occupancy" will include both the occupancy <br />by a different tenant of property previously <br />vacated, and the execution of a new lease, <br />lease renewal, lease assignment, or other <br />agreement providing for continuing occu- <br />pancy by an existing occupant or new occu- <br />pant after termination or expiration of lease. <br />2. Agency approval shall be granted <br />only if the owner has: <br />a. Completed improvements in accord- <br />ance with the redevelopment plan and all <br />standards relating to such improvements <br />adopted by the redevelopment agency; or <br />b. Entered into an owner participation <br />agreement providing for such improve- <br />ments. <br />3. Any change in use or occupancy, any <br />lease renewal, or other agreement providing <br />for continuing occupancy by an existing oc- <br />cupant or new occupant, or any unauthor- <br />ized construction activity initiated without <br />approval of the agency shall be a misde- <br />meanor. <br />4. No business license shall be issued to <br />any business within the project area which is <br />not in compliance with this plan. <br />5. Any lease executed in violation of <br />these provisions shall be voidable at the op- <br />tion of the lessee. <br />6. In the event of failure of an owner to <br />fully comply with the provisions of an own- <br />er participation agreement into which owner <br />has entered with the agency, the agency may <br />thereupon, by motion, declare void all occu- <br />pancy approvals granted by agency in said <br />agreement. Continued occupancy of the <br />premises thereafter by such occupants is a <br />violation of this plan. (Plaza 1 redev. plan § <br />II(B), 1986) <br />1.20.030 Owner participation <br />agreements. <br />Owner participation agreements will be <br />prepared as soon after the adoption of the <br />redevelopment plan as possible. Such <br />agreements will be prepared by the redevel- <br />opment agency after consultation with prop- <br />erty owners. Each agreement will contain a <br />list of minimum improvements to be made <br />for the specific property to which it applies, <br />formulated in accordance with the standards <br />and design concept established hereunder. In <br />addition, each agreement will provide for <br />the submission to the agency of specific <br />plans and specifications for these improve- <br />ments sufficiently in advance of the time at <br />which the improvements are actually to be <br />accomplished to permit thorough agency <br />review. The time at which improvements to <br />a building are to be accomplished will, when <br />necessary, be coordinated with the lease pe- <br />riod of its major occupant. In those cases <br />with prolonged periods of time remaining on <br />the current lease, earlier dates will be estab- <br />lished by the agency. (Plaza 1 redev. plan § <br />11(C), 1986) <br />1.20.040 Standards. <br />All improvement plans presented to the <br />redevelopment agency and all actual im- <br />provements shall conform to the standards <br />adopted by said agency on August 14, 1967, <br />as part of the rules and standards governing <br />owner participation, and any subsequent <br />amendments thereto. <br />The agency may approve a variance from <br />the development standards on a showing by <br />the owner that the extent of recent im- <br />provements, the location or orientation of <br />the building or the nature of a proposed use <br />of the building is such that strict adherence <br />to all improvement standards would serious - <br />17 (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05) <br />
