PROJECT LOCATION

The tentatively proposed project area, reflected in Attachment A, encompasses a half (½) mile radius of the proposed light rail transit alignment and station location for the Gold Line Eastside Extension Phase 2 within Pico Rivera, specifically at or adjacent to the intersection of Washington and Rosemead Boulevards, in one of the City's busiest business and commuter areas. The proposed project area stretches primarily along Washington Boulevard and along Rosemead and Paramount Boulevards, and includes an existing Specific Plan that encompasses the Pico Rivera Towne Center, referred to as the Rancho de Bartolo Specific Plan. The boundaries are flexible and the exact area the specific plan will encompass will be left to the consultant to determine during the specific plan process based on what best fit the needs of the City and surrounding development.

PROJECT BUDGET

The City was awarded $390,000 as part of Round 5 of LACMTA's Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant Program. In addition, a local match of $50,000 for project management costs from the City's Economic Development Sustainability Fund and $20,000 in "in-kind" planning / economic development staff time were included for a total project cost of $460,000 to develop and adopt the Specific Plan and any required General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments, the EIR and all related CEQA / NEPA documents.

PROJECT GOALS/SCOPE OF SERVICES

The City desires to prepare and adopt regulatory changes that advance transit-supportive development patterns by creating a new TOD Specific Plan, amending the General Plan and, as appropriate, the Zoning Code and the Rancho de Bartolo Specific Plan, and advancing the relevant Environmental Clearance.

The Washington and Rosemead Boulevards Gold Line Eastside Extension TOD Specific Plan should promote, encourage and support transit riders and the interface between public transportation and surrounding communities through planning efforts, such as urban design and land use planning. Ultimate goals of the proposed TOD Specific Plan will be determined through community and stakeholder input. It is anticipated that community feedback will be obtained through workshops, surveys and/or other community events which are intended to inform and encourage discussion to ensure that the proposed TOD Specific Plan expresses the vision, goals and ideas of the community as a whole.
