CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of _ December 6, 1994 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Hani W. Gabriel, Economic Development Director -PA? SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION OF THE Date: December 6, 1994 CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON EXPANDING THE AGUA MANSA ENTERPRISE ZONE Background In 1989, AB 251 was approved allowing existing State -designated Enterprise Zones to expand zone areas by 15%. These regulations provide, in enterprise zones of multi -jurisdictions, the ability of each jurisdiction to expand its area by 15%. Additionally, each jurisdiction can move forward with its proposed expansion independent of the other member jurisdictions. Although the 15% expansion is a one-time provision by the State, the entire expansion effort does not need to take place at once, but can be completed in increments over the life of the zone; however, the City cannot exceed 241.95 total expansion acres. Regulations also provide that zoning of the area be 51 % commercial and/or industrial and that boundaries be contiguous and continuous to the existing zone. On July 2, 1991, the City Council approved a 22.42 acre expansion of the Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone, and on July 19, 1994, the City Council approved an additional 95 acre expansion, leaving approximately 124 acres available for future expansions. Discussion Under City Council direction at its meeting of June 21, 1994, staff has conducted a study for expansion of the remaining 124 acres of the Zone in the vicinities of West Valley Boulevard at Pepper Avenue and the South 44 Annexation area south of Agua Mansa Road at Riverside Avenue. The proposed expansion areas concentrate specifically upon areas adjacent to the proposed medical center and in the most recently annexed sections of the City and are zoned primarily industrial. The total acreage in the proposed expansion areas is 122 acres, utilizing the total remaining expansion acreage available to the City for its portion of the Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone. The attached Resolution authorizes and makes final application for expansion of the Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone to include approximately 122 additional acres. Upon approval of the Resolution, staff will present the City Council's request for zone expansion to the Joint Powers Authority of the Zone, and, upon its approval by Resolution, will make final application submittal to the State for approval of the expansion.
