ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSION MEMBERS
FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER &L - - C-e^:-
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2007
SUBJECT: PROJECT AREA MERGER PROPOSAL
SUMMARY
Currently, California Redevelopment Law allows for cities that currently have more than
one active redevelopment project area to be able to merge these areas into one. The
benefit of merging project areas is the ability to spend tax increment funds generated in
one area in another. In the City of Rosemead, this would allow tax exempt bond
proceeds as well as tax increment generated project Area No. 1 to be spent in Project
Area No. 2 for various capital improvement projects like street rehabilitation, public
facilities renovations, etc.
As part of the 2007 -2008 CDC Budget, the Commission approved funding for the
purpose of merging our two (2) redevelopment project areas. Staff has solicited
proposals from reputable redevelopment consulting firms specializing in project area
mergers and received responses from Urban Futures, Inc. and Keyser Marston
Associates, Inc. Based upon previous relevant experience, thoroughness of the
response, and overall price, staff is recommending that Urban Futures be selected to
perform the project area merger.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Community Development Commission enter into a
professional services agreement with Urban Futures Incorporated in the amount of
$135,000 for redevelopment consulting services.
ANALYSIS
Staff solicited proposals from a variety of firms specializing in redevelopment project
area merger services. The City received a response from two firms:
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. $142,000
Urban Future Incorporated $135,000
Urban Futures, Inc.'s has provided redevelopment plan adoption, amendment, and
merger services to over 100 redevelopment agencies in California. They are well
APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: O

known in the redevelopment profession for their overall expertise and attention to detail.
Their planning and redevelopment staff has over 50 years of municipal experience in
redevelopment law and practice, planning, and public finance. While staffs
recommendation is not solely based on price, Urban Futures' proposal is $7,000 less
than KMA.
Based upon a preliminary time schedule, Urban Futures anticipates that the merger
process will take approximately one year to complete.

Rosemead, CA 91770
Dear Mr. Chi:
As requested please find included herewith the Urban Futures, Inc. (UFI) Proposal to Complete
the Anticipated 2008 Amendment to the Redevelopment Plans for the Rosemead
Redevelopment Project Area Nos. 1 and 2.
This proposal to merge Project Areas No. 1 and No. 2 pursuant to specific merger provisions
under the California Community Redevelopment Law incorporates new requirements
established under SB1206 and other newly adopted bills affecting redevelopment plan
amendments that have now been codified in the CCRL statutes, having become state law on
January 1, of this year. With these new requirements in mind, in addition to our own in -house
blight discovery and analysis techniques, our overall approach (and professional services fee)
provides for an economic blight analysis to be prepared by the offices of Alfred Gobar
Associates (AGA), economists. We believe that the inclusion of AGA in this endeavor is
extremely important because of the intense focus on the presence of economic blight as a
precursor to amending a redevelopment plan, regardless of the specific objective(s) of the
amendment.
It is our understanding that the Commission may also be interested in other redevelopment plan
amendment actions including the addition of new territory, reinstating eminent domain authority,
and extending the life of Project Area No. 1, for a maximum ten year period pursuant to CCRL
Sections 33333.11 and 33333.10. We would be pleased to discuss any one or all of these
possible amendment actions as a possible supplement_ to this proposal or as an entirely
separate scope of work.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our
offices.
Sincerely,
URBAN FUTURES, INC.

