Proposed Projects
Parking Improvement Project for the North Side of Highland Avenue
Mr. Wagoner reported that the parking improvement project for the north
side of Highland Avenue has been included on the list of potential
projects of the Mayor for the upcoming bond proceeds that are to be
received. Committee members H. Holmes, S. Scheibe and L. Willson are
scheduled to meet with the Mayor in regards to this project later this
month. A report on that meeting will be given at the next CAC meeting.
Mr. Wagoner strongly recommended that the Mayor and the City Council
members continue to receive support for this project from the Committee
so as to emphasize the priority that the Committee feels for this project.
Third Street Corridor
Committee members agreed that aesthetic improvements to the area around
the Third Street freeway exit are desirable. Mr. Wagoner informed the
Committee that Cal Trans at the present time is exploring the alternative
of widening the 1-215 in that area. Much discussion ensued. It was
decided that improvement to that area is probably premature given the
wide range of affects that widening the freeway will have on that area.
Committee members discussed the fact that the City of San Bernardino in
the area surrounding the railroad yards is being considered to house a
centralized commuter rail station.
Mr. Holmes distributed a memorandum dated November 29, 1989 from
Schiermeyer Consulting Services to SANBAG Commuter Rail Committee Re:
San Bernardino Station Area Special Study (filed). Mr. Holmes stated he
would try and find out who the representative will be for the City of San
Bernardino on the task force that has been recently been created to
address this issue.
Uptown Project Area Plan Amendment
The recent adoption of the City's General Plan brought to light the issue
of conflicts in language between the existing redevelopment plans and the
newly adopted General Plan. The Community Development Commission decided
to author an amendment which would create a IIgenericll redevelopment plan
for all the project areas -- a plan which would not be dependent on
changes in the General Plan to be in force.
Mr. Wagoner noted that this amendment for the Uptown Project Area does
not revise the legal description/boundaries. The amendment does state
that the land uses permitted in the project area are identical to the
land uses permitted by the General Plan.
Other Busi ness
Committee members discussed the concern of preservation of historical
sites in the City of San Bernardino. Mr. Wagoner advised Committee
members that the newly adopted General Plan includes a Historic
Preservation Element. Mr. Wagoner stated he would research what steps
have been taken to implement that section of the General Plan.
There being no further business, the meeting of December 14, 1989, was
adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
