Development in the City of Riverbank in

the California Central Valley. Her background includes work with planning and community

development issues, as well as issues related to redevelopment and economic development.

Richard Knoll – Community Development Director

Richard has been with the City of Lakeport since 1986. Richard is the department head responsiblefor carrying out the Agency’s goals, objectives, and projects, as well as overseeing day-to-day

operations. In addition to overseeing the Community Development Department (CDD), which

houses Building and Planning divisions, he has responsibility for Redevelopment, Housing, and

Economic Development activities as well.

Richard is a seasoned local government professional with over 32 years of planning, community

development, and redevelopment experience in various local government agencies in California and

Oregon.

Trisha Franco – Housing Specialist

Trisha began her career with the City of Lakeport in 1994 as a secretary working in the Community

Development Department. In 2008, she was assigned the position of Housing Specialist to

administer an $800,000 HOME grant for first-time homebuyers and owner-occupied rehabilitation

projects, and to continue working the existing CDBG and RDA housing funds. Since that time, the

City has received an additional $1.2 million in grant funds to continue the housing programs. In





2010/2011, approximately $560,000 of assistance was provided to residents for housing assistance,

of which Trisha was a key staff member.

Lakeport City Staff:

AGENCY ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2010/2011

2010/2011 was a difficult and tumultuous year for Redevelopment Agencies in the State of

California. In the summer of 2011, the California Legislator and Governor Jerry Brown approvedtwo pieces of legislation (ABX26 and ABX27) which in tandem eliminated redevelopment and at the

same time allowed Agencies to be reconstituted subject to a commitment to make a substantial

continuation payment and agree to pay future annual continuation payments in perpetuity. There

was a significant amount of City staff time spent in communicating with State Legislators and the

Governor along with organizing local opposition to the legislative proposal. There were letters and

emails sent to legislators and to the Governor, a trip to Sacramento to participate in a rally, time

spent listening to several web casts put on by the California Redevelopment Association (CRA), and

the League of California Cities (LCC) and in updating the City Council / Agency Board. All of this

effort was to no avail. It was particularly discouraging that the City ’s State representatives never

acknowledged the City correspondence sent to them regarding the redevelopment legislation..

The CRA and the LCC filed suit with the California Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality

of ABX26 and ABX27, and a decision on that case is pending. In the meantime, the Court issued a

stay which effectively shut down any new redevelopment activities of the Agency after July of 2011.

In spite of the actions of the State Legislature and Governor to end Redevelopment, progress has

been made in carrying out the goals, activities, and projects of the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency,

including eliminating blight conditions in the Project Area. The following section describes the

Agency’s progress, including specific actions and expenditures, to alleviate blight within the Project

Area in 2010/2011

REDEVELOPMENT –PROJECTS, PLANNING AND DESIGN

Pursuant to its 2009-2014 Five-Year Redevelopment Implementation Plan, the Lakeport

Redevelopment Agency engaged in the following projects, planning, and design activities to alleviate

blight in Fiscal Year 2010/2011 included:

Downtown Improvement Projects:

Proposed Phase II Downtown Improvements will consist of construction of new wide sidewalks,

street trees, lighting, new handicap ramps and irrigation. The Downtown Improvement Project willalso include related infrastructure including storm drain facilities and roadway improvements.

This project will implement the Downtown Improvement Plan approved by the City Council in

2006 and is intended to beautify and enhance the downtown area. This Improvement project will

match and compliment those improvements installed in 2008 (Third and Park Streets and the City

Hall parking lot). The improvement area includes Main Street between Martin Street and Third





Street, Park Street between First and Second Streets, Second Street between Main and Park Streets,

and First Street between Main Street and the Clear Lake shoreline.

The Agency has engaged in a significant amount of action and activity designed to implement the

Phase II project, consistent with the Lakeport General Plan and the Downtown Improvement Plan.City staff defined the budget for Phase II of the Downtown Improvements which was approved by

the Agency in June. There has been significant progress made in 2010/2011 in preparation in of

engineered improvement plans which are approximately 80% complete.

A graphic representation of the design plan follows.





