<br />12. What projects are you working on? <br /> <br />There are projects that are being undertaken within the various project areas by the private <br />sector. The Agency's assistance in new development has primarily been in the completion of <br />the downtown lofts. <br /> <br />13. Does a property owner haye obligations when he sells? <br /> <br />The property would go through the same process in selling land in a redevelopment project area <br />that he/she would go through in any sales transaction. <br /> <br />14. How does this Merger affect my property? <br /> <br />In most cases, properties will not be affected as the Agency's assistance to private properties is <br />typically initiated at the owner's request. However,some properties will benefit indirectly from <br />infrastructure improvements or development of public facilities within proximity of a property. <br /> <br />15. Does this have anything to do with the train? <br /> <br />The City originally began the widening of Bristol, which included the section between <br />McFadden and Edinger. After this section was completed the Orange County Transportation <br />Authority (OCT A) announced plans to run light rail connecting the existing train station in Santa <br />Ana to the Orange County Airport. OCT A is continuing to implement their rail plan, which now <br />includes an extension to the Santa Ana College. However, redevelopment, and the Merger <br />specifically, have nothing to do with the proposed rail lines. <br /> <br />16. Is the Agency going to take property through eminent domain? <br /> <br />As stated before the Agency has limited eminent domain authority. If the Agency were to <br />acquire property through eminent domain it would have to following a separate noticing and <br />hearing procedures. In addition, if acquisition were to be proposed the Agency would have to <br />prepare a relocation plan for the existing owners or tenants, which includes identifying potential <br />relocation sites and providing relocation financial assistance. <br /> <br />17. Will taxes be increased? <br /> <br />Taxes are exactly the same if you are inside or outside of a Project Area. There is not an <br />additional or special redevelopment tax. <br /> <br />Supplement to the Report to the City Council for the <br />Merger of the Santa Ana Redevelopment Projects EXHIBIT 4 <br /> <br />Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />PA0408010.SNTA:CK:1p <br />19090.003.007108l26I04 <br /> <br />75D-211 <br />
