The Community Redevelopment Law of the state of California (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) enables a local government to adopt a redevelopment plan for an area of the community when it deter- mines that the physical, social or economic conditions of that area are such that they constitute blight or blighting influences (as defined by the Redevelopment Law) which neither the public nor private sectors, acting alone, can overcome. The definitions of "blight" cover a broad range of physical, social and economic char- acteristics that adversely impact on a 1.24.010 neighbor hood or community. Examples of such conditions would include deteriorating or insufficient public infrastructure or public facilities, irregular or fragmented parceliza- tion, inappropriate or mixed land uses, and detrimental economic conditions. The city of San Leandro first established a redevelopment project in 1960 to deal with the inadequacies, deterioration and obsoles- cence of public and private buildings and facilities in the heart of the community. The location of this redevelopment project area, originally designated as the Downtown Plaza redevelopment project area and now known as the Plaza l redevelopment project area, is shown on Exhibit 1.24.010(A). As noted in the Plaza 1 redevelopment plan, the intent of the redevelopment project was to "promote and protect the sound rede- velopment of the project area and the result- ing general welfare of the city of San Lean- dro." This was to be accomplished in part by direct actions of the redevelopment agency to improve and expand parking and to de- velop new public facilities and public open spaces. These public actions would in turn create incentives for private rehabilitation, modernization and new development, all in accordance with agency rules and proce- dures intended to expedite such private ac- tions. In 1967 the city established the Plaza 2 redevelopment project area. This original Plaza 2 redevelopment project area was aug- mented by the addition of certain territory in 1974. The added area included the BART parking lot, Lincoln School site, Casa Peralta and the southeast corner of Davis and Clark Streets. The original Plaza 2 pro- ject area together with this first added area is shown as Area 1 on Exhibit 1.24.010(B). 19 (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05)
