B.1. lMPEDIHEIlTS TO GR.0VlH
o
1. With the development of the 1-15 Freeway in the late 1950's and the
resultant abandonment of Route 66, the designated cODllllercia1 area
suffered a predictable decline. Once thriving businesses, motels,
service stations and convenience stores, did not survive in the absence
of transient tourist dollars, and a liadted local population base
prevented a transition to localized neighborhood shopping. As a
result, the cOlIIBercial area has become characterized by depreciated
property values, structural deterioration and abandonment,
non-conforming and incompatible land uses and a general appearance of
neglect and disuse.
2. Viable businesses w1thin the commercial area are not distinquishable
due to problems of structural age, deferred maintenance, lack of
landscaping and signage abuse.
3. Reuse conversion of many existing structures is liadted due to age,
costs associated w1th renovation and/or expansion and the scarcity of
off street parking.
4. The numerous undeveloped parcels, scattered throughout the commercial
area, are subject to the overgrowth of weeds, illegal dumping and
rodent infestation.
o
5.
The relatively low cost of property is offset by costs of demolition
and rehabilitation, as well as limitations on reuse and expansion
potential.
6. The post Proposition 13 liadtations on municipal revenues and the
absence of a focused comprehensive plan for the area have resulted in
reduced public expend1tures on needed capital improvements and
ma1ntenance, lack of long term pred1ctabi1ity of public services,
disfunctional policies, heightened economic uncertainty and a lack of
investment incentives.
7. The commercial area is not buffered from adjacent residential
neighborhoods. Hence, the condition of housing, generally old and
deteriorated, has a direct negative influence on the image and
esthetics of the commercial area. In the overall zone, approximately
50% of the housing is deteriorated and/or dilapidated. The average
valuation of a single faadly dwelling is $46,000, compared to a City
average of $70,000.
8. Highland Avenue, Baseline and Fifth Street, the major east/west streets
through the zone, present unsightly gateways to the commercial area.
Abandoned structures, deteriorated building facades, lack of
streetscaping and a cohesive land use pattern heighten impressions of a
high risk area.
o
o
o
o
o
o
The cODllllercial area has not been within a redevelopment project,
thereby limiting investment incentives otherwise available in the
competing cODllllercial areas to the east.
10. The absence of any major commercial tenant, (e.g. supermarket) inhibits
efforts to attract and to retain the smaller convenience retailer
within the commercial area.
9.
11. The commercial area lacks an identity as a market unit, thereby losing
consumer dollars to the competitive edge of clearly identified, active
commercial areas and shopping centers.
12. Roughly, a third of the area within the overall zone is reSidentially
zoned vacant land. The continued underutilization of this land
inhibits the establishment of a population base sufficient in size to
demand and support the commercial area.
13. During the past year, two savings and loan associations and a major
bank have terminated their branch operations, leaving the cODllllercial
area and the major portion of the zone without any banking facilities.
14. Relatively high rates of unemployment and crime, coupled with serious
problems of vandalism, grafitti and idle youth enhance the high risk
image and poor reputation of the area. Consequently, access to venture
capital and long term financing is difficult, if not impossible.
15.
A sizeable portion of the industrial area (560 acres) lacks essential
infrastucture. In the absence of publiC assistance in the installation
of water and sewer lines, streets, flood control facilities and
utilities, the area cannot be in a competitive mode for private
investment with the various industrial parks throughout the region.
The disposition of finished industrial sites within the balance of the
industrial area, (210 acres) is impeded by relatively high land costs
and the absence of a cohesive marketing strategy.
o
16. The overall unemployment rate for the zone is 12.5 percent, with
unemployment among black males reaching 16.9 percent. In addition, the
drop-out rate among high school youth within the zone is substantially
higher than that for the balance of the community.

