MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS None. Report and recommendation to approve the South Arcadia Redevelopment Project Amendment No.5. At the July 3, 2001 Joint Meeting. Public Hearing, regarding the proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Central Redevelopment Project Area (South Arcadia) the Council/Agency heard written objections to the proposed Amendment. The hearing was continued to this date to allow the consultants time to respond to the written objections. The consultants provided the council/Agency with their response. Denise Bickerstaff, Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., summarized the response to the written objections: 'Essentially we received two written objections to the Redevelopment Pian Amendment. The first one was received from F.L. Berberian, and it included a petition signed by 1 7/10/01 RES. ARA-198 (ADOPTED) V~~ \/,; .;'f 43:0143 twenty-five tenants of F.L. Berberian. Basically, iheir objection was ihat their properties were not blighted and that relocation of their tenants would be a hardship. The response to ihis is really I that ihe Amendment is not applicable to Mr. Berberian's properties because they are in the existing project area, not in the Amendment Area. And, the Amendment is concerned with the added area, not the original area. So we recommend that the City Council overrule this objection. "Objection no. 2 was from the County of Los Angeles and was submitted in the form of a memorandum report that analyzed the content of the preliminary report on the Amendment, and it was prepared by Seifel Consulting. The report reviewed and was determined to contain six objections that were broken out in detail, and basically formed fourteen objections in total. The primarY issues that were raised included the sufficiency of the blight findings, their relationship between the physical blighting conditions and the economic blighting conditions. The relationship between the blight findings and the programs proposed by the Agency, the inclusion of non-blighted properties, the assumption, that was incorrect, that the Agency was not funding three of the four programs and the lack of photos in the report. All of these issues are addressed in detail in the attachment to Resolution No. 6237, which I understand that you've received and reviewed copies of this document. And, we therefore recommend that these objections be overruled as well. And, I'll be happy to answer any question that you have." In response to a Council/Agency questions, staff replied the concept plan that was looked at established that the project was to have approximately 260,000 square feet of commercial development, and possibly up to fifty units of housing. Agency Member Chang commented that he saw two apartment complexes on the north side of Live Oak. Staff noted ihe only residential in the proposed plan are three units on the north side of Las Tunas.. although the property is zoned commercial. The apartment referred ty by Agency Member Chang are not in the boundaries of the proposed plan. If the concept housing is developed it would assist the Agency in meeting its low/moderate income housing goals. Residential units would support the I commercial development, as well. The potential for housing is just a concept at this time. The Assistant City Manager/Director of Development Services recommended that the Council/Agency proceed with the resolutions: The Assistant City Manager/Director of Development Services presented for ADOPTON and read the title of RESOLUTION ARA-198.
