    Attachment C THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA PACIFIC CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FY2008–2012 DRAFT NOVEMBER 1, 2007 REQUIRED BY HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 33490 ADOPTED: __________________ I. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA INFORMATION A. PROJECT AREA CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND This Five Year Implementation for the Pacific Corridor Redevelopment Project serves two purposes: (1) first, it provides a progress report on the previous Five Year Implementation Plan adopted by the Agency on May 1, 2002 for the reporting period FY2002-2007 (Previous Plan), and (2) second it lays out the Goals and Objectives of the Project Area, specific programs, including potential projects, and estimated expenditures for the next Five Years. The Pacific Corridor Redevelopment Project is located in the community of San Pedro, approximately 25 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles at the terminus of the Harbor 110 Freeway. The Project Area is an irregularly-shaped area bounded by North Capitol Drive on the north; the west side of Gaffey Street on the west; 24th Street on the south; and the west side of Harbor Boulevard on the east. The area is adjacent to the existing Beacon Street Redevelopment Project adopted by the Agency in 1969. The Project Area is strategically located next to the Los Angeles Harbor and is comprised of approximately 693 acres. San Pedro began as a maritime community in 1769 with a rich heritage tied to fishing and sea borne commerce, and is among the oldest parts of Los Angeles. Today, San Pedro is home to a number of regional and national tourist attractions, including Ports O’Call Village, Cabrillo Beach, Point Fermin Park and Lighthouse, Cabrillo Museum and Aquarium, Korean Friendship Bell and Fort Mac Arthur Historical Museum.

  • 3.4 Cultural Resources
    3.4 1 CULTURAL RESOURCES 2 3.4.1 Introduction 3 This section describes the affected environment and regulatory setting for cultural 4 resources, as well as the impacts on cultural resources that would result from the 5 proposed Project and its alternatives, and the mitigation measures that would reduce 6 these impacts. Cultural resources customarily include archaeological resources, 7 ethnographic resources, and those of the historical built environment (architectural 8 resources). Though not specifically a cultural resource, paleontological resources 9 (fossils pre-dating human occupation) are considered here because they are discussed 10 in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines (Environmental Checklist Form), in the 11 context of Section V, Cultural Resources. A paleontological technical report was 12 prepared for this project by Michael X. Kirby and Thomas A. Deméré of the 13 Department of PaleoServices at the San Diego Natural History Museum, San Diego, 14 California, and is attached as Appendix F.1 to this document. Information pertaining 15 to prehistoric and historical archaeological resources is based in part upon the 16 archaeological resources study conducted by ICF Jones & Stokes that is attached as 17 Appendix F.2 to this document. Additionally, a technical report for the historical 18 built environment (architectural resources) is attached as Appendix F.3 to this 19 document. 20 CEQA Guidelines Section 15120(d) prohibits an EIR from including information 21 about the location of archaeological sites or sacred lands: “No document prepared 22 pursuant to this article that is available for public examination shall include… 23 information about the location of archaeological sites and sacred lands.” Therefore, 24 the specific locations of archaeological sites have been omitted from this chapter and 25 the cultural resources technical reports are a confidential appendix to this document.

  • Board Memo Template
    THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA M E M O R A N D U M 11 DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2011 VARIOUS TO: CRA/LA BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FROM: CHRISTINE ESSEL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER STAFF: STEVE VALENZUELA, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER DAISY PAN, ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST SUBJECT: Amendment to Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule. Fourth Amendment to Adopted Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule, in accordance with Assembly Bill 1x-26. All Regions (CDs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15) RECOMMENDATIONS That the CRA/LA Board of Commissioners amend the Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule (EOPS) pursuant to AB1x-26, and direct staff to post the amended schedule on the CRA/LA website, transmit copies to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller, the State Controller and the California Department of Finance. SUMMARY The CRA/LA is currently operating under AB1x-26, the redevelopment “dissolution” bill adopted as a trailer bill to the State budget (California Statutes 2011, Chapter 5, approved by the Governor on June 28, 2011). On August 11, 2011, the California Supreme Court ordered a stay stopping implementation of most sections of AB1x-26 and all of its companion legislation, AB1x- 27. On August 17, 2011 the Court modified its order to permit implementation of certain sections of AB1x-26 and AB1x-27. Overall, the effect of the two Court orders is to keep the CRA/LA in a state of suspension by prohibiting it from engaging in new activities. The August 17, 2011 order, however, reinstated the requirement that the CRA/LA adopt, at a public hearing, an Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule (EOPS), listing the CRA/LA’s payment obligations through December 31, 2011.
