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.
