and is consistent with the implementation plan adopted pursuant to
Section 33490.

The properties that comprise the Tustin Library Project site are a blighting
influence on the Redevelopment Project area exhibiting both physical and
economic blight reflected by a combination of conditions including, but not

incompatible uses inhibiting economic development of those parcels and
other portions of the project area, and low lease rates resulting in stagnant
property values and impaired investments in the project area.

construction of a new publicly owned library facility; and
F.
The Project will entail acquisition of land, demolition of existing structures,
design and installation of on-site, off-site improvements, including new

Application which is on file in the City Manager's office, and is incorporated
herein by this reference.)
