STAFF REPORT On December 16, 1985, the Commission directed the formation of a committee to study that area in Central City South from Rialto Avenue to Mill Street and "E" Street to 1-215. The committee has been meeting almost weekly to study the area with our consultants, URS. It was detemined early in the meetings that the srea from Mill south to Inland Center Drive should also be addressed in order that traffic circulation and land uses between our two malls would be consistent. On March 3, 1986, a l20-day moratorium was placed on this area. It was felt that this time period would give the study team time to recommend land uses and initiate a Specific Plan. Two land use alternatives are being reviewed by the study team. They are addressed in the attached Conceptual Development Plan Alternatives. The study team should make its final recommendation by the May 5, 1986, Commission Meeting. Specific Plan . On April ll, 1986, the study team reviewed the Conceptual Development Plan Alternatives and recommended that URS prepare a proposal for the preparation of the Specific Plan and that the proposal be submitted to the Commission on April 21, 1986. The Redevelopment Committee, on April 14, 1986, recommended entering into a contract with URS Consultants for the preparation of the Specific Plan. The proposal is attached. Cheryl Flowers of URS will be present at the Commission Meeting to answer any questions raised. Total compensation shall not exceed $156,000, based on an hourly fee schedule. The Specific Plan should take approximately four montha to complete and be adopted. An Action Schedule will be provided at the meeting of May 5, 1986. The contract proposed includes the following five elements that are required for the adoption of a Specific Plan: 1. a) Description of Project $ 5,000 Need for project location. Relationship to other Plans. Executive Summary b) Market Feasibility Study $ 20,000 2. a) Site Analysis $ 10,000 To include soil types and limitations - to be based on land use. 3. a) Development Infomation $ 80,000 Land Usage, Rationale for Proposed Plan, Phasing Strategy, Infrastructure, Screening . b) Engineering, Landscaping $ 6,000 and Cost Estimates for assessment district implementation. 75-0264 763G/SL 4/21/86 .

Staff and Gene Klatt, Assistant City Engineer, met on April 4, 1986, with Russ Mullins of Brown & Mullins regarding the parcel map for Simi Development, Gene Klatt felt that a decision needed to be made regarding the vacation of Velarde Street and the location of the "F" Street extension. After discussion, it was felt imperative that complete engineering be accomplished for not only the "G" Street realignment, but "F" Street extension. on April II, 1986, the study team reviewed a proposal from Brown & Mullins to provide complete engineering required for the Specific Plan. The contract will also include a cost estimate to accomplish the traffic circulation pattern proposed. The engineer will work with the Agency, City Engineering and the Consultant during the Specific Plan process. The Agency is proposing a joint contract between the Agency, City Engineering and Brown & Mullins -- all services to be coordinated through Roger Hardgrave's office. The contract is for a not to exceed amount of $55,000 based on actual hours. Attached is a letter from Engineering recommending approval of the agreement.

