WHEREAS, all actions required by law have been taken by

NOW , THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ALEDA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1 That the purpose and intent of the City
Council with respect to the proj ect Area is to accomplish the
following: (a) the elimination of blighting influences and
the correction of environmental deficiencies in the proj ect
Area, including, among others, buildings in which it is unsafe
or unhealthy for persons to live or work , small and irregular
lots, faulty exterior spacing, obsolete and aged building
types, mixed character or shifting uses or vacancies,
incompatible and uneconomic land uses, substandard alleys, and
inadequate or deteriorated public improvements, facilities
and utilities; (b) the assembly of land into parcels suitable
for modern, integrated development with improved pedestrian
and vehicular circulation in the proj ect Area; (c) the
replanning, redesign , and development of portions of the
Project Area which are stagnant or improperly utilized; (d)
the provision of opportunities for participation by owners and
tenants in the revitalization of their properties; (e) the
strengthening of the economic base of the proj ect Area and the
community by the installation of needed site improvements to
stimulate new residential, commercial, and light industrial
expansion , employment, and social and economic growth; (f) the
provision of adequate land for parking and open spaces;
(g)
the establishment and implementation of performance criteria
to assure high site design standards and environmental quality
and other design elements which provide unity and integrity to
the entire Project; and (h) the expansion , improvement , and
preservation of the community s supply of housing available to
low- and moderate-income persons and families.
Section 2
that:
The City Council hereby finds and determines
(a) The Project Area is a blighted area the
redevelopment of which is necessary to effectuate the public
purposes declared in the California Community Redevelopment
Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.
).
This
finding is based upon the following facts, as more
particularly set forth in the Report of the CIC to the City
Council:
(1) The Project Area is characterized by and
suffers from a combination of blighting conditions , including,
among others: buildings that are deteriorated and
dilapidated; buildings suffering from defects in design or
physical construction; buildings with serious building codeviolations; buildings which have faulty or inadequate
infrastructure; buildings which are substandard in design and
have inadequate parking; buildings that are too large or too
small given present standards and market conditions; aged and
obsolete buildings; buildings that will have to be demolished;
incompatible uses; buildings on land that, when subdivided or
when infrastructure is installed, will not comply with
community subdivision, zoning or planning regulations; and
properties currently served by infrastructure that does not
meet existing adopted utility or community infrastructure
standards.
(2) The combination of the
to in paragraph (1) above is so prevalent
that it causes a reduction of , or lack of
conditions referred
and so substant ial
proper utilization
of the proj ect Area to such an extent that it constitutes a
serious physical and economic burden on the City which cannot
reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by privateenterprise or governmental action or both, without
redevelopment.
(b) The Plan will redevelop the Project Area in
conformity with the Community Redevelopment Law and in the
interests of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare.
This finding is based upon the fact that redevelopment of the
Project Area will implement the objectives of the Community
Redevelopment Law by: aiding in the elimination and
correction of the conditions of blight; providing for
planning, development, redesign, clearance, reconstruction , or
rehabilitation of properties which need improvement;
improving, increasing, and preserving the supply of low- and
moderate-income housing within the community; providing
additional employment opportunities; and providing for higher
economic utilization of potentially useful land.
(c) The adoption and carrying out of the Plan
economically sound and feasible. This finding is based on the
facts, as more particularly set forth in the Report of the CIC
to the City Council, that under the Plan the CIC will be
authorized to seek and utilize variety of potential
financing resources, including tax increments; that the nature
and timing of public redevelopment assistance will depend onthe amount and availability of such financing resources,
including tax increments generated by new investment in the
proj ect Area; and that under the Plan no public redevelopment
activity will be undertaken unless the CIC can demonstrate
that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity.
(d) The carrying out of the Plan would promote the
public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the City. of
Alameda and will effectuate the purposes and policy of the
Community Redevelopment Law. This finding is based upon the
fact that redevelopment, as contemplated by the Plan , will
benefit the Project Area by correcting conditions of blight
and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate
development and improve the physical and economic conditions
of the proj ect Area
(e) The condemnation of real property, as provided
for in the Plan, is necessary to the execution of the Plan
and adequate provisions have been made for the payment for
property to be acquired as provided by law. This finding is
based upon the need to ensure that the provisions of the Plan
will be carried out and to prevent the recurrence of blight.
(f) The CIC has a feasible method and plan for the
relocation of families and persons who ay be displaced,
temporarily or permanently, from housing facilities in the
proj ect Area. This finding is based upon the fact that the
CIC's plan for relocation, as contained in the Report of the
CIC to the City Council , and the Plan provide for relocation
assistance and benefits according to law and authorize the CIC
