VII. REDEVELOPMENT ITEMS
A. Appointment of a PAC member and Neighborhood Resident for the Selection Committee for the Broadway/MLK Development Site
Mr. Pahule presented this item and requested that the committee appoint a PAC member and a neighborhood resident to sit on the project selection committee. Ms. Davis appointed committee member Harry Azar to the selection committee. Mr. Ray White offered to attend any meetings Mr. Azar can not attend. Each of the three neighborhood resident applicants spoke to the committee to voice why they should be selected to sit on the selection committee. Following their testimony the PAC voted by secret ballot and Mr. Henry McKnight was appointed to the selection committee.
B. Donner Field Request for Proposals
Ms. Powers presented this item to the PAC and requested input from the committee on the type of project they would like to see on the project site located at the corner of 8th Avenue and 45th Street. This project had been presented to the PAC previously under different circumstances. The site is located near both single family residence and the Stockton commercial corridor. The proximity to both of these land uses provides an opportunity for a higher density residential development. Examples of higher density developments were shown to the committee members.
All committee members present, except one, liked the suggestion of a higher density development on this site. There was one suggestion for the addition of a retail/office component to this development. There was a concern that the traffic may be impacted negatively by a higher density development, however staff commented that once a project is taken forward it will go through a planning check process which will cover any traffic impacts the project will have on this site.
Staff will prepare a draft RFP and return to the PAC before releasing the RFP in August 2004.
C. 2005-2009 Implementation Plan Update
Mr. Pahule presented this item. He provided a review of some of the projects that were completed under the current 2000-2004 Implementation Plan as well as a few of the projects that have not been completed. This item will return on the June agenda in order to give the PAC the opportunity to discuss possible projects for the future Implementation Plan. After receiving input from the PAC, staff will return with a final list of projects in July for the PAC to take an action on.
D. Creation of a Citywide Redevelopment Housing Fund
This item was pulled from the agenda and will be presented at a future meeting.
