WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Plan for the Alameda Redevelopment Project
Area was adopted by the Lynwood City Council on November 18, 1975 by Ordinance
No. 993; and
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area which terminates on

expired on December 31, 1998, by operation of Health and Safety Code section
33333.4(a)(3); and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code section 33333.4(a)(3) allows the extension
of eminent domain powers for a period of time not to exceed twelve (12) years by an

and 2) that this blight cannot be eliminated without the use of eminent domain; and
