WHEREAS, A "blight" study for the Capitol Avenue Study Area was commissioned by the
Jefferson City Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority ("LCRA") at the
request of the City of Jefferson, Missouri; and
WHEREAS, On August 16, the study entitled, "Qualifications for Chapter 99 (LCRA)
Designation for the East Capitol Avenue Redevelopment Area in Jefferson

WHEREAS, The Blight Study examined the area described on Exhibit A, further
determining that the area as a whole is a "Blighted Area," (hereinafter "Area")
as such term is defined in Chapter 99, RSMO (sometimes referred
hereinafter as "the Statute"); and
WHEREAS, The Blight Study finds and concludes that the Area meets the requirements
for a Blighted Area exhibiting factors including but not limited to, defective or
inadequate street layout; insanitary or unsafe conditions; deterioration of site
improvements; improper subdivision or obsolete platting; and existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes; and
WHEREAS, The Area is a portion of the City which by reason of the predominance of
defective or inadequate street layout, insanitary or unsafe conditions,
deterioration of site improvements, improper subdivision or obsolete platting,
or the existence of such conditions which endanger life or property by fire
and other causes, or any combination of such factors, constitutes an
economic or social liability or a menace to the public health, safety, morals or
welfare in its present condition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
JEFFERSON, MISSOURI, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that for the
reasons set forth in the Blight Study the area described on Exhibit A, which is attached to
this ordinance and incorporated by reference herein, and which is more particularly
described in the Blight Study, has a predominance of insanitary or unsafe conditions,
deterioration of site improvements, improper subdivision or obsolete platting, the existence
of unsafe conditions which endanger life or public health, and generally insanitary,
blighted, deteriorated real estate and the area is therefore "BLIGHTED." as defined in
Section 99.320 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended, (the Statute being
Sections 99.300 to 99.715 RSMO inclusive, as amended). It is further found, determined
and declared that because of the foregoing blighted conditions the Area constitutes an
economic or social liability or a menace to the public health, safety, morals or welfare in its
present condition.
Section 2. The redevelopment of the above described Area, as provided by the
Statute, is necessary and in the public interest, and is in the interest of the public health,
safety, morals and general welfare of the people of the City.
Section 3. The City Administrator or his designee is directed to request the Land
Clearance for Redevelopment Authority to prepare and present an amended and/or a new
urban renewal plan or plans to reflect the aforementioned Blight Study in order to address
the problems in the entire study area.

its passage and approval.
