THE ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOUSING ELEMENT.
CLEARLAKE – The future of the city of Clearlake's redevelopment agency will be up for discussion at a special Monday meeting, when the council and the community will weigh in on amending and extending the city's redevelopment plan.
The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
The council will host public hearings to consider four items:
Certifying the draft mitigated negative declaration and initial environmental study the Clearlake Redevelopment Agency prepared for the proposed amendment to the Highland Parks Community Development Project;
Consideration of whether the redevelopment agency has complied with redevelopment law concerning the adoption of a housing element and whether the agency has a major violation;
Adoption of the proposed redevelopment plan amendment;
Consideration of adoption of the five-year implementation plan by the Clearlake Redevelopment Agency.
If the council doesn't vote to extend the redevelopment plan another 10 years, it will end this July 9, according to City Administrator Dale Neiman.
He estimates that redevelopment agency revenues over the coming years will total just over $42.1 million.
Other information Neiman supplied on the amendment shows that city redevelopment revenues from 1995 to 2010 have totaled $720,000.
If the plan is extended, it could facilitate a rehabilitation project along Lakeshore Drive. According to a presentation Neiman intends to offer Monday, that project would include street improvements, development of a storefront facade program and the sale of the Austin Resort property.
At the meeting, the council also will consider amending the city's housing element.
