FROM:
RE: Report on Status of Redevelopment Effort (Area Of Concentratic
At the City Council meeting of July 6, 1977, the Council designatec Redevelopment Survey Area. Staff has subsequently analyzed the arc
based upon General Plan designation, field observation, and CONpari aerial photography (1970 and 1977), and has reached the conclusion an area of concentration should be designated as the first step toi formal project area selection.
Area of Concentration
The recommended area was found to contain a number of land use con and older structures which were not as evident in the southern ha1 the survey area.
Additionally, aerial photography taken during the past seven years indicates that while some development has occurred, it has not bee
significant from the revitalization standpoint. This is probably to the existence of high land and existing improvement value which cludes effective private investment.
Further, office uses have in many instances replaced residential L peripheral to the CBD thereby reducing the primary (close-in) comn market. This random placement of office uses appears to adverselj impact the vitality of residential areas leading to physical decli accompanied by appreciation blocking private investment.
Finally, the area recommended encompasses tourist service, region? service, residential and neighborhood commercial designations, as as the CBD designation.
This has been done to permit analysis of the interrelationships o use designations as they relate to the Village Area.
The designation of any area of concentration will permit Staff to centrate its resources in a smaller geographic area thereby exped the revitalization planning process. The staff's recommended are' concentration is shown on the attached plot. -
si Jack E. Henthorn, Redevelopment Coordinato 9.9.
If the Council chooses to accept the staff recommendation on the of concentration, it is further recommended that an interim Villa advisory committee be established to provide input into final pro area formulation. This effort should take no longer than two mol? and a total of four meetings.
'v c 0 0
It is recommended that if the Council should desire to establish s a committee that it be comprised of five individuals from the area follows:
a. One residential owner occupant b, One residential tenant (non-owner) c. One businessman
d. Two members of existing organizations
Recommendati on
It is recommended that this item be scheduled for the Council meet September 6, 1977, requesting Council concurrence and scheduling appointment to the committee at its next meeting.

Introduction
At its meeting of August 24, 1977 the Commission scheduled a Wor
on the redevelopment process €or September 7, 1977. The purpose
this memo is to provide a basis for the workshop and to basicall
outline the presentation to bs made by Staff.
Purpose of Workshop
The purpose of this workshop session is to give Staff an opporti to brief the Commission on its role as defined in the Community
development Law oE the State of California. Although the applic
of the Redevelopment Act is still to be determined, the Council approved work program for revitalization of the Central Area is upon the provisions of the Act. This approach in no way precluc
the option of utilizing other methods to accomplish revitalizat:
should it be determined that the State Act is not applicable,
Role of Commission
The Planning Commission plays a key role in the formulation of
for revitalization in the City’s Central Area. In fact, one of
requirements for carrying out redevelopment under the State Act
the existence of a Planning Commission.
The initial involvement of the Commission is the selection of a project area. A project area is all or part of a survey (study
In the City of Carlsbad the survey area was established by COW
hasic&ly khat area Se-t-,weez the freevay (1-5) and the Ocean and City boundary on the north and Car,non Road on the south.
Upon the selection of a project area the Commission is charged
formulating a preliminary plan for the area in concert with the
Redevelopment Agency. This plan is general in character. Its required content will be outlined during the workshop.
* 0 a
Lcfpon the Agency's receipt and review of the preliminary plan, thi
Agency is required to cause a redevelopment plan to be prepared-
The agency is required to consult with the Planning Commission a
project area committee in the preparation of the plan.
The redevelopment plan is still a relatively general document wh
must contain certain legally required items in addition to the
normal municipal plan requirements.
Development standards are normally addressed in a companion docu
referred to as a "Design Manual," "Standard Guidelines," etc, T is normally done to keep the "legal" plan document as clean as
possible thereby eliminating any questions relative to sufficien
The final involvement in the plan formulation process is the Con
review of the recommended plan and its report and recommendation
the Sufficiency Agency in General Plan Conformity.
Following adoption of the plan by the Agency and the legislative
the Commission is enpowered to review any amendments to the adoF
plan prior to Council Agency consideration,
With the exception of the Commission's review of amendments to t
Redevelopment Plan, the role of the Commission following adoptic
the plan is purely a matter of local discretion. The role can k
determined by any number of variables such as, but not limited -t
Commission workload; willingness to increase the number of meeti
per month; type of plan adopted; etc.
Hopefully this memo will serve to generally outline the formal
Planning Commission role which will be more specifically discus:
during the workshop. Staff will be prepared to respond to any questions you have which relate directly or indirectly to redevc
and revitalization,
