MENT SURVEY AREA by Deputy Director Frank Gray_ He outlined the procedure
for designating a project area for redevelopment, which
will require recommendations from the Planning Cotwnission.
He then explained the intent of this,.meeting is to hear comments from the Agency
relevant to the designation of a project area. He added more than one project
area may be designated as the need arises; however, Mr. Gray relayed a cautionary
note suggesting designated project areas be large enough to include a sufficient
tax base for completion of a rbdevelopment plan, but not so large as to become
divergent, thereby losing sight of specific goals.
Concerns regarding revitalization of old buildings and adequate parking were
discussed, aLong with the development plan created by the Downtown. Association.
It was pointed out that the downtown merchants' cooperation is essential in
planning and implementation of redevelopment.projects. In the process of
recommending a project area, the Planning Commission will consider suggestions
of the Redevelopment Agency, the Downtown Association, and property owners in
the survey area.
Chairman Putnam concluded the meeting by directing the Planning Commission to
prepare a recommendation for the Agency's consideration outlining a designated
project area and submit a preliminary redevelopment plan for the recommended
project area.
