procedures codified within the California Community Redevelopment
Law ([CCRL] Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq.); and
WHEREAS, by City Ordinance No. 111, dated July 5, 1989, the
City Council of the City of Moorpark, and as subsequently approved
by the voters of Moorpark, placed restrictions on the use of
eminent domain authority to acquire residentially zoned property
and commercially or industrially zoned property that had a
residential structure (house) on it and was owner occupied at the

WHEREAS, in accordance with CCRL Article 12, commencing with
Section 33450, the City Council may amend a redevelopment plan upon
the recommendation of the Agency; and
WHEREAS, it is the Agency's desire, so that it may more

authority for the maximum permissible 12 -year period as limited by
Ordinance 111, and further limited to exclude the authority to
acquire property upon which persons reside; and
