The motion was approved unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br /> blighting <br /> <br />analysis/redevelopment plan <br /> <br />Mr. Halpert announced that next item on the agenda was new business pertaining to 8390 <br />Delmar Boulevard to develop a Walgreens and an adjacent office building. <br />Staff reported that this was a proposed development of a 14,000 square foot retail facility with a <br />drive-thru and a 30,000 square foot office building at 8390 Delmar Boulevard. The purpose of <br />reviewing this item was due to the inability to move the project forward due to a long-term <br />tenant not willing to relocate. The developer tried many measures such as offering relocation <br />assistance, offering to construct a building on the site, and many other measures but the tenant <br />had been unresponsive. The City concluded that the only way to move the project forward and <br />to remove the tenant from the facility was to condemn the lease. The process by which the lease <br />could be condemned was according to Chapter 99 in the State Statutes, the Land Clearance <br />tm; <br /> šE  <br /> <br /> <br />
