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. reement Resolution x EXHIBITS Ordinance_ Platte Notification List_ ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Attached Submitted on FINANCIAL IMPACT N/A STAFF Appr ISSION RECOMMENDATION N/A COUNCIIJ ACTION
