8 I 8 their minds. The Real Estate Manager stated that on January 7,1984, the Agency had executed a Disposition and Development Agreement with Lowy Development Corporation for assemblage of the 3.3 acre site for a phased commercial complex, totaling 150,000 square feet. He pointed out that the site is zoned for civic development and is an integral component in the redevelopment of the area, due to its proximity to the Civic Center and new development to the east and the south. He added that the subject parcels are in the center of the site on the Santa Ana Boulevard frontage and are critical as the only portion of the site still to be acquired. He stated that the A-13 Site was comprised primarily of old, substandard housing or business uses that did not represent the highest and best use of the property. He added that all displacees will receive full relocation assistance and benefits and pointed out that 60% of the tenant or renter displacees from this site have been able to purchase homes with the relocation assistance provided them. He stated that an offer of just compensation had been presented to the owners of record. Chairman Griset then asked for those who wished to address the Agency to step to the podium and to limit their comments to five minutes and keep in mind the requirements of Section 1245.125 of the Code of Civil Procedure and that comments should only address the following four issues: 1. Whether the public interest and necessity require the project; 2. Whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; 3. Whether the properties sought to be acquired are necessary for the project; 4. Whether an offer, as required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code, has been made to the record owner. There being no one who wished to speak for or against the proposed condemnation, the Chairman declared the Public Hearing closed and stated that a motion to adopt the Resolution Nos. 85-35 and 85-36 was in order. It was then moved by Mr. Luxembourger, seconded by Mr. Hart and carried unanimously (7:0) that the Agency adopt Resolution 85-35: A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1006-1008 WEST SANTA ANA BOULEVARD, IN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA FOR REDEVELOPMENT PURPOSES, AND DECLARING THE PUBLIC NECESSITY THEREFOR. -3-
