ProDosed Southeast Industrial Park RedeveloDment Proiect Area
Plan Amendment - Eminent Domain
BACKGROUND:
At the Redevelopment Committee meeting of October 21, 1999, a discussion was held regarding
amending the Agency's existing Redevelopment Project Areas to extend the ability to use eminent
domain when necessary. As a consequence, the Committee directed Staff to evaluate the need to re-
establish the power of eminent domain in selected Project Areas. Staff and Special Counsel surveyed
each Project Area considering the need and potential for future development. Based upon that
survey, it was recommended that the following Project Areas be considered for amendment to extend
the power of eminent domain:
. Central City North - The Entire Project Area
. Uptown - The Entire Project Area
. Central City East - The Entire Area, Except Government Buildings
. Meadowbrook - The Entire Area Project Area
. Central City South - The Entire Project Area
On January 24, 2000, the Community Development Commission authorized the Executive Director to
prepare plan amendments to reinstate eminent domain in those Project Areas recommended by the
Committee.
On July 13, 2000, the Redevelopment Committee, realizing that the Agency would lose its powers of
eminent domain in the Mt. Vernon Corridor Redevelopment Project Area by June of 2002, voted to
recommend to the Commission that the plan for that Project Area be amended to extend the powers of
eminent domain. On August 7, 2000, the Commission authorized the Executive Director to prepare a
plan amendment to extend eminent domain in the Mt. Vernon Corridor Redevelopment Project Area.
On March 18, 2002, based on the recommendation of the Redevelopment Committee, the
Commission voted to authorize the initiation of a plan amendment to reinstate eminent domain over
non-residentially designated property in the State College Redevelopment Project Area.
As of today, the Redevelopment Plans for the Central City East, Central City South, Meadowbrook
and the Mt. Vernon Corridor Redevelopment Projects have been successfully amended. Plan
amendments for the State College, Uptown and Central City North Projects are well underway. It is
currently anticipated that the public hearing to consider the State College plan amendment will be
held in February of2003.

However, because of issues related to environmental assessment and the formation of Project Area
Committees, the Uptown and Central City North plan amendments most likely will not be presented
for Council/Commission consideration until the Fall of2003.
CURRENT ISSUE:
As previously acknowledged by the Commission, the Agency has lost its powers of eminent domain
in the Southeast Industrial Park Redevelopment Project Area. Because of problems in the Southeast
Industrial Park including impaired investments, stagnant lease rates, underutilization of commercial
sites and incompatible land uses vis-a-vis current market directions, the Mayor has directed Staff to
seek Committee/Commission consideration of amending the Redevelopment Plan for the area to
reinstate the powers of eminent domain. On November 7, 2002, the Redevelopment committee
considered the matter and voted to recommend to the Commission that it authorize the Executive
Director to prepare a plan amendment to reinstate eminent domain in the Southeast Industrial Park
Redevelopment Project Area.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimate - $35,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Development Commission authorize the Executive Director to prepare a plan
amendment to reinstate eminent domain in the Southeast Industrial Park Redevelopment Project
Area.
