The State College Redevelopment Project, established on Apri127, 1970 and encompassing approximately 1800 acres, is an area in which there is great interest. In recognition of these development trends, it is important for the Agency to have a variety of tools available to assist redevelopment. One of the most effective tools for redevelopment is the power of eminent domain. However, the power of eminent domain in the State College Project Area expired on January 1, 1999. This proposed amendment would reinstate the power of eminent domain for 12 years over only those properties that are within non-residential land use districts in the General Plan or are currently being used for non-residential purposes. This amendment will not affect residentially used or designated property. CURRENT ISSUE Prior to hiring consultants, conducting a public workshop or requesting a joint public hearing before the Mayor and Common Council and the Community Development Commission, the Agency must request that the Community Development Commission initiate this amendment. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT None. FISCAL IMPACT Based on contracts entered into with consultants for the first 5 project area amendments, the costs for this amendment are estimated to be approximately $20,000. Specific cost amounts will be provided to the Committee once consultants are under contract for the work. RECOMME DATION That e Communit~ _.. Director CDC 2002-State College-8minrnt Domain Amendment authorize the initiation of this Amendment. ~N MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 03/18/2002 Agenda Item Number:
