On September 13, 2010, the Agency conducted a work session for review and input on the Draft Implementation Plan. Staff recommends the Agency conduct the required public hearing and adopt the resolution to adopt the 2010 -2014 Implementation Plan. BACKGROUND Analysis State law requires all redevelopment agencies adopt five -year implementation plans covering the goals and objectives in project areas for both housing and non - housing activities. The current cycle of plans must be in place by December 31, 2010 and discusses fiscal years 2009 -10 through 2013- 14. The 2010 -2014 Implementation Plan (Plan) covers all three of the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency's project areas and affordable housing. The Plan contains projects and programs to enhance the City's image, support local businesses, prevent blight and improve the quality of life. Some projects identified in this Plan include the implementation of the Downtown Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy, development of San Leandro Crossings, EBMUD, Albertsons, Town Hall Square, and Kaiser Permanente's retail site, and preparation of a Specific Plan for Marina Boulevard. As recommended by the Agency at last week's work session, the Plan was revised to include the facilitation of technology infrastructure enhancements, such as high -speed internet services to underserved business districts.
