§ 33492.104. For the purposes of this article, a blighted area within the boundaries of the Tu

For the purposes of this article, a blighted area within the boundaries of the Tustin Marine Corps Air Station Redevelopment Project is an area described in subdivision (a) of Section 33492.102 in which the combination of two or more of the following conditions are so prevalent and so substantial that it causes a reduction of, or a lack of, proper utilization of the area to an extent that constitutes a serious physical and economic burden on the community that cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise or governmental action, or both, without redevelopment: (a) Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy 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. (b) Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable reuse or capacity of buildings or areas. This condition may be caused by conditions including, but not necessarily limited to, all of the following: a substandard design; buildings that are too large or too small given present standards and market conditions; and age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, or other physical conditions that could prevent the highest and best uses of the property. This condition also may be caused by buildings that must be demolished or buildings or areas that have a lack of parking. (c) 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. (d) Buildings on land that, when subdivided or when infrastructure is installed, would not comply with community subdivision, zoning, or planning regulations. (e) Properties currently served by infrastructure that does not meet existing adopted utility or community infrastructure standards or the existence of inadequate public improvements, public facilities, and utilities that cannot be remedied by private or governmental action, without redevelopment. (f) Buildings that, when built, did not conform to the then-effective building, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical codes adopted by the jurisdiction in which the project area is located. (g) Land that contains materials or facilities, including, but not necessarily limited to, materials for aircraft landing pads and runways that would have to be removed to allow development. (h) Properties that contain hazardous wastes that may benefit from the use of agency authority as specified in Article 12.5 (commencing with Section 33459) of Chapter 4 in order to be developed by either the private or public sector or in order to comply with applicable federal or state standards.
