(a) Upon the record accumulated during the
redevelopment plan adoption process, the
record of the joint public hearing on the
Proposed Plan, including all testimony
received at the joint public hearing, the
Report of the Agency to the Council, all
studies and data supporting said records
and Report, and the Final Environmental
Impact Report for SAVI Ranch and Shorb
Wells, the Project Area is a blighted
area, the redevelopment of which is
necessary to effectuate the public
purposes declared in the Community
Redevelopment Law of the State of
California, to wit:
(i) The Project Area contains blight, as
the same is defined in the
California Redevelopment Law, which
constitutes physical, social and
economic liabilities requiring
redevelopment in the interest of the
health, safety, and general welfare
of the people of the City of Anaheim;
(ii) The Project Area is characterized by
properties which suffer from
economic dislocation and disuse
because of the existence of:
(1) Lots or other areas which are
subject to being submerged by
water;
(2) Inadequate public improvements,
public facilities, open spaces
and utilities;
all of which cannot be remedied by
private or governmental action
without redevelopment and a
prevalence of depreciated values,
impaired investments and social and
economic maladjustment, all
contributing to the reduced capacity
to pay taxes; and
(iii) The lack of proper utilization of
the Project Area has resulted in a
stagnant unproductive condition of
land potentially useful and valuable
for contributing to the public
health, safety, and welfare by
providing employment opportunities
for jobless, underemployed and low
income persons;

the relocation of families and persons to
be temporarily or permanently displaced
from housing facilities in the Project

decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal
in number to the number available to such
