Herxierson Director of community Development KJHjVM/lab/l106 attachment 8/4/88 2 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN August 4, 1988 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN Prepared By: CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Kenneth J. Henderson, Director Val Mahabir, Economic Development Consultant Gerald Duncan, Research Assistant, CSUSB Leslie A. Bond, Senior Secretary August 4, 1988 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The City of San Bernardino Community Development Department wishes to acknowledge the contributions and assistance of Assistant City Engineer Gene Klatt and Design Engineer Harrel Mosely from the City's Department of Public Works and Amador "Moe" Estevene, Engineering and Design Coordinator with the City's Redevelopment Agency. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN The community Development Department of the city of San Bernardino is the administrative arm of the city government primarily responsible for developing and coordinating various economic development activities within city limits. The department is staffed with ten (10) individuals who administer the Community Development Block Grant, certain economic development activities and a variety of housing programs. The department's funds are geared primarily toward public improvements, housing development and rental rehabilitation. It is also true, however, that a variety of public service programs and a small business development program are also funded. As the City enters into a new era of development and prosperity, the focus of its economic development efforts is in the construc tion, repair and maintenance of an adequate public infrastructure. community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding is the catalyst for this effort. The department, therefore, plays the key role in identifying and providing resources to aid in the construction and upkeep of public facilities and structures. The Community Development citizen Advisory Committee (CDCAC) is the Committee designated within the City structure to provide the input and guidance to the City in administering its economic development programs. The CDCAC serves its primary purpose of providing input and guidance in the administration of the city's Community Development programs. It is within the overall context of the CDBG program that specific economic development activities are addressed. Staff of the department serve as staff support to the CDCAC. This role intergrates the routine administrative support (typing of minutes, agenda preparation, correspondence, etc.) together with the more project sensitive briefing on each project considered for funding. The Committee is provided such detailed briefing on each project that is necessary to provide a complete understanding of the projects to be funded. The Committee is then required to vote on each item requiring its action. Once the Committee action has been taken the item is forwarded to the Mayor and Common Council for their approval. This system affords the Mayor and Common Council the mechanism to receive community input on its CDBG-funded projects. Since the Committee is comprised of citizens appointed by the Mayor and Common Council, it is reasonable to assume that the mechanism for input in the planning phase, guidance in the administration of programs and general feedback on all programs is both relevant and critical to the process. 8/4/88 1 Appointment to the Committee is based on a systeE of screening individuals who are well suited to the task of providing relevant input from their community. These individuals are usually well versed in the issues involving their respective areas and neighborhoods. These issues encompass both the social and economic needs of their fellow citizens within their area of representation. The Committee members, both individually and as a group, have all seen and shared concerns of the local economy as it relates to the need for balanced growth with the resultant stresses caused to facilites and structures. It is with such an understanding of their environment that this Committee views economic development within the City. The CDCAC is comprised of fourteen (14) representatives of diverse interest and backgrounds. These individuals represent the entire City through its Ward system. Seven (7) of those individuals are appointed by city Council members, each member representing one of the city's seven (7) Wards. The Mayor of the city appoints the other seven (7) members from the community at large. The following breakdown is consistent with the representation necessary from each group within the total population: Nine (9) Representatives are Women: 64% Three (3) Representatives are Hispanic: 21% Seven (7) Representatives are Black: 50% Committee meetings are subject to the provisions of the Brown Act and, as such, are open to the public. Each agenda provides an item for public input. In addition to the above Committee, the Community Development Department solicits and encourages citizen participation by creating Ad Hoc and/or standing committees for input and guidance into other areas, particularly those requiring specialized knowledge such as mobilehome park issues or small