TITLE
Recommendation to request the Planning Commission to study and recommend amendments to the Southeast Area Development Improvement Plan (SEADIP), Planned Development Area Number One. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
This item is the presentation of a Final Concept Plan for certain subareas of the Southeast Area Development Improvement Plan (SEADIP). This Plan was developed by a resident committee that is advisory to Council member Gary Delong. The committee began meeting in September 2006 to develop a vision statement and a draft concept plan for the area bounded by loynes Drive to the north, the San Gabriel River to the south and east, and Marina Drive and Marina Pacifica residential to the west. These parcels are indicated on the attached map.
Since April 2007, the Draft Concept Plan has been shared with the community at sixteen community meetings. Fourteen of these meetings took place at regularly scheduled neighborhood meetings and the other two meetings were SEADIP specific meetings at lowell Elementary School. The Draft Concept Plan was also presented to the Planning Commission on April 19 , 2007 at a study session for comment and public testimony.
The primary purpose of the community meetings was to gather community opinions and feedback on the Draft Concept Plan. The committee has heard comments from community members and the Planning Commission, and has finalized the Concept Plan.
The next step will be for the City Council to request the Planning Commission to review and prepare suggested amendments to the SEADIP plan, and to prepare the appropriate environmental review document, subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
This report was reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Michael Mais on May 29,2007.
