(a) A redevelopment plan for March Air Force Base, adopted pursuant to this chapter and containing the provisions set forth in Section 33670, shall contain all of the following limitations:
(1) (A) A time limit on the establishing of loans, advances, and indebtedness to be paid with the proceeds of property taxes received pursuant to Section 33670 to finance in whole or in part the redevelopment project, which may not exceed 20 years from the date the county auditor certifies pursuant to Section 33492.9, except by amendment of the redevelopment plan as authorized by subparagraph (B). The loans, advances, or indebtedness may be repaid over a period of time longer than the time limit as provided in this section. No loans, advances, or indebtedness to be repaid from the allocation of taxes shall be established or incurred by the agency beyond this time limitation.
(B) The time limitation established by subparagraph (A) may be extended only by amendment of the redevelopment plan after the agency finds, based on substantial evidence, that (i) substantial blight remains within the project area; (ii) this blight cannot be eliminated without the establishment of additional debt; and (iii) the elimination of blight cannot reasonably be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone or by the legislative body’s use of financing alternatives other than tax increment financing. However, this amended time limitation may not exceed 30 years from the date the county auditor certifies pursuant to Section 33492.9.
(2) A time limit, not to exceed 30 years from the date the county auditor certifies pursuant to Section 33492.9, on the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan. After the time limit on the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan, the agency shall have no authority to act pursuant to the redevelopment plan except to pay previously incurred indebtedness and enforce existing covenants or contracts.
(3) A time limit, not to exceed 45 years from the date the county auditor certifies pursuant to Section 33492.9, to repay indebtedness with the proceeds of property taxes received pursuant to Section 33670. After the time limit established pursuant to this paragraph, an agency may not receive property taxes pursuant to Section 33670.
(b) (1) A redevelopment plan, adopted pursuant to this chapter, that does not contain the provisions set forth in Section 33670 shall contain the limitations in paragraph (2).
(2) A time limit, not to exceed 12 years from the date the county auditor certifies pursuant to Section 33492.9, for commencement of eminent domain proceedings to acquire property within the project area. This time limitation may be extended only by amendment of the redevelopment plan.
