BACKGROUND
On June 12, 2007, the City Council introduced and passed to second reading an ordinance to
describe the Redevelopment Agency's program to acquire real property by eminent domain.
State Senate Bill 53 which took effect January 1, 2007 requires the ordinance to be adopted
before July 1, 2007. The property acquisition process is included in the attached Exhibit "A"
which describes the Agency's SB53 Program.
Specifically, the program details that in the event eminent domain is necessary, the Santa Clarita
Redevelopment Agency is required as a public agency to follow a process by state law before a
property can be acquired. Certain conditions are also identified within the program and must be
met before the Agency can initiate property acquisitions.
No specific properties within the Newhall Redevelopment Project Area are identified within the
Adopted:S
Agency's SB53 Program. Additionally, the program re -states that the Agency does not have
residential eminent domain authority.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
