On May 4, 2011 the City Council adopted the Expansion Area Amendment by Ordinance No. 1418 adding additional territory to the Merged Project Area, and amending and restating the Redevelopment Plans into a single Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Project Area (“Redevelopment Plan”).

The proposed Housing Agreement does not propose any physical change to the environment itself. The development applications associated with this agreement will be reviewed for CEQA compliance under a separate entitlement and the appropriate environmental document will be prepared to address project specific impacts. Therefore, the proposed Housing Agreement will not have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 4. The Authority hereby approves the proposed Housing Agreement in substantially the form presented at this meeting, with such minor changes as may be approved by the Executive Director with approval as to form by Authority Legal Counsel.
SECTION 5. The Authority hereby authorizes its Executive Director, or designee, to execute the Housing Agreement, execute all documents, and take all actions necessary and convenient to carry out and implement the Housing Agreement, and administer the Authority’s obligations, responsibilities and duties to be performed thereunder.
Resolution No. HA 2022 - 002
SECTION 6. The Authority Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 13th day of July, 2022. _________________________________
