CITY OF SAN BERaRDINO · REQUEST ~ COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT A request was received from the Central City Company by letter dated May 31, 1988 for an encroachment permit for the main entrance and the exterior facade enhancement. This is in accordance with certain agreements between Central City Company, City of San Bernardino and the Redevelopment Agency (Reference Central City Mall letter dated 10-4-85, subject: -Store Front Encroachment Permit, Central City Mall- (attaCh- ment 11) Central City Company letter dated January 22, 1981, subject: -Encroachment Permit King's Table Restaurant, Central City Mall, (attachment 12) Central City Company letter dated May 31, 1988, subject -Request for Encroachment Permit Main Entrance Area Presentation of Modernization Plan (attachment 13). Modernization plan was presented to the Legislative Review Committee on June 6, 1988. The Central City Company, at the instructions of the City and ROA, entered into an agreement dated March 13, 1986 to diligently proceed to comply with its requirement by prepar- ing a modernization plan of the enclosed mall, reference Resolution No. 86-59, dated February 24, 1986. In cooperation with the City, Central City Company has worked toward developing a partial plan complete with engineering and architectural drawing. This plan calls for an estimated expenditure of Central City Company for approximately $2,250,000. Much more is needed to be done, including the up grading of parking lot lighting. However, due to the large capital cost, it must be phased over a number of years. This plan ties to items in the city capital improvement budget as part of the city's cooperation efforts to this project. The Central City bility of a lead area, with the approximately one Company has agreed to assume the responsi- agency for the refurbishing in the public city contributing limited resources for forth of the cost ($13,500.). Approval of license agreement is normally predicated upon payment of administrative fee of least $500. to cover the cities cost of preparing and processing the necessary legal documents. We have reviewed this request and feel that it will enhance the appearance of the Mall, both outside and inside, without creating a restriction to pedestrian traffic or deliveries. Therefore, we recommend that this request be approved. 75-0264 . . o o Time is very important in this matter and I am hopeful that you will approve this permit at the next council meeting as King's Table is anxious to begin construction. I am sure that as our partner in this project, you will see the value of this proposal in creating excitement in the downtown area, activity in the evening and generating new sales tax. Thank you for your consideration, and if you have any questions, please contact me immediately. Yours truly, ~~~. ~~~ Salvatore F.

We have over the past year, in cooperation with the city, worked towards developing a partial modernization plan, complete with engineered, architectural drawings and oolor boards produced at our cost. The estimated expenditure by Central city Company to implement the plan is $2,250,000. Much more needs to be done, including the upgrading of the parking lot lighting, but due to the large capital cost, must be phased over a number of years as part of an ongoing refurbishment plan. The first step in implementing this modernization effort is the approval of an encroachment permit for the main entrance enhancement and the exterior facade enhancement. This plan ties to items that are before you in this year's capital budget as part of the City's cooperative effort in this project. Please note that a large portion of our expenditures will be made in City/Redevelopment Agency areas as part of our cooperative effort. It has been 16 years since the has occurred in all that time. enhance customer appeal of the sales tax.