business development. The Area and its Economy Nestled in the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains, the City of San Bernardino is enjoying the most prosperous and intense growth in its history. The City is the second largest in total population in the Inland Empire. As of January 1, 1988, the population of the city was 148,400, a 5.4% increase from January 1, 1987. This figure is expected to reach 229,499 by the year 2010, a 64.65% increase. As of the year 1984, the nearby City of Riverside had 48,681 more people than the city of San Bernardino, by the year 2010, the difference in population is projected to be a negligible figure of 793 people. These two cities will retain 8/4/88 2 their status of being the two largest cities in the Inland Empire by the year 2010. To understand the economy of the City of San Bernardino and the effect of the population increase on the future economy, one has to first consider the state and national economy as a whole, while focusing on Southern California and the Inland Empire in particular. The national forecasting service of Data Resources, Inc., (DRI) projects that the national economy will experience strong growth through the 1980's and mid-1990's. The DRI projects for the period 1986-1994, the nation's Real GNP will average 2.6% growth annually, up from 2.0% growth for the period 1979-1986. At the same time and for the same period the consumer price index will increase at an annual average rate of 4.6%, down from 6.1% for the period 1979 to 1986. The nation's population as a whole is projected to grow by 24,400,000 people to 276,600,000 people between the years 1987 and 2000. Overall, the nation is expected to gain around 43,000,000 new jobs by the year 2010. It is estimated that approximately ninty percent (90%) of the nation's newly created jobs are in the service industry. This trend is expected to continue. Not unlike the national outlook, the California economy is expected to show steady growth. The California economy will also experience a dramatic shift towards the service industry. Overall, the state will experience an annual average increase in employment of 240,000 during the years 1986 to 1991, up from 233,000 employees during the period 1979-1986. The bulk of employment occurred and will occur in the service industry. The average annual increase for employment in the service industry is projected at 197,000 during the period 1986 to 1991, up from 189,000 during the period 1979 to 1986. This is in contrast with the 19,000 per each of the same two periods in the manufacturing sector of the economy. The Inland Empire as a whole has experienced a dramatic rise in population growth to a level of 2,187,000 as of January 1, 1988, an increase of 6.4% over the period ended January 1, 1987. This population growth has given rise to a service economy throughout the Riverside/San Bernardino area. Employment in the Inland Empire grew at an annual average rate of 7.4% during 1987. A total of 22,000 new jobs were created in 1987 in the trade and service industry, (roughly 51% of the total new jobs created). Of this amount, trade industry accounted for 10,400 new jobs, while services accounted for 11,600 new jobs. The City of San Bernardino follows the same pattern as described above with trade and services dominating the employment market. The growth in population has been due largely to the affordable housing market, job availability (not only in the Inland Empire, but also in Los Angeles and Orange County), pleasant climate and reasonable commuting distance to most points of interest in the Southern California region. The area's affordable housing element 8/4/88 3 has attracted a younger population to the City wjth a median age of 28.4 years compared to Riverside with a median age of 29.9 years. The city's commuting work force accounts for as much as 25% of the work forces in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. .~ The City of San Bernardino, with its well developed service industry base, has provided employment to much of the surrounding communities' work force. This fact, along with the retail trade base, significantly increases the vehicular traffic flow to and from the City. Freeway 1-10, in particular, has experienced a dramatic increase in traffic flow. In addition to the problems of traffic congestion, the City is being faced with the rapid deterioration of its public facilities and structures. The drain on City government services has placed a heavy burden on the City's resources with more funding requirements for public services. The need for improvement in the quality of living for the City's population has also caused the structuring of the City's budget to meet and improve upon certain basic services such as police protection, fire protection, parks and recreation and cultural and civic activities. These budgetary constraints have forced the City to forego or defer some of its projects for which funds are being requested. ~. The Special Impact Area (SIA) (Attachment "1") of the city covers much of the heavy traffic area, and also those areas where public facilities and structures have suffered most. According to the 1980 census, this area's residents are poorer than the rest of the community and