City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution Approving an Agreement with The California Newspapers Partnership for deferral
of Sidewalk Installation on Georgia Boulevard.
Background:
On December 16, 2004, the Development Review Committee approved Development Permit
Type II No. 04-31 for the addition of a two story, 54,320 square foot office building at 2239
N. Gannett Parkway which is located on Georgia Boulevard at Gannett Parkway. This site is
the current location of the Sun newspaper's printing facilities and, upon completion of the new
building, the entire Sun administrative and writing staff will move from its current location in
downtown San Bernardino to the Gannett Parkway site.
Conditions of Approval for the new building require construction of approximately 600 feet of
sidewalk along Georgia Boulevard adjacent to the site. There is no existing sidewalk on
Georgia Boulevard or Gannett Parkway. The nearest bus stop is located on University
Parkway about 1,300 feet from the site and there is no access for pedestrians from that bus
stop along Hallmark Parkway or Gannett Parkway to the site. Facilities are also not available
for pedestrian travel from the site to retail stores, which are located about 600 feet
northeasterly of the Sun site.
Due to the lack of connecting pedestrian facilities in the area, The California Newspapers
Partnership has requested that installation of the sidewalk be deferred until such time as the
property between their site and Hallmark Parkway develops and the sidewalk can be extended
in a continuous fashion to the bus stop and to the adjacent retail facilities.
A proposal has been received for development of the land between Georgia Boulevard and
Hallmark Parkway along Gannett Parkway. As part of the development proposal, Gannett
Parkway at Georgia Boulevard would be substantially modified and a portion of Gannett
Parkway would be vacated. Improvement of a pedestrian path of travel to connect Georgia
Boulevard to Hallmark Parkway would be required as a condition of approval of the vacation
and/or the development project.
The California Newspapers Partnership has submitted the attached Agreement (see Exhibit
"A") which will be recorded and bind current and future owners of the property. When
directed to do so by the City, the current or future owner will be required to construct within
180 days: 1) A sidewalk in the public right-o-way of Georgia Boulevard; 2) Provide a handicap
accessible path of travel from the public right-of-way to the entrance of all buildings on the
site, including the existing structure.
Due to the lack of connecting pedestrian facilities in the area, staff feels the request IS
reasonable and recommends approval of the Agreement.
