SUBJECT. (1)Authorizing proceeding with an amendment to the Redevelopment Flan for
the Bay Point(formerly West Pittsburg)Redevelopment Project extending the
power of eminent domain for twelve years, (2)designating the County as the Lead
Agency and the Redevelopment Agency as the Responsible Agency for the
environmental review process for the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan

The Contra.Costa County Board of Supervisors RESOLVES THAT:
The Board of Supervisors (the "Board")of the County of Contra Costa(the "County")
adapted the Bay Point Redevelopment flan by Ordinance No. 87-102, adopted on December 29,
1987, and subsequently amended by Ordinance No. 94-64 on December 6, 1994 and Ordinance
No. 99-05 on February 23, 1999(the "Redevelopment Plan").
During the course of Redevelopment Plan implementation by the Contra Costa County
Redevelopment Agency(the "Agency"),it has become apparent that in order to effectively
redevelop the existing Bay Point Redevelopment Project Area(the"Project Area"), an
amendment to the Redevelopment flan is necessary and appropriate to extend the deadline to
commence eminent domain proceedings by twelve years(the "flan Amendment").
Section 15050 of the California:Environmental Quality Act Guidelines(the "CEQA
Guidelines")requires that when a project requiring environmental documentation is to be carried
out or approved by more than one public agency,one public agency(the "Lead Agency") shall
be responsible for preparing the environmental documentation for the project. Section 15051 of
the CEQA Guidelines provides that where two or more public agencies have a substantial claim
to be the Lead Agency, the public agencies may by agreement designate one of the agencies as
the Lead Agency. The Agency and the County have agreed that the County, as the legal entity
with final authority to approve and adopt the Plan Amendment pursuant to the California
Community Redevelopment Law, should serve as the Lead Agency, and the Agency should
serve as the "Responsible Agency."
The County anticipates preparing a negative declaration as the environmental
documentation for the proposed Plan Amendment(the "Negative Declaration").
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33385.5,the Agency is required to forward a
copy of the proposed Plan Amendment to the existing Bay Point Project Area Committee.
Pursuant to the California,Environmental Quality Act, the County is required to distribute
the Negative Declaration to all affected taxing entities,the County Planning Commission, and
various other interested persons and entities.
