The implementation of the Amendment (and the other amendments <br />causing the merger) will promote the public peace, health, safety and <br />welfare of the City of Santa Ana and will effectuate the purposes and <br />policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that the Amendment <br />is and will be of substantial benefit to the community and contribute to the <br />revitalization of blighted areas through increased economic vitality of such <br />areas, and increased and improved housing opportunities, in particular the <br />financial benefits and feasibility of the Merged Project Area that will accrue <br />due to the merger. <br />B. The carrying out of the Amendment would promote the public peace, <br />health, safety and welfare of the City and would effectuate the purposes <br />and policies of the CRL. This finding is based on the fact that <br />redevelopment will benefit the Project Area and the Merged Project Area <br />as a whole by correcting conditions of blight and by coordinating public <br />and private actions to stimulate development and improve the economic <br />and physical conditions of the Merged Project Area including the Project <br />Area. <br />C. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is economically sound <br />and feasible. This finding is based on the fact that under the Existing Plan <br />Ordinance No. NS -2667 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />
