The objectives of the PAC are set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for the Pasadena Fair Oaks Avenue Redevelopment Project.

• Assist in community organizing in the formulation and implementation of the Redevelopment Plan and programs, which will carry out the revitalization activities identified in the Fair Oaks Orange Grove Redevelopment Project Area.
• Prepare reports and recommendations to City agencies on the Redevelopment Plan.
• Serve as a model for community-involved redevelopment by assuring continuity and strong leadership by the PAC in the design and implementation of the Redevelopment process.
• Serve as the formal means through which the residents of the Fair Oaks Orange Grove Redevelopment Project Area are involved in the planning, development and execution of the Redevelopment Project to the fullest extent, and have clear and direct access to decision making in all stages of the planning process by reviewing and evaluating project activities and making advisory recommendations as necessary and appropriate.
• Consult and advise with City agencies concerning policy matters, which affect owner, residents and businesses in the Project Area, and which deal with the planning, provisions for replacement of residential, commercial or industrial facilities for those displaced by project activities.
• Coordinate and act as liaison between business associations, concerned neighborhood associations and City agencies.
• Provide information on project design and implementation activities to the PAC, as well as to distribute information to residents, businesses and owners in the area.
• Assist in informing the public and businesses of grants, loans, rehabilitation programs and other financial assistance programs.
