The area noted as potential commercial development on the site plan contains approximately 3 acres and will only occur if and when the General Plan is amended and the property is assembled because the area shown north of Elm is not within the boundary of the Redevelopment Area. The Block "A" site will consist of approximately 100,000 (+ or - 10,000) square feet of new and /or relocated Commercial use. The area north of Elm Avenue to Hermosa between Rosemead Boule- vard and Reno would allow for an additional 30,000 square feet of commercial space. The total 11 -acre site would be expected to provide for approximately 130,000 square feet of commercial floor area. The parking ratio for the entire area will be no less than four (4) spaces for each 1,000 square feet of Commercial use with adequate provisions for loading facilities for major tenants. The building in which the Bank of America is located may be demolished and the business relocated elsewhere in the Center. As a minimum, the land area outside the building pad would be integrated into the parking lot provisions of the Center. It is expected that the Savings and Loan building will remain and the land area outside the building pad will be integrated into the parking lot provisions of the Center.
