The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency has entered into an owner-participation agreement with Heritage Development Company which proposes to construct a commercial office complex in the area of said vacation. 2. The elimination of right of way to be vacated will reduce the number of local traffic intersections and focus traffic flow onto major arterial streets which will facilitate smoother traffic circulation. 3. The vacation as proposed would eliminate current blight in the form of excessive right of way resulting in frequent traffic intersections and would decrease the number of small inefficient blocks.
