Section I: Introduction (continued) CUDAHY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL, IMPACT REPORT David Evans and Associates, Inc. is currently preparing an environmental impact report for amendments to the Cudahy Redevelopment Plan. The City of Cudahy is located west of the Los Angeles River and the Long Beach Freeway and approximately 8 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The Cudahy Redevelopment Plan was established in July 1977 and covers approximately 330 acres of the City. The project consists of a Second and a Third Amendment to the Cudahy Redevelopment Plan. The proposed Second Amendment will increase the time limitation for incurring debt; lengthen the term of the Redevelopment Plan; allow eminent domain powers to continue; limit the density of development in the project area to that specified in the land use plan and zoning map; and require existing and proposed land uses to comply with provisions of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. These actions will not result in direct physical development, but will allow the Agency to continue redevelopment efforts in the City. The Third Amendment will extend the project area boundaries to include 7 additional lots along Live Oak Street. The additional area covers approximately 95,550 square feet and is developed with single family detached units and a multi -family residential building. The area is zoned Medium -Multiple Residential (R-3) and may change to the Commercial - Manufacturing (C-M) Zone. This amendment will result in the development of a commercial structure on the site. Upon completion, the EIR will serve. as a public information document which will provide an analysis of the physical and environmental . impacts that may occur with the implementation of the proposed project area boundary change and a discussion of the indirect impacts of the increase in the time limitation to incur debt, lengthen the duration of the plan, and allow eminent domain powers to continue. The EIR for the Cudahy Redevelopment Plan Amendments is a program EIR. The program EIR provides for a more general view of the impacts associated with all the individual projects and discusses impacts which may be individually insignificant but cumulative adverse. As a program EIR, it allows the development of area -wide mitigation measures to address the collective impacts of the redevelopment plan. Marc Blodgett and Josephine Tan Aiido are working on the EIR. The NOP has been circulated and the EIR is currently under preparation. The project has a $21,000 budget. To date, the work program is on schedule and within budget. Contact: William Davis, Planning Director 5220 Santa Ana Street Cudahy, CA 90201 (213) 773-5143 City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan EIR 1-7
