(a) If the governing board of a fire protection district finds that it is suffering a financial burden or detriment as a result of actions taken by the redevelopment agency in implementing the redevelopment plan, the district board may transmit a written copy of those findings, together with supporting information, materials, and documents, to the redevelopment agency. The redevelopment agency shall conduct a public hearing within 45 days after receiving the findings to receive public testimony identifying the effects of the redevelopment plan on the fire protection district and suggesting revisions to the redevelopment plan as adopted or amended by the legislative body that would alleviate or eliminate the financial burden or detriment in the area or areas caused by the implementation of the redevelopment plan. The redevelopment agency shall send written notice of the public hearing to, and at the hearing receive public testimony from, any affected taxing entity. After receiving that testimony at the hearing, the agency shall consider amendments of the plan necessary to alleviate or eliminate the financial burden or detriment in the area or areas caused by the implementation of the redevelopment plan. The agency may recommend those amendments for adoption by the legislative body.
(b) Section 33353 does not apply to an amendment of the plan proposed pursuant to subdivision (a) when both of the following occur:
(1) The amendment proposes only to add significant additional capital improvement projects to alleviate or eliminate the financial burden or detriment caused by the implementation of the plan.
(2) The amendment will delete capital improvement projects or otherwise modify the plan in a way that the agency finds will result in no additional financial impact on any affected taxing entity.
(c) Any funds received by a fire protection district from a redevelopment agency to alleviate or eliminate the financial burden or detriment caused by implementation of a redevelopment plan as a result of a public hearing conducted pursuant to subdivision (a) may be used for any lawful purpose of the district.
(d) The district board of a fire protection district shall not make the findings permitted by subdivision (a) with respect to any project area more than once.
(e) The agency may recover its actual costs of complying with the procedural requirements of this section from the fire protection district.
(f) This section applies only to redevelopment plans adopted prior to January 1, 1977.