DC SAt, MtOTEC LONDON April 16. 1986 Ms. Glenda Saul Executive Director Redevelopment Agency City of San Bernardino 300 North "D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 SUBJECT: Proposal for Preparation of a Specific Plan for the Central City South Study Area Dear Glenda: The information provided herein is URS' proposal to prepare a Specific Plan for the Central City South Study Area, for which URS has completed a Draft Conceptual Land Use Plan Alternatives Report. Based on recommendations of the Central City South Committee to 'proceed with a Specific Plan, and your request for a proposal to provide such services, this letter proposal addresses the tasks to be undertaken for completion and adoption of the Plan. This proposal is based only on the work that has been completed to date, and it recognizes that the Council/Committee has yet to approve the land use plan alternatives in concept or to select those preferred land uses on which to base the Specific Plan. The final outcome of those decisions may affect the costs estimated herein; we have therefore provided you with what we feel will be the higher range of costs. The scope of work is not as detailed as we would prefer, and it should therefore be considered as preliminary and to be refined following a decision on the Conceptual Land Use Alternatives Report. Realizing that the City is also considering a proposal for engineering services for the same study area, URS has not included any infrastructure engineering tasks in our Scope of Work beyond what will be needed in the Specific Plan's discussion sections. Assuming that most of the engineering analyses area done under separate contract to the City, we plan merely to incorporate the engineering consultant's work into the Specific Plan. We also propose to include Mr. Chris Soltis of Soltis Design on our project team to prepare the architectural design and landscape standards for the Plan. We understand that the proposal you have received for engineering services only includes utility and drainage design based only on street alignments. Follow- ing the design of land uses, the engineering scope will need to be expanded to address the entire study area. This information will be required for the Specific Plan and for implementing an Assessment District. Because most of the engineering work will become a part of the Specific Plan, URS also proposes to be the managing consultant for preparation of the Plan. This will assist in the timely completion of all work, assure no duplication of effort, and aid in the overall process and report preparation. . . . . . . . Ms. Glenda Saul April 16, 1986 Page 2 Additionally, URS can provide computer mapping services that will generate highly detailed parcel maps for the study team to use in all engineering and land use planning tasks. As an initial task, URS can use the photographic map and survey control data from the engineering consultant to digitize street names, rights-of-way, easements, and tax parcels. This information can then be used, with legal descriptions for all preliminary engineering (including all utility, drainage, and street designs), graphics, and land use planning. These maps will later provide an excellent tool for City Planning and Engineering Departments' review and approval processes for all future develop- ment within the study area. Digitizing the initial base map is included in our cost estimate. Additional overlays (streets, easements, infrastructure) can be provided and would serve as the base for future land use and engineer- ing planning throughout the City. A cost estimate for these maps will be provided separately, following a decision by the City and a joint meeting among all consultants. The following pages present our proposed "preliminary" Scope of Work and estimated cost for each required element of the Specific Plan, cost estimates for two additional, recommended supporting elements to the Specific Plan, and an hourly billing rate for staff proposed to be assigned to the project. The Specific Plan will require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), that the Planning Department indicates can be prepared concurrently with the Specific Plan and preferably adopted with the Plan. Therefore, our estimated study period, based on the preparation of both documents is four to five months for submittal of the Draft EIR and Draft Specific Plan. Again, this will depend on final decisions on how to proceed. As this project has developed over the last five months, URS has been very anxious to see it succeed and progress to a plan that will ensure development consistent with the City's goals and objectives, and more importantly, one that will enhance the area and the city as a whole. Adoption of a Specific Plan for the area will serve this purpose, and is the optimal route for the City to consider. The State's 1984 guidelines for implementing General Plans defines Specific Plans as being "most commonly used in areas of transition, such as on the developing periphery of urban areas, and in central city areas designated for rehabilitation or redevelopment. Their main advantages are that they particularize the policies and programs of the general plan and coordinate public and private efforts in the development of an area." As a final consideration for the City, these same guidelines also state. ". . . the law authorizes cities and counties to recover the costs of preparing a speci- fic plan by charging developers seeking governmental approvals based on the specific plan a prorated fee related to the benefit received" (Government Code Section 65453). . - . . Ms. Glenda Saul April 16, 1986 Page 3 . . . Our San Bernardino staff has truly enjoyed working with the City on this project and we look forward to the opportunity to proceed with you and see a plan for the area brought to fruition.

Brown and Mullins, Inc. proposal that comprehensive engineering plans be undertaken for this study area is a definite necessity for the project to be undertaken seriously. The absence of comprehensive plans creates havac for all important city departments responsible for approving any construc- tion within this project area. Engineering has to look at each parcel and street to determine safety, drainage, uti! ity, traffic flow, etc. It would be very difficult to develop any large area of land without the proper engineering plans. These plans can determine the cost and feasability of various proposals already made regarding the project. . I want to commend you and your staff, the committee and councilpersons working on this project. Each person has worked diligently and hard in bringing the concept to this point of fruition. The merit of changing the character of this area to a higher general use, of creating a business climate that would bring in new enterprises and of developing streets and avenues that would connect the two vital retail shopping centers is marvel- ous. The elimination of blighted business's and structures in the area is a worthy endeavor. Francine and I are available to help in any way we can. ward to seeing this Central City South project come off and become reality. .

KLATT, Assfstant Cfty Engfneer SUBJECT: Engfneering Proposal from BMI for Central City South DATE: COPIES: April 16, 1986 File No.: 6.2101 (6680) ------------------------------------------------------------- This Department has reviewed the proposal for engineering services as prepared by BMI, Inc. for the preparation of alignment studies and other engineering studfes for the area bounded by 1-215, E Street, Rfalto Avenue and the Inland Center Mall. At the request of this Department, costs for the engineerfng study were solicited on ~he basis of necessity 'to properly plan and approve the developments in the area. Presently, maps and plans have been submitted for development in this area and without an overall detailed, plan with specific alignments and design parameters, this department cannot ade- quately check or approve development plans. The proposed study should provide sufficient detail and overall criteria to allow the area to develop "as planned" and without causlng future confllcts in alignment, purpose or deslgn. Thls department has revlewed the cost estlmate as submitted and can support an agreement: 1. In which the City can select the ftems of work to be performed; 2. the hourly rate for a not-to-exceed flgure the as Payment is based on servlces provided wlth shown ln the proposal; 3. This department revlews and coordinates the work of the consultant wlth input from the RDA. A cooperatlve effort between RDA, Public Works and consultant will be necessary to attaln the best possible design and most functional guidelines. It wlll be necessary to work closely with the consultant to insure the ltems of work address the problems and concerns of the City and the end result is a useable design meetlng the needs of the communlty at large and the specific requlrements of this area ln particular. . . . . . .
