Chapter 3.12 OWNER PARTICIPATION AND BUSINESS REENTRY Sections: 3.12.010 Agency rules. 3.12.020 Owner participation in redevelopment. 3.12.030 Participation agreements. 3.12.040 Business reentry preference. 3.12.010 Agency rules. The provisions of this chapter shall be implemented according to the owner partici- pation and business reentry preference rules adopted by the agency (the "rules"). When there is a conflict between the provisions for owner participation and reentry preference in the plan and the provisions in the rules, the provisions in the plan shall prevail. (Ord. 99-025 § 204.1, 1999) 3.12.020 Owner participation in redevelopment. The agency will extend to owners of real property in the project area a reasonable op- portunity to participate in redevelopment of the property. Owner participation projects must conform to the plan and the rules. An owner may participate by remaining in substantially the same location and retain- ing and redeveloping all or portions of the property. An owner may also purchase adja- cent property to redevelop together with the property retained. A property owner may affiliate with another person or entity to jointly propose an owner participation pro - j ect. 3.12.010 Participation opportunities will necessari- ly be limited by factors relating to imple- mentation of the plan, such as the elimina- tion of certain land uses, the alteration of public streets and other rights-of-way, the relocation of public utilities and public ser- vices, the need to assemble parcels for pub- lic or private projects, and similar changes associated with redevelopment projects. The agency will also consider factors relating to the owner's ability to successfully carry out the proposed redevelopment. These factors include the ability to finance the proposed project area experience with similar projects, and the overall feasibility of the proposal. (Ord. 99-025 § 204.2, 1999) 3.12.030 Participation agreements. The agency may require, as a condition to participating in redevelopment of the pro- ject area, that the owner enter into a binding agreement with the agency. The participa- tion agreement will obligate the owner to acquire, dispose of, rehabilitate, redevelop, and use the property consistent with the Plan and will impose other conditions as agreed by the owner and the agency. The provisions of the plan are applicable to all public and private property in the pro- ject area, whether or not an owner enters into a participation agreement with the agency. (Ord. 99-025 § 204.3, 1999) 3.12.040 Business reentry preference. Businesses displaced from property with- in the project area by redevelopment activi- ties shall be granted a reasonable preference to reestablish on redeveloped sites in the project area. Businesses seeking to reenter the project area must meet the requirements of the plan and comply with the rules adopt- ed by the agency. 127 (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05)
