Redevelopment Law, California Health and Safety Code sections
33000-33855 (West 1973 & Supp. 1998). On November 1, 1982, the
LRA passed, approved, and adopted Resolution No. 12-82
transmitting its report and Redevelopment Plan to the City of
Lancaster, California (Lancaster). On December 20, 1982, at a
meeting of the City Council of Lancaster (the LCC), the LCC, by
Ordinance No. 289, approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan
for the Fox Field Redevelopment Project.
The rules and regulations of the Fox Field Redevelopment
Project provided as follows:
The Project Area is large and contains many
parcels of real property. As a result there is a need
to simplify the availability of participation
opportunities. Therefore, as an alternative to
requiring a participation agreement for each property
not to be purchased or subject to Agency [the LRA]
acquisition by eminent domain, the Agency is authorized
to make determinations of those properties which
conform to the Redevelopment Plan. If such a
determination is made by the Agency then the property
will not be subject to eminent domain by the Agency as
long as the property continues to conform to the
Redevelopment Plan. The Agency shall in good faith
review the property contained in the Project Area and
issue Certificates of Conformance to qualifying
properties as soon as possible consistent with the
restoration and redevelopment permitted by the Plan and
specific designs for development adopted by the Agency
pursuant to the Plan.
The 23d Street property is located in the Fox Field
Redevelopment Project. In February 1983, the LRA approved an
agreement between the LRA and petitioner Michael H. Johnson (Mr.
Johnson) to assist in the development of a Ford motor vehicle