Façade Enhancement Program:

The Agency continues to operate the Facade

Enhancement Program in the downtown and

Main Street corridor areas of the Project Area. The Façade Enhancement Program provides

funding for design and construction of new

and renovated storefronts (up to $35,000).

There have been 20 projects designed with

several projects having completed construction

through Owner Participation Agreements

(OPA): The façade program continues to be

popular in the Main Street business community

and expectations for more construction as the

economy improves are good.

Dr. Mark Buehnerkemper's Office

Land Assembly and Acquisition for Redevelopment Projects:

There are areas of the Project Area that are developed with under-performing land uses. The

downtown area and the Lakeport Boulevard / South Main Street intersection area are examples.

The Agency has worked with property owners and developers in discussions regarding assembly and

acquisition of land into appropriate parcel sizes and configuration to facilitate the development of

high-quality retail, office, mixed use hotel or residential uses.

Hotel Development:

The Agency continues to support the development of a hotel project in the Project Area. The

Agency has identified several potential hotel development sites. Once a developer(s) is selected, the

Agency will enter into negotiations and develop a strategy and agreement for moving forward on a

hotel project(s). The Agency may also participate financially in the project in a manner to be

determined and negotiated.

Agency staff prepared a hotel RFP but has put this project on hold due to current economic

conditions. Discussions with a downtown property owner regarding a boutique hotel project were

conducted a couple of years ago, and there have been discussions with the owner of Vista Point

Shopping Center about the potential for a hotel. In addition, Agency staff has met with a local

hotelier regarding a downtown hotel project.





The Anchorage Inn motel on North Main Street was sold to a new owner in 2011. City staff has

met with the owners to discuss ways in which the Agency can help improve the business.

Waterfront Planning and Development:

The Agency continued its efforts to prepare a Waterfront Development Plan for the area north of

Third Street to Clear Lake Avenue and from Third Street south to “C” Street. Consultants will be

hired to work with the Agency, the general public, property owners, and interested parties in the

waterfront plan development. Conceptual plans, which will serve as a starting point for public

discussion, have been prepared. The graphic design of one of the conceptual plans is below. It is

anticipated that Agency staff will prepare a consultant RFP in 2012.

New / Relocated Parking Facility Construction:

The Agency has not considered funding the construction of new or relocated parking facilities

within the Project Area in the fiscal year.

Shovel Ready Development Project:

This project involves the possibility of working with landowner(s) in the Project Area (South Main

Street – Campbell Hill area) to plan, assemble land, obtain entitlements, and assist in development of

job producing facilities and buildings. Staff has continued to work on the concept and has several

discussions with consultants to develop an RFP. Staff will continue to work on this project in fiscal

year 2010/2011.





Public Safety Facility Construction:

The Redevelopment Agency has, in the past, considered participating in the construction of new

Public Safety Buildings on Larrecou Lane. Buildings would house the Lakeport Fire Protection

District’s main fire station. Agency staff has in the past met with the District Chief to review

options and discussed Redevelopment financing. There are restrictions on funding proposals such

as this.

Superior Court Construction - AOC:

The Agency has taken an active role in the construction of a new Superior Court building in the

Project Area. Staff participated in the Lakeport Courthouse Program Advisory Group. This group

meets regularly to review and make recommendations concerning Courthouse development issues.

A site on Vista Point was selected by the state as the project location. Agency staff worked with the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) on this project and in the identification of project

impacts. The Agency has commented on the project environmental review and has entered into an

MOU with the AOC relative to assuring access to the property from Lakeport Boulevard. There

was also an agreement reached with the AOC to study the feasibility of developing a new street to

serve the project. Quincy Engineering is working directly with the AOC to study this important

project component with results expected in 2012/2013.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment:

The Redevelopment Agency may consider an amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to add land,extend the Plan time frames, or other amendments. Critical and immediate concerns prevented

staff from pursuing this goal as aggressively as was intended and, as a result, no significant progress

was made in fiscal year 2010/2011; however, staff intends to devote more time and resources to this

effort in fiscal year 2011/2012.

