The City Council has authority under provisions of the City Charter and applicable <br />state law to institute proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition by condemnation of private <br />property for public purposes, including projects that further development or redevelopment of areas <br />within the City. <br /> <br />B. The Urban Renewal Agency ofthe City of Eugene ("Agency") has previously adopted <br />Resolution No. 1005 authorizing the institution of proceedings in eminent domain to acquire the <br />property known as the "Chiquita" site, and Resolution No.1 0 11 authorizing the purchase ofthat site. <br /> <br />C. The properties identified as TL 17-03-32-22-00600 and TL 17-03-32-23-03003, <br />which are more particularly depicted on the maps attached as Exhibit A, are located near the <br />Chiquita site, and are needed in order to further development of that site which the Agency will soon <br />be acquiring to make it possible to relocate the federal courthouse in that general area. <br /> <br />D. The public good to be realized from acquisition ofthe two parcels far outweighs any <br />damage that the property owners might sustain, particularly in light of the City's obligation to <br />provide just compensation to the affected property owners. <br /> <br />Now, therefore, <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a <br />Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: <br /> <br />Section 1.
