ITEM EDSPLANATION
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES_ NO x )
One of the proposals set forth in the Mayor's State of the City message was the considera-
tion b the City Council of the establishment of an additional central business district
red eve opment project area. The reason for consideration of a Project Area No. 2 is
based pon the belief that the City and the Redevelopment Agency were moving ahead
succes fully with the stimulation of redevelopment on Third Avenue and the new recog-
nition that the central business district was not limited to the Third Avenue area,
but al o encompassed the area from Third Avenue to Broadway from H to I Street, which
includ s the new South County Regional Center, the Chula Vista Shopping Center and the
Home F it Shopping Center. Such a new redevelopment project area will provide a vehicle
for el'minating traffic circulation problems in the entire area and assisting in any
necess ry relocation of facilities to provide a more cohesive and rational circulation
for cu tourers within the commercial centers. The establishment of a South County Regional
Center will have an especially significant impact upon traffic which cannot be resolved
with t e confines of the existing redevelopment project area. Problems of street widenings,
realig ments, and closing of right of ways to establish new and more desirable movement
patter s within the total centr,sl business district can be best approached by the creation
of a n w project area.
The su ject resolution establishes the boundaries for the area. They may be amended at
any ti e prior to the public hearing for the Plan. The boundaries have been carefully
drawn o avoid most of the residential uses in the area. The major intersections of
Fourth and "H", Broadway and "H", Broadway and "I" are included. A Preliminary Plan
will b forwarded to the Planning Commission based upon these boundaries. The Redevelopment
Agency meeting set for February 2 will also consider said Plan. Upon acceptance by both
the Pl nning Commission and Redevelopment Agency, work on the Master Environmental Impact
Report and Redevelopment Plan itself will begin.