Proposal Redevelopment Plan Amendment Services
A PROPOSAL TO COMPLETE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT SERVICES
FOR THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
BACKGROUND & APPROACH
The Rosemead Community Development Commission (the "Commission" [activated on January
22, 2002 by Ordinance No.: 821]) currently administers Redevelopment Project Area No. 1
( "Project No. 1 "), which includes approximately 511 acres, and Redevelopment Project Area
No. 2 ( "Project No. 2 "), which includes about 203 acres; both Project Areas are shown on
Attachments A and B included herewith'. The Commission is now proposing to amend the
redevelopment plans (collectively the "Plans ") for Project Nos. 1 and 2 (collectively the "Projects
or "Project Areas ") for the purpose of merging the Projects (the "Amendment') pursuant to
authority codified under Article 16 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (CCRL;
Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) commencing with Section 33480, and other
applicable CCRL Sections as most recently amended .2
UFI staff is very knowledgeable of statutory requirements, case law, and recent legislative
amendments in the form of SB1206 and others (being effective January 1, 2007) relative to
redevelopment plan amendments. Inasmuch as redevelopment plan adoption and amendment
activities are receiving increased scrutiny from lawmakers, taxing entities and the public
generally, in addition to our usual due diligence, focus on Project detail, and sensitivity to client
and community issues, UFI will make an extra effort to help the Commission comply with all new
legal requirements affecting this amendment process including those specific to blight
documentation and analysis. Of course, all tasks identified below will be completed in full
compliance with appropriate provisions of the CCRL.
The UFI approach to processing the Amendment is "turn -key" and includes all aspects of
CEQA compliance, and preparation of all required resolutions and attendant staff reports."
' The City Council adopted the redevelopment plan for Project No. 1 on June 22, 1972 (by Ordinance No.: 340). This
redevelopment plan has been amended on three occasions; December 9, 1986 (by Ordinance No.: 592) to establish the tax
increment collection limit [about $250MM], and to establish eminent domain sunset date; December 20, 1994 (by Ordinance
No.: 752) to comply with AS 1290; and January 22, 2002 (by Ordinance No.: 822), to eliminate the Plan's date restriction on
establishing loans, advances and indebtedness. It should be noted here that without extension the effective life of the Plan
for Project No. 1 will expire on June 27, 2012, 18 years before the expiration of the effective life of the Plan for Project No. 2.
The City Council adopted the redevelopment plan for Project No. 2 on June 27, 2000 (by Ordinance No.: 809); this Plan
has not been amended. If this Plan is the 30 year maximum term it will expire in June 2030.
z The Amendment falls under the general provisions of CCRL Section 33354.6(a); the UFI approach to processing the
Amendment will also be guided by recently amended CCRL Articles 12 and 16 (2006; effective January 1, 2007), which
amendments included the addition of CCRL Section 33451.5, and modification to existing CCRL Sections 33456, and
33486, respectively.
3 CEQA means the California Environmental Quality Act, as codified under Public Resources Code Division 13,
Environmental Protection.
° Other than meeting attendance, UFI only requires that Agency staff provide information as requested, and review
completed documents as appropriate and necessary to ensure consistency and accuracy with respect to the "local
perspective."

• Rosemead Com*ty Development Commission
Proposal for Redevelopment Plan Amendment Services
PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
Urban Futures (and, to the extent described herein, Alfred Gobar Associates) proposes to
complete the following work tasks:
Task 1: Prepare and Monitor Project Schedule; Meet with Staff (or at a later date per staff)
Task 2: Prepare Property and Business Interest Exhibits for Use by Commission Legal
Counsel /City Attorney to Determine Public Official's Potential for Conflict of Interest
Task 3: Conduct parcel specific Blight Reconnaissance in the Project Areas
Task 4: Formulate Taxing and Environmental Entity Transmittal Manifests
Task 5: Prepare and Transmit Courtesy Notice of Plan Amendment to all Affected Taxing
Entities
Task 6: Prepare and Present Advisory Briefing for City Planning Commission Information
Purposes
Task 7: Prepare and Transmit CCRL Section 33344.5 Preliminary Report Including
Required CCRL Section 33451.5(c) [2006] and 33486(a) [2006] Components 6
Task 8: Prepare Amendments to Plans'
Task 9: Review Commission Indebtedness, Bonding, and Housing Compliance Status Vis-
a-Vis CCRL Sections 33486(b) and 33487; As Necessary Provide
Recommendations to Staff with Respect Thereto
Task 10: Prepare for and Conduct Commission Workshop for Briefing and Update on Blight
Analyses, Task 9 Findings, and Other Amendment Activities to Date
Task 11: Prepare Initial Study, Negative Declaration, and Related Notices per CEQA
Requirements"
5 This Proposal assumes UFI will complete parcel level field reconnaissance in the Project Areas in full compliance with
the provisions of CCRL Sections 33354.6(a), 33451.5(c) [2006], and 33486(a) [2006]. The Commission could elect to fund a
less intensive "block - level' review of the Project Areas rather than the parcel -level analysis; however, we believe the cost of
the more intensive parcel specific field review and subsequent analysis is minimal compared with the risk that a block -level
survey might not be found sufficient to ultimately allow the City Council to find that "significant blight remains within one
of the project areas" (CCRL Sections 33486(a)), and that the Project Area(s) contain "necessary and essential parcels
for the elimination of the remaining blight" (CCRL Section 33451.5(c)(1). The UFI approach to field reconnaissance,
blight discovery, and analysis is shown in Attachment C, included herewith.
6 Alfred Gobar Associates (AGA) will prepare the economic blight analysis (baseline analysis) component of the 33344.5
Preliminary Report including the required 33451.5(c) [2006] and 33486(a) [2006] components, and the CCRL Section 33352
Report to the City Council. The AGA analysis will document those conditions and trends indicative of economic dislocation
described in the AGA work scope included herewith as Attachment D. This Proposal does not anticipate the use of other
adjunct professionals.
The Amended Plans will incorporate all revisions necessary to affect proposed amendment actions and may be written
to replace and supersede the existing Plans.

