(a)
(1)(A)On or before December 31, 1994, and each five years thereafter, each agency that has adopted a redevelopment plan prior to December 31, 1993, shall adopt, after a public hearing, an implementation plan that shall contain the specific goals and objectives of the agency for the project area, the specific programs, including potential projects, and estimated expenditures proposed to be made during the next five years, and an explanation of how the goals and objectives, programs, and expenditures will eliminate blight within the project area and implement the requirements of Section 33333.10, if applicable, and Sections 33334.2, 33334.4, 33334.6, and 33413. After adoption of the first
implementation plan, the parts of the implementation plan that address Section 33333.10, if applicable, and Sections 33334.2, 33334.4, 33334.6, and 33413 shall be adopted every five years either in conjunction with the housing element cycle or the implementation plan cycle and shall be made available to the public on the Internet. The agency may amend the implementation plan after conducting a public hearing on the proposed amendment. If an action attacking the adoption, approval, or validity of a redevelopment plan adopted prior to January 1, 1994, has been brought pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 33500), the first implementation plan required pursuant to this section shall be adopted within six months after a final judgment or order has been entered. Subsequent implementation plans required pursuant to this section shall be adopted pursuant to the terms of this section, and as if the first implementation plan had been adopted on or before December 31, 1994.
(B)
Adoption of an implementation plan shall not constitute an approval of any specific program, project, or expenditure and shall not change the need to obtain any required approval of a specific program, project, or expenditure from the agency or community. The adoption of an implementation plan shall not constitute a project within the meaning of Section 21000 of the Public Resources Code. However, the inclusion of a specific program, potential project, or expenditure in an implementation plan prepared pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 33352 in conjunction with a redevelopment plan adoption shall not eliminate analysis of those programs, potential projects, and expenditures in the environmental impact report prepared pursuant to subdivision (k) of Section 33352 to the extent that it would be otherwise required. In addition, the inclusion of programs, potential projects, and expenditures in an implementation plan shall not eliminate review
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code), at the time of the approval of the program, project, or expenditure, to the extent that it would be otherwise required.
(2)
(A)A portion of the implementation plan shall address the agency housing responsibilities and shall contain a section addressing Section 33333.10, if applicable, and Sections 33334.2, 33334.4, and 33334.6, the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, and, if subdivision (b) of Section 33413 applies, a section addressing agency developed and project area housing. The section addressing the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund shall contain:
(i)
The amount available in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and the estimated amounts which will be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund during each
of the next five years.
(ii)
A housing program with estimates of the number of new, rehabilitated, or price restricted units to be assisted during each of the five years and estimates of the expenditures of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund during each of the five years.
(iii)A description of how the housing program will implement the requirement for expenditures of moneys in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund over a 10-year period for various groups as required by Section 33334.4. For project areas to which subdivision (b) of Section 33413 applies, the 10-year period within which Section 33334.4 is required to be implemented shall be the same 10-year period within which subdivision (b) of Section 33413 is required to be implemented. Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 33334.4 and the first sentence of this clause, in order to allow these two
10-year time periods to coincide for the first time period, the time to implement the requirements of Section 33334.4 shall be extended two years, and project areas in existence on December 31, 1993, shall implement the requirements of Section 33334.4 on or before December 31, 2014, and each 10 years thereafter rather than December 31, 2012. For project areas to which subdivision (b) of Section 33413 does not apply, the requirements of Section 33334.4 shall be implemented on or before December 31, 2014, and each 10 years thereafter.
(iv)
This requirement to include a description of how the housing program will implement Section 33334.4 in the implementation plan shall apply to implementation plans adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) on or after December 31, 2002.
(B)
For each project area to which subdivision (b) of Section 33413 applies, the section addressing the agency
developed and project area housing shall contain:

(iv)
Estimates of the number of agency developed residential units which will be developed during the next five years, if any, which will be governed by paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 33413.
(v)
Estimates of the number of agency developed units for very low, low-, and moderate-income households which will be developed by the agency during the next five years to meet the requirements of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 33413.

(3)
If the implementation plan contains a project that will result in the destruction or removal of dwelling units that will have to be replaced pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33413, the implementation plan shall identify proposed locations suitable for those replacement dwelling units.
(4)
For a project area that is within six years of the time limit on the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan established pursuant to Section 33333.2, 33333.6, 33333.7, or 33333.10, the portion of the implementation plan addressing the housing responsibilities shall specifically address the ability of the agency to comply, prior to the time limit on the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan, with subdivision (a) of Section 33333.8, subdivision (a) of Section 33413 with respect to replacement dwelling units, subdivision (b) of Section 33413 with respect to project area housing, and the disposition of the remaining moneys in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

Agencies may adopt
implementation plans that include more than one project area.

Every agency, at least once within the five-year term of the plan, shall conduct a public hearing and hear testimony of all interested parties for the purpose of reviewing the redevelopment plan and the corresponding implementation plan for each redevelopment project within the jurisdiction and evaluating the progress of the redevelopment project. The hearing required by this subdivision shall take place no earlier than two years and no later than three years after the adoption of the implementation plan.
