" , . ,. An important objective of the project is the removal of blight under the Community Redevelopment Law. Where the removal of blight is concerned, the location of the project is determined, quite simply by where the blight is found. - The property described in the Resolutions is necessary for the proposed project. The attached plans showing the subject parcels and the proposed site plan of the shopping center illustrate that these two ownerships are necessary to the project. Both parcels are adjacent to vehicle entrances to the shopping center. Both parcels are contaminated with toxics that the RWQCB has ordered to be cleaned up, a process that can be taken care of as an incident of the construction of the project. The Greer parcel must be cleared of toxics in order that the adjacent parcel (formerly owned by the Southern Pacific Company) can be cleared of the toxic plume emanating from the Greer parcel. The Syme parcel is necessary for the construction of Building B, and the Greer parcel is necessary for the construction of Building D. The total square footage of the two parcels is necessary to make the proposed project economic. The acquisition of a fee interest in each parcel is necessary to achieve the objectives stated above. The offer required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has been made. The attached affidavit indicates that notice was given to each person whose property is to be acqui red by emi nent domain and whose name and address appears on the last equalized county assessment roll. This - notice was sent by first class and by certified mail on August 12, 1992 to Mr. and Mrs. Syme, and on August 13, 1992 to the Greer Trust.
