DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF TIlE CITY OF SAN BEJllIIARDINO STAFF REPORT Citv LandscaDe and Beautification ProRrams The Commission has previously approved funding for Phases I and II of the 50/50 Landscape Program and set aside $1 million for beautification purposes at its March 7, 1992 Budget Workshop. The 50/50 Landscape Program has proven to be of merit and benefit to the City in terms of participation, visual impact, and a positive development incentive. While the scope of the program is city-wide along major corridors, its jurisdiction needs to be further expanded to become a truly effective tool of the City. Because there are unincorporated islands and unincorporated areas outside the city limits but within the City's sphere of influence, staff is proposing that the landscaping and beautification programs be expanded to include such unincorporated areas along the major east-west and north-south thoroughfares previously approved by the Commission for these programs and the Street Tree Master Plan Program. Should the Commission approve this proposed change to the existing program, the benefits to the City should be significant, especially in light of the County's current inability to adequately finance basic code enforcement and beautification programs. Finally, it should be noted no new funding is necessary to implement the proposed change. At the December 21, 1992 Commission meeting, the matter was continued for thirty (30) days and staff directed to identify potential locations that would be impacted by the proposed program expansion. These locations are as follows: The north side of 40th Street from Third Avenue to Johnson Street. Highland Avenue from Dinair Street to Orchard Road. Baseline Street from Osbun to Val aria Street Baseline Street from Valaria Street to Olive Street. Fifth Street from Tippecanoe to Shirley Avenue. Fifth Street from Victoria to Palm Avenue. Waterman Avenue from Third Street to Fifth Street. Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. KENNETH .