Nuisance Abatement and Blight Elimination Activities:

In 2011 the Community Development Department contacted the owners of two parcels in theRedevelopment Project Area that had nuisance/blighted structures on them and worked with theowners to have the structures demolished.

1370 Sixth St. / APN 025-034-01

This property was the site of a badly dilapidated single family dwelling and detached garage that were

visible from Highway 29. The blighted property was a notable eyesore.





Before After

Staff contacted the property owner and advised him of nuisance conditions on the property,including the dilapidated dwelling and an accumulation of outdoor trash and debris. The ownerexpressed a willingness to demolish the house and wanted to avoid the formal nuisance abatement

process. Staff continued to stay in contact with the owner and the demolition permit application was submitted in March 2011. The house and garage were demolished shortly thereafter.

In addition to demolishing the house and detached garage and removing the related debris, the

contractor cleaned up a trash pile that was located near the end of Sixth Street (in the turnaround

area), removed a dilapidated construction trailer that was stored on the property, and removed a

variety of construction debris that was stored outside.

225 S. Estep St. / APN 025-293-07

Before After

This property was the site of a dilapidated duplex structure that had been unoccupied for more than

20 years. The Community Development Department contacted the property owner in April 2011

and advised that the property was considered to be a serious nuisance and that the City intended to

pursue its demolition.





The owner was cooperative and agreed to demolish the structure. Staff continued to follow up with

the owner and provided a list of locally-licensed demolition contractors. A demolition permit

application was submitted in July 2011 and the structure was demolished and all related debris was

removed shortly thereafter.

Other Nuisance Abatement Enforcement Activities in Project Area

The following nuisances and zoning violations are in the redevelopment project area and wereinvestigated by Community Development Department staff in 2011.

110 S. Tunis Mattresses and carpet on sidewalk in front of house

1040 Central Park Ave. Nuisance conditions

15 Royale Ave. Accumulation of trash/debris

345 Seventh St. Unauthorized construction activities

767 Third St. Nuisance conditions and unauthorized construction

440 Campbell Lane Unauthorized auto body repair activities and related nuisance vehicles.

60 Oak Knoll Ave. Unauthorized construction; lean-to affects sight distance

150 Third St. Graffiti. Referred to Police Department.

695 Armstrong St. Noise Nuisance (rooster)

302 N. Main St. Gang-related graffiti. Referred to Police Department.

First St. right-of-way Nuisance/abandoned vehicle

970 Armstrong St. Nuisance vehicle

Estep St. right-of-way Nuisance vehicle

1120 N. Main St. Nuisance/abandoned vehicle





The map below shows the location of code enforcement / nuisance abatement activities in the

Project Area.

Other Planning and Project Administration:

The Agency considered and took action on several administrative matters relating to the possible

end of Redevelopment, including a Resolution transferring land on Bevins Court to the City, a

Cooperation Agreement Resolution between the City and the Agency, and a Funding AgreementResolution between the Agency and the City. Bond proceed funds from the Agency were

transferred to the City and earmarked for downtown improvements.

The Agency staff dealt with a number of specific projects prior to the State’s legislative actions on

ABX26 and ABX27, including OPAs for Peggy Campbell, Bill Irwin, Mark Buehnerkemper, Savings

Bank of Mendocino, and Lakeport Pacific Associates.





Richard Knoll member was a speaker at the CRA Annual Conference in San Jose in April.

In fiscal year 2010/2011, the Agency worked with the following organizations to achieve notable

programs and projects:

The Lakeport Main Street Association Board of Directors and several Lakeport Main Street

Association committees, including the Economic Restructuring and Design Committees;

The Lakeport Economic Development Advisory Committee; and

The Lakeport Main Street Association on community events and recruitment efforts.

The Agency Five Year Implementation Plan was developed by staff and adopted by the Agency in

2009.

