3 2-11-91
3.01. Economic Development District No. 1-1, Economic Development
District No. 1-2 and Economic Development District No. 1-3, when
established, were established as economic development districts within the

The City reaffirms the findings previously made with respect to the
establishment of Housing District No. 1-1, Housing District No. 1-2 and
Housing District No. 1-3.
3.03. The Council finds that the proposed development, in the opinion

District No. 1-1, Housing District No. 1-1, Housing District No. 1-
_ Z, Economic Development District No. 1-2, Housing District No. 1-3

Increment Financing Plans for Economic Development District No. 1-1, Housing
District No. 1-1, Housing District No. 1-2, Economic Development District
No. 1-2, Housing District No. 1-3 and Economic Development District No. 1-3
conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the
City as a whole. The specific basis for such finding being:
(i) Economic Development District No. 1-1, Housing District No.
1-1, Housing District No. 1-2, Economic Development District
No. 1-2, Housing District No. 1-3 and Economic Development
District No. 1-3 are properly zoned;

Increment financing Plans for Economic Development District No. 1-1, Housing
District No. 1-1, Housing District No. 1-2, Economic Development District
No. 1-2, Housing District No. 1-3 and Economic Development District No. 1-3
