Redondo Beach, CA, has what the city's chief planner considers aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remake the coastal suburb.

Planners havedrawn up the "Heart of the City" plan that intends to put the beach back inthe beach town. As early as February, the Redondo Beach City Council could adopt a specific plan for about 150 acres of waterfront real estate that planners believe could become a new downtown. The "Heart of the City" specific plan envisions a broad mix of stores, offices, apartments, townhouses, live-work flats and parks in a part of town that has been dominated by a huge power plant and cut off from the ocean.
