The proposed development of R & B Development Company of a 564-apartment
complex within the Riverfront Redevelopment Project was outlined by Risner,
together with the recommendations, in writing, of the staff's proposals for
amendments to the participation agreement with the developer, Resolution
No. 385 of the Planning Commission approving Precise Plan PP-1-69, as
schematic and preliminary plans and for zoning purposes. In addition,
Risner reviewed the proposed development and the requirements and conditions
of the participation agreement as indicated in a report to the Agency.
Mr. Cline Martin, Assistant Vice President, and Mr. Robert Skinner,
Architect, representing R & B Development Company, answered questions of
Agency members concerning the proposed development as to parking, size of
apartments, covered parking requirements, provisions and rules of their
management concerning the number of occupants in each apartment. Risner
answered questions of agency members relating to financing of the First
Street extension indicating an application had been made to the County for
assistance, the remaining money would be primarily gas tax construction
funds or general funds advanced to the Agency by the City, with subsequent
reimbursement by the Agency to the City. In response to questions con-

cerning a traffic signal at First Street and Pacific Coast Highway, it was
explained by Risner and City Engineer John Stratford that it was needed --
attempts to have the State Division of Highway participate financially
would be made -- and that allowances in estimates of costs included funds
for either total city financing or cooperation with the State. Risner
introduced by title and explained the proposed resolution approving PP-1-69
as schematic, preliminary plan approval and containing conditions of
approval. In response to a question concerning the construction of First
Street being financed by the Agency or City as being against city policy,
Risner and City Engineer Stratford replied that they knew of no such policy,
the City had participated in financing and constructing Lampson Avenue as
a condition of development; that the land being acquired for First Street
does not belong to the developer, and it is a proper and required condition
to achieve proper development, and is in keeping with the General Plan.
Further discussion and questions followed.