live in blighted neighborhoods with a high rate of illiteracy. According to a 1985 estimate of population conducted by the Environmental Public Works Agency of the County of San Bernardino, the number of dwelling units in the SIA was 27,619 units with a total population of 82,983. The 1980 census showed that 49.45% of the households in the SIA had an income of below $10,000 per year. A total of 36.85% of the population according to the 1980 census was below the age of 19 years old. Roughly 49% of the population are non-white. Goals The City has identified several projects that are key to the development of certain areas within the City's Special Impact Area. These projects also impact the growth and stability of the entire City because of their strategic importance in meeting needs relevant to certain key developments within the City. The overall Central city area, Tri-city development, the commercial/industrial strip beginning at the Central city area and traversing the City eastward to the Hospitality Lane area, ~ 8/4/88 4 ~:I Waterman Avenue and pockets of under developed l~nd eastward of Waterman Avenue towards Norton Air Force Base represent key development projects for the City. These areas represent the most attractive prospects for development. The Tri-city area and the Hospitality Lane area have experienced and continue to experience the most rapid industrial/commercial growth in the City. certain shortfalls, however, hinder continued growth and more importantly, may affect the City's ability to prepare for and cope with the future demands of the entire City's population. The City's overall goal is to act as facilitator and "primer" of the current growth in its population and economy. A program of enhancements of past and current project developments is developed around the principle of managing such past and current growth. An effort at alleviating the various stresses within the natural and contrived environment starts with the careful cultivating of the attitudes of the City's citizenry and government toward growth. It also includes an assessment and analysis of the various factors and mechanisms that contribute to deterioration of public facilities and structures and the natural environment. The preceding section of this plan provides a discussion of the City's current and projected growth. As is noted, the ensuing years would be most challenging in that the City's public infrastructure must rise to the challenge of this growth. The condition of roads, traffic circulation patterns, sewer systems, drainage, water supply, solid waste management and air quality would all be impacted by this growth. The fact that such rapid growth will occur in a relatively short period of time raises the question of balance and timing. The issue of balance sets as a priority the ongoing every day needs of the population on its government services, while the issue of timing necessitates juxtaposing various projects and services consistent with overall growth patterns. As the City grows and prepares for the future, key decisions must be made affecting jobs, quality of life, the environment and of course, the drain on City resources and consequently its ability to provide adequate public improvements. The City's primary and immediate goals may be summarized as follows: 1. To improve the quality of life for residents of the City, particularly those afflicted by the depravation caused by blight within their communities. 2. To enhance and preserve economic development by working in concert with business and industry. 3. To prepare for future growth by providing an adequate public infrastructure that would encourage continued growth. 8/4/88 5 4. To preserve and protect the natural environme~t from adversities that are bound to occur as a result of the projected growth. 5. To create an adequate number of jobs for the populace by providing for growth in labor intensive industries. specific Development obiectives The city in its recently adopted Capital Improvement Program Plan, has identified projects to be completed within the period 1987/1988 to 1991/1992 with a total cost of $77,258,085. Another $98,770,300 worth of projects have been deferred because of lack of projected funding availability. Many of the projects that are being deferred are, however, critical to the continued development of the City and, moreover, to the meeting of certain prime objectives that would allow orderly and systematic growth. projects for which funding can be reasonably anticipated within the five (5) year plan period are not included for consideration within this overall Economic Development Plan (OEDP). However, certain projects which we believe are critical for the overall development of the City, and in particular the Special Impact Area of the city, are being included for consideration. A summary of proposed expenditures for which the city has identified funding within the 1987/1988 and 1991/1992 period are as follows: 1. General Buildings: $26,423,059 2. Streets and Street Lighting: $29,714,174 3. Sewers: $ 3,281,050 4. storm Drains: $ 3,616,150 5. Traffic controls: $ 2,862,100 6. Parks and Recreation: $10,898,952 7.

