AGENDA ACTION TAKEN
-- 1. Presentation - Continued. the area encompassed, and to delete some
areas that were primarily residential;
went through a process for the prelimi-
nary plan; they were now in the final
redevelopment plan; that an EIR and a
report on the redevelopment plan was
being prepared; that various documents
would be forthcoming in the next few
months; and presented maps on the black-
board of the project areas.
Ms. Martha Nessel, Katz Hollis, further
recapped the process: 7/22/88 the City
Council adopted the Resolution to
create a survey area to determine if a
redevelopment project within particular
boundaries was justified and needed; on
11/19/87 the Planning Commission selected
the project boundaries on that survey
area and designated the 1987-88 basis;
4/88 the Redevelopment Agency adopted a
Resolution that accepted it for 1988-89
and received the preliminary plan that
had been adopted by the Planning
Commission, and instructed staff to pre-
pare a redevelopment plan; various data
had been accumulated to evaluate blight
conditions in the project area; that the
Calif. Redevelopment Law criteria to
establish blight falls under three main
components: physical, social and economic
which have an adverse impact on the
general health, welfare and safety of the
community and are grounds for redevelop-
ment to mitigate such conditions and sti-
mulate the economy of the blighted areas.
She summarized the blight findings in
their survey: of the approximate 392
buildings in the project area, 180 are
46% in good condition; 151 are 39% in
need of minor rehabilitation; 42 or 11%
are in need of major rehabilitation; 19
or 5% are in need of extensive
reconstruction; conditions of the commer-
cial buildings; that the most outstanding
adverse physical condition from the sur-
vey appeared to be the circulation system;
that out of approximately 14 major inter-
sections in the project area, six were
considered by the S.S.F. Police Dept. to
be high accident and risk intersections.

1. Presentation - Continued. She spoke of the social conditions in the
project area: that the crime figure was
the most outstandin9 feature; that
60% of households in the project area
qualify by HUD standards as low compared
to that Countywide; that the unemployment
rate was 6% compared to 4% Countywide,
etc.
She spoke of reports that would be forth-
coming and had to be transmitted to the
affected tax agencies and will form the
basis to assess any financial detriments
they believe this project will cause for
the fiscal review process to begin. She
stated that the process is generally
within 15 days, and the taxing agencies
may call for the creation of a review
committee; within 30 days they must hold
a hearing; and within 40 days from that
date issue a report.
M/S Teglia/Haffey - To adjourn the
meeting.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
