ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION October 9, 2007
One of the major goals was to improve economic development along Valley Boulevard. In
an effort to achieve this goal, the Council requested that a downtown vision or specific plan
be prepared for Valley Boulevard.
Over the last several months, staff contacted firms who specialize in preparing specific or
vision plans and requested that they provide the City with an estimate to prepare a similar
document for Valley Boulevard. Staff received responses from Larry Moss and Associates
and EDAW/AECOM.
Recommendation: That the Community Development Commission approve the proposal
from EDAW/AECOM and appropriate $50,000 in unallocated redevelopment funds to fund
this project.
Exclusive Negotiating Agreement - Pacific Enterprise
Mr. David Kuo, CEO of Pacific Enterprise, has recently submitted a request for an
Exclusive Negotiating Agreement ("ENA") with the Rosemead Community Development
Commission ("CDC") for a proposed high-end hotel at 8711 & 8729 Valley Boulevard. It is
staff's opinion that there is a need for additional high end hotel rooms along Valley
Boulevard in Rosemead based upon the high occupancy rates in our hotels currently, as
well as high rates in our neighboring communities.
Staff has worked with the CDC's legal counsel and the developer to draft an ENA which is
acceptable to the City and developer.
Recommendation: That the Commission approve the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement
between the Rosemead Community Development Commission and Pacific Enterprise for
the development of a proposed project at 8711 & 8729 Valley Boulevard
.5. ADJOURNMENT
The next Community Development Commission meeting will take place on October 23,
