MEMORANDUM <br />TO: MEMBERS OF THE ROSEUIL,LE CITY COUNCIL <br />FROM: AMY IHLAN <br />SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE RESTRICTIl�TG USE OF EMINENT DOMAIl�T <br />DATE: NOVEMBER30,2005 <br />I propose that the council adopt the following ordinance restricting the use of eminent <br />domain in Roseville. I am proposing the ordinance at this time because the council <br />appears likely to move forward very soon to vote on eminent domain for the Twin <br />Lakes project - and it is vital for the council to consider and adopt a policy on eminent <br />domain before that occurs. <br />PROPOSED EMINENT DOMAlN ORDINANCE <br />(1) Eminent domain shall not be used to take property for private commercial, retail, <br />business or industrial development or redevelopment. <br />(2) Private property acquired through eminent domain shall not be dedicated, sold, <br />leased in substantial part, or otherwise transferred to a private person, partnership, <br />corporation or any other entity for a period of 10 years following the acquisition of <br />property by the City, except that property may be transferred or leased: (a) to private <br />entities that are public utilities or common carriers, or (b) to private entities that occupy <br />an incidental area within a public project. <br />
