Contact: Beth Lee '!bAVCHELOR, 335-12,56 ATTESTED orlg: Redevelopment Agency P cc: Community Development AGENCY SECRETARY CAG County Counsel Auditor-Controller BY €, , DEPUTY The provision for eminent domain will expire in July 1999 without amendment to the North Richmond Redevelopment Plan. To effectively continue to redevelop the North Richmond community, an amendment to the Redevelopment Plan is necessary and appropriate to extend the deadline to commence eminent domain proceedings by twelve years. The amendment will not add territory to the Project Area, nor grant new authority to Agency. Thus, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33385.3, a project area committee is not required to be formed in connection with the proposed plan amendment. While a project area committee will not be formed, staff will consult with the NTRMAC and interested individuals, property owners, and businesses relative to the preparation, adoption, and implementation of the proposed Plan Amendment. California Redevelopment Law requires a joint public hearing with the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County be conducted. This action authorizes a joint public hearing with the Board on June 8, 1999 at 9:00 a.m. at the Board Chambers, 651 Pine Street, Room 107, Martinez, California for the purposes of considering the Plan Amendment and the Report on the Plan Amendment for the North Richmond Project Area. This action further directs Agency staff to: (1) publish a Legal Notice of the joint public hearing not less than once a week for four successive weeks prior to the public hearing in the West County Times; (2)to mail a copy of the Notice to the last known assessee of each parcel of land in the Project Area designated in the Plan Amendment, at the assessee's last known address as shown on the last equalized assessment roll of Contra Costa County; (3) mail a copy of the Notice to the occupant of each address in the Project Area, thereby providing additional notice to businesses and residents in the Project Area; and (4) mail a copy of the Notice to the governing body of each of the taxing agencies which levies taxes upon any property in the Project Area designated in the proposed Plan Amendment.
