STAFF REPORT
HEARING - RESOLUTION OF PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION
OF REAL PROPERTY: 796 WEST 5TH STREET, SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2005, the Community Development Commission ("Commission") approved the
Central City North Downtown Mixed Use Project Concept Plan ("Plan") and the Redevelopment
Project Study and Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement ("Agreement") with Watson & Associates
Development Co., Inc. C'Developer"). Through the Plan, the Agency will acquire certain properties in
an effort to encourage and effectuate the redevelopment of certain real property ("Study Area")
bounded by, 5th Street to the north, "G" Street on the east, "H" Street on the west, and 4th Street on the
south, including the north side of 5th Street between "H" Street and "G" Street, the four (4) parcels at
the northeast comer of 5th Street and "G" Street, and the six (6) parcels at the southeast comer of 5th
and "G" Street but excluding the new TELACU II Monte Vista Senior Housing Complex (Exhibit
"A").
The intent of the Plan is to eliminate blighted conditions, encourage economic development by
creating owner-occupied mixed use and mixed income housing (i.e., commercial on the ground floor,
residential on the upper floors) for those properties with frontage on 4th Street and 5th Street, with
townhouses located immediately south of the mixed use development on the south side of 5th Street
and on the west side of "G" Street. The Plan will also include complimentary parking and amenities,
which will include high quality architectural and urban design. Moreover, the objective of the Plan is
to act as a catalyst in the revitalizing of the downtown area and to encourage people to live and work in
downtown.
Within the Study Area, the Commission has previously authorized Agency staff to make offers to
purchase certain properties within the Study Area, and to date the Agency has acquired 6 parcels (from
3 different property owners) and 24 parcels remain to be acquired.
On May 19,2005 and January 31,2006 the Agency sent purchase offers ("Offer") to William R. Bland
("Property Owner") to purchase the property located at 796 West 5th Street, San Bernardino, California
(APN: 0134-054-25) ("Property"). The Agency obtained an updated appraisal of the Property and
transmitted another Offer and Summary of Valuation in conformity with Government Code ~
7267 .2(b) to the owner of record on May 4, 2006 at his address on file with the office of the County
Tax Assessor as shown on the last equalized county assessment roll, and the owner of record, William
R. Bland, received the updated Offer but did not respond to the updated Agency Offer. In each Offer,
the Property Owner was requested to convey free and clear title and additionally, free and clear of all
leasehold interests in the Property by any tenants and any other parties, if applicable. The Property
Owner has not responded nor accepted the Agency's Offers.
The Property is improved with a gas service station that has been vacant for at least eight (8) years.
The structure is dilapidated, in disrepair and is another example of blight within the Study Area and an
impediment to the economic rebirth of the Study Area.

On June 5, 2006, the Commission adopted a Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity concerning
the acquisition of the Property. The vote was 4 Ayes, 1 Nay with 2 Commission Members absent.
CURRENT ISSUES:
Though a majority of the Commission Members present at the June 5, 2006 Commission meeting
voted to adopt the Resolution, the Code of Civil Procedures Section 1245.240 provides that "Unless a
greater vote is required by statue, charter, or ordinance, the Resolution shall be adopted by a vote of
two thirds of all the members of the governing body of the public entity". Therefore, this item is being
brought back for the Commission to reconsider adoption of a Resolution of Public Interest and
Necessity to acquire the Property.
Consequently. in conformance with the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, on June 21, 2006, a
notice of the July 10,2006 hearing on adopting a Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity was sent
by certified mail to the Property Owner whose name and address appears on the last equalized county
assessment roll. in order to afford such Property Owner a reasonable opportunity to be heard by the
Commission. Notice of the Hearing was also posted on the Property and mailed to all known tenants.
The Hearing by the Commission and the adoption of the Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity
are legal preconditions to the exercise of the Commission's power of eminent domain. Moreover,
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.230 requires that the Commission make the following findings
and that each be included in the Resolution of Necessity:
1. The public interest and necessitv requires the acquisition of the Property: The Agency has
an agreement for a Plan that includes this Property. During the past year. the Agency has
acquired six (6) parcels of land within the vicinity of the Property. The Agency finds it
appropriate to continue the program of land assembly and to acquire this additional Property to
provide sufficient contiguous land for the Plan and the contemplated Project.
2. The Proiect is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the
l!reatest public l!ood and the least private iniurv: The Agency has increased its efforts to
address conditions of blight in this sector of the Central City North Redevelopment Project
Area (the "Project Area") to foster a commercially viable and economically sustainable plan of
redevelopment and reuse of the properties within the Project Area and to prevent the spread of
blight in the Project Area into other surrounding neighborhoods. The assembly and
redevelopment of the Property is necessary as the Project Area displays a number of conditions
of blight including the presence of old structures that show signs of dilapidation and
deterioration, high crime rate. high volume of code compliance cases. absentee owners and
tenants in possession. and inadequate lot size. Redevelopment of the Property will eliminate
blight and provide needed residential and retail development in the Project Area and assist with
elimination of blight in other areas in proximity to the Project.
3. The subiect Property is necessarY for the Proiect: The Agency previously acquired six (6)
parcels of real property in the vicinity of the Property and desires to acquire this additional
Property to provide sufficient contiguous land for the Project. The Project is planned or located
in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private

