This year’s Long Beach Martin
Luther King Jr. Peace and Unity
Parade and Celebration will em-
phasize the diversity and hard
work of the community it’s host-
ed in, offi cials say.
The theme will be Peace! Pas-
sion! Purpose! The idea was taken
from King’s teachings that “every-
one can be great … because any-
body can serve. You don’t have
to have a college degree to serve.
You don’t have to make your sub-
ject and verb agree to serve. You
only need a heart full of grace. A
soul generated by love.”
Sixth District Councilman Dee
Andrews, whose offi ce helps run
the parade, said he wanted to em-
phasize a more over-arching mes-
sage this year.
“Having one of the most di-
verse districts in the city of Long
Beach, we want to try and touch
everyone who we’ve thought has
done something in their commu-
nity,” he said. “Dr. King wasn’t
just about black, he was a human-
itarian.”
The grand marshals for the pa-
rade will be the “sages” of the city
— community leaders who have
given back during the last year:
Jose Flores, Tom Flores, Angel
Macias, Martha Cota, Raymond
Chavarria, Mr. L.E. Lewis, Sam
Portillo, Dr. Stu Farber, Colleen
McDonald, Iosefo Joe Patolo and
Richer San. The Drum Major for
Peace will be Naomi Rainey.
There will be 10 marching
bands, 40 classic cars and various
community groups and leaders
participating in this year’s pa-
rade — a culmination of an entire
week of events.
“This is going to be like we
always do — trying to make it
bigger and better than the year
before,” Andrews said. “We want
to make this peace year — we’re
not just stopping for one week.”
Once the parade ends and the
event settles down, there will be
a festival-type celebration at King
Park, 1950 Lemon Ave. It will in-
clude a musical tribute to Michael
Jackson, performed by mostly
local talent. There will be dance
performances, an area for chil-
dren and teens to play among free
carnival rides, giveaways, food,
merchandise vending booths and

SIGNS OF PROGRESS
By Jonathan Van Dyke
STAFF WRITER
After about four hours of comment and
deliberation Tuesday, the City Council
passed the Downtown Plan, which will
set the tone for development in the area
for the next quarter century.
The Downtown Plan is a planning
and development tool for a large swath
of downtown Long Beach. Staff rec-
ommended approval of the document,
the Planning Commission approved it
unanimously and the Downtown Long
Beach Associates supported it, along with
downtown neighborhood associations.
The newly ratifi ed Downtown Plan ex-
pands the area’s scope from 467 acres to
725 acres, upgrades comprehensive de-
sign standards for new development and
various building types, includes a simpli-
fi ed land use table and changes specifi c
design standards for items like building
heights and parking lots.
Planning Administrator Derek Burn-
ham said the Downtown Plan would pro-
vide the steps to create a bold and contem-
porary-but-timeless new skyline for Long
Beach. The Downtown Plan streamlines
development processes, in some cases,
by almost a year — but that streamlining
eliminates some environmental impact re-
port requirements.

that seeks to guide public and private de-
velopment in the coming years and build

Despite the economic recession and the
loss of the state’s redevelopment agencies,
Long Beach is staying open for economic
development.
“Long Beach is a refl ection of what
is happening in the country, and we (the
city) are trying to help as much as we
can,” said Reggie Harrison, deputy city
manager and former economic develop-
ment bureau manager. “The weaknesses
we (Long Beach) have are the same as the
country — there’s a lack of confi dence in
the economy and people are wary.”
Nonetheless, Harrison stays positive
when it comes to economic development
in Long Beach, pointing out the cranes
above Long Beach new courthouse as
well as construction at Long Beach Air-
port as indicators of improvement. Also,
he added that the city attracted some light
industry tenants to Douglas Park in 2011
as well as some large companies, such as
Ignify, which moved its headquarters to
downtown Long Beach.
Another high note, he said, is that Long
Beach Development Services this month
released the Corridor Investment Projects
publication, which details many of the
public investments made along the city’s
commercial corridors. The projects total
more than $1 billion in the past 15 years.
Corridor investments included upgrad-
ed public infrastructure and street im-

