RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
OPPOSING PROPOSITION 98 — THE PROPERTY OWNERS
AND FARMLAND PROTECTION ACT — WHICH WILL APPEAR
ON THE JUNE 2, 2008 PRIMARY ELECTION BALLOT
WHEREAS, two alternative measures to restrict the use of eminent domain will
appear on the ballot for the Primary Election on June 2, 2008; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Commission of the City of National
City (CDC) has analyzed both measures and believes Proposition 98 — The Property Owners
and Farmland Protection Act — would prohibit and define "damage" to private property in ways
that would reduce the community's ability to revitalize neighborhoods through local land use and
zoning decisions; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 98 would prohibit important affordable housing activities
such as rent controls and establishing affordable rents and purchase prices so that very low, low
and moderate income families can obtain housing; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 98 would place an undue burden of process and
expense on public projects that include the use of eminent domain.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Community Development
Commission of the City of National City hereby opposes Proposition 98 — The Property Owners
and Farmland Protection Act — which will appear on the June 2, 2008 Primary Election ballot.