Central City Mall Dear Roger: Over the past several years I have had more than one discussion with Wayne Overstreet regarding the possibility of bringing the Mall storefronts out flush with the front of the columns that support the public portion of the Mall. 295 CENTRAL CITY MALL October 4, 1985 ~n "~d~ 'C:_ tl""':"'~ ~.', ~,'--~~,:: ',0 co ..-' tfJ (.",') During the course of our discussions, we determined that there were advantages to this concept to both the City and the merchants in the Mall that warranted ~ further exploration. The concept is as follows: A. Over a period of time as leases renew and remodels occur, we will require that storefronts will be built flush with the front edge of the columns. The storefronts are now built to our property line, which is recessed 28" behind the columns. The signs on the storefronts will need to project 5" into the airspace in front of the columns.. B. Advantages to the City are: 1. A reduction of maintenance in having to clean around all the columns, which is time consuming. The cleaning could be done in a straight line, saving time. Also, there would be an estimated 10,743 sq. ft. less of floor area to clean, when all stores have been phased in, saving both time and materials. 2. Improved security by el iminating "hiding" places behind the columns. 3. The Mall will have a more modern state-of-the-art look as stores are placed into this program. The stores will be closer to customer traffic and visible for a much greater distance down the Mall. This will result in higher,; sal es and increased sales tax revenue, and 1 icense fees and area tax revenue to the City. 4. An eventual, reduction of 10,743 sq. ft. of liability exposure. ___. ~dJ.,J . , .. ; - o o ..i Mr. Roger Hardgrave October 4, 1985 ~ Page 2 C. Advantages to the Mall are: 1. A more modern looking convenient place to shop, resulting in greater customer satisfaction. 2. Better visibility and merchandising area closer to the customer, resulting in improved sales and greater profit to the merchant. I believe this is a win/win situation for all concerned. Central City Company would assume the maintenance responsibility and the liability within the encroach- ment area and pass those on to each individual store through their lease. I would like to start the process necessary to acquire a blanket encroachment permit for all stores that abut the public areas of the Mall. We will acquire most of the upper level portion of the Woolworth store shortly after the end of the year and convert that area into 4 to 7 smaller stores. We also have 6 stores that have leases expiring at the end of this year. In a short period of time we could have a number of stores in the program. Please advise me of any thoughts you may have and any further steps I should take. Thank you for your help. Yours truly, ~ Salvatore F.

TELEPHONE (714) 884-0106 January 22, 1987 The Honorable Mayor Evlyn Wilcox Members of the Common Council 300 No. "0" street San Bernardino, CA 92418 RE: Encroachment Permit King's Table Restaurant Central city Mall Dear Mayor and Council: Central city Company has succeeded in attracting a major new restaurant to the downtown area. King's Table has agreed to take approximately 10,500 sq. ft. on the upper level of Central city Mall near the main arcade entrance. I know that this is something that the City has been interested in for sometime, i.e., the addition of restaurants in the downtown area that would be open at night and increase evening activity downtown. King's Table is an excellent buffet style restaurant that has a national reputation. It should be a major addition to the Mall and to the downtown area, particularly in its draw for dinner traffic in the evening. King's Table has indicated an interest in improving the facade treatment on its south elevation as it faces the City parking lot. The facade would provide mainly decorative features that would enhance the appearance of the Mall and the appearance of the restaurant. The facade treatment requires a minor encroachment onto the sidewalk area for a decorative column and planter treatment, framing the windows and doors of the restaurant. There will also be an encroachment into air space for the entrance canopy and a decorative awning above the windows and doors. The specific details of the encroachment are shown on the enclosed plan. I have personally 'examined the plan and the area of encroachment and see no interference whatsoever with Mall traffic and no restriction of pedestrian traffic or deliveries along the sidewalk. ' I think that this will be a good aesthetic improvement to the Mall as well as a draw for evening trade. Of course, Central City Company and King's Table will agree to maintain the structures that encroach upon the City/Agency area~ for the life of the structures and would further agree to assume the'liability for said encroachments as we have done in the past. We would also agree to pay the City's cost of processing this encroachment permit. . ";'J __u...... rt.ft""D~ n.urJro.froDC,' .6.Mn nDIO'DATnRc. nv r.1i".NTRAI. CITY MALL ~H L - o o I have also enclosed for your immediate attention three copies of the encroachment plan. We would like to complete this modernization effort in time for the Christmas season and, therefore, must move rapidly to begin construction. In order to meet the construction schedule, we will need approval of an encroachment permit at the next Council meeting. The Council has already approved phase one of the exterior encroachment in February of 1987 on the King's Table side of the main entrance. Phase two will extend this decorative metal and lighting treatment all along the main entrance facade. It will also include a major improvement of the main entrance by popping it out and raising it up to give a grand entry effect. The approval of the phase two encroachment permit is the important first step to the commencement of the modernization plan. I am hoping to be able to meet with and brief with each Counci1person regarding this project prior to the Council meeting. Please call me if you have any questions. Thank you for your continuing cooperation in making this project as successful as it can be. Yours truly, r ..\--<.l. 'v \- '-- , Salvatore F.
