H. The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is vested
with the responsibility to carry out the Existing Plans.

Area that will best facilitate the revitalization of blighted areas through economic vitality
and increase and improve housing opportunities.
J. CRL requires that the Agency and the City Council hold a joint public
