1 tract and in accordance with the land use provisions set forth
2 in the Plan.
3 SECTION IV - REASONS FOR REDEVELOPMENT
4 The redevelopment of the land in Project Area One will eliminate substan-
5 dard structures, most of which are in residential use. The removal of
6 these structures will reduce the blighting influence that they have on the
7 surrounding developments. It will at the same time make additional cen-
8 tral land available for industrial and commercial reu.se..and permit an
9 orderly expansion of the economy of the City in area now partly serviced
10 with facilities related to industrial uses. It will eliminate the mixed

land uses which tend to cause adverse effects on the people residing in
the midst of th",se areas, and which also adVersely affect the economic
strUcture of the community be tending to force logical industrial uses to
move into other sections of the community where they may create harmful
relationships.
SECTION V - LOCAL OB~ECTIVES
The elimination of.blighted areas and the bringing of the uses in these
areas into conformity with the provisions of the Master Plan, the Land
Use Zoning Ordinance and the several other codes related to the protection
of health and safety.
The development of strong, stable areas within which sounder and more
economic physical land use relationships can be achieved, both in the
local area and in the overall City. It will then be possible to provide
for the types of uses logical to the locale without excessive costs to the
users of the land or.to the City. Essential services, such as adequate
street and highway widths and improvements, can be provided on the basis
that these facilities will serve the area for a period of time reasonable
to amortize the costs of the improvemente. Utility lines can be installed
for specific types of land use and will not become obsolete because of
unpredicted and undesirable changes in land use.
Further, the redevelopment will permit the design and improvement of new

streets and highways to standards required by the Master Plan and the Sub-
division Ordinance of the City and will permit the improvement of these
streets and highways with curbs and gutters, sidewalks, street lights,
properly speed fire hydrants, sewers, water lines, gas lines, and the
flood control and drainage structures that are necessary to properly pro-
teet the project area and the surrounding parts of the City.
All of the above improvements will tend to increase the health and safety
of the people of the City as a whole, for most of the residents of the
City at some time traverse the area and are subject to the physical condi-
tions found therein.

Under Section 33701 of the Local Law, suoh owners of property within the
projeot area may be given the opportunity to participate in redeveloping
and using their property in accordance with and in oonformity to the Plan.
In order to do so, they must enter into an Owner Partioipation Agreement
within thirty (30) days (which may be extended up to a total of ninety
(90) days by the Common Counoil of the City) after the adoption of the
Plan by said Counoil. Failure to exeoute such an Agreement will make it
necessary for the Agenoy to prooeed with aoquisition of the property for
redevelopment in the same manner as if no owner partioipation had been
antioipated. All of the above is in aooordance with Section 33102 of the
Local Law.
SECTION VIII - ELIGIBILITY OF THE PROJECT AREA FOR REDEVELOPMENT
A. The project area is a slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating area.
It is a blighted area within the meaning of Sections 33040
through 33044 of the Local Law.
B. The greater part of the redevelopment project area wae developed
to residential use many years ago and the frame structures now
found on the land are, to a large degree, the original structures
to whioh may have been appended additional rooms. Many show
obvious signs of defeotive original construotion and the oondi-
tion of most of these residential buildings is suoh that it
would be unreasonable to expeot th~t they might be brought up to
"
the present Building Code standards' in any way other than through
1/1-;
complete demolition and rebuilding.
Survey Findin~s of Existin~ Conditions
1. A survey and field inspeotion conduoted by the Agenoy during
the planning stage of this projeot reveals that, of a total
of 283., structures, 253 are substandard. Said total struo-
tures ~e classified in the following oategoriesl

* "Substandard" based on the adequacy of the structure,
the facilities within the structure, the occupancy, the
lot size, and the environment.
In the 166 residential structures I
a. There are 241 residential units, of which ~ are vacant.
b. Of the 241 residential units, 203 are eubstandard and 38
are standard when measured without consideration for
environment.
2. The Project Area, lying southeast of and immediately adjacent
to the Central Business District, is an area of mixed land
use. Commeroe and industry are .interspersed with residential
struotures, the oondition o~ whioh is in various stages of
blight and deterioration. Improvements in living oonditions
are almost impossible to aocomplish in this area because of
the deteriorated general environment and the great risks
involved in making loans for modernization or new oonstruotio
The streets, utilities and other faoilities are no longer
residential in service or appearance.
a. Social Reasons for Redevelopment
'The area has become unsuitable for residential use since
the surrounding commercial and industrial developments
have introduoed truoking and freight movements into the
are~, turning the streets into industrial highways,

