(Note: report presented as to both Agency and Council ; see Council minutes this date for specific action) Redevelopment Director explained exhibit outlining six additional survey areas to determine whether such should be considered for future inclusion in the redevelopment project area ; and stated that the designation of the survey areas is a requirement if a redevelopment plan is ever to be adopted; that the budget amendiment will provide funds to study, justify and document blight in these areas, provide financial analyses, an EIR for each area, and to develop the economic strategy, all of which will become a policy document for the Council , which will begin to suggest areas which should be developed for specific uses and which should be aggressively pursued to stablize the economy, e.g. , auto center, hotels, cultural center; and that, although not defined, this would be part of on-going dialogue by the Council , staff, and economic and planning consultants, and should result in general location and uses so developers and tenants can be sought, as well as the financial means by which to make it all happen. In answer to questions by Council , Redevelopment Director stated that "Neighborhood Strategy Areas" relates to a program being worked on by the Housing Coordinator; that a portion of survey area Nos. 3, 6 and 8 contain these areas, of which programs have been approved by the Council and HUD in 3 and 6, and by the Council only in 8; that these areas tie into redevelopment especially in terms of financing; that the former dump site on Ramon Road was included because of the value of excavation, fill , and land reclamation, as well as recent discussion to develop the area into an auto center and the use of redevelopment financing technique to stimulate that if necessary; and that regarding Indian lands, the Downtown Development Advisory Commission chose not to recommend those areas, but rather to recommend Tribal Council consideration of same; that the Tribal Council received the information and responded that it chose not to meet on the matter but to delay it; that joint session with the DDAC resulted in consensus that since there would be no onus placed on the land in developing the survey areas, the areas should be included in order to provide information to individual allottees as to how redevelopment might help them if they choose to be helped; that it was felt that since so much data would CRA B I CRA Minutes CRA B 2 2-3-82 Page 2 1 .
