In November 1985, The City adopted an Enterprise Zone. The
property along Mt.'Vernon Avenue, from Highland Avenue on the north
to Rialto Avenue on the south, became the commercial sub area of
the Enterprise Zone.
Westcom Development, located on the south side of Highland
Avenue, east of Western Avenue and west of Mt. Vernon Avenue (as
Mt. Vernon curves to the west), will be completed soon. Although
the site is not located in the commercial sub area of the Enterprise
Zone, it is within the general boundaries of the Enterprise Zone.
Without the commercial designation, the project does not quali~ for
the benefits and incentives provided for the commercial busine$ses
on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
Recently, the Redevelopment Agency staff has been contacted by
two prospective tenants of Westcom Development and several more in
abeyance for the rebates of business license tax. The parties were
advised by staff of the circumstances that did not qualify the site
for the incentives.
A few months back, I brought this same project before the Mayor
and Council, questioning why this project could not be included for
the commercial benefits and incentives. It was suggested at that
time that I review the matter more and bring back to the Mayor and
Council a recommendation.
