A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE EXCELSIOR BOULEVARD
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND APPROVING THE
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, the St. Louis Park City Council ("Council") and Housing
and Redevelopment Authority ("Authority") have studied the Excelsior
Boulevard area for purposes of determining the need for commencing
redevelopment activities; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has approved the establishment of the
redevelopment project and has transmitted the plan to the City's
Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City's Planning Commission has reviewed the plan and
has submitted a written statement finding the plan compatible with the
City's Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Council has found the area contains physical
deterioration and obsolescence of certain structures, small or irregular-
shaped lots, multiple ownership, poor soil conditions at certain loca-
tions, elevation and topographic problems and uneconomical use of
property including planned but undeveloped property, and street and
highway problems including inadequate pedestrian facilities; and
WHEREAS, review of the studies and information collected indicates
conditions exist justifying redevelopment, and the Council finds:
1. The land in the project area would not be made
available for redevelopment without the financial
aid to be sought;
2. The redevelopment plans for the redevelopment areas
in the locality will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the locality as
a whole, for the redevelopment of such areas by
private enterprise; and
3. The redevelopment plan conforms to a general plan
for the development of the locality as a whole.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council ;that a redevelopment
project is hereby established for the Excelsior Boulevard area, and
the redevelopment plan, Excelsior Boulevard Redevelopment Plan,
February 1, 1977, is hereby adopted.
Adopted by the City Council bruary 7, 1977.
