Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 20, 1996 Page - 16 - SAN IEANDRO1REDEVEIOPMENT AGENCY MEETING lean in Qu d Mayor Corbett said the Islander Motel is one of the highest areas for service calls; crime occurs consistently, including drug labs and prostitution. She said the issue with the Maskell property is contamination and no incentive to make changes or cleanup. There are areas in San Leandro where they could exist and perhaps even do better. She said the State may come in and require cleanup. She said the area has been looked at many times, and there is no ability to make changes without eminent domain. She noted eminent domain is rarely used. The property owners in the Costco development settled with the City and received fair - market value. She said the Council is very sincere about doing everything possible to find places for people to continue to do business in San Leandro. Vice Mayor Kerr said more information is needed on the hazardous waste problems. He said the intent of eminent domain has been lost; this is not for public use. The City Attorney said the Supreme Court has determined that use of eminent domain in a redevelopment area is a public use. Redevelopment Agencies may sell property they acquire to a developer. The following Motion was then introduced: Minute Order No. 96 -9, City Council Motion Regarding the Matter of Second Amendment to Alameda County - City of San Leandro Redevelopment Plan to Provide for Power of Eminent Domain for Limited Properties in Four Development Nodes in the City of San Leandro Portion of the Project Area.
