ROLL CALL: Present: Councilmen: Andersen, Hunter, Maude, Pike, Taylor Board Members: Andersen, Hunter, Maude, Pike, Taylor Absent: None Ex officio: Andersen, Gunn, Miller, Watson PUBLIC HEARING 3. PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PROJECT AREA NO. 1 IN THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD. Mr. Larry Morrison of the consulting firm of Wilsey & Ham gave an illustrated report on the proposed Redevelopment Plan, and answered numerous questions of those in the audience. Mr. Gunn presented in detail the proposed modifications to the Redevelopment Plan. In summary they are: A. Proposed service roads to industrial properties fronting on Garvey Avenue. Recommendation: In view of the findings, staff believes the City and property owners in the area would stand to lose more than would be gained by the construction of pro- posed service roads. While these roads would be to some advantage to industrial properties it is the firm opinion that more problems would be created than would be solved, and great residential inconvenience would result. There- fore, staff suggests that the proposed service roads north and south of Garvey Avenue be deleted from the Redevelopment Plan. B. Proposed medical clinic and public buildings on the south- west corner of San Gabriel Boulevard and Garvey Avenue. Recommendation: Following personal contact with the County Librarian, County Fire Department and postal officials, and in light of the findings, staff recommends that the plan for a proposed medical clinic and government offices at above location be deleted from the Redevelopment Plan. C. Proposed new housing on lands owned by the City of Monterey Park. Recommendation: Inasmuch as the City of Monterey Park has prepared plans for additional wells, etc., which will require most of the land which they presently own within the City and since use of the land would be only temporary as to recrea- tional use, staff suggests that the housing proposed for this land be deleted from the Redevelopment Plan. Other vacant or poorly utilized properties may be substituted. r� Page Two CC /RRA 6/20/72 Mr. Gunn stated that the City staff will continue to review in depth,other proposals in the Redevelopment Plan and wherever " possible suggest ways and means of achieving a viable plan and program for the initial project area.
