2007 AMENDMENT TO REDEV PLAN (411-2-3)
35. Resolution No. 2007-149 (continued).
TESTIMONY: Mr. Walter Lauderdale, Senior Associate with
Rosenow Spavacek Group, the consultant retained by the City /
CDC to prepare the Redevelopment Plan Amendment reported as
follows:
1. As proposed the 2007 Amendment would amend the time limit
on assembling land by the use of eminent domain authority for 12
years.
2. The eminent domain authority in the proposed amendment
would only affect vacant, commercial and industrial properties
within the current existing redevelopment boundaries. There is no
expansion of that authority over any other areas.
3. All residential uses, both single-family and multi -family
residential, would be excluded from eminent domain authority
under the proposed amendment.
4. The proposed amendment would also add provisions for the
CDC to pay for all or part of the value of land and the cost of the
installation and construction of any publicly owned buildings,
facilities structure or other improvements inside or outside the
project area pursuant to Califomia Redevelopment Law.
5. Additionally the 2007 Amendment will modify Section 7 of the
Redevelopment Plan to allow auto and truck sales when part of a
new vehicle dealership located on land within the transportation
district.
6. The plan also revises Exhibit 'C', the Public Infrastructure
Improvement Project, to clarify objectives and add public safety and
security provisions for physical and technological enhancements to
improve public safety and protection.
Mr. Lauderdale concluded that the 2007 Plan Amendment is
necessary in order to: a) extend the time limit of Eminent Domain
authority in currently authorized areas; b) refine the authority to
exclude all residential uses; c) Allow property owners to benefit
from the income and property tax re -investment advantages that
are allowed under the law, and d) To facilitate rehabilitation and
new development activities as well as to remove remaining physical
and economic blighting conditions.
