STAFF REPORT
Urban Garden - 1I0rthwest Corner of Fifth ....d "En Streets
The Department has received from Greenstreets L.A., and opinion of
probable construction costs totalling $202,464 in connection with the
installation of an urban garden at the northwest comer of Fifth and "E"
Streets. The estimate conducted by Greenstreets L.A., was requested by
the Economic Development Agency Administrator at the request of the
Mayor's office.
Previously, the Department had entered into an Exclusive Right to
Negotiate (ERN) agreement with Elderly Development Corporation for the
purpose of developing approximately one-hundred, fifty (150) to
two-hundred (200) units of housing for seniors and for frail and elderly
seniors. At a recent meeting involving the Mayor, the Executive
Director, the Acting Housing Manager and the developer regarding the
status of the senior housing project, the subject site and several
alternatives were discussed. At the conclusion of the meeting, it was
agreed that the developer would identify other, more viable sites within
the Central Business District, preferrably a site that assisted in the
elimination of blight. The developer was also assured of continued City
support.
As a result of the availability of the subject site, it has been
determined that, in conjunction with the City'S landscaping and
beautification programs, the development of this site as an urban garden
would contribute significantly to the habitability and attractiveness of
the City's downtown core. The garden would not have benches and would be
designed in such a fashion as to deter vagrancy and other unwanted
activities.
At the October 16, 1991 Redevelopment Committee meeting, the Committee
discussed this matter and forwarded same to the Community Development
Commission without a recommendation.
Based upon the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
