Neither the City of Anaheim nor any City-affiliated agency may exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire any property from any private owner thereof, without such owner's consent, when the purpose of the acquisition is the intended conveyance of the property so acquired to any other private party, for the conduct of any for-profit commercial activity or for-profit residential development, sales or leasing. Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to prohibit acquisitions of property interests by eminent domain for the purpose of either (i) conveying such acquired interests to the owner of other property affected by a public acquisition of property in order to mitigate impacts of the acquisition or the project to be constructed on such other property, or (ii) the development of any facilities to be operated by the City or any facilities of which the City is or shall be an owner.
As used in this section, the following terms shall have the following ascribed meanings:
“Owner” means the owner of the fee title interest in the property to be acquired, as shown on the last equalized assessment roll, or other more current proof of vesting the City may have.
“Property” shall mean any interest in real or personal property otherwise subject to acquisition through the use of eminent domain.
“City-affiliated agency” shall mean the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency (or any successor agency as defined in California Health & Safety Code section 34171(j), as may be amended or any successor code section), Anaheim Housing Authority, and any other entity possessing the power of eminent domain the governing board of which is solely composed of, or is solely appointed by, the members of the City Council of the City of Anaheim.
