alter or affect the boundaries of the Original Town Center II Constituent Area, the
Amended Town Centre II Constituent Area, the Otay Valley Constituent Area, the
Original Southwest Constituent Area, or the Amended Southwest Constituent

Constituent Area, the Otay Valley Constituent Area, the Original Southwest
Constituent Area, or the Amended Southwest Constituent Area. The Amended
and Restated Redevelopment Plan continues the limitations applicable to each of
the foregoing listed constituent areas and the 2004 Amendment, in the form of the
Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan, does not alter or amend these
limitations with respect to these constituent areas.

Redevelopment Plan with respect to the 2004 Amendment Constituent Area are
reasonably related to the proposed projects to be implemented in the foregoing
constituent areas and to the ability of the Agency to eliminate blight within the
