REDEVELOPMENT PLAN <br /> FOR THE WEST SAN LEANDRO /MACARTHUR <br /> BOULEVARD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA <br /> I. [SECTION 100] INTRODUCTION <br /> A. [Section 101 ] Project History <br /> On November 6, 1995, the City Council approved the designation of a Survey Area <br /> to study the potential for a West San Leandro /MacArthur Boulevard Redevelopment <br /> Project Area. The City Council found that the West San Leandro /MacArthur <br /> Boulevard Survey Area exhibited economic and physical blighting conditions <br /> sufficient to warrant further study. <br /> In November of 1996, the City Council appointed a Citizen Advisory Committee to <br /> gather information and determine whether redevelopment would be an effective tool <br /> to improve the survey area to help San Leandro maintain a competitive edge in the <br /> regional economy. The Committee consisted of stakeholders within and around the <br /> study area including members of the business community, property owners, bankers, <br /> brokers and others with development expertise. <br /> In October of 1997, the Committee presented its preliminary report to the Council <br /> for consideration. The Council approved the Committee's recommendation to <br /> undertake a series of public outreach meetings and incorporate the concerns and <br /> suggestions raised in these meetings into its final report. <br /> On May 12, 1998, the Final Report of the Citizen Advisory Committee was <br /> presented to the Council. It recommended that the City, acting as the <br /> Redevelopment Agency, proceed with establishing a redevelopment project area. A <br /> Redevelopment Advisory Committee (RAC) was elected in December of 1998 to <br /> assist in the redevelopment planning process. <br /> WEST SAN LEANDRO/MACARTi -IUR BOULEVARD PAGE 1 <br /> REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA <br /> REV 2999;22399;22599; 32699; 33099;0401991061599161 <br />
