SECTION 7. URGENCY ORDINANCE This ordinance is an urgency ordinance and shall take effect immediately upon adoption. The facts constituting the urgency are as follows: Ord,, 91-14 2 A. The County of Riverside has indicated that unless the City of Temecula agrees to a one hundred percent (100%) "pass-through" agreement with the County pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33401, it will dissolve County of Riverside Redevelopment Plan No. 1-1988 (the "Plan'), which is necessary to eliminate blight within the City of Temecula. B. Since County adoption of the Plan on July 12, 1988, the Plan has resulted in the creation of tax increment necessary to eliminate blight within Temecula. Dissolution of the Plan will result in the loss of over $2,000,000 in tax increment, even if the City were to readopt the Plan on its own. Such a loss of tax increment will grievously harm the City's ability to eliminate blight within the Project Area of the Plan, and consequently, immediate adoption of this Ordinance is necessary to preserve the public peace, health and safety.
