of property to be excluded from acquisition and portion of the area
acquired which are to be devoted to streets, parks, playground, and
other public purposes under the redevelopment plan, and further
studies have shown the necessity of adding certain parcels to the
acquisition list due to the nonfeasibility of rehabilitation and
for the making of certain changes in the land use provision in
Block 6 in order to update the Urban Renewal Plan to current market
conditions; and