Development - fifteen (15) acre park northwest section of City: $1,500,000 Proposed OEDP proiects The projects that are being proposed for consideration under the OEDP are viewed as critical in meeting the overall goals of the City as stated earlier in this document. These projects focus on key needs within primary areas of development throughout the city. It is felt that by prioritizing these projects for funding it will sustain the growth of these areas and have an overall positive impact on facilitating growth throughout the city. It is not coincidental that these projects are within the city's Redevelop ment Areas (see Attachment "3"). Given the objectives of redevelopment in eliminating slum and degradation, these projects, if funded within the next year's EDA funding cycle, would improve the quality of life for the populace by acting as a catalyst in promoting and sustaining growth within these areas. The following projects are listed in order of priority for funding considera- tion: 1. underground utilities on Waterman Avenue from Dumas Street to Ninth street: $3,200,000 This project's significance lies in its proximity to the Hospitality Lane and Tri-City redevelopment areas. Waterman Avenue also serves as a prime off-ramp for traffic entering the City from 1-10. Along with "E" and Mill Streets, Waterman Avenue represents the busiest street as measured by vehicular traffic. The city has targeted this area for development as an extension of current development to the south (Tri-City and Hospitality Lane). The area is characterized by vacant undeveloped and under- developed land with dilapidated, albeit, sparse housing. The most severe conditions of blight and under development occurs south of Mill street to Dumas Street. North of Mill Street to Ninth Street is prime available developable land. The area north of Mill street to Ninth Street may be characterized as a commercial strip with some new retail outlets interspersed with old, decaying and 8/4/88 10 otherwise dilapidated structures. Retail and service outlets, such as automobile junkyards and auto-repair shops, exist alongside small eating establishments. It is conceivable that these businesses may be encouraged to upgrade their establishments to coincide with new development. The City has tried to stimulate development in the area. There has, however, been significant resistance in the past of developers to bear the burden of the cost for construction of the necessary underground utilities. There is now an inclination on the part of the City to facilitate these costs so as to encourage development of the area. 2. Landscaping Waterman Avenue from Santa Ana River to Central Avenue: $ 400,000 This project is located just south of the above listed project. As in the above project, traffic flow is heavy and constant. Much of the traffic bears some relationship to the Tri-City and Hospitality Lane areas. In addition to the many professional offices (including corporate headquarters and government offices), the Tri-City and Hospitality Lane areas are characterized by a large hotel, several upscale motels and numerous eating establish- ments. This, along with the high concentration of traffic from Norton Air Force Base, causes this project area to be a focal point of vehicular activity. The fact that this area is an important entrance point to the City from freeway 1-10 adds to its significance. . The City views the landscaping of this area as a significant, if not critical, venture to the development of the entire City. The visitor accommodation industry can be significantly impacted by the beautification of this project area. Another reason for this project is to stimulate the development of vacant land and the redevelopment of old dilapidated structures (homes and obsolete commercial ventures) in this project area. We believe that this area is a prime location for commercial/industrial development activities. The area can be characterized as a decaying "eye sore" with perhaps the greatest potential for stabilizing current and ongoing commercial, retail and other activities relating to the hospitality industry. The Santa Ana River is located on the southern boundary of the project area. Most noteworthy, however, is the lack of development north of the river. with a mix of old dilapidated commercial and residential structures, vacant land covered by shrubbery, dairy farms, .the area seems ready to "suffocate" the few thriving commercial ventures and public golf course. 3. Widening of Mill Street to seventy-two (72) feet between curbs) from Waterman Avenue to Tippecanoe Avenue: $1,500,000 8/4/88 11 This project may be viewed as the third component of the above two (2) projects. It location is in the middle of the above two project areas, the same factors as defined in the above two projects also affect this project. The main focus, however, is in accommodating the daily average traffic volume of 14,000 vehicles (93% of capacity) that is primarily generated by Norton Air Force Base. By widening Mill street, traffic congestion on Waterman Avenue will also be alleviated. This project should also result in development of vacant industrially and commercially zoned land. The immediate area is characterized by vacant land interspersed with government offices, industrial and commercial development. The street widening would