Grand Terrace, California – In 1979, the entire city of Grand Terrace was declared blighted. City officials are now taking advantage of this outdated designation in order to build a shopping center and a Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse on top of 16 acres of privately owned, residential land. All property owners on the site have sold except for Jo Stringfield, who worries that the Kelo decision will empower city officials to seize her home.

Ontario, California – The city has begun eminent domain proceedings against four property owners on Euclid Avenue to acquire the land for a residential development and park. In addition to the six businesses that will be forced out, the city is negotiating with three other property owners who will likely be condemned as well if they do not want to move.

San Bernardino, California – In August 2004, the City Council voted to reinstate the power of eminent domain over 433 acres of homes in the Uptown and Central City neighborhoods for possible future private development.

Riverside, California – In July 2005, the city council brought in Thrifty Oil Company to build a downtown, four-story medical building with restaurants and retail establishments. The only problem is that neither the City nor Thrifty owns the land for the proposed commercial project. The man who does own the property is an orthopedic surgeon who has already started construction on an office building of his own. City officials are still considering taking his redeveloped office building by eminent domain and handing it over to Thrifty—citing the need for development as justification for the taking.

Riverside, California – Hyrosen Properties, which owns a 13-acre strip mall at Adams Street and Highway 91, is competing with California Baptist University to redevelop its own property. Hyrosen wants to remodel the center without any financial assistance from the city, while Cal Baptist has proposed a $110 million project of shops, restaurants, offices, and a hotel, that could require millions in redevelopment funds. Hyrosen may face condemnation – for the eighth time since it built the plaza in 1967 – if the city chooses Cal Baptist’s proposal.

Rubidoux, California – Constance Clemmons is resisting the sale of her spacious home of 35 years on 1 1⁄2-acres for the Emerald Meadows Ranch development of homes and commercial space. The Riverside County Planning Commission approved the project in August, despite pleas from property owners to spare their homes. Eight homeowners originally resisted selling their properties, but now only three remain in negotiations.
