Special Meeting Community Improvement Commission October 3, 2006 1 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.
