Community Redevelopment Law allows an agency to amend existing redevelopment plans wi thout requiring the documenting of significant blight or remaining blight findings within the project areas. As part of the process to amend the redevelopment plans, the Community Redevelopment Law requires that specific information regarding the proposed amendment be provided to the affected taxing entities and to the Planning Commission prior to the a.doption of the proposed amendments.

Additionally, State Law requires Planning Commission review of all new ~edevelopmertt plans and amendments to existing plans to determine \--.,,:>nsiatency with the City's General Plan. Since this action does not involve any changes to land uses or land use plans, and the existing plans were determined to be consistent when they were adopted, staff has determined that the proposed action is in conformanoe with ,the General Plan. It is anticipated that the final review and adoption of the environmental document and proposed plan amendments will be considered for ,approval by the City Council and Agency after a public hearing in the summer of 2004. The Draft Negative Declaration is intended to inform public decision makers, other responsible and trustee agencies, and the general public of the potential effects of the proposed project.