assumes preparation and distribution of a negative declaration the basis of which will be fully explained in the initial study
prepared for the Amendment, cost of EIR preparation is not included in this proposal.
e Planning Commission role in CEQA compliance process may /may not be required; Agency staff must provide
consultant with Agency's adopted CEQA Implementation Plan Guidelines.
10 City Attorney /Commission special counsel should provide written opinion as to adequacy of City's General Plan prior to
the commencement of Amendment proceedings. UFI will not be responsible for making this determination.
11 UFI will use GIS and Metroscan to develop parcel manifest; mail house participation based upon separate contract.
UFI will provide mail house reference; Commission may designate preferred mail house contractor. Joint Public Hearing
notices must be sent to all persons with an interest, as defined under the CCRL, in the Project Areas.
12 This is the only required "consultation" with affected taxing entities. In the event a consultation(s) is requested by one or
more taxing entities UFI will participate in the consultation process as directed by staff on a time and materials basis.
10 This Proposal does not include UFI /AGA time to respond to objections that the Commission may receive from the State
Department of Finance and /or HCD prior to or at the joint public hearing (CCRL Section 33451.5(e) and (f) [2006]). If
requested by the client, UFI /AGA will participate in preparing responses on a time and materials basis.

MEETING ATTENDANCE
This Proposal provides for UFI staff to prepare for and attend seven (7) meetings. These will
consist of the following: two (2) City Planning Commission meetings (see task nos. 6 and 12);
one (1) public workshop (property owners /tenants /residents, see task no. 19); three (3)
Commission /City Council meetings (one meeting as directed; includes task nos. 9 and 20); and
one (1) staff meeting at City Hall.
IF - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEE
UFI proposes to complete the proposed scope of work for a fixed professional services fee of
$125,000. In addition to our professional services fee, UFI advises the Commission that
additional funds should be set aside for Amendment - related expenses to be incurred by the
Commission. These costs are generally outlined below:
• Document printing costs,
• Joint Public Hearing mailings (estimated to be about $2.50 per mailed piece
[includes postage, printing, and handling]) and other mailing costs,
• CEQA fees of approximately $1,800,
• GIS and /or other electronic data purchase from County of Los Angeles or other
sources (if utilized),
• Mail house services, and
• "Out of Pocket" travel costs such as car rental and other travel expenses.
We recommend that the Commission budget an estimated additional $10,000 for these costs.
Please note that these costs will be incurred from third party vendors and will be invoiced to the
Commission as described below. The commission will receive invoices or receipts, as
appropriate, for each of these costs.
All out -of- pocket expenses incurred by UFI including postage, travel, electronic data files, etc.,
or other funds sponsored by UFI to process the Amendment on the client's behalf will be
invoiced at cost plus a 10% administration /handling fee.
14 This professional services fee does include the services provided by Alfred Gobar Associates. This Proposal does not
include bilingual presentations or written materials; if the Agency deems these services to be necessary, they can be
provided for an additional fee. Legal services fees are not included as a part of the professional services fee indicated
herein nor are they included in the estimated $27,000 additional Amendment related costs set forth herein.
15 Joint Public Hearing notices must be transmitted to designated recipients within the Project Areas.