making it unsafe for children, undesirable from a noise
standpoint, and inviting delinquency because of community
instability.
Further, while there are parks in the nearby areas, these
parks do not serve for the type of recreation needed for
a neighborhood of residential living. The closeness to
the Central Businese District and to employment agencies
for agricultural workers has tended to ~ake the park an
assembly place for the least stable elements of the City's
polulation. While excellent policing has kept the area
relatively free Of criminal activities, there still
remains the fear of exposure to the possibilities of
antisocial activities.
A public school is located somewhat to the south of the
Project Area, but the school is almost entirely engulfed
in industrial development and the Kaster Plan studies
reoommend that the school ultimately be removed. The
sohool population has gradually deolined as the area has
become more intensively used for industrial and commeroial
purposes. Children in the future would have to oross
major highways and other barriers to get to school.
b. Eoonomio Reasons for Redevelopment
The proposed redevelopment would eliminate substandard
and blighted housing and oertain blighted or substandard
non-residential buildings and would provide land for the
orderly expansion of the olose-in commeroial and indus-
trial areas in conformity with the provisions of the
Kaster Plan. This would strengthen the economio base of
the City.
The existing conditions have been found to be a tax lia-
bility while at the same time they oocupy land that oould

be used most profitably and desirably for the industrial
and commercial purposes outlined in the Master Plan and
the Zoning Ordinance. Thus, redevelopment would at once
tend to reduce the liabilities to the City and increase
the potential values in the local and the entire sur-
rounding community. This would promote the prosperity
of the entire City and offer additional employment
opportunities in an area which is close to established,
properly developed residential districts and is served
by mass trans! t.
D. A~enoY Determination
It is the opinion of the Agency and the Planning Commis-
sion that the elimination of substandard residential,
commercial and industrial structures and uses in the
Project Area, and creation of modern, safe and sanitary
commercial and industrial structures and uses in their
place will be beneficial to the City. It will be in the
interest of the health, safety and welfare of people in
the entire City and will carry out the purpose and
objeotives of the Local Law. In addition to creating
more healthful conditions within and surrounding the
Project Area, it is anticipated that the project will
benefit the City through a reduction in the expenditures
of pul11ic funds for services, an,\ through a greater
return to the City in taxes.
SECTION IX - PLANNING PROPOSALS
A. Project Area Plan
The Agency will acquire the property in the project Area (except
where owner participation is involved), clear the land of struc-
tures, install certain site improvements, and sell or lease the
land for uses in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, all pur-
suant to the provisions and requirements of the Local Law.

chased at fair market value; if necessary, however, in cases
where purchase cannot bs negotiated, property will be acquired
by the exercise of the power of eminent domain.
2. Owner Participation
The owners of those properties which maymDjor could be con-
tinued on their present sites and in their present form and
use (with rehabilitation, if necessary and feasible) will, as
indicated in Section VII, be offered Owner Participation
Agreements in order to subject their properties to the con-
troIs and restrictions of the Plan. All property within the
boundaries of the Project Area will be subjected to such con-
troIs and restrictions.
~. Proposed Uses of Land
The Agency will make land available to redevelopers for the
following uses, as shown on Exhibit 4 included herewith and
entitled "Redevelopment Plan".

5.45 acres.
b. Commercial-Manufacturin~
Such uses may inolude all commercial uses permitted by
law in the City and, further, those uses termed "Light
Industrial", within the regulations of the "O_KIt Zoning
Distriot of the Zoning Ordinance of the City (Ordinance

pECTION XII - DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION OF FAMILIES
Approximately one hundred and twenty-one (121) families and other single
persons will be displaced from the Projeot Area by the redevelopment pro-
gram. The Agency, in disoharging its responsibilities under Federal and
Local Laws, will assist such families and single persons to relooate in
decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings reasonably acoessible to their pla-
ces of employment and at rents within their means and oomparable to those
in the oommunity at the time of their displaoement. The Agenoy has pre-
pared and adopted a Relocation Plan for the project whioh indicates that
the resouroes of the oommun4ty are suoh that the Agenoy oan feasibly
relooate all displaoed families into publio or private housing.
SECTION XIII - PROPOSED FINANCING
A. The Agenoy has applied for and proposes to enter into a oontraot
for Loan and Grant with the Federal Government. Pursuant to s110h
oontraot, the aotual oarrying out of the redevelopment projeot
as desoribed in this Plan (inoluding administrative costs), will
be f:nanoed by the Agency either with a temporary loan from the
Federal Government pursuant to Title I of the Housing Aot of
1949, as amended up to August 2, 1954, or with short-term loans
from private souroes seoured by a pledge of oertain of the Rede-
velopment Agenoy's rights under the Loan and Grant Contraot.
