(a) This section shall apply to a redevelopment project area the territory of which includes March Air Force Base, that is adopted pursuant to a redevelopment plan that contains the provisions required by Section 33670, and that is adopted pursuant to this chapter. The redevelopment agency shall make the payments to affected school districts and community college districts required by subdivision (a) of Section 33607.5, except that each of the time periods governing the payments shall be calculated from the date the county auditor makes the certification to the Director of Finance pursuant to Section 33492.9 instead of from the first fiscal year in which the agency receives tax-increment revenue.
(b) (1) Pursuant to Section 33492.3, the March Air Force Base Project Area adopted pursuant to this article may include all, or any portion of, property within the military base that the federal Base Closure and Realignment Commission has voted to realign when that action has been sustained by the President and the Congress of the United States, regardless of the percentage of urbanized land, as defined in Section 33320.1, within the military base.
(2) (A) Pursuant to Section 33492.3, the March Air Force Base Project Area may include territory outside the military base. The project area shall be entirely contained within a one-mile perimeter of the boundaries of March Air Force Base, as those boundaries exist on January 1, 1995. At no time shall the aggregate acreage of the project area outside the boundaries of March Air Force Base, as those boundaries exist on January 1, 1995, exceed 2 percent of the total acreage contained within that one-mile perimeter, and these areas may only be included in the project area upon a finding of benefit to the March Air Force Base Project Area and with the concurrence of the legislative bodies of the County of Riverside, the City of Moreno Valley, the City of Perris, and the City of Riverside.
(B) The agency for the March Air Force Base Project Area may, with the concurrence of the relevant legislative body pursuant to subparagraph (B), pay for all or a part of the value of land and the cost of the installation and construction of any structure or facility or other improvement that is publicly owned outside the jurisdiction of the agency, if the legislative body of the agency determines all of the following:
(i) That the structure, facility, or other improvement is of benefit to the project area.
(ii) That no other reasonable means of financing the facilities, structures, or improvements are available to the community.
(iii) That the payment of funds for the acquisition of land or the cost of facilities, structures, or other improvements will assist in the elimination of one or more blight conditions, as identified pursuant to Section 33492.83, inside the project area, or provide housing for low- or moderate-income persons.
(C) Concurrence of the relevant legislative body shall be demonstrated by the adoption of an ordinance by the community where the structure, facility, or other improvement is to be located that authorizes the redevelopment of the area within its territorial limits by the redevelopment agency for the March Air Force Base Project Area.
(D) All projects authorized by this subdivision shall be within communities that are contiguous to the March Air Force Base Project Area.
(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 33492.15 or any other provision of law, the March Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency shall not be obligated to make any payments required by subdivision (a) of Section 33492.15 to the County of Riverside, the County Free Library Fund, and the County Fire Fund. Instead, the March Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency shall be required to make those payments required under the Cooperative Agreement entered into among the County of Riverside, the March Joint Powers Authority, and the March Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency dated August 20, 1996, as that agreement may be amended from time to time.
