Atty. /s, C. Mgr. e </ $4 AGENDA BILL NO. x755 DE PARTME NT : Red eve 1 opme n t /P 1 anm a SUBJECT' REPORT ON DRAFT REDEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS AND PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE Statement of the Matter 9 The attached report from the Redevelopment Coordinator recounts tk. redevelopment process to date and explains the reasoning behind tk selection of the current process. In addition, the report requests authorization to distribute drafi redevelopment documents (pre-prints of which have been provided tc Council under separate cover) and recommends that Council initiata efforts to appoint a project area committee to advise on finalizaf of the plan. The Community Redevelopment Law requires that a project area comm: be formed when a significant amount of displacement is to occur ai result of redevelopment activities. The law reads that when sign. displacement is not anticipated, a project area committee - may be formed or the Agency shall consult with the residents and communi. organizations as outlined in the Project Area Committee compositic section. Although the level of displacement is not anticipated to be high, the most advisable approach from a legal and administrative stand is to proceed with the appointment of the committee. This is recl mended due to the number of possible interpretations of the word "significant" and a desire to ensure procedural conformity with t Community Redevelopment Law. Exhibits Report from Redevelopment Coordinator dated February 9, 1979 - RECOMMENDATION If Council concurs with the staff report is should: 1. Direct that the draft documents be distributed. 2. Authorize the posting and distribution of notices calling for applications to serve on the Village Area Redevelopment Projc Area Committee. The filing of said applications should be completed prior to 5:OO P.M., Tuesday, March 6th. Council Action: 2-20-79 Council approved the above stated staff recommendation. 1 e a MEMORANDUM Date : February 9, 1979 To: Chairman and Members, Carlsbad Redevelopment Agel: From: Jack Henthorn, Redevelopment Coordinato Subject: Report on Draft Redevelopment Documents and Projt , Area Committee Introduction At its meeting of September 26, 1978, the Agency was advised th an initial draft of the Village Area Redevelopment Plan would b available in early 1979. The purpose of this memo is to begin process of soliciting the community input which will refine the draft into a plan to be presented for formal processing by the Redevelopment Agency. Past Efforts This process has been ongoing for some twenty-two years. The c first master plan contained a plan for redevelopment of the con cia1 core. This phase, the latest, began nearly four years ago with the fc tion of the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency and the retention of "special agency counsel". Since that time Agency rules and re( tions have been adopted; cooperative agreements between Agenc: City have been executed: a full-time staff person has been hi. and the actual plan formulation process has been initiated. A preliminary plan, the Village Area Redevelopment Project Pre Plan, was presented to the Council this past fall (September 2 1978). That document, as general and brief as it was, contain the output of the "Interim Village Area Advisory Committee in form of "goals and objectives" for the redevelopment of the Vi Agea. Current Approach Those same "goals and objectives" are the basis of the draft c ments provided under separate cover. What has been added is 5 a methodology, a framework if you will, within which the "goa: and objectives" of the preliminary plan can be attained and mi tained. Whether this methodology can work or not is unknown - the community can make that determination. This particular approach was chosen following research into w- plan was never developed in the past. Several efforts have b e 0 instituted to formulate a plan, but all appear to have bogged down before a comprehensive framework was available for review. Hopefully, by providing this level of detail at this point a spe~ific focus fog CQment and dialope will result. Chamber's latest survey attempt has probably sparked new interes in the future of the Village Area. Their attempts should provii a good setting for the distribution of the plan and solicitatioi of public comment. Action Requested At it's meeting of February 20, 1979, the Council, as legislati. body of the City of Carlsbad, should: The A) Authorize distribution of the prepring redevelopment documents submitted under separate cover, and B) Initiate the process to appoint a project area commit as required by the California Community Redevelopment Law. The committee's functions are to advise on matters of plan formulation; planning and provisions of residential facil sation; is required to function during the plan adoption process; for three years thereafter; and subsequently, a pleasure of the Council. Finally the committee is requirG contain the following, where applicable: 1) Residential owner/occupant 2) Residential tenant 3) Businessman 4) Members of existing organizations and replacement housing, The committee serves without con The formation of this committee will put the Village Area Plan the final process prior to Council/Agency adoption hearings. During this process possible funding strategies and time table be developed based upon public input and presented, along with final plan, to the Council and Agency for consideration during required public hearings. It is suggested that Council, through the media, existing orga tions and individuals, call for applications from individuals ' ing one or more of the four criteria above. a notice calling for applications is attached.
