4. MATTERS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & STAFF
A. Community Development Commission Five-Year Implementation Plan
State law requires all redevelopment agencies to adopt an Implementation Plan (I P) every
five years. An IP is designed to address activities within redevelopment project areas
including goals, projects, and programs to eliminate blight and to encourage economic
vitality and the development of affordable housing.
At the August 11, 2009 meeting, the Commission was presented with the FY 2009-2013
Five-Year Implementation Plan for consideration. During that discussion, the Commission
requested that staff provide additional background information regarding the blight findings
included in the IP.
The Unified Report, approved by the Commission in February 2009, among other things,
identified significant economic and physical blight in both project areas. This is supported
in Section 5 of the Report and in Appendix D which is a parcel by parcel blight threshold
matrix. The types of "blight indicators" are defined by Redevelopment Law and include

ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION August 25, 2009
building deterioration, bars on windows/security fencing, code violations, poor site layout,
graffiti, lack of paint and weatherization protections, inoperable vehicles, ect. Each parcel
was assessed in a blight indicator test and given a weighted point value. While the
findings indicate that significant blight remains in the project areas, the varying degrees of
the existence of blight is not necessarily an indication of severely run-down or "slum-like"
conditions. Rather, such findings provide justification for redevelopment activities in the
area.
Recommendation: That the Rosemead Community Development Commission adopt
Resolution No. 2009-20 approving,the FY 2009-2013 Five-Year Implementation Plan.
