County of Los Angeles v. Community Revelopment Agency
County of Los Angeles appeals a judgment partially invalidating an ordinance that adopted a redevelopment plan for a new redevelopment project. Pursuant to instructions by this court in a prior opinion, the judgment invalidates the ordinance to the extent it would allow Community Redevelopment Agency of City of Los Angeles (1) to receive additional tax increment funds derived from property formerly within another redevelopment project area, (2) to incur additional debt repayable by tax increment funds in connection with the transferred property, and (3) to impose land use restrictions on the transferred property that would be effective beyond 35 years from the date of adoption of the prior redevelopment plan.
Court conclude further that the appellants have shown no legal basis to require the city council to reevaluate the economic feasibility in light of the changed circumstances or to prepare new reports reevaluating the redevelopment plan, and that they have shown no prejudicial error in the attorney fee award.
