A. On November 6, 1995, the city coun- cil approved the designation of a survey area to study the potential for a West San Leandro/MacArthur Boulevard Redevelop- ment project area. The city council found that the West San Leandro/MacArthur Boulevard survey area exhibited economic and physical blighting conditions sufficient to warrant further study. B. In November of 1996, the city coun- cil appointed a citizen advisory committee to gather information and determine whether redevelopment would be an effective tool to improve the survey area to help San Leandro maintain a competitive edge in the regional economy. The committee consisted of stakeholders within and around the study area including members of the business community, property owners, bankers, bro- kers and others with development expertise. C. In October of 1997, the committee presented its preliminary report to the coun- cil for consideration. The council approved the committee's recommendation to under- take a series of public outreach meetings and incorporate the concerns and suggestions raised in these meetings into its final report. D. On May 12, 1998, the final report of the citizen advisory committee was present- ed to the council. It recommended that the city, acting as the redevelopment agency, proceed with establishing a redevelopment project area. A redevelopment advisory committee (RAC) was elected in December of 1998 to assist in the redevelopment plan- ning process. E. The selection of project area bounda- ries were guided by: 1. Physical and economic conditions in the project area, 2. Requirements of Community Rede- velopment Law Section 33320.1 which re- quires that project areas be blighted and pre- dominantly urbanized, 97 (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05)
