Redevelopment Plan Amendment--Rodeo Redevelopment Area
Page 2
BACKGROUND
The Rodeo Redevelopment Plan seeks to facilitate economic development, stimulate
and attract private investment, create employment opportunities for area residents,
improve public'facilities and infrastructure, and to expand and improve the supply of
affordable housing in the Project Area.
The Rodeo Redevelopment Protect Area Plan was adopted in 1990 and included the
power of Eminent Domain. California Redevelopment Law mandates that the ability for
a Redevelopment Agency to use Eminent Domain in a Project Area must be renewed
every 12 years. The Rodeo Redevelopment Project Area must reexamine and renew
the Eminent Domain powers this year per Redevelopment Law,
The process for eminent domain extension will actively involve the Rodeo community.
The Agency will work through the Rodeo MAC and the MAC Redevelopment
subcommittee to determine recommendations for the extension of eminent domain. The
Agency will also host a community meeting to answer any questions related to the
powers of eminent domain and its relationship to the Rodeo Redevelopment Plan.
The process will include two more Board/Agency actions including a consent item to fix
a date for a joint public hearing with the Board of Supervisors and the Redevelopment
Agency. The public hearing before the Board/Agency regarding the extension of
eminent domain powers in Rodeo is anticipated to occur on May 21, 2002.

Community Redevelopment Law, should serve as the Lead Agency, and the Agency should
serve as the "Responsible Agency;"

documentation for the proposed Plan Amendment(the"Negative Declaration").

authority to the Agency to acquire by eminent domain property on which a substantial number of
low and moderate income persons reside. Therefore,pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
