STAFF REPORT
Council Meeting Date of: July 7,2003
TO: Mayor and Common Council
FROM: James Funk, Director of Development Services
DATE: July 1, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: Initiation of a General Plan Amendment to change the land use
district for 3008 Broadmoor Blvd., located at the Northeast
corner of 30th Street and Waterman Avenue, from RS
(Residential Suburban) to PP (Public Park) District.
Owner: Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD)
APN: 0153-141-01
Currently at 3008 Broadmoor Boulevard is a vacant 1,385 square foot single family
house originally built in 1951. It is located on a .22 acre parcel (about 9,583 square feet).
This house exists with unsafe driveways within ten feet of the intersection on both 30th
Street and Waterman Avenue. This intersection is controlled by traffic signals. During the
five year period between 1997 and 2001, 41 accidents were reported occurring within the
intersection at 30th Street and Waterman Avenue, with five additional accidents occurring
just east on 30th Street and five more accidents occurring just north on Waterman Avenue.
With its proximity to on and off ramps to State Highway 30 and given that Waterman
Avenue is designated as State Highway 18, both 30th Street and Waterman Avenue are
major arterials with high volumes of traffic at this intersection. Anwar Wagdy, the City
Traffic Engineer, feels that the two existing driveways on 30th Street and Waterman
Avenue pose a traffic hazard.
HUD is the current owner of the property and has listed the property for sale at
$156,204.00. It has been proposed that the EDA purchase the property from HUD with
CDBG funds at current fair market value, demolish the structure and create an open space
area which will be a landscape maintenance buffer area at the site. The estimated cost
of demolition is $10,000.00. Mr. Lemuel Randolph, the Director of Parks, Recreation and
Community Services, supports the development of a landscape maintenance buffer area
at this location. The estimated cost of construction of a landscape maintenance buffer
area is $6,000.00. Mr. Randolph also believes that State Bond funds may be available
to construct the landscape maintenance buffer area and that maintenance can be
provided by the contractor for the Broadmoor Boulevard median.

AGENDA ITEM:
Initiation of a General Plan Amendment to change the land use
district for 3008 Broadmoor Blvd., located at the Northeast
corner of 30th Street and Waterman Avenue, from RS
(Residential Suburban) to PP (Public Park) District.
If the property is re-zoned to PP, the single family house can still continue to exist
as a legal conforming use pursuant to Development Code Section 19.10.030(2) because
the house legally existed prior to June 3, 1991.
If the single family house is demolished after the re-zoning to PP, a single family
house could not be rebuilt on this site. Any subsequent use on this site would be limited
only to public uses consistent with the Public Parks land use district.
