What is the Redevelopment Plan?
A Redevelopment Plan is a formally adopted document that identifies the boundaries of the Redevelopment Project Area, the existence of blight, the programs and projects that will be pursued to eliminate that blight and provide affordable housing, the time limits for redevelopment activities in the Redevelopment Project Area, and the specific powers that will be exercised by the Redevelopment Agency. Santa Barbara’s Central City Redevelopment Project Plan was adopted in 1972 and has been amended four times. It establishes that activities in the Project Area are to be completed in the year 2015.
