(COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION) Recommended Motion: --~ Authorize advertising for bids on the demolition of the improvements located at 101 North "I" Street. '- Supporting data attached: Yes Ward: 3rd FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: $500 Project: UT Date: MARCH 20, 1989 Commission Notes: '- SHD:CU:sm:4899G Agenda Item No. s Redevelopment Agency .....,oJ" STAPP REPORT '-" The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of staff efforts at planning a potential Agency-initiated project for the whole-block from 1-215 to "I" Street, north of Rialto Avenue and south of Second Street. This includes the "Mental Health" building at 101 North "I" Street. To facilitate the amount of time required to respond to any development proposal that may be recommended based upon the current economic studies of the 101 North "I" Street site, staff recommends that the Agency advertise for demolition bids. A recommendation for a demolition contractor would then be available at the same time that a development proposal is available for consideration. If the decision at that time were to proceed, there would be no additional delays caused by the bidding process. BACKGROUND The property at 101 North "I" Street consists of two parcels, a 12,648 square foot parking lot and a 36,061 square foot parcel improved with a structure containing 10,000 square feet on the main floor and 3,000 square feet in the basement. r '- In January 1985, the Redevelopment Agency purchased this property to facilitate the relocation of the Mental Health Association of San Bernardino County who were then located on property which was to be developed for low-cost housing. The building is now vacant and is listed for sale at a cash price of *455,000 (the current appraised value). As it appears unlikely that such an offer will be received, staff is also exploring the possibility of securing a master developer to master plan the entire block. An economic reuse analysis is being done by Keyser Marston on the block between Rialto and 2nd Streets, east of "I" Street, and west of 1-215. It is anticipated that the study will be presented to the Redevelopment Committee for review and recommendation on April 17, 1989. At that time, it would also be possible to present a proposal for the demolition of the site as the first step in the development of the property. It is recommended that the Agency advertise for bids on the demolition at thia time so that a review of the proposals can take place and a recommendation brought forward at the same time the economic study is available for review. The exclusive listing agreement with P.E. Schnetz & Co., Inc. expires on March 20, 1989. The expiration of the listing will occur at about the same time the economic study is available for staff review. RECOMMENDATION The Redevelopment Committee recommended that the Commission consider this item on March 20, 1989. It is, therefore, recommended that the Commission authorize advertising for bids on the demolition of the improvements at 101 North "I" Street to allow a recommendation to be developed for subsequent .- Commission review. .
