The provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000) of Division 24), as modified by Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 33492) thereof, shall apply to the Redevelopment Agency of Fort Ord, and this agency shall have all powers of a redevelopment agency as provided in this part.
(c) In addition to the powers of an agency, the Redevelopment Agency of Fort Ord shall also act as the legislative body and the planning commission for all approvals and actions required and authorized by this part for the adoption and implementation of a redevelopment plan. However, subject to the consistency and appeal provision of Title 7.85 (commencing with Section 67650) of the Government Code and other applicable provisions of state law, all planning, zoning, and permitting decisions with regard to the land within the project area shall continue to be under the control and jurisdiction of each of the respective local legislative bodies, as applicable.
(d) For purposes of this article, “board” means the governing board of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority, as defined in Title 7.85 (commencing with Section 67650) of the Government Code. “Legislative body,” as used elsewhere in this part, shall, for the purposes of this article when relating to the Redevelopment Agency of Fort Ord, also refer to the governing board of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority.
(e) The board may create a project area to include all or a portion or portions of the area of Ford Ord, except that the board shall not create a project area which overlays any territory included within a project area established by the redevelopment agency of a city or the county.
(f) A city or county redevelopment agency may establish a project area which includes any or all of the territory within the jurisdiction of the city or county which is also within the territory of Fort Ord, but only pursuant to the provisions of this section.