injury in light of the fact that the real property included in the Project Area displays a number
of symptoms of blight. The Project shall also facilitate land assembly and reuse of a developed
urban area that has stagnated in recent years under the burdens of small lot size, diverse
ownership, abandoned properties, absentee owners, high crime (91 Part I Crimes for the period
of January II-April II, 2006; 436 Part I Crimes for 2005 and 426 for 2004) and code
compliance cases. The Project will also confer substantial environmental benefits upon the
Project Area and the community generally, in accordance with the General Plan of the City of
San Bernardino.
4. The Government Code IS 7267.2(a) otTers bave been made to tbe record PropertY Owner:
On May 19, 2005, January 31, 2006 and May 4,2006 the Agency submitted formal acquisition
otTers to the Property Owner of the subject Property. The otTers comply with Government
Code S 7267.2. The Property Ov.mer has not responded to these otTers.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
On or about September 7, 2004, the Community Development Commission considered and certified
Environmental Impact Report SCH#2003031072 (the "EIR") in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for the Project Area which addresses reinstating the Agency's
power of condemnation and the acquisition of Property contemplated within the Plan and for the
Project is consistent with the EIR for the Project Area.
On November 7, 2005, the Community Development Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and authorized Staff to file a Notice of Determination ("NOD") with the County Clerk for
the Project pursuant to the approved Agreement. On November 10, 2005, said NOD was filed with the
County Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the appraisal, the appraised value of the subject Property is $240,000 plus court costs and
legal expenses normally associated with condemnation proceedings for an approximate total of
$336,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Development Commission adopt the attached Resolution.

The public interest, converuence and necessity require the acquisition of the
(a)
2
Property for the Project, as necessary to alleviate conditions of blight in the Project Area, which
are documented and described in more detail in the 2004 EIR and CEQA Initial Study dated
October II, 2005, which Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved on
November 7, 2005, and to provide for the orderly redevelopment of the Property and other real
property included in the Project Area. The assembly and redevelopment of the Property is
necessary as the Project Area displays a number of conditions of blight, including without

limitation prevalence of absentee owners, high volume of code compliance cases, crime
9
statistics substantially higher than the City rate, the presence of old structures that show signs of
dilapidation and deterioration and small or substandard lot sizes within the Project Area,
including the subject Property, and a diverse pattern of land ownership which prevent or
substantially hinder the economically viable use of such real property in its present condition.

14
For the period of January II through April II, 2006, the number of Part I Crimes within the
area of the Plan and Project were 91. For the period 2005, there were 436 Part I Crimes. For
the period 2004, there were 426 Part I Crimes. For the period of January II through April II,
2006, this equates to 312.69 Part I Crimes per 1,000 people. Part I Crimes include murder,
rape, assault, robbery, burglary, grand theft auto and other theft. Crimes such as drug
use/possession/sale, panhandling, prostitution, etc., are not included in the figures. Acquisition
and assembly of the Property for community redevelopment purposes, the Plan and the Project,
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
together with other lands already owned by the Agency in the Project Area, will foster the
elimination of blight and assist with the redevelopment of the Project Area, and assist with
elimination of blight in other lands in proximity to the Project Area. The Plan and the Project
include without limitation mixed income and mixed commercial and residential uses.
22

25
(b)
The Plan and the Project are planned or located in the manner that will be most
26 compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury in light of the fact that the
27 real property included in the Project Area displays a number of symptoms of blight. The Plan
28 and Project shall also facilitate the completion of a land assembly program previously initiated

by the Agency and foster the reuse of a developed urban area that has stagnated in recent years
under the burdens of economic obsolescence, small lot size, diverse ownership, absentee

3
owners, tenant occupancy, high crime and code compliance cases, property tax liens and
inadequate public improvements.
4
5
(c)
The Property described in this Resolution is necessary for the Plan and the
6
Project, as its acquisition and reuse for the Plan and the Project is part of a neighborhood plan to
eliminate blight and provide for the redevelopment and inlprovement of the other lands owned
by the Agency within the Project Area.
(d) The purchase offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been
mailed to the owner of record of the Property by the Agency, and the Agency has not been
successful in acquiring the Property based upon the conditions contained within the offer. The
Commission deems it appropriate and necessary to approve the Agency acquisition of the
Property for assembly for the Plan and the Project.