to rovide other assistance as determined to be appropriate
under the circumstances.
(g)
There are, or shall be provided, within the
proj ect Area or wi thin other areas not generally less
desirable with regard to public utilities and public and
commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the
financial means of the families and persons who may
displaced from the proj ect Area, decent, safe, and sanitary
dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to
such displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible
to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the
fact that in the event any residential displacement is caused
by the Plan , no person or family will be required to move from
any dwelling unit until suitable replacement housing is
available.
(h) Families and persons shall not be displaced
prior to the adoption of a relocation plan pursuant to
Sections 33411 and 33411.1 of the Community Redevelopment Law;
and dwelling units housing persons and families of low or
moderate income within the Project Area shall not be removed
or destroyed prior to the adoption of a replacement housing
plan pursuant to Sections 33334.5, 33413, and 33413.5 of the
Community Redevelopment Law.
(i) Inclusion of any lands, buildings,
improvements in the proj ect Area which are not detrimental to
the public health , safety, or welfare is necessary for the
effective redevelopment of the entire area of which they are
part; and any area included is necessary for effective
redevelopment and is not included for the purpose of obtainingthe allocation of tax increment revenues from such area
pursuant to Section 33670 of the Community Redevelopment Law
without other substantial justification for its inclusion.
This finding is based upon the fact that all the properties
within the Project Area are within the boundaries of the areaspecifically designated in the Special Base Closure
Legislation as the properties affected by the base closure and
that in order to effectively redevelop the proj ect Area as a
unified whole, all properties within the Project Area must be
included.
(j)
The elimination of blight and the redevelopment
of the proj ect Area could not reasonably be expected to be
accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without the
aid and assistance of the CIC. This finding is based upon the
facts, as more particularly set forth in the Report of the CIC
to the City Council , that because of the higher costs and more
significant risks associated with development of blighted
areas and, in particular, blighted areas that were former
military bases, individual developers are unable and unwilling
to invest in these areas without substantial 'public assistance
and that funds of other public sources and programs are
insufficient to eliminate the blighting conditions.
(k) The time limitations in the Plan, which are the
maximum time limitations authorized under the Community
Redevelopment Law and the limitation on the number of dollars
to be allocated to the CIC are reasonably related to the
proposed proj ects to be implemented in the proj ect Area and
the ability of the CIC to eliminate blight within the proj ect
Area. This finding is based upon the facts that redevelopment
depends, in large part, upon private market forces beyond the
control of the CIC and shorter time limitations would impair
the CIC'ability to be flexible and respond to market
conditions as and when appropriate and would impair the CIC'
ability to maintain development standards and controls over a
period of time sufficient to assure area stabilization.
addition, shorter time limitations would limit the revenue
sources and financing capacity necessary to carry out proposed
proj ects in the proj ect Area.
(1) The effect of tax increment financing will not
cause a significant financial burden or detriment on any
taxing agency deriving revenues from the proj ect Area. This
finding is based on the fact that the CIC shall make payments
to any affected taxing agencies in accordance with Section
33607.5 of the Community Redevelopment Law.
Section The Council is satisfied that permanent
housing facilities will be available within three (3) years
from the time occupants of the proj ect Area are displaced and
that, pending the development of the facilities, there will be
available to the displaced occupants adequate temporary
housing facilities at rents comparable to those In the
community at the time of their displacement.
Section 4 In order to implement and facilitate the
effectuation of the Plan, certain official actions must be
taken by the City Council; accordingly, the City Council
hereby: (a) pledges its cooperation in helping to carry out
the Plan; (b) directs the various officials, departments,
boards, and agencies of the City of Alameda having
administrative responsibilities in the Project Area likewise
to cooperate to such end and to exercise their respective
functions and powers in a manner consistent with the Plan; (c)
stands ready to consider and take appropriate action on
proposals and measures designed to effectuate the Plan; and
(d) declares its intention to undertake and complete any
proceeding, including the expenditure of moneys, necessary to
be carried out by the City under the provisions of the Plan.
Section The Council is satisfied that written
findings have been adopted in response to each written
objection received from affected taxing entities or property
owners either before or at the noticed public hearing. Having
considered all evidence and testimony presented for or against
any aspect of the Plan, the Council hereby overrules all
wri t ten and oral obj ections to the Plan.

opportunities from time to time presented for redevelopment , this Plan does not
present a precise plan or establish specific projects for the redevelopment
rehabiltation, and revitalization of any area within the Project Area , nor does this
Plan present specific proposals in an attempt to solve or alleviate the concerns and
problems of the community relating to the Project Area. Instead, this Plan presents

(9302J Participation Opportunities; Extension of Preferences
for Reentry Within Redeveloped Project Area
(9303J Opportunities for Owners and Business Tenants
In accordance with this Plan and the rules for participatio