B.2 LOCAL INCEIlTIVBS:
1. Redevelopment:
The City has adopted the Northwest Redevelopment Project which
encompasses most of the proposed zone area. As a result, a
redevelopment plan for the area is in place, and the Redevelopment
Agency, through the provisions for tax increment financing, will be
able to provide private investment incentives through funding for land
acquisition, clearance, assembly and write-down as well as for off-site
improvements and direct business loans. Industrial Development Bonds
(IDBs), UDAGs, HODAG and Rental Rehab loans will also be available in
the zone.
2. City Rebates:
A. Commercial
For new and/or expanding business within the designated commercial area
of the Enterprise Zone, the City will provide the following rebate
incentives during the first three years of the life of each such
business:
1.
2.
3.
100% rebate of the utility tax
100% rebate of the business license fee
25% rebate of the water fee - for new businesses only
B. An expansion of an existing cODllllercial business shall be eligible
for the City benefits only within the designated Enterprise Zone
commercial area, as identified on Exhibit C, and if one or more of
the following criteria are met:
1. A physical move of an existing business into a new location
within the designated commercial area that results in at
least a 50% increase of permanent, full-time employees, (or
two employees, whatever is larger), within three years,
from date of move.
2. A physical expansion of existing facilities which results
in at least a 50% increase of permanent, full-time
employees (or two employees, whatever is larger), within
three years from date of completion of expansion.
3. Said business cannot qualify more than once. Employees
hired must be San Bernardino residents and have been on the
job for at least nine (9) months.
- 3 -
c
c
c
o
o
o
o
4.
For expanding business located within the designated commercial
area, the amount of rebate to be granted will be that amount over
and above a base. The base being the amount of taxes the business
paid for the past 12 montha prior to the move or expansion.
5. A "new business" is any business which is start-up in nature or an
existing business which has relocated to San Bernardino from
another area. A business which has been sold, resulting in a
change of ownership, will not be considered a new business.
C. Industrial
For new industrial firms located within the designated
industrial area of the Enterprise Zone, the City will provide
the following rebate incentives during the first year of
operation.
1. 25% rebate of the utility tax.
2. 25% rebate of the business license tax.
3.
Fee Waiver:
During the first three years of zone designation, for each new and/or
expanding business in the designated commercial area, the City will
waive all engineering fees, planning fees, building permit fees, and
mechanical fees. The City and Redevelopment Agency are not waiving
storm drain or sewer fees. -
4.
Beautification:
Within the eligible area, funds will be granted on a dollar for
dollar basis, up to a maximum of $5,000 per building, for
improvements to commercial or industrial property. Funds may be used
to pay for materials, supplies, and 50% of labor costs for exterior
improvements. For improvements exceeding the $5,000, an additional
20% (up to $10,000) may be granted based on need. .
5. Job Linkage:
New or expanding businesses, locating within the zone, who agree to
enter into a First Source Referral Agreement with the Agency and the
Private Industry Council for the hiring of San Bernardino residents
for new, entry-level permanent positions, will receive a cash bonus
of up to $500 per employee hired under the agreement. Employees will
receive referrals from the San Bernardino Employment and training
Agency. Businesses located within speCified target areas within the
Enterprise Zone, can receive an additional $1,000 per employee hired
under the Agreement. The City has approved a start-up budget of
$300,000 for this program.

6. Small Business Loans:
The City has established a small business loan progrSlll which makes
full or partial loans (with bank participation) for high risk small
businesses. The progrSll is funded by the City by charging a 1% fee
on IDB's with the fee going into a revolving loan fund. Further,
UDAG repayments also are used to fund the revolving fund in addition
to CDBG funding. Since its inception, the City has contributed one
million to stimulate new businesses in the City. 25% of the 1% IDB
development fees will be placed in a separate loan fund to provide
working capital for new and/or expanding businesses in the Enterprise
Zone.
7. Technical Assistance:
The Agency will work with the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce
and the local university, cODllllunity college and neighborhood
organizations such as Operation Second Chance under the terms of a
Memorandum of Understanding (to be developed) to provide technical,
management, and financial assistance to small and medium sized
businesses located within the zone.
8.
ErR Processing:
o
The Environmental Impact Report for the City's Enterprise Zone shall
be in sufficient detail so that any new development occuring within
the zone shall be grandfathered in through a negative declaration,
thus accelerating the approval process and reducing development cost.
9.
Streamlining:
The Agency and City will guarantee to reduce review and approval time
for developments located within the zone. A staff member will be
designated as a contact for developers to assist in speeding the
approval process and assuring that the developer has the requisite
material submitted. A flowchart specifying departments involved in
review, length of review time, elements required, and departmental
contacts will be developed and published. The City will correct
inconsistencies existing between zoning and the general plan.
10. Incubator Project:
The Agency, with the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce and
Economic Development Corporation will provide an incubator project
for the creation of new business within the zone. It is intended to
utilize an existing vacant building and have the Agency write down
the cost to the point where it will assist small businesses to get
started. Businesses being assisted will be joined with the job
linkage program previously described.
c

