The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of § 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique and special circumstances surrounding the existing Long Beach Civic Center, and the need to immediately, quickly, and efficiently develop the project, and to resolve property issues potentially delaying the project.
