The Chairman inquired about the status of negotiations with
the developer. Irwin Seliger, Economic Development Depart-
ment, stated that the City is in the process of analyzing the
developer's financial statement. Mr. Seliger advised that in
addition to the application to HUD for 3.8 million dollars,
an application for $375,000 will be made to Economic Develop-
ment Administration in support of the project. Both applica-
tions are contingent upon the developer successfully ne-
gotiating with the tenants.
Dr. Milton O. Zucker requested that the fcilowirig be made
part of the record.
Dr. Zucker stated that he has been involved with the Agency
for almost 9 years; that his property on Sanborn Avenue was
leased to the State as a parking lot and was earning an income
at-the time the City ordered redevelopment; that the City has
never explained satisfactorily the removal of a building
from the parking lot which was used by the State; that re-
moval of the building resulted in the loss of the tenant and
the income; that he has been waiting since 1974 for the Agency
to do something; that he has discussed the shopping center
project with several City Managers and many Councils; that he
is now at the point where he wants to do something about the
property since he is still paying taxes to the Tax Assessor
on property that is doing nothing; that he has tried to
obtain tax relief; that he is unable to build on the property;
and that, in effect, it is condemnded. Dr. Zucker further
stated that the City removed 58 concrete bumpers for parking
stalls, a concrete block wall and a chain link fence without
his written permission. He termed the City's action inverse
condemnation because his property has been condemned and he
has not been compensated for it.

The Chairman advised Dr. Zucker that the Agency is in
the process of applying for two federal grants for re-
development. Dr. Zucker stated he feels the whole plan
is wrong and recommended that the City start over. He
suggested that the area be divided into three sections
and that the section on Long Beach Boulevard be devoted
to strip stores, retail stores and behind that, low cost
housing, or senior citizen housing. Dr. Zucker re-
commended that the Agency review the City of Commerce
redevelopment plan.
The General Counsel stated that if the agreement with
Hahn ends without a project, with respect to Dr. Zucker's
property and situation, the Agency could authorize the
Executive Director to meet with Dr. Zucker within the
week to discuss his particular situation. Dr. Zucker
stated he is in agreement to develop some sort of
negotiating process. Mr. Morris recommended that Staff
contact Dr. Zucker before the end of next week. The
Chairman concurred.
The meeting was adjourned.