Sometimes, a brisk walk
around the neighborhood can do
a lot of good — not only for per-
sonal health, but also for bringing
a community together.
The Bixby Knolls Strollers —
a group of walking enthusiasts
— will be celebrating their fourth
anniversary of strolling together
on Saturday.
Each Saturday, a group of 25
to 60 people meets at 7:30 a.m.
at It’s A Grind at 4245 Atlantic
Ave. before embarking on their
3.8-mile walk around the differ-
ent neighborhoods surrounding
Bixby Knolls.
Each week, the strollers receive
a new route to give each Saturday
morning variety and a good mix
of scenery during the walk.
“I am truly thankful for the con-
sistent turn out each weekend.”
said Blair Cohn, executive direc-
tor of the Bixby Knolls Business
Improvement Association. “The
group has grown stronger and our
regulars come together each week
rain or shine.”
The members have spent a lot
of time visiting the businesses
and attractions in Bixby Knolls,
including California Heights, Los
Cerritos and Virginia Country
Club.
The strollers also have stopped
by Forest Lawn Cemetery, Ran-
cho Los Cerritos, Boy Scout
project locations, private homes
and backyards, and nearby busi-
nesses, such as FreeSpirit Yoga,
Roy Robbins Gifts & Stationery,
Bella Cosa, Elise’s Tea Room and
Alsace Lorraine Bakery.
Marc Rothenberg, who doesn’t
live in Bixby Knolls but runs his
law offi ce in the area, decided he
wanted to join the strollers three
years ago to get to know the
neighborhood, other businesses
and residents better.
“My offi ce is in Bixby Knolls,
so I saw in the papers when it was

City Council will begin the
state-mandated process of dis-
mantling the city’s Redevelop-
ment Agency next Tuesday by
appointing itself as the successor
agency.
Under the original law passed
last June — and upheld Dec. 29
by the state Supreme Court —
Redevelopment Agency boards
and areas cease to exist on Feb. 1.
The successor agency is charged
with completion of already
signed contracts and payment of
outstanding bonds.
The successor agency is in turn
governed by an oversight board
that is supposed to be in place
by May 1. That seven-member
board will be made up of repre-
sentatives from the county, the
community college district, the
school district and others, with
the sole function of approving or
denying proposed actions by the
successor agency.
All the bureaucratic ins and
outs have real consequences for
development in the city, Long
Beach offi cials said.
Early this year, when Gov. Jer-
ry Brown fi rst suggested ending
redevelopment areas as a way to
put more money in state coffers,
the Long Beach RDA attempted
to transfer ownership of more
than 200 parcels of land to the
city to protect them from sale.
Projects on that land include a
half-completed fi re station, a new
library in north Long Beach, pro-
posed parks, affordable housing
projects and commercial devel-
opments.
According to the state law, the
Oversight Board is required to
dispose of RDA property and as-
sets as expeditiously as possible,
and for the highest possible price.
That direction is what makes the
land ownership question so im-
portant.
The fate of those projects is
still up in the air, waiting for legal
clarifi cation. While the original
legislation allowed for comple-
tion of projects already under
contract, it is unclear whether is-
suing bonds (such as those sold
for the North Long Beach Li-
brary) without a signed construc-
tion contract is enough to allow
a project to move forward, for
example.
City Manager Pat West has
said that the very ownership of
the property is being questioned.
Tom Modica, the city’s govern-
ment affairs manager, said it is
too early to talk about any indi-
vidual properties, but it is clear
redevelopment in general likely
is no more. Mayor Bob Foster
emphasized that in his State of
the City speech Monday.
“It was arguably the last re-
maining tool for economic de-
velopment in California and it
is hard to deny that it has been
transformational in Long Beach,”
Foster said about redevelopment.
“But the reality is that those days
are probably now gone.
“We will work hard to save re-
development legislatively, but in

