The Redevelopment Plan for the Lake/
Washington Project was created to enable area residents and business
owners/operators to revitalize commercial and neighborhood projects
and ensure the successful growth and improvement to meet the
changing needs of our time.

The goals of
this redevelopment project area are to prevent the deterioration
of the area through conservation, rehabilitation, renewal
and redevelopment of deteriorated and/or dilapidated
building types, make public improvements and economically
feasible arrangements with owners and business tenants to
revitalize their properties. |

The Plan called for
changes in under-productive land uses through planned and
coordinated developments and the protection and buffering or
screening of commercial uses from residential uses or incompatible
uses whenever feasible; the provision of land for public uses and
facilities, including among others, civic, cultural and social uses,
utilities and open spaces such as streets, parking areas and other
public grounds and space around public or private buildings and
improvements; the creation and expansion of employment opportunities
for those in the Pasadena labor market, including employment in
reconstruction and execution of the Redevelopment Plan.
Included in the Plan
were also the removal of impediments to land disposition and
redevelopment; the achievement of an environment that reflected
concern for architectural and urban design principles and a minimum
of residential dislocation while insuring of a well designed and
economically viable land area for development and provide dislocated
benefits and assistance to eligible displaced residential and
non-residential occupants.
Today, the
Lake/Washington Redevelopment Project Area has secured an ongoing
local investment that sustains a healthy job market, provides
quality amenities for residents in several housing development
projects and has created stable tax revenues for the City due to new
businesses that have moved into the area. The efforts of the
Northwest Programs Office involve regular contact with property
owners, business representatives, local institutions and residents
alike.
