California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33492

(a) Provide a means of mitigating the economic and social degradation that is faced by communities the jurisdictions of which include military bases that have been ordered to be closed or realigned by the federal Base Closure Commission.

(b) Enable redevelopment agencies to place in a project area portions of a military base that were previously developed, but that cannot be utilized in their present condition because of, in whole or in part, substandard infrastructure and buildings that do not meet state building standards. It is not the intent of the Legislature to encourage redevelopment agencies to include large areas of undeveloped land within project areas.
