12. What projects are you working on? <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 />13. Does a property owner have obligations when he sells? <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 />14. How does this Merger affect my property? <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 />15. Does this have anything to do with the train? <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 (OCTA) announced plans to run light rail connecting the existing train station in Santa <br />Ana to the Orange County Airport. OCTA 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 />16. Is the Agency going to take property through eminent domain? <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 />17. Will taxes be increased? <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 />supplement to the Keport to the city Council for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. <br />Merger of the Santa Ana Redevelopment Projects EXHIBIT 4 Page 6 <br />PA04060103NTAcKJP <br />19090.003.007100 /26104 <br />4 -24 <br />