especially make development of industrially zoned land feasible. The outlying surrounding area, particularly those extending south on Tippecanoe, is characterized by vacant land, blighted residential neighborhoods and extensive industrial development further south along Cooley Avenue. The area also has prime access to the Santa Fe Railway system, which would encourage further development of the industrially zoned land. 4. Construction of bypass around Norton Air Force Base, from Mill Street to Tippecanoe Avenue: $1,600,000 The fourth component of the above clustered projects is being considered in an overall effort at developing the southeastern section of the City. This project would alleviate the traffic congestion currently experienced around the Norton Air Force Base (reference project number "3" traffic volume). Though no specific route for the bypass has been established, this project would conceptually route civilian traffic from Waterman Avenue and the surrounding communities towards the industrial developments located just south of Mill Street and east of Waterman Avenue. This area is zoned for industrial development and contains large acreage of developable land. The bypass would offer a flow of traffic consistent with the demands of such industrial development such as labor and transportation of raw and finished goods. The area is characterized by its large acreage of under-developed land covered with shrubbery, vacant lots (some strewn with old abandoned automobiles and other garbage) and dilapidated houses (some of which are old and abandoned). 5. Interconnect traffic signals on Inland Center Drive from Route I-215 Freeway to "G" Street: $ 12,000 This project is being considered in order to alleviate congestion 8/4/88 12 by providing a better traffic flow for Inland CeDter Mall traffic. The mall is one of the two largest in the Inland Empire with a total area of 890,000 square feet. The trade area for the Inland Center Mall retail activity extends to a ten mile radius which includes the surrounding communities of Redlands, Loma Linda, Rialto, Colton and Fontana (see Attachment "4"). This would indicate extensive retail activity, and, consequently, extensive traffic flow in and out of the area. The mall can be accessed both from Freeway 1-215 and Inland Center Drive "E" street and Orange Show Road. However, the major access is the 1-215 Freeway and "G" Street. These routes converge at the front entrance of the mall causing intense traffic flow in a very short stretch of roadway. The commercial complexes, warehousing facilities, and major department stores along "G" Street add to the traffic congestion. There are four (4) traffic signals along this short stretch of roadway, the first and fourth signal being situated at either end of the mall. The fact that these signals are not synchronized causes undue traffic congestion. 6. Install street lights on South "E" Street from Orange Show Road to Mill Street: $ 92,400 "E" Street is considered a major access route connecting the City of San Bernardino to the City of Loma Linda eventually to the City of and Redlands. Given the "rush-hour" traffic on Freeway 1-10 (see Attachment "5"), this route has served to ease the traffic flow and also provide access to the Hospitality Lane area. Currently there are no street lights in the targeted project area. The City considers this project essential to the development of several business ventures including the Orange Show facilities where major entertainment events are held (including off-track betting); auto sales, which is conducted throughout the many dealerships (a significant auto center is situated further south on "E" Street) until 8:00-9:00 p.m., seven (7) days a week; retail sales conducted at the nearby Inland Center Mall; movie theaters, both at Hospitality Lane to the south and at the Inland Center Mall; night club activities at Hospitality Lane to the south and downtown San Bernardino to the north; and, eating establishments all along "E" Street from downtown San Bernardino to Hospitality Lane. All the above activities generate a significant amount of night traffic. 7. Replace street lights on "0" Street from 5th Street to Baseline Street: $ 96,000 This project is zoned for mixed use, residential and suburban usage. The area is characterized by deteriorated residential structures interspersed with some commercial ventures, both new and substandard. Many of the current lighting fixtures are broken and are of different design. 8/4/88 13 The City views this project as one that would not only beautify the neighborhood, but also assist in reducing any criminal activity. with proper lighting in this project area, the City believes that pedestrian traffic in the downtown area will be encouraged. The City is currently engaged in several activities which are geared to revitalize its downtown area, most notable among them being the Main street Project. These projects all have one common purpose, which is to encourage business activity in the downtown area, particularly through the encouragement of night time activities. Another reason for prioritizing this project is the prospect of encouraging professionals working in the downtown area to take up residence in and around downtown.
