EXEMPTION OF PROPERTIES WITHIN BRISTOL CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The purpose of this item was to discuss the possibility of exempting up to 1,050 parcels within the Bristol Corridor Redevelopment area from eminent domain. Discussion centered around a discrepancy in the amount of properties to be exempted in the plan. Agency Member Pulido commented that staff, in a previous memo, stated that the total number of parcels to be exempted was approximately 1,400. The amount of properties to be exempted as listed in the current staff report is 1,050--Agency Member Pulido asked staff for clarification. Robert Hoffman, Redevelopment & Real Estate Kanager, stated that this number was derived by subtracting the properties within the 20 key development sites, properties that are already exempt under the plan as adopted, and the properties that will be affected by the street widening project from the 2,000 total parcels within the project area. . . . Chairman Young asked if there is a map which shows the proposed exempted parcels. Cynthia Nelson, Executive Director/Community Development Agency, replied that a map exists which shows the parcels affected by the Bristol widening (those that are already exempted in the plan), the 20 development sites, and the remaining 1,050 parcels. Agency Member Pulido asked to review the memo at issue in order to clear up this discrepancy. There was further discussion regarding continuing the item to the next Redevelopment Agency meeting. Agency Kember Norton commented on the fact that many people who own property in the Bristol area are worried about this matter and would like to know the status of their property. City Kanager Dave Ream suggested that staff make this map available for review, and to continue this meeting to the next scheduled meeting of the City Council--May 21, 1990, at which time the Agency can take action. After further discussion, it was moved by Agency Member McGuigan, seconded by Agency Member Pulido and carried unanil8Ously (6:0) to continue this item and to adjourn the meeting to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council, May 21, 1990.
