City’s General Plan Update, July 8 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 be oriented to multi-family neighborhoods and to properties near the intersection of Rosemead Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive.” Regarding the latter, Reimers said, “Future land uses near Rosemead Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive, more specifically the K- Mart and Office Depot shopping center, would fall under the Cross- roads Specific Plan, a detailed plan that would transform the area into a community destination complete with shops, restaurants, services and entertainment.” The site would take shape of a lifestyle center, a mixed-use development that pairs higher-density housing with retail and leisure amenities. The General Plan Update’s proposed land uses were the result of a three-year process overseen by a 12-member General Plan Advi- sory Committee. Along with approving a vision statement and guiding principles for the project, the committee coordinated the upcoming community workshops as public forums to vet and confirm recommended land uses. Participants of the workshops also will discuss potential environmental impacts related to the proposed land uses, including their anticipated effects on traffic, air quality and greenhouse gas emis- sions. Comments collected during the sessions will be incorporated into a final General Plan Update, which will be presented before the City Council later this fall. Chinese translation will be available at both meetings. To arrange services, phone the city clerk’s office 72 hours in advance of the meeting at 626-285-2171, ext. 4132. For more information on the proposed General Plan Update, phone Scott Reimers at 626-656-7316 or visit www.MakeTCHappen.com. Sales tax rates set to increase, July 1 Effective July 1, the sales and use tax rate for Temple City will increase from the current rate of 8.75% to 9.25%. The .5% tax increase was approved by California voters in November 2016 (Measure M) and applies to the county of Los Angeles, including all cities and unincorporated areas.

Summer’s here and the living is easy, especially if you are hosting family and friends and would like to take them out for a meal in Temple City. If it seems like there is a new restaurant opening up every month, it is because Temple City has become a foodie destination offering a very wide range of dining options from a pastrami sandwich at The Hat or Oaxacan Mexican sauces at El Ruizenor Grill to a diverse range of all sorts of Chinese and Korean offerings. Following are some top dining destinations in Temple City:

One of the harder-to-find regional Chinese cuisines in the U.S. is China’s Imperial Court Cuisine (Gong Ting Cai). Chinese Imperial Cuisine is a cooking style reserved traditionally only for the Emperor and the royal family, but is available at Bistro Na’s in Temple City. And the truly beautiful interior design and attentive service elevate the dining experience to atmospheric levels. Bistro Na is located at 9055 Las Tunas Dr. in Temple City. 626-286-1999.

Clearman’s Galley Ahipoki Bowl AKA “The Boat,” watch Dodgers games on one of their many screens, Since its opening day, Ahipoki Bowl has been a including a huge 15-foot HD screen, while enjoying hot-off-the-grill popular option for delicious healthy Hawaiian fu- entrees paired with a beverage from a massive bar with impressive draft sion cuisine with food made to order and served selection including imported, domestic and craft beers as well as wines right before your eyes. Sourced from the freshest and inventive cocktails. Don’t forget the addictive cheese bread. (Little ingredients guarantees the freshest ahi poke seafood. tykes will scarf down the grilled cheese and fries or the creamy Mac ‘n There is often a line at lunchtime. (See ad, below.) Cheese.)

With a few days notice, the restaurant can customize a party menu and even whip up a special cocktail menu for your event. The Galley is at 7215 N. Rosemead Blvd., San Gabriel. www.clearmansgalley.com.

Cabrera’s Mexican Cuisine Since opening its doors in 1985, Cabrera’s Fam- ily Restaurant has served quality Mexican-Ameri- can cuisine to generations of families. Today, Cabrera’s Mexican Cuisine operates and owns three localities serving delicious and fresh Mexican- American food and other dishes that are served Mexican style. The business also runs a successful Bistro Na’s catering operation, so book them for that summer barbecue event. Cabrera’s is located at 625 E. Live There’s a reason this restaurant topped the list Oak Ave., Arcadia. www.cabreras.com of “Everything You Should Be Eating During The San Gabriel Valley Asian Restaurant Dining Week”: Clearman’s North Woods Inn Just across the same shared parking lot and around the corner of the block, The Boat’s upscale sister restaurant with its distinct Swiss Chalet exterior is a warm, woodsy family restaurant with a stuffed bear, and cheese bread to die for. Everyone will find something to their taste in the menu, but you will want to devour the very fine steaks. And leave room for the famous cheese bread. Clearman’s North Woods Inn is located at 7247 N. Rosemead Blvd., San Gabriel.

El Ruizenor Grill Named Best Restaurant of the Year, every day is like Cinco de Mayo when you bite into Chef/Owner Norma Perez’s interpretations of Oaxacan cuisine from her native Mexico. That region is known for its sauces and El Ruizenor Grill does not disappoint. The delicious break- fasts are the reason the Chamber hosts its business breakfast mixers here, but the full bar makes it a terrific place for lunch and dinner.

Kang Ho-Dong Baekjeong Consistently ranked as one of the top 10 Korean BBQ restaurants in Koreatown, it was a red letter day when this branch of the wildly popular restaurant opened in Temple City.
