("City Council") approved and adopted a Redevelopment Plan ("Redevelopment Plan") for the
Merged Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"); and

Project Area pursuant to the provisions of the CRL; and
WHEREAS, the Agency wishes to assist the analysis of a potential expansion of the
Shopping Center located within the Project Area at 308-324 South Azusa Avenue (the
"Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Agency intends to finance preliminary planning and administrative
activities outside of the Project Area relating to the potential Project; and
WHEREAS, the properties located at 100± East Azusa Lane and 238 and 242 South
Azusa Avenue (APN 8613-026-005, -006, and -017) comprise the site of possible expansion

and
WHEREAS, the Agency has determined that the establishment and operation of the
Project is a "project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"); and
WHEREAS, the Agency, as the lead agency, determines that the Project is categorically

administrative activities associated with the Project. This action does not approve of the
expansion or modification of the Project site or the Expansion Site.

influence immediately adjacent to the Shopping Center Expansion Project and the Project Area.
The Project will assist in bringing customers to the area, create a more vibrant retail/commercial
environment, and address deteriorating influences within the Project Area.
