Boundaries documents (see attached), This portion of the process is when , The boundaries forwarded by the Planning Commission were forrnul following review of past studies, the zoning ordinance, the Ger Plan and disc'ussions with area business persons, The proposed field studies boundary encompasses the commercial core of the City's downtown as well as the surrounding resident and tourist related area.. This approach will result in a plan which not only addresses the physical condition of the commeric core but permits consideration of the impact of perpheral resi- dential and tourist areas. The boundary as designated will permit the final plan to addre: problems associated with office use encroachment into residentj areas and the impact upon commercial viability: the inter-relat s'hips between tourist, commercial, specialty commercial, officc and residential uses; major circulation issues. The boundary, as proposed, is based upon existing general plan of amending either of these documents. Due to the size of the proposed area it may be desirable to diT it into sub-areas so that an implementation strategy can be developed. However, sub-area designation should be addressed : the final plan's implementation section rather than in the mor< general preliminary plan document, One exception to the above is noted in the preliminary plan section showing the commercial core area. This area is set as: as a "special treatment" area due to the importance of creatiri? an attraction capable of luring people into th.e Village Area. and zoninq designations thereby eliminating the necessity ' Preliminary Plan The preliminary plan is required to be prepared for each projec area designated by the Planning Commission. In this instance the plan was developed in two phases. The Council appointed the Interim Village Area Advisory Commit. formulated goals and objectives which were to be utilized in t: formulation of the preliminary plan. This process occurred OVI a 3 month period ending March 2, 1978. During the proces the committee was involved in the initial efforts to draft a p9eliminary plan, for presentation to the Planning Commission and Redevelopment Agency. . a a, The second phase of the process involved the refinement of the initial draft and its suSsequent presentation to the Planning Commission.. Presentation of the staff recommendation was made in July with final Commission action being taken on Auyust 9, 1978. Conclusion As noted in the original agenda item the Agency's acceptance 0: preliminary plan and boundary designation will permit the technical/legal process to continue: Although it was not note( 'in the original agenda bill, it should now be noted that the A( action accepting these items in no way eliminates the ability . adjust those boundaries if the need arises during the formulat: of the final plan and implementing documents. Next Action Following notification of the appropriate agencies, an analysi: will be undertaken to determine the necessity of establishing i formal "project area committee". It is anticipated that this. report will be presented at a meeting of the Agency on October 1.7, 1978. .. . 1. - .......... ,,:.. .* .......... .. ** i. , t *. ,e. c I.
