Cooper CLERK OF THE COUNCIL lanice C. Guy October 30, 1989 Jeffrey E. Lieber Warner Center Business Park 5850 Canoga Avenue, Suite 400 Woodland Hills, CA 91367 Subject: Proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Project Kassabtan Partnership Property, 1442 Bristol Street Dear Mr. Lieber: This letter is in response to your letter of October 1l, 1989, wherein you delineate your clients' objections to inclusion of their property within the proposed project area. You note that their property was improved approximately two years ago and state that any taking of their property would actually conflict with the goals of the Plan. 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 Co~nunity 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 depreciated values, impaired investments, and social and economnic 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 serving the project area; and 4) because such properties are part of a blighted area.
