Redevelopment
Agency In 1960, the Salinas City Council established the Salinas Urban Renewal Agency for the purpose of participating in redevelopment programs as authorized by the State of California Health and Safety Code. In 1981, the City Council changed the name of the Urban Renewal Agency to the Salinas Redevelopment Agency to more precisely reflect the activities in connection with downtown and East Salinas revitalization and neighborhood improvement programs. The Salinas City Council has established two redevelopment project areas to address conditions of blight, as evidenced by high vacancy rates in buildings, deteriorated infrastructure, and other signs of deterioration and blight. In its role as the Redevelopment Agency, the Council has adopted redevelopment plans for the Central City Project Area (1974) and the Sunset Avenue Project Area (1987), which allows for a portion of property taxes to be reinvested within those areas to implement the plans and to combat blighted conditions. In addition to the redevelopment plans, the Agency must adopt a 5-year Implementation Plan that offers more specifics on the past and proposed future activities of the Agency. The most recent Implementation Plan was adopted in 2007 and is valid through 2009; copies are available in the Redevelopment Office at 159 Main St., and on the City’s Web Site. Mailing
