REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF

ACQUISITON OF REAL PROPERTY BY THE TUSTIN
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE
PUBLIC USES AND PUBLIC PURPOSES OF
REDEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 33391 AND 33037
The Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") of the City of Tustin does
hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Agency finds and determines as follows:
A. The Agency is engaged in implementation of the "Redevelopment Plan"
for the Town Center Area Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment Project");
B. Section 33391 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health &
Safety Code 33000, et seq.: "CRL") authorizes the Agency to purchase, lease, obtain an
option upon, acquire by gift, grant, devise, or otherwise, any real or personal property,
any interest in property and any improvements on it for purposes of redevelopment;
C. Section 33037(c) of the California Health and Safety Code declares as a
policy of the State: "that the redevelopment of blighted areas and the provisions for
appropriate continuing land use and construction policies in them constitutes public
uses and purposes for which public money may be advanced or expended and private
property acquired, and are governmental functions of state concern in the interest of
health, safety, and welfare of the people of the State and of the communities in which
the areas exist."
D. The California Department of Transportation surplus parcel and adjacent
properties located at the southwest corner of Newport Avenue and EI Camino Real in
the Town Center Redevelopment Project Area are a blighting influence on the
commuity, exhibiting both physical and economic blight such as building obsolescence,
dilapidation or deterioration, 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.
E. The payment of funds for the acquisition of the land with the intent to
further redevelopment of the land and adjacent parcels will assist in the elimination of
one or more blighting conditions inside the project area, and is consistent with the
implementation plan adopted pursuant to Section 33490.
F. The proposed acquisition and redevelopment project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15332 (Class
32) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3 (Guidelines for California
Environmental Quality Act).
II. The Agency hereby finds and determines, based upon substantial evidence
provided in the record before it:
A. That the foregoing recitals are true and correct; and
B. That the acquisition of land will assist in the elimination of blight in the
Redevelopment Project area, and is consistent with the implementation plan
adopted by the Agency for the Town Center Area Redevelopment Plan pursuant
to Section 33490 of the CRL.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin Community
Redevelopment Agency held on the19th day of July, 2004.
