FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and
declares as follows:
A. On July 2, 1973, by Ordinance No. 1173, the City Council of the
City of Santa Ana ("City Council") approved and adopted a redevelopment plan for the
Central City Redevelopment Project ("Central City Project"); and

redevelopment plan for the North Harbor Redevelopment Project ("North Harbor

H. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is vested
with the responsibility to carry out the Existing Plans.
I. The Agency desires to amend each of the Existing Plans ("Amendments") to
merge the Project Areas in order to combine the tax increment revenues from the
Project Areas and reallocate the revenues to and among the entire merged Project Area
that will best facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas through increased economic
vitality and increase and improve housing opportunities; and
J. California Health and Safety Code section 33385 (Community
Redevelopment Law - "CRL") requires that a Project Area Committee (PAC) be formed
if:
(1) A substantial number of low income persons or moderate income persons, or
both, reside within the project area, and the redevelopment plan as adopted
will contain authority for the agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property
on which any persons reside;
(2) The redevelopment plan as adopted contains one or more public projects that
will displace a substantial number of low income persons or moderate income
persons, or both; and
K. California Health and Safety Code Section 33385.3 requires, in part:
(a)
If a project area committee does not exist, and the agency proposes to
amend a redevelopment plan, the agency shall establish a project area
committee pursuant to Section 33385 if the proposed amendment to a
redevelopment plan would do either of the following:
(1 )
Grant the authority to the agency to acquire by eminent domain
property on which persons reside in a project area in which a
substantial number of low and moderate-income persons reside.
Add territory in which a substantial number of low and moderate-
income persons reside and grant the authority to the agency to
acquire by eminent domain property on which persons reside in the
added territory.
(2)
L. The Bristol Corridor Project does not currently contain the authority to use
eminent domain as that authority has expired; and
M. The Agency currently has eminent domain authority within the Central City
Project, Inter-City Project, North Harbor Project, South Harbor and South Main Project
which will not be impacted by the proposed Amendments; and
N. The proposed Amendments do not grant additional eminent domain authority
within the Project Areas or add territory to the Project Areas.

Section 2. In recognition of the Agency's existing authority to use eminent
domain in portions of the Project Areas as described in the Existing Plans, the City
Council hereby finds and determines that, because the proposed Amendments are a
merger for economic reasons only and will not grant additional eminent domain
authority or add territory to the Project Areas, a Project Area Committee need not be
formed in connection with the proposed Amendments.
Section 3. As a means of complying with other requirements of CRL Sections
33385 and 33385.3, the City Council directs that Agency staff meet with residents,
property owners, business owners, and existing civic and business organizations within
the Project Areas, as appropriate, to discuss the Amendments and to receive input from
residents, property owners, businesses and members of those organizations.
Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
ADOPTED this 15th day of March, 2004.
