The Committee for Plan Amendment is a special committee set up to address the formulation of the Plan Amendment for the South of Market Project Area.  This committee advises the Redevelopment Agency regarding the Goals and Objectives designed to maintain balance in the neighborhood combining commercial, light industrial and residential uses.  This committee makes recommendations pertaining to the Owner Participation Rules and Management Standards that are an important part of the Plan Amendment to ensure that the SRO hotels are maintained in a manner that affords quality of life for our lowest-income residents.

A redevelopment plan describes the purposes, goals, and objectives aimed at eliminating existing physical and economic blight. The redevelopment plan must be in harmony with the City or County General Plan. A redevelopment plan generally contains the following components:

• A legal description of the project area in written and graphic form and a description of land uses;

• A description of the proposed actions to be taken to carry out redevelopment, covering the duties, powers,  and authorities of the Redevelopment Agency as well as describing the rights of owners and tenants;

• A description of the authority and limitations for financing the activities necessary to implement the plan; and

• A plan for how the Agency will implement redevelopment projects to remove the blight.
