6. PUBLIC HEARINGS - 7:30 P.M.   

  A.  PUBLIC HEARING: SELECTION OF LAND USE CONCEPT FOR REUSE
       OF THE DESIDERIO ARMY RESERVE CENTER 
       Recommendation of City Manager:  Staff is submitting only the
       recommendations of the advisory commissions because City staff submitted
       a proposal for consideration; staff is not making a recommendation.
       Recommendation of Planning Commission:  On November 1, 2006, the
       Planning Commission heard presentations from the development teams of
       each of the eleven proposals and took public comment.  On            
       December 6, 2006, the Planning Commission again heard public comment
       and selected four proposals as finalists for further consideration.  Those
       finalists were:
              Habitat for Humanity
              Arroyo Center for Art and the Environment
              Moule & Polyzoides
              City of Pasadena
           The finalists were asked to consider partnering with other proposal
       teams and were invited to submit updated proposals.  On January 24, 2007,
       the Planning Commission heard updated proposals from each of the four
       finalists, took public comment for a third time, and deliberated on a final
       recommendation.  The Commission ultimately considered the proposals in
       the context of two criteria: 1) broad community support as required by the
       Department of Defense and 2) compliance with the West Gateway Specific
       Plan.  The Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Habitat for
       Humanity "Scheme A" that includes nine single-family units, 75% open space,
       inclusion of the Arroyo Center for the Arts and Environment in a new building,
       and a parking grove similar to the grove at the Huntington Library and
       Gardens. 
       Recommendation of Recreation and Parks Commission:  On    
       November 29, 2006, the Recreation and Parks Commission heard
       presentations and reviewed the eleven proposals.  The Commission voted to
       consider the merits of the proposals within the context of three principles: 
       provision of the most park, open or recreational space; greatest benefit to the
       community as a whole; and compatibility with the adjacent neighborhood. 
       Using these principles, the Commission recommended the following four
       proposals to the Planning Commission without priority:
              Habitat for Humanity
              Arroyo Center for Art and the Environment
              Moule & Polyzoides
              City of Pasadena
       Recommendation of Community Development Committee: On 
       November 20, 2006 the Community Development Committee heard eleven
       presentations and evaluated the proposals within the spirit and intent of their
       mission to a) preserve and expand the diversity of housing and economic
       development for a broad mix of persons of different ethnicities and income
       levels; and b) to address the issue of homelessness in Greater Pasadena. 
       The Committee stated a desire to recommend the proposals that provide the
       greatest amount of housing directed to the population(s) with the greatest
       need and voted to recommend to the Planning Commission the following
       projects in priority order:  
       (1) Union Station Foundation
       (2) Century Housing   Housing Proposal
       (3) Lambert Development/IHC Housing Corporation
       (4) Habitat for Humanity
       (5) Moule & Polyzoides
           In addition, the Committee recommended that consideration be given to
       incorporating the Arroyo Center for the Arts and the Environment into a joint
       development arrangement.
       Recommendation of Transportation Advisory Commission: On    
       January 12, 2007, the Transportation Advisory Commission reviewed the
       eleven original proposals and the updated site plans submitted by two of the
       proposals selected as finalists by the Planning Commission.  TAC voted to
       concur with the Planning Commission on the selection of the four finalists and
       further recommended the following:
       (1) Pedestrian and transit access should be considered;
       (2) Parking and mobility impacts should be addressed through
       neighborhood protections for the surrounding areas;
       (3) Access to public uses should be directed from Arroyo Drive; and
       (4) Adequate ingress and egress should include consideration of the bridge,
       the incline of Arroyo Drive, and the road alignments.
