Susan Morales, Development Specialist, Development Department,
stated this item required no action, only discussion. She gave an
outline of the workshop and stated it would be followed by a discussion
period and comments.
Ms. Morales informed the Commission that several meetings and
workshops were held with the area property owners and monthly meetings
with the Mt. Vernon Corridor Citizen Advisory Committee to complete the
preliminary report. She stated all comments would be weighed and
inserted into the draft plan scheduled for review by the Planning
Commission on Msrch 3, 1992.
Larry Morrison, The Arroyo Group, stated the plan would be
adopted by resolution in terms of the design guidelines portion and the
development standards would be incorporated into the development code.
Mr. Morrison showed slides to the Commission of the specific plan
for the Paseo Las P1acitas (the Walkway of Little Plazas). He felt this
plan would be a series of district centers that serve neighborhoods, the
City and different regions. He said the plaza would have a special focal
point that would draw citizens to it.
Mr. Morrison indicated the project area boundries would be 4th
Street from the south, 9th Street from the north and Mt. Vernon Avenue.
He said the plaza park would be in the center of the planned area.
He stated some of the problems the area had was lack of viable
retailers, vacant land, vacant buildings, curb cuts, narrow sidewalks,
shallow parcels, lack of adequate street furniture, residential
deterioration, and unattractive freeway entrance. Some of the
opportunities the area had was the historical La Plaza Park, the Ninth
Street Park, the Villasenor Library, vacant land and parcels and the Home
of Neighborly Services. He also indicated the area was near downtown and
close to hotels and freeways. He said by the year 2000, there would be a
$15.3 million income within a 2 mile range and a $1.9 billion income
within a 5 mile range.
Mr. Morris stated the goals for the project would be to establish
land uses to create a shopping, dining, entertainment and services
district that would serve residents and attract visitors. He said the
plan would also create a unique enVironment, appealing to all citizens
and would reflect an ethnic background of the Mt. Vernon vicinity.
Mr. Morris stated other goals of the project and described the
slides as presented. He indicated the project would create about 1200
jobs.

Chairman Holcomb requested discussion of this issue because of its
simplicity. He felt the best thing that could happen with the
Redevelopment project areas is to consolidate them.

Chairman Holcomb spoke briefly on the advantages this item would have
on the City and the steps needed to implement them. He stated the Central
City Project Area had no reserves or resources and was in the negative

support upcoming bond issues.

Chairman Holcomb indicated this item would need a lot of cooperation
from the other to:ing agencies. He said the Orange Show stated they would
try to get the other agencies to support a regional facility such as a
baseball stadium. If the other agencies rejected the idea, no further
action would be taken on this item.
COIMISSIOB __ IIIIIOR JUmlKIUU Ar 11:45 A.M.
Chairman Holcomb stated this item would start the project and save
the City three (3) weeks. He indicated time is critical because the
Spirit Baseball Team would like to know if the City would commit to
building a facility for them that could possibly be ready for the '93 -
'94 baseball season. He requested that Mr. Steinhaus, Mr. Henderson, Mr.
Iverson and Mr. Sabo to give their expert opinion on the benefits of this
item as well as comment on the possible downside to merging.
COIMISSIOW MlMBBR POPE-LUDLllII WAS BXCUSBD Ar 11:47 A.M.
TimothY C. Steinhaus, Administrator, Economic Development Agency,
stated the Chairman had explained the item very clearly and noted if there
is a problem, the process could be abandoned without a loss. He reminded
the Commission that the motion was only for the initial process. All
official action such as the start-up process will have to be brought back
to the Commission.
Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, Development Department,
confirmed with the Chairman's statements.
TimothY Sabo, Special Counsel, Sabo & Green, indicated the
feasibility of the item appeared to be a good idea. He stated the only
downside would be the cooperation of the other to:ing agencies which is
unknown until the process begins. He said just starting the process would
be worthwhile.
COMIISSIOW MBIIIIBIt POPE-LUDLUM JUD:UKIUU Ar 11:50 A.M.
Jim Iverson, Financial Consultant, Miller and Schroeder Financial,
Inc. gave his comments on the item and stated this would allow the City to
direct resources into areas that now do not have funding. He said it
would expand the ability to use to: increment where needed.
Commission Member Hernandez expressed his concerns over this item and
stated he felt many problems would occur as a result of it.
Discussion ensued regarding the advantages and disadvantages of this
item and the effects it would have on the City.
Commission Member Maudsley made an amended motion, seconded by
Commission Member Pope-Ludlum to authorize staff to start the research
process and have the Redevelopment Committee work with the prOfessionals
regarding the merger of all redevelopment project areas.
