writing with the clerk of the legislative body a statement of his
objections to the proposed plan.


33363.  At the hour set in the notice required by Section 33361 for
hearing objections, the legislative body shall proceed to hear all
written and oral objections. Before adopting the redevelopment plan
the legislative body shall evaluate the report of the agency, the
report and recommendation of the project area committee, and all
evidence and testimony for and against the adoption of the plan and
shall make written findings in response to each written objection of
an affected property owner or taxing entity. The legislative body
shall respond in writing to the written objections received before or
at the noticed hearing, including any extensions thereof, and may
additionally respond to written objections that are received after
the hearing. The written responses shall describe the disposition of
the issues raised. The legislative body shall address the written
objections in detail, giving reasons for not accepting specified
objections and suggestions. The legislative body shall include a
good-faith, reasoned analysis in its response and, for this purpose,
conclusionary statements unsupported by factual information shall not
suffice.



33363.5.  After the redevelopment plan and accompanying documents
have been submitted by the agency to the legislative body and at any
time prior to the adoption of the plan, the legislative body upon the
recommendation of the agency, without additional agency public
hearings, may change such plan, or change the boundaries of the
project area to exclude land from the project area, after receipt of
a report and recommendation from the planning commission concerning
such changes. The planning commission may recommend for or against
the changes. Within 30 days after a change is submitted to it for
consideration the planning commission shall make and file its report
and recommendation with the legislative body. If the planning
commission does not report upon the change within 30 days after its
submission by the legislative body, the planning commission shall be
deemed to have waived its report and recommendation concerning the
change and the legislative body may proceed to act upon the plan
without the report and recommendation of the planning commission. The
legislative body shall consider any proposed changes at a public
hearing reopened for that limited purpose.



33364.  If no objections in writing have been delivered to the clerk
of the legislative body prior to the hour set for the hearing
thereon, and if no written objections are presented during the
hearing thereon, the legislative body may proceed to adopt the plan
at the time set for hearing thereon. If any written objections are
delivered or presented, as specified in this article, the legislative
body may adopt the plan only after consideration of the objections,
and adoption of written findings in response thereto, pursuant to
Section 33363 at a subsequent date not less than one week after the
time the hearing on objections is commenced pursuant to Section
33363.



33365.  The legislative body by ordinance may adopt the
redevelopment plan as the official redevelopment plan for the project
area.
   Except as otherwise provided in Section 33378, the ordinance
adopting the redevelopment plan shall be subject to referendum as
prescribed by law for the ordinances of the legislative body.




33366.  If the planning commission or the project area committee has
recommended against the approval of the redevelopment plan, the
legislative body may adopt such plan by a two-thirds vote of its
entire membership eligible and qualified to vote on such plan. If the
planning commission or the project area committee has recommended
approval or failed to make any recommendation within the time
allowed, the legislative body may adopt the redevelopment plan by a
majority vote of the entire membership eligible and qualified to vote
on such plan.

   (a) The purposes and intent of the legislative body with respect
to the project area.

1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.

public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the community and would

redevelopment plan and adequate provisions have been made for payment
for property to be acquired as provided by law.

families and persons displaced from the project area, if the
redevelopment plan may result in the temporary or permanent
displacement of any occupants of housing facilities in the project
area.
   (8) (A) There are, or shall be provided, in the project area or in
other areas not generally less desirable in regard to public

tax increment revenues from the area pursuant to Section 33670
without other substantial justification for its inclusion.

project area could not be reasonably expected to be accomplished by
private enterprise acting alone without the aid and assistance of the
agency.
   (12) The project area is predominantly urbanized, as defined by

project area, as described in the report prepared pursuant to Section
