Issue
ISSUE

Completed in June 2015, the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor Joint Development (JD) Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) identified publicly-owned properties along the under-construction light rail corridor and identified development opportunities on Metro and County owned properties, including properties at the Expo/Crenshaw and Fairview Heights Stations as depicted in Attachment A. Per direction from the Metro Board, the JD team is working with the County of Los Angeles through an MOU with the Community Development Commission (CDC) to administer the JD process for the two County-owned JD opportunity sites. In accordance with the JD Policy, staff has conducted community outreach to support the creation of Development Guidelines (Guidelines) for the Expo/Crenshaw and Fairview Heights opportunity sites. If adopted by the Board, the Guidelines will be included in the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sites. In order to move forward with the JD process for the County-owned sites, Board authorization is also requested for Metro to enter into an agreement with the CDC to implement a services arrangement.
