Read the full statutory text
(a) A district may finance only the facilities or services authorized in this chapter. The additional facilities or services may not supplant facilities or services already available within that territory when the district was created, except if those facilities or services are essentially nonfunctional, obsolete, hazardous, or in need of upgrading or rehabilitation. The additional facilities or services may supplement those facilities and services as needed to serve new developments. (b) A district may include areas that are not contiguous. A district may be divided into project areas, each of which may be subject to distinct limitations established under this chapter. The legislative body may, at any time, add territory to a district or amend the infrastructure financing plan for the district by conducting the same procedures for the formation of a district or approval of bonds, if applicable, as provided pursuant to this chapter. (c) Any district may finance any project or portion of a project that is located in, or overlaps with, any redevelopment project area or former redevelopment project area or former military base, inclusively referred to as “overlapping.” In the case of overlapping, the successor agency to the former redevelopment agency shall receive a finding of completion, as described in Section 34179.7 of the Health and Safety Code, prior to the district financing any project or portion of a project in the overlapping area. (d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), any debt or obligation of a district shall be subordinate to an enforceable obligation of a former redevelopment agency, as defined in Section 34171 of the Health and Safety Code. For purposes of this chapter, the division of taxes allocated to the district pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 53369.30 shall not include any taxes required to be deposited by the county auditor-controller into the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund created pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 34170.5 of the Health and Safety Code. (e) The legislative body of the city forming the district may choose to dedicate any portion of its net available revenue to the district through the financing plan described in Section 53369.14.