o
o
o
o
C 11. In-Fill Housing:
Agency staff has prepared, and will submit to Council, an in-fill
housing program intended to encourage residential development on the
several hundred vacant buildable lots in the zone. The program will
offer a number of incentives to owners and/or developers to build,
such as:
Pre-approved construction drawings at a reduced cost
Financing at reduced rates
Reduced brokerage fees
Pre-approved variances when required
List of potential and qualified buyers
Agency assistance to construct curbs, gutters and sidewalks
Waiver of certain fees.
12. Housing Rehab:
The Agency will target use of its CDBG housing rehab program for low
to moderate income residents, in those residential neighborhoods
within the zone with emphasis on those iDllllediately adjacent to the
commercial area.
13. Housing Development Financing:
o
Agency will promote the use of Mortgage Revenue Bond and Industrial
Bond financing for residential development within the zone, and will
give consideration, under these financing vehicles, to developers
proposing multi-family or single family residential projects within
the zone.
14. Demolition:
The Agency will concentrate use of its CDBG funded demolition program
within the zone.
15. Land Database:
The Agency, in concert with the State University, will develop and
maintain a database on all available land within the zone.
Information will include: size, ownership, value, zoning, use,
location and tax information.

within the cODllllercially designated area of the zone on a case by case
basis.
18. Retail Food Market:
The City and Redevelopment Agency have identified a viable site for
the location of a supermarket. The City and Agency will assist in
marketing the site and to provide financial incentives e.g. land
acquisition, assembly and write down as well as off site
improvements; job linkage, as necessary to secure a prime retail food
market user.
19. Crime Prevention:
The City has recently established eight police sub-stations with
three located within the zone and is initiating a neighborhood crime
watch program. Sixty additional Policemen have been hired. The City

B. 3 EFFICACY OF INCENTIVES
1. Redevelopment
Since the Enterprise Zone is located within a redevelopment project
area, it will benefit from the existing redevelopment plan which
governs property maintenance, landscaping and signage standards.
Through the provisions of the increment financing, the Agency has the
ability to finance the installation of necessary infrastucture in the
560 acre industrial area, thereby enabling the marketing of industrial
parcels at competitive prices.
Agency assistance will be provided, as needed, to assist in the
development of 2 major food markets, including land cost write-downs
and infrastructure improvements. In addition, these financing tools
will be utilized as needed to encourage and provide incentives to
businesses developing in the balance of the commercial area and to
assist the Community Hospital with its plan to rebuild and expand into
two new medical office buildings.
The City has combined its redevelopment, community development and
housing programs under one department. Thus, all necessary legal,
financial and staff resources are coordinated, resulting in a more
efficient zone administration.
2.
City Rebates and Fee Waiver
This incentive will help reduce direct development and start up costs
for new business ventures within the commercial and industrial
designated areas of the zone.
3. Beautification
Under this program, the provision for $5,000 in matching grants will be
used to correct problema such as unsightly cODllllercial building facades,
unsightly wooden and chain link fences, poor signage, landscaping and
the blighted appearance of the area.
4. Job Linkage
This program provides multiple benefits through its cash bonus
inducement. The private sector will be able to take advantage of
on-the-job training funds to train and hire unemployed zone residents
for new jobs created within the zone. By targeting the maximum bonus
to key areas, the Agency can assure that the most depressed areas
receive maximum benefits.

5.
Small Business Loans
This program will provide, in part, the necessary risk venture capital and
long term financing so desperately needed by small businesses proposing to
develop in the zone. In addition, this program will provide the necessary
infusion of operating capital for expanding businesses in the commercial
area.
6. Technical Assistance
Implemention of this program will result in the training of existing as
well as new small business ventures in proper accounting procedures, tax
preparation, business plan development and business management. This will
help reduce the number of business closures and help assure the continued
success of the many small businesses currently located or planning to
locate in the area.
7. EIR Processing
This program will assist every new development locating within the zone by
expediting processing time, saving pre-development costs and creating a
pro-business atmosphere.
8.
Streamlining
It is anticipated that this incentive will reduce processing time of any
major development through City departments by 50-75%, or approximately
three weeks, thereby reducing preliminary development costs.
9.
Incubator
This program will provide employment opportunities for area residents
(est. 10 incubator businesses, 100 jobs) through assistance to viable
start up businesses by reducing rent, providing common office support,
technical assistance, flexible space and lease agreements. The program
will also assist in the occupation and upgrading of existing vacant
industrial andlor commercial buildings.
10. Infill housing, housing rehab, housing development financing
Through the active marketing and implementation of the infill housing,
single family mortgage revenue bond and multi-family Mortgage Revenue Bond
financing programs, the Agency will correct the impediment of a 33%
vacancy rate in the residential area.
The single family rehab and multi-family rental rehab programs will
address the dilapidated conditions of many of the owner occupied and
rental structures. The programs will create construction jobs and
increase the population base necessary to support commercial activities.

