California Community Redevelopment Law restricts the <br />length of time an Agency may hold land for future development to ten <br />years. Currently, the Agency owns five lots that will exceed this <br />deadline during the 2008-09 fiscal year. The lots are located at 626-628 <br />E. Santa Ana Blvd., 809' E. Santa Ana Blvd., 630 N. Garfield St. and 604 <br />N. Lacy St. In order to comply with State law, the Community <br />Redevelopment Agency will sell these properties (Exhibit 1) to the City <br />of Santa Ana for their total appraised value of $373,000. The intent is <br />to ultimately develop these sites in a manner consistent with the <br />surrounding neighborhood. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, this <br />project is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption No. ER <br />2008-138 will be filed for this project. <br />80A-2 <br />
