AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH CONTAINING A DESCRIPTION OF THE UKIAH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY'S PROGRAM TO ACQUIRE REAL PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN IN THE UKIAH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA WHEREAS: 1. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 895 on November 15, 1989, approving and adopting the Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan") for the Ukiah Redevelopment Project (the "Project"); and 2. The Ukiah Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency"), has been designated as the official redevelopment agency in the City of Ukiah to carry out the functions and requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) and to implement the Redevelopment Plan; and 3. The Redevelopment Plan contains Agency authority to acquire property by eminent domain, but that authority has not been exercised by the Agency since the Plan was adopted; and 4. Section 33342.7 of the Health and Safety Code, which took effect on January 1, 2007, requires a legislative body that adopted a redevelopment plan containing eminent domain authority before January 1, 2007, to adopt an ordinance on or before July 1, 2007, containing a description of the agency's program to acquire real property by eminent domain. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Pursuant to Section 33342.7 of the Health and Safety Code, a description of the Agency's program to acquire real property by eminent domain is described as follows: The Agency lacks the power to acquire property by eminent domain, because it did not exercise that power within 12 years after the Plan was adopted. Under Health & Safety.Code §33333.2(a)(4), the power cannot be exercised after the 12 year time limit, unless the Agency amends the plan and finds, based on substantial evidence, that significant blight remains in the project area and that blight cannot be eliminated without the use of eminent domain. If the Agency determines that it is necessary to exercise the power of 3a eminent domain to remedy blighted conditions in the redevelopment project area, it will amend the plan in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Law. It will not use the power of eminent domain to acquire residential property. The Agency's program to acquire real property by eminent domain may be amended only by amending the Redevelopment Plan pursuant to Article 12 of the Community Redevelopment Law (commencing with Health and Safety Code Section 33450). Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this Ordinance to the Agency. Section 3. If any part of this Ordinance is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision sha11 not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance, and this City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted. Section 4.
