A Description of the Physical and Economic Conditions Existing in the Project Area Legal Definitions and Standards Chapter 4.5 (Sections 33492 through 33492.29) of the Law was enacted to provide a means of mitigating the economic and social degradation that is faced by the communities when military bases have been ordered to be closed by federal action. Sections 33492.10 and 33492.11 of the Law provide specific definitions of a "blighted area" for project areas that are closed military bases. Section 33492.10 of the Law states that a blighting area within the boundaries of the military base is an area in which the combination of two or more conditions set forth in Section 33492.11 is so prevalent and substantial that it causes a reduction of or lack of proper utilization of the area to an extent that constitutes serious physical and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise or governmental action, or both, without redevelopment. Pursuant to Section 33492.11 of the Law, conditions that cause blight include: Buildings in which it is unsafe or healthy for persons to live or work. These conditions can be caused by serious building code violations, dilapidation and deterioration, defective design or physical construction, faulty or inadequate infrastructure or other similar factors. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable reuse or capacity of buildings or areas. This condition can be caused by conditions including, but not limited to, all of the following: a substandard design; buildings that are too large or too small, given present standards and market conditions; age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, or other physical conditions, that could prevent the highest and best uses of the property. Buildings that will have to be demolished, or buildings or areas that have a lack of adequate parking can also cause this condition. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and that prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the project area. ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.
