Commissioner Daysog discussed legislation pertaining to eminent
domain.
Commissioner Matarrese stated the process makes sense as long as
the notification and outreach for General Plan amendments in
redevelopment areas are fully understood; the public needs to
understand General Plan changes will be reflected in the
redevelopment plan; requested that the process include outreach
beyond just notification, particularly on boundary changes and land
acquisition.
The Development Services Director stated in the past, people
assumed everything is in sync after the General Plan was amended
and were confused when the redevelopment plan also had to be
revised.
Commissioner Matarrese moved adoption of the resolution.
Commissioner Gilmore seconded the motion, which carried by
unanimous voice vote – 5.
ADJOURNMENT

Special Meeting at 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Lara Weisiger
