The Agency finds that as to such significant effect identified above: [X] Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects thereof as identified in the Final EIR. [ ] Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. C ] Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR. The facts supporting such findings are as follows: 1. The Redevelopment Plan provides an administrative and financial mechanism to develop new and affordable housing along with rehabi- litation of existing housing units which could not have been accomplished through other sources. 2. New job opportunities which are not being provided by the private sector will be provided to meet the economic and social needs of the Community. 3. The Redevelopment Plan provides a tool to assist residents and business persons to enhance their quality of life. 4. The Redevelopment Plan provides a mechanism to accomodate and control growth that would have occurred irrespective of the redeve- lopment plan. These findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record of the pro- ceedings before the Agency. EXHIBIT A FINDINGS ON SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS Description of significant effect: The Agency's authority, pursuant to Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code, to be allocated tax,increment revenue will result in a re- distribution of property taxes causing a fiscal effect to the various taxing jurisdictions. The Agency finds that as to such significant effect identified above: [XI Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects thereof as identified in the Final EIR. [ ] Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. [ ] Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR. The facts supporting such findings are as follows: 1. Implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will serve to mitigate the existing depressed and blighted conditions in the community thereby strengthening the long-term future fiscal stability of all taxing jurisdictions. 2. Short-term fiscal impacts can be alleviated with the use of Agency/Taxing entity cooperative agreements providing: a) a pass- throuch of loss tax increment; b) the completion of capital projects; and/or c) a combination of both where it can be shown by the taxing entity that the fiscal impact is a severe financial detriment or burden resulting from the adoption and/or implemen- tation of the Redevelopment Plan. These findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record of the pro- ceedings before the Agency. EXHIBIT A FINDINGS ON SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS Description of significant effect: School facilities (San Jacinto Unified School District) may be seriously impacted by additional population growth stimulated as a result of the Redevelopment Plan. The Agency finds that as to such significant effect identified above: [X] Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects thereof as identified in the Final EIR. [ ] Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. C ] Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final FIR. The facts supporting such findings are as follows: 1. The Redevelopment Plan will guide future growth consistent with the City' s General Plan. 2. Additional facilities may be provided or funded by the Redevelopment Plan which the District has no financial means to provide. 3.
