Commissioner Greenbaum suggested that the downtown, commercial core
area be eliminated from the redevelopment plan, and emphasize the
residential area surrounding downtown.
Mr. Buccella stated that redevelopment should create an opportunity
for private investors to develop the area. He further stated that
a number of high rise and a number of residential units be established
that would be allowed in the area and that developers could also
contribute to public works efforts needed in the commercial part of
the area.
It was the consensus of the Planning
Commission to continue the meeting to
the redevelopment issues.
