Sullivan Sullivan, Workman & Dee Twelfth Floor 800 South Figueroa Street Los Angeles, CA 90017-2521 SubJect: Proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Project AMT Partners, 420-430 West 17th Street Dear Mr. Sullivan: This letter is in response to your letter of October 13, 1989, in which you delineate your clients' objection to having their subject property included in the proposed project area and deny the existence of blight tn the project area. As described in detail in the Agency's Report to City Council on the subject project, the project area qualifies as a blighted area pursuant to the criteria set forth in Article 3 of the California Community Redevelopment Law insofar as it contains any or all of the conditions outlined in Sections 33031 and 33032 of the statute. These conditions include: buildings which suffer from age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, and mixed character or shifting of uses throughout the project area as a whole; the existence of inadequate public improvements and facilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment; and a prevalence of ~epreciated values, impaired investments, and social and economntc maladjustment. Certain individual properties within the project area may not be deteriorated properties. These properties have been included: 1) in order to plan and carry out the project as a uniform whole; 2) because such properties are impacted by the substandard conditions existing on surrounding properties, and correction of such conditions may require the imposition of design, development, or use requirements on the standard properties in the event they are rehabilitated or redeveloped by their owners; 3) because such properties will share in the physical, social and economic benefits which will accrue to the area through the elimination of substandard conditions, including the replacement or provision of new public improvements and facilities servlng the project area; and 4) b'ecause such properties are part of a blighted area.
