He asked, if General Motors had different plans, why haven't they come in with any type of formal plans for the property? Mr. Miller responded that they have been going through tremendous change since January 1, 1999. They have a whole new management structure. He further noted the average time of a project of this size is over three years. Mr. Gallagher responded that they intend on pursuing an option to extend their lease in 2008. It was noted for the record that there was no objection made, either in person or in writing, from the legal property owner as to adoption of the Resolution of Necessity. The City Attorney clarified that the Redevelopment Agency has before it a Resolution. He pointed out that the Resolution requires four (4) findings: (1) whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; (2) whether the project is planned and located in a manner which will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; (3) whether the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project; and (4) whether the offer made, as required by the Government Code, has been made to the owner of record. He added that, as to those findings of fact and issues of law, the Agency should take into consideration the testimony by Debbie Potter this evening, staff, and the staff report that has been prepared and submitted to the Agency. The Agency may also take official notice of the Redevelopment Plan, the Environmental Impact Report on the Redevelopment Plan, the Negative Declaration which the Agency previously considered and the Resolution associated with that, the "S" Overlay Zoning District that Ms. Potter mentioned, the General Plan of the City of San Leandro, all staff reports related to the Project, as well as the Disposition and Development Agreement with Lloyd Wise Group and all reports associated with that. The Agency may take official notice of all those documents in order to make those findings.
