It is the American Heart Association's annual "Cardiac Arrest," one of the chief fund-raisers for the or-ganization. I met with a group of South Bay division association members one morning this week in a planning session at Carrow's Restaurant Pan Paulson from the North also help out the friends organization. Proceeds from the book sales benefit various 1 library-related projects. The money purchases children's books and some best sellers that the regular county fund cannot buy.

In addition, the proceeds fund various reading programs, which involve children from toddlers to elementary school age. Incidentally, one of the drop boxes in front of the library wa3 also purchased by the friends group. Donors are asked to drop off their books at the library.

The Citrons have put a down payment on the escrow to purchase half the project site this week. This will, allow the Citrons to proceed and obtain bids for a contractor to construct its $9 million project. In the first phase, the Citrons will purchase half of the project site for $275,000 and build a six-unit cluster of business homes. Phase II will build out the remaining 12 units for that parcel of land. If it is successful, the Citrons will purchase the remaining half of the property and.

build 18 units at once in Phase III. "It's ready to go. It's just a matter of (the Citrons) purchasing the land, demolishing the (existing) buildings and starting construction," said Chris Salo-mone, Chula Vista community development director. It has been 26 long difficult months for both city planners working on the project and the Citrons, according to Salomone. He said planners have had to overcome hurdles in zoning regulations for the development.

Other issues including parking, maintenance, title transferring and signage have arisen. The single most prominent problem has been explaining the project to financial lender institutions, which, like city plan- ners, were unfamiliar witft the mixed use zoning. Salomone said it has been a pioneering effort for which city staff has had to create unique solutions.

"We hope the city will move a little faster now that the money is in escrow," Lenore Citron said. "This will be the first project of its kind in the (San Diego) market.

New things take longer." Overall, Salomone said, the city is looking forward to the project. The greatest benefit to the city will be in the upgrading of the area on Broadway. It also has social values to the city in that it will serve as a model for other development projects, if this is successful. Already, before anything has been built, the Citrons said they have had numerous inquiries and have a waiting list from prospective buyers. Meanwhile, an exclusive negotiation development contract has nearly been finalized between the city and the Citrons' Joelen Enterprises company for the Bonita Grand golf resort hotel.

This issue has been tabled twice by City Council and will be up for consideration at the Tuesday, April 23, meeting. The delay allowed time lines -to be added to ensure marked progress for the project, according to Salomone.
