REPORT - URBAN RENEWAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE Mr. Horn submitted and read the
following report:
"The Urban Renewal Advisory Committee is pleased to unanimously
recommend your approval and acceptance of the study "Economic Potential of
the Anaheim Center City Area" prepared for the City by Economic Research
Associates. This Committee's recommendation is the culmination of contin-
uous and thorough consideration of the material in the report both while it
was in progress and after its completion. The Committee feels that the
consultant has fulfilled the contract for the research in a manner which
will prove most beneficial to the City of Anaheim.
The Committee also recommends that your body follow the recommen-
dation of the Economic Consultant in seeking a physical design planning
consultant to develop a plan for the center city area. It is felt that
this action is the next step in the center city revitalization effort.
Although this Committee's final report will not be complete until
early September, the Committee feels that enough information is available
to begin interviewing physical design planning consultants at this time.
The recommended physical plan for the center city will be needed regardless
of the final decision as to what kind of program might eventually be carried
out.
The Urban Renewal Advisory Committee has enjoyed the association
with the consultants and is looking forward to the continuance of this
program."
Mr. Horn further reported that communication from the public has
been very good, and that this project is something that should be kept moving;
not only the planning design but traffic pattern as well; that the further
necessary studies,whether to be accomplished by the Committee or the Agency,
is now a decision of the Agency.
Mr. Chandler moved that the report of the Urban Renewal Advisory
Committee be received and filed, and made a part of this meeting, and that
the report of the Economic Research Associates be accepted and payment for
money due them authorized. Mr. Krein seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Chandler, in expressing the feelings of the Agency and compli-
menting the Committee on their outstanding service, noted that when the
Committee was appointed, the City Council was unanimous in their opinion
that the Committee be composed of men who were of the caliber to continue
and be the Urban Redevelopment Agency itself, in the event the City
embarked upon an Urban Renewal program.
