Ordinance No. 111 applied restrictions on the Agency's power of eminent domain authority within the Project Area. On July 19, 1989, the City Council, by its Resolution No. 89-588, called for a special election to be held for the purpose of submitting Amendment No. 1 to the electorate for approval. A Special Municipal Election was held and conducted in the City on November 7, 1989, whereby the electorate approved the adoption of Ordinance No. 111 , which was subsequently made effective by the City Council on December 6, 1989, by its Resolution No. 89-623. As amended, the Plan excluded all property zoned residential and all property zoned commercial or industrial that had a residential structure on it which was owner occupied at the time the Plan was first adopted from the Agency's eminent domain authority. The Plan authorized the Agency to use eminent domain to acquire real property for a period of twelve years, which expired on July 4, 2001 . Since July 4, 2001, the program and process to acquire property in the Plan does not authorize the Agency to use eminent domain. In the event the City Council approves and adopts an amendment changing the Plan to authorize the Agency to use eminent domain to acquire real property for an additional twelve year period, the program and process for the use of eminent domain by the Agency would follow all of the requirements of the CCRL.
