2.Q. This Item removed from the Consent Calendar to be considered at this time. AMENDMENTS TO SURVEY AREA --101 CORRIDOR PROJECT --- THE COUNCIL TO AMEND THE SURVEY AREA BOUNDARY THAT WAS APPROVED ON MAY 23, 1994 (THE FIRST STEP IN THE DESIGNATION OF A REDEVELOPMENT AREA.) In response to Councilman Sanfilipo's questions regarding the extended boundaries, City Manager Everett stated that the proposed extended boundary area (bounded by Bay Road, Fifth Avenue, the City limits and Second Avenue) would provide flexibility to the City and Redevelopment Agency when considering use of the land. Councilman Sanfilipo expressed concerns about extending the boundaries of the Survey Area and the negative impact on the affected property that action would have. Councilman Sanfilipo stated that the City should be very careful not to get into the real estate business. Redevelopment Agency Director Church showed an overhead of the proposed extended Survey Area and the proposed boundary change along Redwood Creek. Director Church advised that once the Council established a Survey Area, the boundary is then referred to the Planning commission which might or might not make a recommendation for a proposed Redevelopment Project Area; a project area cannot go beyond the boundaries of the Survey Area. The Redevelopment Agency can then offer incentives to businesses if the subject property is in the Redevelopment Area. Councilwoman La Berge stated that the proposed new southern boundary area qualified for inclusion in the Redevelopment area as it was in an industrial area and it was blighted. Councilwoman La Berge encouraged her colleagues to take advantage of this opportunity to provide flexibility for the future. Councilman Sanfilipo stated that extending the Survey Area would lead to more blight and no one would want to move or buy into that area, similarly to what happened on El Camino Real. Director Church described inquiries the Redevelopment Agency had received from developers interested in property in that area, and a counter argument could be made that putting this land into a Survey Area was beneficial at this time.