REDEVELOPMENT – CAPITAL PROJECTS

The Agency considered capital projects in fiscal year 2010/2011 including:

Project Area Infrastructure:

The Agency considered funding public sewer, water, storm drainage, right-of-way improvements

(including bike lanes), and undergrounding of overhead utilities in conjunction with waterfront and

other Redevelopment projects in the Project Area. To this end, the Agency is currently working on

a neighborhood improvement project on Armstrong Street. A PTA Grant for a study of

neighborhood infrastructure improvement needs was approved in 2010 and an RFP is to be issuedin late 2010. Completion of the South Main Street sidewalks is also under consideration.

A major sidewalk improvement project was constructed in 2010 at 566 S. Main Street. The project

addressed a blight issue that has existed for many years involving a steep slope adjacent to the street

and a gap in the Main Street sidewalk. At a cost of $175,000, the Agency built a retaining wall, new

sidewalks, hand-railing, handicap ramp, street trees and grates.

HOUSING

The Agency is required to provide a description of its activities in the previous fiscal year affecting

housing and displacement that contains the information, as is required by Sections 33080.4 and33080.7 of California Health and Safety Code.

The Redevelopment Agency staff continued negotiations for a large multi-family senior affordable

apartment project on Martin Street. Working with developers AMG Associates and Lakeport

Pacific Associates LLC the Agency staff encouraged the submittal of entitlement actions which were

processed and approved in June of 2009. In addition, the Agency supported the submittal of a





HOME Grant application along with other funding proposals and negotiated an Agency financial

participation.

The Agency participated in a vacant residential lands analysis and an inventory for the purpose of

identifying both single-family and multi-family residential development opportunities. This

information was provided to the Agency with the recommendation for participation in specific

development projects, including the Lakeport Pacific Association project on Martin Street.

There was a resolution passed by the Agency in support of Habitat for Humanity involving the

construction of affordable housing within the City of Lakeport. Agreement was reached with

Habitat for the construction of three residential units over a three year period.

The Agency approved a loan to owner Ken Davis for a multi-family rehabilitation project to

improve the affordable four-plex units and structure.

The Agency worked with the Ukiah-based Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority for a single

family development project on Forest Drive. A request was made to the County to acquire a tax

defaulted lot on Terrace Drive, with the intent to donate it to NAHDC for a new SFD.

Unfortunately, neighborhood opposition and lack of response from Lake County resulted in the

housing entity pulling out of the project.

The Lakeport Redevelopment Agency conducted no housing activities which resulted in any need or

requirement for displacement. The Agency did participate in other housing activities, however,

including the Lakeport Housing Element Update, single-family housing rehabilitation and upgrade,

grants, etc. Below is a sample of the projects completed during fiscal year 2009/2010. A complete

list is included as Appendix A, Housing Activity report presented and dated December 2011.

1025 Martin Street, Space 49

Activity: The Redevelopment Agency

financed the purchase of a mobilehome in

Fairgrounds Village for a disabled, low-

income couple.





1125 Boggs Lane

Activity: Built a handicap-accessiblebathroom for a young man with cerebral

palsy, including walk-in bathtub, and the

installation of a tracking system which

carries the man from bed to bath/toilet.

290 Seventh Street

Activity: Finance the extensive

rehabilitation of a 1945 four-plex for owner-

investor.

(picture taken during construction)

1025 Martin Street, Space 29

Activity: Finance the purchase and

rehabilitation of a mobilehome in

Fairgrounds Village for a disabled, low-

income couple.

Housing activities by the Agency slowed in 2010/2011 in direct response to the State’s legislative

actions to end Redevelopment. There were no (zero) households of any type displaced or moved as

a result of an Agency project. The Agency estimates that there will be no (zero) households moved





or displaced by Redevelopment in fiscal year 2011/2012. There were no (zero) dwelling units,

housing, or households destroyed or removed from the housing market during 2010/2011 as part of

an Agency project.

LOAN REPORT:

In fiscal year 2010/2011, the Agency made one housing loan in the amount of $65,000 to Ken

Davis. That loan is not in default, and is in compliance with the terms approved by the

Redevelopment Agency.

AGENCY PROPERTY REPORT

The Agency transferred ownership of the Bevins Court property to the City of Lakeport under a

Transfer Agreement. The Agency did not acquire any other property in 2010/2011.
