SECTION 33320.1-33328.7

33320.1. (a) "Project area" means, except as provided in Section
33320.2, 33320.3, 33320.4, or 33492.3, a predominantly urbanized area
of a community that is a blighted area, the redevelopment of which
is necessary to effectuate the public purposes declared in this part,
and that is selected by the planning commission pursuant to Section
33322.
(b) As used in this section, "predominantly urbanized" means that
not less than 80 percent of the land in the project area is either of
the following:
(1) Has been or is developed for urban uses.
(2) Is an integral part of one or more areas developed for urban
uses that are surrounded or substantially surrounded by parcels that
have been or are developed for urban uses. Parcels separated by only
an improved right-of-way shall be deemed adjacent for the purpose of
this subdivision. Parcels that are not blighted shall not be included
in the project area for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of
taxes from the area pursuant to Section 33670 without other
substantial justification for their inclusion.
(c) For the purposes of this section, a parcel of property as
shown on the official maps of the county assessor is developed if
that parcel is developed in a manner that is consistent with zoning
standards or is otherwise permitted under law.
(d) The requirement that a project be predominantly urbanized
shall apply only to a project area for which a final redevelopment
plan is adopted on or after January 1, 1984, or to an area that is
added to a project area by an amendment to a redevelopment plan,
which amendment is adopted on or after January 1, 1984.

33320.2. (a) The area included within a project and a project area
may be either contiguous or noncontiguous. All noncontiguous areas of
a project area shall be either blighted or necessary for effective
redevelopment. An unblighted, noncontiguous area shall be
conclusively deemed necessary for effective redevelopment if that
area is being used predominantly for:
(1) The relocation of owners or tenants from other noncontiguous
areas in the same project area or from other project areas in the
community.
(2) The construction and rehabilitation of low- or moderate-income
housing.
(b) An unblighted, noncontiguous area shall be deemed not
necessary for effective redevelopment if that area is included for
the purpose of obtaining the allocation of taxes from such area
pursuant to Section 33670 without other substantial justification for
its inclusion.
(c) The redevelopment agency shall not use the power of eminent
domain for acquisition of property, other than vacant land, in
noncontiguous, unblighted areas.

33320.3. (a) The area included within a project and a project area
may be either contiguous or noncontiguous. All noncontiguous areas of
a project area shall be either blighted or necessary for effective
redevelopment. An unblighted, noncontiguous area within the City of
Victorville which is a part of a freeway interchange project that is
included in the State Transportation Improvement Program, as adopted
by the California Transportation Commission in June 1984, and an
unblighted area contiguous to that freeway interchange project east
of Armagosa, north of Seneca Road, west of Seventh Street, and South
of Plaza Drive and Mohave Drive, excluding any subdivided and
developed area, shall be conclusively deemed necessary for effective
redevelopment and may be included within a noncontiguous project area
by the redevelopment agency in the City of Victorville.
(b) The redevelopment agency shall not use the power of eminent
domain for acquisition of property, other than vacant land, in
noncontiguous, unblighted areas.
(c) This section shall only apply to a redevelopment project area
and the redevelopment agency within the City of Victorville.

33320.4. (a) The unblighted territory that is described in
paragraphs (1) and (2) is contiguous to an existing redevelopment
project area within the City of Sanger, California. If all of that
unblighted territory is annexed to the City of Sanger, the planning
agency within the City of Sanger may, with the approval of the
redevelopment agency, include that territory in a proposed project
area, or the redevelopment agency may amend the redevelopment plan to
include that territory within an existing contiguous project area,
if the planning agency or the redevelopment agency, as the case may
be, determines that the inclusion of that territory is necessary for
effective redevelopment of the project area. If either, or both, of
those determinations are made, the territory shall be conclusively
presumed necessary for effective redevelopment within the proposed or
existing project area. Any actions taken by the planning agency or
redevelopment agency in accordance with this section shall comply
with all of the other requirements of this part.
(1) All that portion of Fresno County, California, within the City
of Sanger in Sections 26 and 25, Township 14 South, Range 22 East,
