review and analysis of the designated project area and surrounding environs
in connection with the rezoning of the same in 1970 and 1975, which review
and analysis included the formation of a citizens advisory council; and
WHEREAS, this Council, in connection with said rezoning studies,
review and analysis, had conducted public meetings and hearings on said
rezoning, had solicited, received and considered all comments regarding
the rezoning from members of the public; and
WHEREAS, the comments received from the citizenry of the City,
in response to meetings and hearings conducted and in response to this
Council's solicitation regarding said rezoning, were favorable to the
rezoning proposed and expressed a general public approval of the said
rezoning; and
WHEREAS, based upon the studies, review and analysis of the
proposed rezoning of the area now comprising the designated project area

environmental, traffic, or other physical impact which signif-
icantly affects areas beyond the boundaries of the project area;

project area boundaries which are large in the aggregate, this is
due only to accretion of non-significant effects, as in the
particular such effects will not be significant; no areas or
persons will be significantly affected when compared to other areas
within the jurisdiction of this Council;

any other fact, is sufficient to support its findings that the
project district area boundaries shall be coterminous with the

individuals listed on Exhibit C as additional Directors of the Corporation
to serve in conformity with the provisions of Section 4(2) of Act 338.
