CITY OKS SMALLER PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN NEWHALL REDEVELOPMENT.Byline: Amy Collins Daily News Staff Writer The City Council has approved a scaled-down plan for the downtown Newhall redevelopment district, but still doesn't know if it's small enough to discourage another lawsuit from the Castaic Lake Castaic Lake is a lake on Castaic Creek formed by Castaic Dam, in northwestern Los Angeles County, California, near the town of Castaic. The 323,700 acre foot lake (399,000,000 m³) is the terminus of the West Branch of the California Aqueduct, though some comes from the 154 mi² Water Agency. Robert Sagehorn, general manager of the water agency, said Wednesday that he can't guarantee the smaller plan will be adequate. ``The position of the water agency is, and always has been, if the area meets the legal requirements of the law, then it's all right,'' Sagehorn said. The water agency, which stands to lose some of its property tax revenue to the new redevelopment district, originally sued the city when it planned a $1.1 billion project area. When the smaller plan was presented to the council Tuesday night, some areas cut from the plan were described by the city staff as ``obviously'' not being characterized by blight blight, general term for any sudden and severe plant disease or for the agent that causes it. The term is now applied chiefly to diseases caused by bacteria (e.g., bean blights and fire blight of fruit trees), viruses (e.g., soybean bud blight), fungi (e.g. , which is a criterion for establishing a redevelopment district. Sagehorn said he was pleased to see the elimination of those areas and encouraged the staff to look at others still in the project plan, such as the mule mule, in zoology mule, hybrid offspring of a male donkey (see ass) and a female horse, bred as a work animal. The name is also sometimes applied to the hinny, the offspring of a male horse and female donkey; hinnies are considered inferior to mules. ranch along the Golden State Freeway The Golden State Freeway is a north-south freeway running through Kern County and Los Angeles County, California.

Consultants told the council it is acceptable to include nonblighted areas in the project, as long as the whole project is characterized by blight. The project, which is expected to generate an additional $14.5 million in property taxes over 20 years, will come back to the council at its April 22 meeting for further examination. |
