Tusttn Heights Shopping Center Entrance Modification

On April 11, 1983, the Planning Commission directed staff to
prepare a report to the Redevelopment Agency requesting that
$18,400.00 be allocated in the current fiscal year budget to
reconstruct the public improvements, in the Tustin Heights
Shopping Center entrance modification.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
A use permit had previously been approved by the Planning Agency which
authorized the revitalization of the Tustin Heights Shopping Center. At
that time, the parking lot plan was not considered because staff's concern
regarding the modification of the shopping center entrance had not been
addressed.
On April 11, 1983, the parking lot plan was approved by the Commission and
part of that approval was the entrance modification. The City Engineer/
Public Works Director has reviewed this modification and found it to be
compatible with the staff concept of improving the entrance/intersection to
the shopping center.
Mr. Ledendecker further reported that this modification will provide a
clearcut signalized intersection of the shopping center entrance in lieu of
the existing skewed intersection. Cost of public improvements which
include drive apron, sidewalk and relocation of traffic signal is estimated
to be $18,400.00. The cost of the on-site improvements is unknown but will
be borne entirely by the owner. This improvement is within the Town Center
project area of the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, therefore
redevelopment funds can be utilized in a cooperative effort in obtaining
these improvements. Chairman Sharp had previously expressed his concern
about this intersection and requested that staff research the possibility
of using redevelopment funds to help defray the cost of reconstructing the
intersection.
RECO~NDED AX~TION
Allocate $18,400.00 in the current fiscal year budget to reconstruct the
public improvements for the Tustin Heights Shopping Center entrance
modification.
