5. COMMUNICATIONS
A. CITIZEN REQUEST REGARDING REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Business Owner Linda Payne requested discussion of the Las Tunas new redevelopment project
area.
Executive Director Martin stated many questions have arisen regarding the new project area. It
was emphasized that the Agency is studying the feasibility of the project, and that no decision has
been made as yet whether or not to proceed with the Las Tunas Redevelopment Project Area. Mr.
Martin introduced the team assembled to embark on this project who were present to provide
information and answer questions of the public: Michael Montgomery, Attorney to head up legal
matters; Fred Lyte, expert in assembling the redevelopment package; Doug Jacobsen, realtor
involved in the first element of the project — the Edwards Theater; Dudley Lang, expert in EIRs
and redevelopment procedures; and Mike Wagner, expert in redevelopment plans.
Linda Payne, 9660 Las Tunas Drive, asked the panel to go over what is involved in a
redevelopment process, what boundaries have been established and what ideas the team has for
the Edwards Theater area.
Tln„g .Tarnlican responded that his company has a number of alternatives on various aspects of the
Edwards Theater area which will be provided to the city for direction as to a specific plan.
Feedback from corporate retail has been very positive. No residences are involved in this area at
this time as the project area stops at the parking lot that currently exists.
Fred T.yte stated the first key is to look at alternatives that could be put onto that property for
assessment. It depends on what the city chooses to do and is very early yet in the process.
Mayor Souder confirmed the project area boundaries to be Rowland to Rosemead and Workman to
Woodruff.
Michael Montgomery reviewed the process of designating a redevelopment area, and the criteria
that must be established. Redevelopment laws were enacted to provide for areas unable to develop
on their own without assistance. The proposed project area properties are 50 -75 years old and
most do not have ADA access or adequate parking. Most of the businesses have declining sales
tax. A committee of survey area residents will be formed to participate in the process. Proper
