A. Proposed Merger Amendment to the Redevelopment Plans for Rosemead
Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 and Rosemead Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 and
the Related Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
On November 20, 20007, the Rosemead Community Development Commission approved a
professional services agreement with Urban Futures Incorporated commencing the merger of
Project Area No. 1 and 2. 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 will allow tax
exempt bond proceeds as well as tax increment generated in Project Area No. 1 to be spent in
Project Area No. 2 for various capital improvement projects like street rehabilitation, public
facilities renovations, etc.
Recommendation: That the Community Development Commission review, consider, and adopt
Resolution No. 2009-02, 2009-03, and 2009-04, and transmit its recommendation to the City
Council of the City of Rosemead for its consideration.
Vice-Chairman Nunez made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Low, to approve
Resolution No. 2009-02 as a procedural step prior to opening the public hearing. Vote