Subject: Project Amendment Economic Blight Assessment — Rosemead, California
Dear Jon:
Our understanding is an economic blight analysis is required in connection with an
amendment to merge two existing redevelopment Project Areas — Project Area No. 1
and Project Area No. 2. Each existing Project Area includes a diverse mix of land use
development and covers a large section of the City of Rosemead. The existing pattern
of land use in each Project Area affects the workscope required to assess whether or not
conditions indicative of economic blight remain present. A synopsis of existing land use
conditions in each Project Area is generally summarized below:
• Project Area No. 1 is located in the southern section of the City and covers large
contiguous areas of residential, commercial - retail land use. Garvey Avenue
functions as the primary commercial - retail corridor serving in the southern section
of the City. Project Area No. 1 includes a 1.2 -mile section of Garvey Avenue,
where existing land use is characterized by an eclectic mix of small strip -
commercial and freestanding retail activities. Residential neighborhoods within
Project Area No. 1 are situated to the north and south of Garvey Avenue and
extend to the southern limits of the existing Project Area. A scattering of office
and industrial land use also exists along major thoroughfares bisecting Project
Area No. 1.
Project Area No. 2 is located in the northern section of the City dominated by a
diverse mix of commercial land use on either side of Valley Boulevard and
Rosemead Avenue. Valley Boulevard functions as a primary commercial - retail
corridor and the Rosemead Avenue - Interstate 10 Freeway interchange
constitutes the single largest commercial - retail node serving the larger
community. Project Area No. 2 includes a 1.8 -mile stretch of Valley Boulevard
and nearly all commercial - retail land use along a 1.2 -mile section of Rosemead
Avenue.
Both Project Areas include important commercial - retail land use intended to serve the
community. Both Project Areas also include a diverse mix of land use generating
demand for public protection services required to reduce the threat of crime and public
safety burden on the community. Beginning in 2007, SB1206 makes important
legislative changes to the California Community Redevelopment Law that affect the
analysis of economic blight required in connection with the proposed amendment to
merge both Project Areas. Under the law, conditions that indicate blight must remain
present and significant in at least one of the two Project Areas to warrant the proposed

merger (CCRL Section 33486a). Based on the indicated legal requirements, the
recommended approach is to first assess each Project Area separately for conditions
indicating economic blight and then determine if existing conditions in either Project Area
are significant enough to warrant the proposed merger.
This proposal addresses recommended research to assess and evaluate conditions
indicative of economic blight. Most indicators of economic blight cannot be readily
assessed at a parcel - specific level due to the reporting limits of reliable data sources
used to assess economic conditions. Instead, the investigation of economic blight must
consider factors not readily identified by a visual inspection. A reasonably objective
assessment of economic blight conditions must rely on diverse sources of data that may
not readily describe the precise boundary of the Project Area. The economic blight
analysis for Rosemead, therefore, begins with an assessment of available data sources
to determine which of the following economic conditions to investigate on a priority basis:
• Depreciated or Stagnant Property Values
• Adequacy of Commercial Facilities
• Overcrowded Housing and Poverty
• Public Safety Risk and Related Economic Burden
For the Project Area to suffer from economic blight, only one economic condition must
exist. Our recommended approach is to begin an evaluation of multiple economic
conditions since blighted areas are often impacted by multiple impediments to economic
growth. The research objective corresponding to each condition noted above is
summarized as follows:
• Property Value Analysis — to determine the extent underlying land value has failed
to keep pace with comparable land use in the surrounding market area. Stagnant
property values are a manifestation of economic circumstances limiting the
utilization of property.
• Adequacy of Commercial Facilities — to determine the extent existing retail -
commercial facilities that provide needed retail products and services to
neighborhood residents are lacking and the extent existing commercial facilities
are otherwise plagued by excess vacancies, inordinately low lease rates, and
technically obsolete conditions that hinder economically viable commercial use.
This detailed analysis will focus on retail - commercial in one of the two existing
Project Areas based on review with Agency and Finance Department Staff.
• Overcrowded Housing and Poverty — to determine housing occupancy and
income levels within the Project Area using the latest information from Bureau of
Census and local service agencies compiling records of housing occupancy and
resident income. Overcrowded housing and poverty reflect living circumstances
closely associated with conditions of economic and social displacement
contributing to crime and public safety problems.
• Public Safety Risk — investigation of Police and Fire response call data for the
Project Area and comparable land use in other portions of Rosemead to
determine the extent residents and businesses suffer excessive public safety risk
(crime and fire hazard risk) and the City incurs an undue economic fiscal burden
to serve the area.

