8A lO NEWS^e C^srlont $ot Thursday, February 9, 2006 Urban development law becomes economic issue Continued from page 1A trict includes several eco nomically threatened neigh borhoods, said government should take a limited role in taking property “I don’t think it’s a cut and dried issue,” said 'liomer, who represents District 3. ‘Tf the city of Charlotte says ‘OK, we think Brookhill (an irmer city community in his district) has more economic opportunity, we can take it I don’t agree with it” The Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. City of New London that governments can take property for private development. Historically, low-income neighborhoods — especially those inhabited by Attcan Americans - have been targets of seizure for roads and other publicly- funded facilities. 'IVu-ning property over to developers who would raise tax values on properties “amount to reverse Robin Hood policies,” Bakst said. N.C. law allows govern ments to take private prop erty in three kinds of “rede velopment areas” - blighted, non-residential and “rehabil itation, conservation and reconditioning” The law says buildings in blighted areas must cause harm to the sur rounding neighborhood, such as stunting “sound growth of the community” or being “conducive to iU health.” 'That’s too vague, Bakst says, because government can seize property as a rede velopment area. Either way property owners are in an economic Catch-22. “How much growth is sound growth?” he asks. “The provision that proper ties must not be conducive to ill health doesn’t even require that unhealthy con ditions exist. In fact, it does- AccuWeather. n’t even require the likeli hood that those conditions will exist soon.” While the law could force homeowners out of low- income areas, Thmer says giving local government bar gaining power with nuisance businesses could offset some negatives. “I don’t think well ever do it, but I think there is a flip side if there are biasinesses that are holding back eco nomic opportunity,” he said ’It forces you to come to the table and talk. It’s good to have some type of leverage.” The state law has yet to be used in Charlotte, but Tlumer said he’d lobby for property owners to be paid an “open maritet” price for their assets if it were. ‘It’s going to have to be policed to make sure it’s not abused,” he said Estate and Used Fur Sale!