Already famous locally, Long Beach’s Club Rip-
ples is about to make its national television debut
this month when it is featured on Bravo’s “Tabatha
Takes Over.”
Club Ripples, an institution on Ocean Boulevard
where it fi rst opened 40 years ago, is a gay and les-
bian nightclub that is open daily with regular drink
specials and live entertainment. It was one of the
fi rst gay dance clubs in the city, and business was
booming — until recent years.
The decline in Club Ripples’ popularity is why
the club owners and long-time partners John Garcia
and Larry Hebert decided to sign up for “Tabatha
Takes Over.” The show revolves around television
personality Tabatha Coffey, better known as simply
Tabatha, a rough-around-the-edges business owner
and Australian native who visits struggling busi-
nesses — from hair salons to dog hotels — and tem-
porarily “takes over” the failing establishments in
an effort to turn business around.
Although the episode doesn’t air until 10 p.m. on
Tuesday, Jan. 17, Tabatha was in Long Beach, seiz-
ing control of Ripples, back in September. Hebert,
59, said bringing Tabatha into the business was a
no-brainer because he and Garcia, 66, knew they
needed help to improve the business’s reputation
in the community, entice new customers to visit the
club and “get the motion back on Ocean.”
“That was our motto in the 1980s: Ripples puts
the motion on Ocean,” Hebert said. “In the good
ol’ days, we were packed Monday through Sunday
and we had lines from the front door… Recently
we were lucky if we got 50 people to come in on a
Sunday night.”
The owners said business in recent years has been
harder and harder, and the two were considering
selling their home and refi nancing in order to keep

It’s the economy.
At least that’s what most of
Mayor Bob Foster’s State of the
City speech Monday night was
all about. Foster started by con-
trasting what he called Long
Beach’s success in protecting the
city’s economic future with the
state’s concentration on immedi-
ate budget woes, and ended by
reiterating the same comparison.
In between, there was talk about
economic development, pension
reform and realignment of city
services to be both more cost-ef-
fective and helpful to businesses.
About 800 people fi lled the
Center Theater downtown for
the free, but ticketed, event. It
also was broadcast live on Long
Beach TV and will be available
on the city’s website.
Foster launched immediately
into the future — or lack thereof
— of the city’s Redevelopment
Agency in light of last week’s
state Supreme Court ruling up-
holding state action eliminating
redevelopment areas in cities.
“Redevelopment built a larger
future tax base from parcels of
land better known as drug hous-
es and run-down liquor stores;
stealing precious public safety
resources.” Foster said. “It was
arguably the last remaining tool
for economic development in
California, and it is hard to deny
that it has been transformational
in Long Beach.
“But the reality is that those
days are probably now gone. We
will work hard to save redevelop-
ment legislatively, but in truth, the
outlook is grim. So, we are forg-
ing ahead on the work of building
up this city without redevelop-
ment in our toolbox.”
Foster thanked members of the
Redevelopment Agency board,
the Housing Development Cor-
poration and the Community De-
velopment Advisory Board for
their service, and said there likely
would be a new advisory board
consolidating their functions (see
related story, right).
In one of the most pointed
comments of the evening, Foster
took the International Machin-
ists Union, which represents
most city employees, to task for
not agreeing to reform pensions.
He fi rst thanked the police and
fi re unions, which both agreed
during last fall’s budget talks to
take responsibility for all of the
employee share of pension pay-
ments (offset by salary increases)
and a new, lower tier of benefi ts
for new hires.

Second+PCH is alive — may-
be. On Dec. 20, the City Council
turned back plans to redevelop the
SeaPort Marina Hotel on a split
5-3 vote. But Tuesday, developer
David Malmuth appeared before
the City Council and said that
he and property owners Ray and
Amy Lin (Taki Sun Inc.) wanted
the council to revisit its decision.
Malmuth received support
from Third District Councilman
Gary DeLong (the property is in
the Third District) and First Dis-
trict Councilman Robert Garcia
— two of the three yes votes on
Dec. 20.
Malmuth said that he and his
partners felt the council’s deci-
sion was to go a different direc-
tion — to update the SEADIP
master planning document —
rather than judging the merits of
the mixed-use development. He
said Wednesday that he would
be looking for compromises that
would satisfy the council.

have reached out to us since the
decision,” Malmuth said. “We
