City Council Development/Redevelopment (Ntg. 05/07/97) Project Leads from State Trade and Commerce Agency On April 8, 1997, the Economic Development Committee (Mayor Pro Tem Bernardo Perez and Councilmember Debbie Rodgers Teasley) reviewed the California Trade and Commerce Agency's project leads procedures. The Committee agreed that this item be presented to the City Council for consideration. DISCUS I N To further economic development in the State of California, the California Trade and Commerce Agency (CTCA) sends notices of possible project leads to the counties in California. Most of the leads are accompanied by a list of information that the prospective firm has requested. The information requested can be extensive and require much staff time to prepare (see attached CTCA project lead). The County of Ventura sends these leads to all cities in the County of Ventura, usually by FAX. In most cases the County of Ventura requires a response within one to two days. According to the County, this lead time is required by the State. There are several problems with this system as it now exists: 1. Responding to these leads requires a great deal of staff time. 2. There is little or no time to have the proposed project reviewed by the City Council, the Redevelopment Agency, any committee, or key departments such as Community Development, Administrative Services, or the Police Department especially if the proposal does not fit within currently zoned industrial and /or commercial areas. 3. In the past, staff has not received any direction regarding which projects should be responded to and how much time should be spent on preparation of a submittal. OW227 Staff requested the Committee to consider some parameters for responding to the leads for recommendation to the City Council. It was the Committee's consensus that staff has sufficient knowledge of the City to use discretion regarding appropriate responses to the project lead requests. It was also the consensus of the Committee that in general, responses should be limited to those leads where the sites and proposed use are compatible with zoning and general plan designations. Y!Y_. i The Economic Development Committee and staff recommend that the City Council direct staff not to respond unless the proposed use can be accommodated on a site that currently has the appropriate zoning and is consistent with the allowed uses and standards of the zoning district for the candidate site(s). It is also recommended that staff be further directed to use its discretion in suggesting other sites with the inclusion of appropriate qualification language concerning zoning and land use.
