The public review draft (on file with the City Clerk) includes the revised Implementation Plan for the Business and Waterfront Improvement Project (BWIP) and the West End Community Improvement Project (VVECIP). The administrative draft Implementation Plan was presented to the Economic Development Commission (EDC) for review and comment on April 15. The EDC did not have any suggested changes. T he Implementation Plan for the Alameda Point Improvement Project (APIP) is not under consideration at this time, as this redevelopment area utilizes a different schedule. DISCUSSION An Implementation Plan is intended to identify programs focused on the goals of each Redevelopment Area and is not intended to address specific projects. Any specific projects that may be referenced are for illustrative purposes only to help clarify the range of activities that may be initiated and are not intended to represent an inclusive listing. Additionally, programs and projects listed do not limit the CIC from modifying the plan as needed or as opportunities arise. The proposed Implementation Plan for FY09 -10 FY13 -14 ccntains the same programs as the previous Implementation Plan and does not contain any substantive changes in policies or scope. The guiding policy documents for BWIP and WECIP continue to be the Community Improvement Plans, Downtown vision, Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the City's Retail Development Strategy. Agenda Item #2 -A Speci C I C Mtg oC -o2 -1 o Honorable Chair and June 1, 2010 Members of the Community Improvement Commission Page 2 of 2 A public hearing is scheduled during this meeting of the CIC to consider approval of the Implementation Plan. The purpose of the hearing is to provide an opportunity for the general public to discuss the proposed Implementation Plan in accordance with the California Health and Safety Code. The CIC should then hear any statements or testimony from those present. Following the period of public comment, the Chair should entertain a motion to close the hearing. At this point, the CIC should consider the adoption of the resolution approving the Five -Year Implementation Plan for BWIP and VVEC I P FINANCIAL IMPACT Implementation plans do not imply a financial commitment to specific projects. Details on specific activities are reviewed annually at the time the CIC budget is adopted. MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE The update of the Implementation Plan for the BWIP and VVECIP is consistent with the adopted plans and with Community Redevelopment Lave ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AB 1290 states that adoption of an implementation plan does not constitute a project as defined in Section 21000 of the California Public Resources Code. Under SB 732, adoption of an Implementation plan does not constitute the approval of any specific program, project, or expenditure. Thus, each specific project, program or expenditure in an implementation plan will be subject to the standard California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review otherwise required at the time of its approval. 099 SAINT411 0-036YIN Hold a Public Hearing and adopt Resolution approving and adopting the Five -Year Implementation Plan for the Business and Waterfront and west End Community Improvement Projects for FY00 -10 FY13 -14.
