Moreover, ULI was asked to provide recommendations and proposals for the City and the County to implement with the goal of redeveloping and reenergizing downtown San Bernardino, including providing a recommendation to the County with regard to where would be the best fit or location for the new County Government Center. ULI began their study and analysis of the CBD during the week of June 24, 2007, and completed a presentation of their overview and recommendations on June 29, 2007. The ULI recommendations include, but are not limited to, the following: . Steps should be taken to clean and maintain the downtown area and enhance the esthetics of the streets with plantings and other amenities; work on developing a safe and positive image for downtown San Bernardino; downtown must be a clean, safe and friendly community. . Development of the San Bernardino County Government Center as a Campus on the existing 35-acre site between Arrowhead Avenue and Sierra Way. . Clear the entire site of the existing Carousel Mall and restore the City's historic street grid through the site and redevelop the site as a contemporary mixed-use urban village in the vicinity of 700 units with supporting retail, office and residential uses. . Celebrate the waters of the City by creating a linear park and stream system that restores existing natural streams that have previously been diverted to underground pipes/culverts. Extend canals and fountains beyond the natural systems in order to provide cool "green pedestrian streets" for residents to walk or bike downtown. . Continue revitalization of the surrounding near-downtown residential neighborhoods with Code Enforcement, in-fill housing and streetscape improvements. . Attract people to the downtown through special events and other regular programming. . Engage San Bernardino citizens in the process of envisioning and developing the future of downtown. n____________d_~_n____________________.u________________~_._~.________________._________._________________._~-.---------------- P:\Agendas\Comm Dev Commission\CDC 2007\08_20.07 UU - CBD Recommendations SR_doc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 08/20/2007 Agenda Item Number: /lSJ Economic Development Agency Staff Report ULI Recommendations and Findings - Downtown Page 2 . Relocate the proposed Arrowhead Credit Union Headquarters closer to downtown, or north of the Arrowhead Stadium. . Locate the inter-modal bus transfer center adjacent to the Santa Fe train depot. . Redevelop the area bounded by 6th and 9th Streets and "G" and "D" Streets to the north of the CBD to create an Education Park. . City and County should partner with private sector business leaders/developers and become known as a "development-friendly" community. . Hire a Chief Development Officer ("Champion") either on Staff or as a Consultant, whose job is to ensure that downtown development projects stay on track and on time. . Adopt and enforce design standards and guidelines to ensure an appealing environment and invest public funds in the revitalization of the CBD. . Designate an arts/entertainment district that embraces the existing theatres, historic buildings on "E" Street and buildings along Court and 4th Streets. ULI emphasized that the City should create a system of lakes, trails and parks that link neighborhoods and beyond; this green system would be linked through the new County campus and extended into areas that are presently used for parking and extended onto "E" Street, where "E" Street can act as the center of activity in the new downtown; the green system should be extended across the freeway and into neighborhoods to the west of the downtown adjacent to the Santa Fe Depot; and lastly, the redevelopment plan for downtown should include a new gateway at the entry point area of 2nd Street off the 1-215 Freeway denoting an impression of a peaceful, secure and beautiful place to live, work and play. Finally, ULI believes that although significant challenges must be overcome before downtown can be revitalized; the challenges are achievable by realignment of resources to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the downtown's locational advantages. Moreover, implementing the recommended strategies will require collaboration between the City, County, State and public and private sectors. It will demand citizen participation from people of different walks and backgrounds and more than anything, it will demand consistent disciplined public policy. In closing, on July 17, 2007, the County Board of Supervisors considered the recommendations of the ULI and directed staff to begin designing their new County Government Center in their current location. The Board also embraced many of the ULI's recommendations as noted in the attached August 1, 2007 letter from Chairman Paul Biane to Mayor Morris. The Board is committed to moving ahead with their plans to add up to 500,000 square feet of new space to accommodate the growth of the many County services consistent with the recommendations of the ULI and to that end, asks that the City make a commitment to a focused and concerted redevelopment plan for downtown. __________________________________________~__________________________________________________<_______________________________________*_________d___________d__.________ P:\Agendas\Comm Dev Corrnnission\CDC 2007\08-20-07 ULI - CBD Recommendations SRdoc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 08/20/2007 Agenda Item Number: Rtti'1 Economic Development Agency Staff Report ULI Recommendations and Findings - Downtown Page 3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None.

'\., t'tt PAULBIANE CHAIRMAN SUPERVISOR SECOND DISTRICT August 1, 2007 Honorable Patrick Morris Mayor, City of San Bernardino 300 North D Street San Bernardino, CA, 92418 Dear Mayor Morris, The Urban Land Institute panel made some bold and important recommendations for revitalizing downtown San Bernardino. The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors discussed those recommendations dUring its July 17, 2007 meeting and directed County staff to begin the process of designing the much-needed expansion of the County Government Center on this campus. The Board's direction included: . The concept of resurrecting Town Creek as a dramatic water feature that could flow through the County property, creating a greenway that would connect to the rest of downtown . Space for commercial and retail development . Structured parking . Environmentally sensitive design . Continued dialogue with the City regarding implementation strategies for the broader ULI vision We believe that a concerted, focused effort on the downtown area, as articulated in the ULI presentation, will result in positive, long-term improvements. The Board of Supervisors is committed to moving ahead with its plans to add 450,000 to 500,000 square feet of new space to accommodate growth in County programs and services in a manner as consistent as possible with the ULI study. We look forward to a similar commitment and focused approach from the City Council so that we can be assured our critical partner in implementing a new vision for downtown is prepared to move ahead with us. Please let me know if we can be of any assistance as you seek the Council's support for this important project. ?~D-'=- Paul Biane Chairman, Board of Supervisors Snn Il,mardino Counly Guvemmenl Cenler . 385 NurthArrowheadAvenn..
