[~800] PROCEDURE FOR AMENDMENT This Plan may be amended by means of the procedure established in Sections 33450- 33458 of the Community Redevelopment Law or by any other procedure established by law. IX. [~ 900] NEIGHBORHOOD IMP ACT ELEMENT The Project Area does contain low and moderate income housing. The impact of the Project upon the residents of the Project Area and ,surrounding areas has been described with specificity in the draft Environmental Impact Report which the Agency has prepared as the lead agency in this Project and placed on file with the City Clerk in conjunction with this Plan. 1- 'I- I Relocation: By using rehabilitation of existing structures through owner participation agreements, the Agency plans to minimize relocation of residential owners and occupants. It: however, parcels are needed for the construction of public improvements or to successfully implement this Plan, relocation will be unavoidable. No specific estimate can be made at this time of the number ofparoels and residents that co\lld be so affected. 'j Traffic Circulation: Traffic circulation in residential area, while generally adequate, requires some modification. Construction and installation of pedestrian walkways and signal devices will increase safety in these areas. The installation ofadequate arterial traffic controls and the provision for increased parking and the improvements to be made to First Avenue will encourage more commercially oriented circulation in the commercial use areas along First Avenue and Huntington Drive. The provision of railroad over and underpasses will increase vehicular and pedestrian safety while providing for better traffic circulation. Environmental Duality: The short run impact of the Project may be negative because of the traffic, noise and debris associated with rehabilitation and construction. However, after the development is complete, the aesthetic improvements throughout the Project, coupled witlt the decrease in traffic circulation in the residential areas and the provisions for the installation of pedestrian walkways and signal devices and adequate arterial traffic controls, will be significant improvements of environmental quality. t) I_ I . Availabilitv of Communi tv Facilities and Services: Improved traffic circulation will permit greater access to the municipal services within and without the Project Area. Sidewalks to be installed will definitely improve pedestrian movement and safety. Improvements to the Arcadia County Park will expand and make more available and accessible community facilities and services in the Project Area and in the community. '1 19 The development ofnewconunercial uses and the development of the Fashion Park Regional ~ Shopping Center will create convenient and additional shopping and services to both the ~ Project Area and the City of Arcadia. Effect on School Population and Ouality of Education: The use of rehabilitation of existing residential dwellings ili' conjunction with the development of multi-family dwellings, where,such uses are permitted, (which multi-family residential uses are anticipated to produce a lesser iinpacton school population than single-family residential uses) indicate that the Project will have little effeet on the school population. Propertv Assessments and Taxes: The improvements to real property will probably result in higher assessed values. The increase will probably be greater for commercial use properties and presently unde...eloped property than for properties with existing residential uses. Because of recent property tax reform legislation, no accurate projection of tax rates can be made. The intent of such legislation, however, was to reduce real property tax rates. Other Matters Affectimr the Physical and Social Ouality of the Neit!:hborhood:To the extent that portions of the Project Area are underdeveloped and improvement projects are currently under construction or conunitted, change and development are going to come in the Project Area'notwithstariding the adoption of a redevelopment plan for the area. The adoption of a redevelopment plan and its implementation by the Agency, in cooperation with other eiltitiesincluding the Project Area Committee, are means of assuring community control of the manner in which the inevitable changes willatTect the physical and social quality ofthe neighborhood. . e I. n - 20 ~ H '" H o-il :>- ce e e CURRENT PROJECT AREA BOUNDARY AND lAND USE MAP .( 19941 ... .-MIII WflQJ.Q ,. ~. ~ ...
