CITY OF SAN BERQRDINO - REQUEST ~ COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT There are many parcels throughout the City without full street improvements. These "missing links" detract from the appearance of those other parcels within the block that have full improvements, such as paving, curbs and gutters, and sidewalk. Other problems with drainage and maintenance are created by these gaps. Also, it is felt that these missing improvements can promote the spread of blight. Chapter 27 of the Streets and Highways Code provides a process for having missing sections of street improvements installed. Under the provisions of this chapter, a City can order any property owner to install street improvements, whenever at least 50% of the block is improved. If the property owner fails to install the missing street improve- ments within 90 days, the City can order the work done. All. costs for installing the improvements are billed to the property owner. It is recommended that authorization be granted to proceed with the identification of parcels without full street improvements, where at least 50% of the block is fully improved. Also, to submit these parcels to the Mayor and Council for issuance of an order to install the improvements. These parcels will be submitted in an orderly and systematic manner, that will not overwhelm the Council Agenda. 7-20-89 75.0264
