On November 6, 1995, the city council approved the designation of a survey area to study the potential for a West San Lean- dro/MacArthur Boulevard Redevelopment project area. The city council found that the West San Leandro/MacArthur Boulevard sur- vey area exhibited economic and physical blighting conditions sufficient to warrant fur- ther study. B. In November of 1996, the city council 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 stake- holders within and around the study area in- cluding members of the business community, property owners, bankers, brokers and others with development expertise. C. In October of 1997. the committee pre- sented its preliminary report to the council for consideration. The council approved the committee's recommendation to undertake a series of public outreach meetings and incor- porate 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 presented 3.04.010 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 planning 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 Redevel- opment Law Section 33320.1 which requires that project areas be blighted and predomi- nantly urbanized, 3. Policies of the general plan of the city of San Leandro, and 4. Direction from the city council plan- ning commission, property owners and citizen advisory groups. F. On September 10, 1998, the planning commission approved a resolution adopting the preliminary plan for the redevelopment plan in accordance with Section 33324 of the Health and Safety Code. G. On March 1, 1999, a preliminary report to affected taxing entities was presented to the redevelopment agency. The report summa- rized staffs findings regarding conditions in the project area (including blight and financial analyses) and contained proposed project in- formation as required by law. The redevelop- ment agency approved the report for distribu- tion to all affected taxing entities. (Ord. 99- 025 § 101. 1999) 3.04.020 General.