REQUIREMENTS FOR MERGER OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
There are specific provisions in the California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) that
govern the merging of redevelopment project areas.
Per Article 12 (commencing with Section 33450) of the CRL, the City Council may, by
ordinance, amend a redevelopment plan upon recommendation of the Agency. Before
recommending amendment of a redevelopment plan, the Agency is required to hold a public
hearing on the proposed amendment.
Article 16 (commencing with Section 33485) of the CRL includes the specific requirement and
procedures to be followed to merge redevelopment project areas. Per Section 33486(a), before
adopting the ordinance amending each affected redevelopment plan, the City Council shall find,
based on substantial evidence, that both of the following conditions exist:
Significant blight remains within one of the project areas.
2. This blight cannot be eliminated without merging the project areas and the receipt of
property taxes.

It. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Rosemead (the "Agency') would like assistance in
amending the Redevelopment Plans to merge Redevelopment Project No. 1 and
Redevelopment Project No. 2. The Merger would allow tax increment to be shared between the
Projects, but would not change the basic financial provisions including the provision to collect
tax increment.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) proposes to provide redevelopment plan amendment
services to the Agency. It is our understanding that the Agency will prepare the appropriate
environmental review document or will consult separately for these services. KMA would be
responsible for the overall coordination of the Amendment effort, and would prepare the
analysis evaluating the feasibility of merging Projects including financial feasibility. This would
include preparing and monitoring the Amendment adoption schedule; preparing the required
documents, including the amendments to the Redevelopment Plans; assisting in drafting staff
reports; and attending meetings. It is assumed that Redevelopment Project No. 1 and
Redevelopment Project No. 2 (the "Constituent Projects ") would retain separate Redevelopment
Plans. KMA has included a budget to prepare the required notices, resolutions and adoption
ordinances. Because both Projects are being amended to merge, two separate ordinances
would be required.
Because the Agency is not proposing to add territory or amend existing provisions for eminent
domain authority in the Constituent Project Areas, the formation of a Project Area Committee
(PAC) will not be required. In lieu of a PAC, the Agency will follow an alternative community
participation process including holding an information meeting to present the Amendments and
to receive input from property owners and occupants in the proposed Merged Project Area.
KMA will provide all of the necessary services to facilitate the community outreach effort.
KMA recommends that the Agency retain special legal counsel to oversee the merger process.
If legal counsel is retained, they may wish to prepare the Amendments, resolutions, notices and
ordinances. If this is the case, our scope and budget will be adjusted accordingly.
Finally, it is assumed that staff will handle all mailings and duplication of documents. We
recommend that staff contract with a mailing house to prepare and deliver the joint public
hearing notices.

Dear Ms. Ramirez:
JULIE L. ROMEY
SAN DIEGO Per your request, Keyser Marston Associates Inc. (KMA), has obtained an estimate for
GERALD M. TRIMBLE the cost of preparing an Initial Study /Negative Declaration for the proposed merger of
PAUL C. MARRA
Redevelopment Project Areas No. 1 and No. 2. Based upon discussions with Gail Ervin
Consulting, an environmental consultant, with whom we have worked with on
redevelopment adoptions and amendments, the cost to prepare an Initial Study /Negative
Declaration would be approximately $25,000. The actual cost may vary depending on
the need to prepare specialized technical studies. Assuming project start up in mid -
December, Gail Ervin Consulting estimates that the Initial Study /Negative Declaration
could be ready for circulation in mid - March. This is approximately one month later than
indicated in our amendment adoption schedule. So rather than a seven -month
amendment adoption process, the Agency should anticipate at least an eight -month
process.
