CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVAL: Nabar Enrique Martinez, City Managerfis. FROM: Hani W. Gabriel, Economic Development Director-flk, SUBJECT: Consideration and Adoption of an Ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of Colton Approving the West Valley Specific Plan DATE: June 18, 1996 BACKGROUND: The West Valley Redevelopment Project Area was adopted July, 1986, and amended June, 1987. In preparation for development in the West Valley Area, the Redevelopment Agency Board awarded a consultant services agreement to The Arroyo Group for the preparation of the West Valley Specific Plan April 19, 1994. The Specific Plan was prepared in response to the opportunities for economic growth and revitalization associated with the construction of the new County Medical Center and the community's desire to upgrade the overall appearance of the area and reverse deterioration of the residential areas near downtown. The recommendations of the Specific Plan are the result of a process which involved input from the community and City staff at a series of community workshops, market analyses by Udewitz Associates, The Arroyo Group's surveys for the area, and community discussion of alternatives. The Specific Plan is created pursuant to Section 65450 et seq. of the California Government Code and other applicable laws, and it is intended to provide for systematic implementation of the General Plan, as related to properties located in the area to which the West Valley Specific Plan applies. The Planning Commission at their December 12, 1995 meeting recommended approval of the West Valley Specific Plan to the City Council, and noted their appreciation of the professional work performed by Staff in the completion and presentation of the Specific Plan for consideration.
