STAFF REPORT
IMPROVES TO 423 NORTH E. STREET
In recent months, staff has been managing the demolition of structures,
including a theater and retail building, located at 423 North "E"
Street, also known as the Ritz Theater. In January, 1993, the
demolition of all improvements on the site were completed and the
contractor has moved offsite. The site currently is fenced and remains
as a "backfilled" vacant dirt lot.
The physical description of the property is that it is located between
a currently improved parking lot located at the northwest corner of 4th
and "E" Streets. The site is bounded on the east by the existing
Police Department facility and secured parking lot. Additionally, to
the north is the currently improved and operational Public Parking Lot
Number 2. Both parking lots to the south and to the north are not
contiguous and/or ,joined.
Staff has pursued alternatives for the interim development of the
site. In lieu of negotiations with local property owners regarding
additional parking needed by the County of San Bernardino Department of
Public Social Services, and for the public, staff has determined that
an appropriate interim need would be the development of additional
parking spaces. A preliminary design illustrated that development of
this parcel to the same standards as the parking lot to the south would

relative to the need, staff is confident that this site can be
developed on an interim basis in an effort to yield the quickest and
highest investment return in the area.
Staff has pursued the design and developed cost estimates for the
construction of the improvements. Said costs, including grading and
compaction, installation of landscaping, reconfiguration of existing
light standards, the addition of two (2) new light standards,
underlayment and paving, striping and signs is approximately $48,760.
This work, when and if approved, could be initiated and completed
within 30 days of approval.
In summary, based upon staff's involvement with the ongoing
negotiations for business retention in the downtown area, staff
concludes that the development of the above referenced parcel into a