ell. Demolition
This program will help eradicate the problem of vacant and abandoned
substandard structures within the zone, thereby eliminating detractive
nuisances and blighted structures within the area.
12. Available Land
The proposed data bank informaton will, as a follow up to the marketing
program, be sent to prospective businesses. The Redevelopment Agency and
the EDC have already established a marketing program and follow-up
procedures (including paying potential business travel and accoDllllodation
costs) . The creation of a computer based data bank will expand the
program by sharing more timely information with the local real estate
community and out-of-city prospective users. The final result will be an
accurate and timely data base of available sites, matched to specific user
needs.
13. Capital Improvement
The five year program to upgrade public facilities will resolve several
impediments in the area. It will bring employment opportunities to
residents and suppliers located within the zone and correct long standing
public improvement deficiencies which have lead to the deteriorated
appearance of the area. It will further provide evidence to the business
community the city's firm commitment to create a healthy business
environment.
c
14. Parking Relief
Granting of variances for parking and set-back requirements will
materially assist small businesses in locating in or expanding within the
existing built-up commercial area. Due to the parcel size and lot
coverage, the blanket application of current parking standards would
restrain many viable businesses from locating or expanding in the
commercial area.
The City's intent to review variances on a case by case basis, rather than
imposing a blanket variance or waiver, is in of itself, a commitment to
provide assistance to achieve the equally desired goal of up-grading the
entire zone.
15. Retail Food Market
The successful development of this anchor tenant will attract satellite
convenience stores, generate increased consumer volume and generally
stimulate economic growth in the area.

C.2 STATEMENT FOR APPLICATION AREA
The applicant hereby certifies:
1. That the area designated complies with Section 5603(c) of
the regulations.
a. The average rate of unemployment for 1980 was 5.64%
or higher per 1980 census data and;
b. The percent of persons below the poverty level in
1980 was 12.4% or more per the 1980 census data.
2. That the application consists of one commercial area and
one industrial area.
As shown in Exhibit "A", the commercial area is within the
eligible Enterprise Zone area as designated by the State's
Department of Commerce and has continuous boundaries.
As shown in Exhibit "A", the industrial area is within the
eligible Enterprise Zone area as designated by the State's
Department of Commerce and has continuous boundaries.
Commercial
The commercial area was selected after several workshops with City
Council and key neighborhood and community leaders. After several
other sites were analyzed, final decision was to select a
commercial strip in zone that needed the most assistance due to
numerous problems such as vacancies, lack of parking, lack of
working capital and market incentives. Area is approximately 150
acres and maximum City incentives are only available for
commercial business in this targeted area.
Industrial
The industrial area was originally selected in 1983 as part of the
City's business Development Zone, prepared in anticipation of
Enterprise zones. The 1983 area contained the industrial and much
of the residential commercial area designated in this Enterprise
Zone application and subsequent designated City-adopted
redevelopment plans. The planning process by City and cODllllunity
groups to designate the targeted industrial area took months of
effort, after which there was general agreement that the areas
close proximity to west side zone residents would achieve maximum
job creation benefits. The designated area was zoned industrial
as well as being part of two redevelopment plans. Therefore, its
size and boundaries are considered reasonable. Due to a complete
lack of infrastructure however, the vacant undeveloped area will
need maximum public aid to ensure its success.

The City has historically recognized the area contained in this
application as the most economically depressed area of the City;
according to the census date, the proposed area contains the most
blight, highest unemployment, lowest incomes, highest school drop
out rates and crime rates. City records indicate the majority of
CDBG funds have been spent in this area (80%), and that the zone
encompasses five (5) separate adopted redevelopment project areas
which meet the State definition of blight. Final correction of
problema contained in the proposed zone will allow the City to use
its limited resources to correct smaller pockets of economically
or distressed areas elsewhere in the City.
